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

Our very own government. They probably chose to get rid of the chinese because they might have found their religion a little offensive. Also they might have thoght that they came here to take our land. They came from china to the west coast of the U.S.

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

Who: China got kicked out of the U.S. What: The govenment found them offensive When: 1882-1965 Where: America and China

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

1. The economy went up 2. Chinese went home 3. More jobs for us Americans

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

Factor number three is more importaint because people need jobs so they can have a home and pay for food. This will help our economy. The economy help us have more jobs!

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

Just to leave the chinese alone. They would have been just fine here in America. The government wouldnt have to use all of their money to go through this big act.
