Unit 5: Project
World War III: 
You have just covered the Second World War and its causes. Now, think about the global powers and conflict that they face today. You have two choices for this assessment.  You can create a 2-minute video presentation or write a 600-word essay.  You will describe one scenario in which World War III could begin.
A well-written presentation will reflect on what you learned about how World Wars begin and escalate, and why countries choose to involve themselves or remain neutral.
The intention of this assignment is for you to dig into how World Wars develop, so please stick to one scenario in which you will fully investigate the reasons for large-scale wars such as these.
