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

My general belief is that the Whites caused the conflict by racsim. I believe this because in my notes it was saying that the whites were getting jealous of the chinese becasuse they were ocuppying jobs and created competition on the job market. That is why I belive that the White's discrimination towards the chinese is the main cause of the conflict.
 * What is the relevant background information (i.e. who, what, when, where)**

Around the 1850s all around the U.S chinese were getting discriminated about there race and were getting paid low wages. American Europenas were getting jealous of chinese occupying jobs, the chinese were hated so much that they had anti chinese clubs which excluded chinese. Anti Chinese congress demanded that all chineses were to leave Washington by November 1. Suddenly all Chinese fled to Oregon.

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

What caused the conflict was mostly racism, the american eurpeans were getting jealous because the chinese were occupying there jobs, and not responding to the situation properly because they desperatley needed immigrants to feed factories and expand the economy, well if you don't appreciate them occupying your jobs then what was the point of letting them come here.

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

Well Racism is one of the most important factors than the others because if they learned to get along with each other and not create such a big deal by having anti chinese clubs and banding them from immigrating back we wouldn't even have this conflict. The thing about racism is that people do not appreciate having you here. That is one of the main factors that even occur now.

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

Well the conflict could have been avoided by not making it a big deal, like if the chinese are occupying jobs than why should you be jealous of that they are helping you expand the economy, but think about it racism is what caused the whole situation. If they just thought about making the U.S a better place for everyone we wouldn't have this conflict.
