Atkinson, Phillip. The French Revolution The Start of the Decline of Western Civilization. French Revolution January 25, 2004. http://www. ourcivilisations.com (accessed October 27, 2004). I used this source as my internet source. The information in the source seems to be written in a scholarly way; however, there is nothing on this article that can lead me to think that all the information that the author gives is credible. The website has a .com ending rather than a . org or .edu ending, which leads me to think that it did not come from a scholarly university. This website is just a website that I found using a regular search engine. I did not get it from an encyclopedia search engine, so the source does not have a well-known or scholarly author. A valid reason to question the credibility of this source is the author. The author is not well known, which means I couldnt trust all the information that he provided. The content of the article seemed to be pretty good, and the article had more than three pages of information. Most of this information pertained to my hypothesis. However, it was unclear to me whether or not the information provided in this article was credible or not. Overall, I think that this article had a lot of information, but I would not use it because I question its credibility. Bentley, Jerry H., and Herbert F. Ziegler. Traditions and Encounters. 2nd ed.

I found a section that was about six pages long on the French Revolution. We use it in history class, so I know it is highly credible. This source was good because it not only had a lot of information about the French Revolution, but it also had maps and pictures to compliment the information. Both authors, Jerry H. Bentley and Herbert F. Ziegler are well-known authors. I know this because I typed each of their names in a search engine and both of them came up with many results that relate to different World History books. Overall, I thought this was an extremely good source because of the amount of information and pictures it contained. Bentley, Jerry H., and Herbert F. Ziegler. Traditions and Encounters. 2nd ed. Vol. 2. Boston, Massachusetts: McGraw Hill 2003 pic This is a great picture that I found in the Bentley Ziegler textbook. I am using this map as my visual. This map indicates the different territories that were owned by different countries during the time of the French Revolution. This somewhat relates to my thesis because it shows which colonies had more land. Having more land led to be a better fighting force.
