Please use the three Wikipedia articles listed for Wednesday (as well as your notes, content in Land of Hope, and any other resources you might have or find). You must include a clear thesis statement, and provide three clear reasons for its failure, along with some historical evidence/references to support your stance. Bring this essay to school.
