solved Introduction/Geographic      and Historical Factors: What

Introduction/Geographic      and Historical Factors: What aspects of geography influenced your      nations participation in the war?  What historical ties or      antagonisms contributed to your participation?  What recent      national history, particularly in the 25 years prior to the war led to      participation in WWII? Geographic issues such as contested borders, unique      natural resources, access to critical sea lanes, ground transportation      systems etc.
Political      Factors:  What was your nations form of government? Was it      stable? Unstable?  What were the major political parties? Who      were the leaders of your country at the beginning of the war? At the      end?  What nations were your allies?  What, if any,      had been the major impacts of the FIRST World War been on the country? In      what ways may political issues have contributed to your participation?                  
Social      and Economic Factors:  Assess the social structure of your      nation. Were there frictions between ethnic or religious groups? What type      of economy did your nation have?  What were the major economic      resources or industries which may have influenced your nations      participation? If your nation was a colony of another power at the time of      the war, were there independence or nationalist movements?  If      your nation had previously been the territory of another nation, were      there lingering ethnic or political frictions?  What impact had      the recent Global Depression had on the country, if any? 
Military      Strength and Capabilities: Describe your armed forces at the time      that war broke out for your nation. How big were they?  Key      military leaders?  What was their level of modernization? Did      they have a particular advantage or disadvantage? What significant actions      did they participate in? What was their status by the end of the war?      Losses? If your nation was overrun/occupied, did they continue to resist      or contribute to the Allied or Axis cause?  How?
Significant      Outcomes/Conclusions: Identify at least four significant outcomes      for your nation due to your participation in the war. Focus on the      post-war period of about twenty-five years from the end of hostilities for      your nation. Did your borders change?  How did they change? Did      your political system change? How? Did your political alignments change?      How? Were there major changes in your social or economic structures? What      were they?  What were your nation’s civilian and military losses      in the war? In summary: What was your relative influence, power, and      condition in the world at the end of the war, as compared to the outbreak      of hostilities for the nation?

Additional Requirements:

Include      an updated Standard Bibliography as the final page of your outline. This      is NOT a copy of your Annotated Bibliography.  Be sure to      include any additional sources identified since submitting your Annotated      Bibliography. You are required to include at least SEVEN sources in your      outline.  For details on Standard Bibliographic entries,      see https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html  or      look in the Course Resources Tab under Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide.      A sample bibliographic entry for a journal article looks like this: 
Satterfield,        Susan. “Livy and the Pax Deum.” Classical Philology 111, no. 2 (April        2016): 165–76.
Submit      your outline in MS word or docx format. 

Additional Information on Outlines:
Many students panic when they are unable to immediately produce an outline for a research paper. In fact, such outlines generally take longer to develop, are started later in the writing process, and remain more malleable than other outlines you have devised. You begin writing an outline after conducting some research, and you should remain open to the new evidence that continuing research provides. You should also act on any hunches you might have about where to look for new information and then expand your outline. As you manage your research project, keep the dynamic character of outlining in mind.”
Per the UMGC Online Guide to Writing and Research: “Outlining is just another way to organize your ideas and can be used at every stage of the writing process. Especially in the planning stages, outlining may be informal—a scratch list of points you want to make. Ideas are often simply jotted down in an order that appears to make sense to the writer in thinking about the topic. At a more developed stage, an outline may expand on several aspects of the thesis and controlling idea. A formal outline, on the other hand, may contain complete sentences that expand on the major and minor supporting statements for the clearly delineated thesis statement. How formal and detailed your outline is depends on the demands of the writing task and what kind of writer you are. To summarize, outlining can help you plan and manage your writing assignment in several ways:

It      helps you organize information.
It      facilitates sharing information with your peers and your instructor to see      if you are on the right track.
It      helps you think in writing as you are deciding what to say in your first      draft”
