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

I am thinking that the cause of the conflict is the americans! this is what i think because i dont think any of there reason to defend themsleves is that good information. there was a lot of things that the chinese could help then with that they didnt want it.

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

The americans and the chinese where the ones involved in this conflict. It took place in seattle, washington in 1882. The conflict was the attitude toward the chinese. Who was responsible for this act? The federal goverment in the countries capital. (historylink.org)

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

The first factor is that the immagrants were needed to fill the factors of the exploding economy. Another factor that helped cause the conflict is that the americans looked down on the immagrants. this is not what they should have done they had no reason to do this. The last factor that i have is the people belived that the chinese were taking the jobs of americans. They were in need to have job filled and they didnt look at any of these things in a positive way!

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

The most important factor is that the immigrants were needed to fill the factors of the exploding economy.I think this because without them the jobs would not be filled and we would be even more down in the economy.I think that the chinese were helping us not trying get on are bad side! They where coming from where they live to get away because where they live is not as good as america!

**How could the conflict have been avoided** If Americans really looked at the problem rather than the Chinese immigrants, they would discover more efficient solutions. Could Americans racism and resent towards Chinese be avoided? Yes. If racist events in the past, like slavery, didn't occur then perhaps Americans view on the problem would be different.I think that the americans need to look at the problem and they need to see that it all would have still been going on if the chinese where here or not.
