NEW YORK STATE REGENTS EXAMS
GLOBAL HISTORY & GEOGRAPHY - JANUARY 2003

PART II -THEMATIC ESSAY

Directions: Write a well-organized essay that includes an introduction,
several paragraphs addressing the task below, and a conclusion.

Theme: Change

Throughout history, political revolutions had many causes. These revolutions affected society and led to many changes. The changes
may or may not have resolved the problems that caused the revolutions.

Task:

Choose one political revolution from your study of global history and
geography and:
• Explain the causes of the revolution
• Describe the effects this political revolution had on society
• Evaluate whether the changes that resulted from the political
revolution resolved the problems that caused it


You may use any example from your study of global history, but do not
use the American Revolution. Some suggestions you might wish to consider
include the French Revolution (1789), Mexican Revolution (1910), Russian
Revolution (1917), Chinese Revolution (1949), Cuban Revolution (1959),
or Iranian Revolution (1979).

You are not limited to these suggestions.

Guidelines:

In your essay, be sure to:
• Address all aspects of the Task
• Support the theme with relevant facts, examples, and details
• Use a logical and clear plan of organization
• Introduce the theme by establishing a framework that is beyond a simple
restatement of the Task and conclude with a summation of the theme
