Reflection #2
Looking back at my pre-writing after the workshop I have decided to write about the
Treaty of Versailles to argue what I think is the most influential moment of the 20th-21st
Century. This Treaty caused the Great Depression and WWII which would ultimately change the
world forever and it is fairly evident in the less than 100 years since it was signed. I feel like this
has the most to write on compared to my other options plus I believe it has the strongest
argument to be the most influential moment. I was already leaning toward this topic even though
the other topics peaked my interest more. For the sake of the argument I will go with the Treaty
of Versailles.
