Your essay will enable you to practice examining individual conflicts that are happening for different reasons, and explore whether or not they share similarities with other conflicts.
Review your lesson activities about Xinjiang, Chechnya, and what you have learned in this lesson about Quebec.
Identify the players and underlying causes of each of the conflicts, whether or not there are any similarities or differences among the conflicts, and what other criteria might help you determine what each conflict does or does not have in common.
