 * What is your //general// belief about who or what is most responsible for causing the conflict?**

My general belief is that the conflict was cause by the Americans. Because that's the reason the the chinese acted. They also that passed the law in 1882 and that's when the rascim all started. The chinese didn't do anything wrong they just came to America to look for jobs and have a better life.

**What is the relevant background information (i.e. who, what, when, where)?**

The chinese act happened in 1882 and the chinese weren't treated fairly because of the Americans. Americans didn't like the Chinese. Americans didn't like the chinese because they took over all the jobs mostly.

**What were 3 factors that helped cause the conflict (politics, economics, geography, history)?**

One of the conflicts were that the white people were rascit against the chinese. White people didn't like chinese people. They would tour down or ruin the chinese houses just because they didn't like chinese people.They were different and others couldnt handle it so it called for thirty years of racism against the Chinese.

The next reason help cause the conflict was the job oppertuinties. Chinese took over the jobs because they were from another country. They wanted to get more money because 70% of the people were poor.

Lastly, the law also gave evidence of white Americans' economic concerns because it specifically targeted Chinese laborers, blocking them from entering American ports. American people were treating the Chinese unfairly as you can see.

**Explain why one factor is more important than the others.**

I think the most important was the politics. I think that because it never wouldv'e happened if the chinese haven't came to the United States. Also, the americans didn't have to be rasic

**How could the conflict have been avoided?**

The conflict can be avoided by
