Start exploring history between 1900-1909. The only rule is that you can't write about the US. You can research what was happening in the field that you are majoring in at that time (what were the major scientific discoveries at the turn of the century?); fashion trends (what would you be wearing, and who would be making those clothes in 1905?); culinary trends (could you get a hamburger in Mexico City in 1908?); communication advances (how long would it take to get a piece of news from Johannesburg to London in 1905?). We are curious about how you do your research. Did you google it? If so – what search term did you use? If you used a book – what book is it? Ideally, you'll try to write at least 150 words about something that happened, someplace or someone – or someone, someplace during something that happened (see what I did there?). Don't worry too much about the length, the point of this exercise is to get you to practice uploading assignments here, and start thinking about the past.
