 * Modern World History - Honors**
 * Oral DBQ - The World After World War I**
 * Background information:** Immediately following the First World War, developing nations around the globe began to exert greater influence over their own affairs and, by extension, world affairs. The changes in these countries often followed similar patterns and added to the instability of the post-war system.
 * //Essential Questions (choose one)://**
 * 1) //To what extent was Nationalism a dominating force in developing nations following the First World War?//
 * 2) //To what extent was Modernization a dominating force in developing nations following the First World War?//
 * 3) //To what extent could developing nations after WWI boast a local traditional of democracy, which could have potentially led to modern democratic states had they been properly exploited?//
 * 4) //To what extent did movement away from democracy characterize developing nations in the post-war period//
 * Goals:**
 * Finished Product:** Your digital-based presentation (Voice Thread, etc.) will be in the form of an “oral DBQ”. Each part will be presented to the class through an oral presentation which mirrors the format of a DBQ essay (though, besides the works consulted page, there will be NO written component to the project). The evidence will be in the form of pictures. When answering the question, your three main arguments can be general arguments backed up by three pieces of evidence – each from a separate country - OR each argument can focus on one individual country.
 * __Introduction:__**
 * __Three Body Paragraphs:__**
 * __Conclusion__**
 * When looking for your evidence keep the following categories in mind:**
 * **Politics (national and local)**
 * **Individuals (leaders of countries, leaders of movements, etc.)**
 * **Culture (art, philosophies, religions, political ideologies, etc.)**
