Process Paper
written by Alexandra Voronchikhina
Why I chose ths topic
I chose the Tehran Conference as my topic because I wanted to find out what had to be done to stop Hitler. Most people had heard of Hitler and what he had done but some do not know what had to be done to defeat him. I knew Hitler’s side of the story and I wanted to learn the story of the people who defeated him. I also chose this topic because this was a historical event where my birth country, the Soviet Union, also known as Russia, and my home country, the United States, worked together. None of these countries would have been able to defeat the Germans alone and when they got together, the leaders came up with a solution.
How I conducted my research
First, I went to my school library to look for some books on this topic. I found a couple that I was able to use for my website. Then I went to find books at the public library, where there is a larger variety of books. I found some primary source books that were written by people who were there during the war. There was even a book written by Winston Churchill about the conference. For additional help, I searched the internet to find more information on what was discussed at the conference.
How I selected my catagory and made my project
I chose to build a website because I had never build a website before and I thought that it would be interesting. Also in this day and age, building a website is simple and i could focus more on what goes into the site than how to make it. I made the website by using weebly.com . I experimented with what kind of layout would fit my project best. From there I put in the information that I got from my research which I thought was important .
How my project ties back to the theme
The theme is “Debate and Diplomacy in history; successes, failures, and consequences”.
My topic, the “Tehran Conference – 1943”, ties to the theme because it was the turning point of World War II. After Operation Overlord, the Big Three knew that there would be more battles but the worst was behind them. If it weren’t for this conference, then the Germans would have controlled the world. The Tehran Conference was also the first step of the creation of the United Nations Organization. The United Nations is an international organization where leaders from all the countries, from the biggest to the smallest, come to discuss international affairs. This organization decides the fate of every country. It was also an important event because it was only one of the two times that the Big Three met all together. Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt, otherwise known as the Big Three, had come to together to discuss the political matter of how to stop a war. The Tehran Conference was one of the most important political events and it shaped our modern world.
