How did political structures impact world history during the eras covered in this course (the beginnings of humanity up through the fifteenth century)? Why?

Craft a paper of 1,500-2,000 words (6-8 pages) that addresses the following two points using at least three primary sources to support your paper. In addition to the primary sources, you may also use your textbook and other secondary sources to support your points as needed.

How did political structures impact world history during the eras covered in this course (the beginnings of humanity up through the fifteenth century)? Why? Hint: Your one-sentence answer to this question will be your thesis statement, which should be clearly stated as the last sentence of your introduction paragraph. In your conclusion, you can expand the topic of your paper to think about how it helps your reader better understand the world today.

Given your thesis, what are three of the most significant people, societies, events, and/or ideas that prove this point and that you believe help us better understand the world in which we live? This will be the body of your paper, and you will incorporate your work from three of your four milestones here.

IMPORTANT: This paper MUST be one, cohesive work of writing that ties your thoughts together. You will need an introduction, a body, and a conclusion (accompanied by a references page). Here are some tips on what you should do and what you should not do:

You should not just be copying and pasting three of your milestone papers together and submitting it.
You should formulate your thesis and then think about the milestones you’ve written that best support it.
You should not rely on your milestones being written the way they are and expect not to edit them.
You should outline your paper to decide which milestones fit best where and which milestone should be cut.
You should then write your introduction, insert, edit, and rethink your milestones, and then write logical and smooth transitions between sections, following your outline.
You should write a conclusion that reinforces how you’ve proven your thesis through the evidence and draws together your thoughts into an appropriate closing statement.
You should reach out to your instructor with any questions as you work.
