This is a journaling/free-writing exercise to demonstrate your understanding of the concepts. Please do not use your notes for this. Use the following Conceptual Understanding Rubric to guide the depth and details you include in your writing.  Sneak-peek: revolutionsWhat causes a revolution? There are several factors that may lead to a revolution--rarely is there only 1 cause. Often there are underlying factors. Consider the story of Alphonse the Camel -- was this not true for poor Alphonse's death? Revolutions are similar...it is not always caused by the final straw.
