Essay Guidelines

Your question prompt for Essay 1 is:

Did the League of Nations Fail?

Your essay should be based on (a) the following assigned readings (available via Leganto, which in turn is available via our unit's iLearn space):

• Susan Pedersen, "Back to the League of Nations," American Historical Review 112, no. 4 (October 2007): 1091-117;
• Natasha Wheatley, "Central Europe as Ground Zero of the New International Order,"
Slavic Review 78, no. 4 (Winter 2019): 900-911;
• Heidi Tworek, "Communicable Disease: Information, Health, and Globalization in the Interwar Period," American Historical Review 124, no. 3 (June 2019): 813-42;
• Adom Getachew, "The Counterrevolutionary Moment: Preserving Racial Hierarchy in the League of Nations," chap. 2 in Worldmaking after Empire: The Rise and Fall of Self-Determination (Princeton University Press, 2019);

and (b) any other unit materials you deem relevant, i.e., lectures and worksheets. (Hint: the excerpt from E. H. Carr's The Twenty Years' Crisis in the Week 5 worksheet might be a useful piece to consider as you develop your argument.)

The question prompt should be taken as a starting point for your essay, but you should feel free to interpret the question broadly or reframe it as necessary. The main thing is that you showcase your ability to analytically and systematically think through a problem, and develop a reasoned and well supported argument about the nature and work of the League of Nations.

Essay 1 should be based on deep engagement with the assigned readings and unit materials. It should be clear to those reading your essay that you have completed and understood the assigned readings, but essays should not be mere summaries of the readings. They are the sources you will use to develop your own argument in response to the question prompt.

You are not expected to find any additional sources. This is not a research essay, but rather an essay designed to develop and test your analytical and writing skills. You will be assessed on your ability to articulate and develop a clear, coherent, and persuasive argument; your understanding of the provided readings; and the structure and style of your writing. (See the "Essay Rubric" below.) If you do use any outside sources in your essay, these should not be included at the expense of analysing the assigned readings.
