Review of ECE World Conflicts Since 1900

[Professor_Adam]

I took the written version.
Well my experience is different than most. I read both "Why Nations Go to War" (great book BTW!), and I read "Understanding International Conflicts." (Snooze Fest!) I also shelled out $34 for the Excelsior photo-copy book of essays on international conflict. (Rip OFF!) The problem is I studied these in August/early Sept and took the test today. Long story but anyway, I don't have the books with me and took it anyway while I'm home. I think I did well. If you read those books you'll be fine. I won't get my results for a week or so. I'll post my result then.

I came across these topics:
Unity Dam
Sierra Leone, 1999
Operation Haven
Iran/Iraq war (causes, US involvement)
Clash of the Civilizations
Truman Doctrine (derived from what)
Votes and makeup of UN security council and perm. members
Kin Country Syndrome
"Torn Country"
Article 51, UN Charter
Defining Terrorism in French Revolution

Definitely know your differences between state moralist, realists, and liberalism. Understand multilateralism, bipolar states, balance of power/terror etc.

Good luck!
