The Treaty Of Versailles: Was The United States Refusal To Sign The Right Choice? YES!
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Peace was a long way off with the Treaty of Versailles -- a covenant that was to bring world powers to pacification � due to the fact that the United States Congress refused to sign. This refusal shocked and angered other nations who depended upon America's participation as a means by which to move forward with the issue at hand. What might have been the positive aspects of signing the treaty? Clearly, France would not have felt so vulnerable and insecure, since Britain would not support it without American assistance. The writer discusses why America's refusal to sign the treaty was the right choice. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

The Truth in History
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper on the essay by Edward Hallett Carr entitled, The Historian and His Facts. The essay examines some interesting points in regards to history and whether much of it is actual truth or simply an interpretation of the facts set before the historian. Carr sets the reader up to question any and all history they have ever been exposed to. While some facts may undoubtedly be true, all history is essentially someone else's account of the events. Everyone has their own perspective and analysis of any given event and this is bound to influence how history is recorded.
