Step 2: Create a Thesis Statement
The purpose of a thesis is to summarize the key arguements of your essay into one firm statement. Strong thesis statements usually need to include about 3 points that you intend to prove through the essay.
When coming up with your thesis for a historical essay there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Make sure to include specific examples that you will later discuss in detail
- Do not use 1st person
- Do not write refer to "this essay"
