With this Inquiry, students will build an argument to answer the compelling question, “Why does the root of a conflict matter?” Across three supporting questions, students will investigate a wide variety of primary and secondary resources they can use to build their evidence based argument. The inquiry examines the roots of the Vietnam War, the Rwandan Genocide and the Second US-Iraq Conflict.
