These nations sought new sources of raw materials for their growing industries and competed with one another for control of overseas markets. In some cases competition among the industrialized powers reached the point of military threats and confrontations. Tension was particularly high in Europe, where major nations such as Great Britain, France and Germany vigorously pursued economic expansion. These and other developments eventually led to the first global war, World War I, which continues to fascinate historians to the present day. One of the issues still debated among historians is one of causation and responsibility. In a speech in October, 1916, American President Woodrow Wilson said that “no single fact caused the war, but…the whole European system is in a deeper sense responsible for the war, with its combination of alliances and understandings, a complicated texture of intrigues and espionage...” While Wilson believed this to be true, this war that was said to have been intended as a strictly limited war must be blamed on someone. It is essential to discover which nation is responsible for one of the most deadly, vengeful, and hostile conflicts of the 20 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 6pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;">th <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> century. Your task is to brainstorm, research, decide and support which nation should be considered the greatest villain of the war. <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">**Audience:** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You have been selected to attend a conference for well-known WWI historians. There has been much debate among these professionals about the actions of the nations involved in World War I—mainly France, Germany, Great Britain, Russia, Austria-Hungary and Japan. These people must ultimately decide whether one nation is fully responsible for the war by considering the actions, methods, attitudes and sentiments of the leading participants of the Great War. Therefore, your presentation should not only influence their decision but persuade them in thinking as you do about which nation should be considered the greatest villain of the war. <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">**Your Project Directions:** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The title of your presentation should be <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">**“** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">//The Greatest Villain of World War I// <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">**.”** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It will be set up like a persuasive essay (introduction, three body “paragraphs”, and a conclusion) but will be given verbally and presented visually, using a technology with which you are comfortable and is appropriate to the task. <span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Each “body paragraph” must be focused around one main argument from the class generated list about the characteristics for the villainous acts.
