Thesis: Political & Economic developments in Ukraine and/or Crimea
While Ukraine is on the brink of an acrimonious civil war due to the increase of Ukrainian nationalism as a result of Russian invasion and the annexation of Crimea, the anti-government protestors continue to show opposition after the government abandoned an EU agreement in which blood was shed by the police during riots; meanwhile, tensions rise between ethnic groups because of the cultural and linguistic divide between them.

The use of ethnic groups twice in the last line is a bit awkward, and at "...tensions rise..." maybe put a semicolon to break up the sentence a bit more. Overall, it was very good.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good thought-out thesis Nora. Maybe put a "in which" where the "and" is in "abandoned an EU agreement and blood was shed" to make the sentence flow better.
ReplyDeleteLots of information here - you're definitely on the right track. It will be helpful to rephrase your thesis for clarity. Also, be sure to tie in the geo-political & socio-historic issues that have helped to shape the present. You may want to look specifically at developments since the Orange Revolution or it might be necessary to go all the way back to the break-up of the Soviet Union.
