Write a cause-and-effect essay discussing a historical event. Be sure to focus on either the cause(s) or the effect(s) of the event. Also, try to focus your paper on a specific event. For example, instead of writing about the Second World War, you should focus on a moment in that war, such as the attack on Pearl Harbor. Remember to be specific and detailed in your writing. Some things you might want to think about:
- What was the causal chain that led to the event?
- What were the ramifications of the event?
- How is the world different because of it?
