In this assignment, you are to read a day in the life of the newspaper and analyze how the material therein intersects with the historical issues presented in class; you can pull whatever material you wish from the date you choose. You can access the newspaper at http://library.lmu.edu/databases.htm by searching for The Times of London.
Date: January 2nd, 1900
What was the social and political mood at the end of the century? What did the British newspaper hope for the new century? Had life improved for broad swaths of the population? How did imperialism and nationalism affect the outlook for the new century? Were there any major concerns which, in hindsight, one might say foreshadowed the Great War?
In your essay, you must use footnotes with specific references to the newspaper.
