Bridget's feedback:

"The reader can see you've spent time with the literature; overall, this project shows good control over the historical details that form the various narratives of World War II. This current draft feels somewhere between project notes and rough draft; organizing your research notes into the essay structure is a key moment, and you are off to a good start in that regard. The argumentation and thesis seem to appear at the end (who "won" the war; on the other hand, this may just be the argumentative focus of the last section), so your task may be to start imposing that thesis-driven structure and logic across the various sections of the paper. As you do this, you may discover other organizations and approaches; staying flexible in this stage of the writing process will be a good strategy.

Another decision-making task will be the whys and hows of presenting the entirety of FDR's address; unless the prompt or project instructions specifically require this, I advise not to include the whole text.

As a final note regarding later in the writing process, you will want to proofread for errors (such as consistent capitalization) and work a bit further with sentence variety and transition language within paragraphs for flow."
