First Midterm Examination
Directions: Answer the question as fully as possible. You may use your notes, text, and outside materials; however, if you do, they must be properly cited in an endnote page. Quotations and other materials used that are yours, you must cite in the course of your paper. Likewise, you must provide a bibliography as well. The assignment will be due on Monday, October 23. Question Lawrence Stone has developed an interesting model to explain social conflict. He breaks down the origins of wars, civil wars, and other social struggles into three categories. The first involves “preconditions,” the long-term stresses that make conflict possible. The second revolves around the concept of “precipitants,” those shorter-term tensions that make conflict probable. The final category is the “triggers,” those very near-term events that ensures the outbreak of war. How does model fit into the origins of World War I?
