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

I believe that the American workers and the goverment were responsible because they made the chinese chinese exclusion final and the american workers got jelous and greedy and they didnt want to work things out with the chinese they just wanted their jobs back they didnt care about how the chinese would feel.

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

The chinese exclusion started at around May 6th 1882 - October 12th 1943 when the chinese came to america and began to work there for less money than the american workers. The american workers lost their job because they asked for more money and people hired the chinese because they worked for less and got the job done.

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

1. The americans got really greedy. They thought that the chinese would take everything away from them. 2. They wanted the gold for themselfs. They didnt want to share the gold with the chinese. 3. The chinese also took away all the jobs for the american citizans.

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

I think the most important factor is that the chinese took away all the jobs for the american citizans because then the americans realized how much the jobs impacted their lives and they got greedy and also were afraid that the chinese will ruin their lives. One factor leads to a lot of problems.


 * How could the conflict have been avoided?**

The american workers could talk with the chinese and have a way to work it out so they could both have what they want without having any lost lives. They didnt have to exclude the chinese they could have the chinese work in special places and they could get what they wanted too.


 * at sources of information have you used? **
