Assignment No. 1
Historical Exercise
(1000 words, 20% weighting, due 3 April 2013)
This assignment is an exercise in historical interpretation. You are presented with two different views of the peacemakers at Versailles following the First World War. We ask you to consider how these historians can have different views of the same historical event.
The assignment is based on the reading provided for topic 2: ‘Remaking the World after the First World War’, including:
David A. Andelman, A Shattered Peace: Versailles and the Price We Pay Today, New Jersey, John Wiley and Sons, 2008, pp. 1-3, 4, 6, 9, 10-11, 13-14.
Margaret Macmillan, ‘Making War, Making Peace: Versailles, 1919’, Queen’s Quarterly, vol. 112, No. 1, 2005, pp. 8-18.
Alan Sharp, ‘Peacemaking after World War I’, in G. Martel (ed.), Companion to Europe 1900-1945, Blackwell, Oxford, 2006, pp. 261-75.
The Treaty of Versailles and the Problem of Peace:
Although it is has been common to trace the origins of the Second World War from the settlement to the First World War, there is considerable debate among historians about whether the peacemakers at Versailles were themselves wholly or partly to blame.
In this assignment, you are asked to compare the interpretations of the peacemakers presented by two historians, David A. Andelman and Margaret Macmillan. You should explain their arguments and be especially careful to point out where they disagree. In writing your essay, you should consider the following questions:
In what ways do Andelman and Macmillan differ in judging the men who made the peace at Versailles in 1919?
With whom do you tend to agree? Why?
You should refer to the piece by Alan Sharp to assist you, but it is not necessary to go beyond these materials to complete the essay. Please note especially that you are not to use internet resources unless accessed through the Deakin Library website.
You must footnote your essay using the Oxford system, which is outlined on pages 71-8 of the Guide to assignment writing and referencing
You may ignore the references to ‘op cit’ and ‘loc cit’, which are now redundant.
You must also include a bibliography at the end of your essay, listing alphabetically all of the sources you have cited.
There are faxes for this order.
