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

I belive that the government is the resopnsible for causing the chinese exclusion act.

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

In 1882 companies were told to fire their chinese workers to make room for other people like the english and people from great britan. This was happening in the north west.

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

One factor was the belife that people from great britan, and western and nothern Europe were better than the chinese. Many chinese imagrants first came to america to join the salmon canning industry, but eventualy almost all the canning buisness became chinese imagrants, this made americans started to resent the chinese, the outcries made congerss pass the chinese exclusion act.

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

If the public had not had their outcry than congress would of never passed the law of the chinese exclusion act.

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

By the government not telling the companines to fire chinese people.or having more jobs so the companies wouldn't have to fire anyone.

**What sources of information have you used?**
