Are you telling me that someone writing a dissertation, presumably for a history degree of some sort, does not already have his research materials lined up? It's August. Kind of waited to the last minute, eh? And if, indeed, for a history degree, you don't already know the answer? You should visit your adviser, you need to be just a little more narrow in your subject.

 

Someone find that "WWII explained through Facebook posts" for this dude.

 

Come on guys...weve all done it..I remember doing homework in school line...better time spent on my bike in sun and more knowledge gained...We are after all a repository on here..We can point folk to the where without doing it for em..If one youngster stays with it afterwards..history.. success..

 

Read "Paris 1919", by M.Macmillan and "A Peace to End All peace", D.Fromkin. Start there. Or as they say you must start at the beginning. As Churchill called it "another thirty years war"
