 How to Achieve Point #4 on a CCOT Essay- Global Context

Global context on a CCOT Essay can be achieved in one of three ways...

1.  Placing the Atlantic world in the context of world history (Ex: Similar to China, the U.S. has been experiencing an economic recession)
2.  Connecting the Atlantic world to a global process (Ex: While independence movements occurred in this region, other independence movements were also influenced by these event in another region)
3.  Interaction between two regions (Not only was this happening in the core European country, it was also happening in the country's colonies)
