Historical Hack: Interpreting and Comparing Primary Sources

What you’ll learn to do: practice close reading and make connections and comparisons between primary documents

In this hack, we will gain a better understanding of the role of international diplomacy and practice making connections and comparisons between primary documents. In the work to follow we will examine three declarations that establish, respectively, an international forum for multilateral diplomacy and a new state. All documents are also expressions of a particular philosophy or worldview.
