Question: What are some interesting world history term paper topics!?

!.!.!.I have to do a term paper for my global/world historyII class and I can't think of anything that's interesting!. I'm currently doing the French Revolution effects on the world but I can't find much facts about that and its not really that interesting of a topic to me!.
I would greatly appreciate any topics that you have in mind!.
It just has to be a topic from/between the enlightenment period to present-day (1550- present)!.
It also cannot be anything about american history

How about!.!.!.

- Why did Napoleon invade Russia and why did this invasion fail!?

- How did 20th Century world leaders rate against Machiavelli's model!? (You can read The Prince and put together a kind of scorecard!. It is really a brief and readable work!. Cite specific examples of things the modern leaders did or did not do!. Consider including Churchill, Lenin, Clemenceau, Ho Chi Minh, Stalin, Hirohito, Mao Tse Tung, De Gaulle, Hitler, Anwar Sadat, Golda Meir!. Try to get a good global mix!. You almost have to include a few American Presidents, especially FDR, in this analysis, but it is not about Americans!. Ask your teacher if that's ok!.)

- In what way did the Congress of Vienna make the First World War inevitable!? (Follow the political history of France and her neighbors from 1815 to 1914 and connect the dots!.)

- What impact did the rise of global imperialism have on global race relations today!? How does the impact differ for each European colonial power and for the various colonized regions!? (Don't forget Russia's eastward expansion in your analysis!)

So there's a few ideas!. Hope that helps!.

Thank you!.

Well, if you can do the project on ANYTHING then you could do it on WWII!. I find that war really interesting to learn about!.!.!. and it would probably be good to do a report on because its not as boring as some other history topics!.

And you wouldnt have to do america's point of view!.!.!. you could write about how Japan or Germany, or even other countries were affected by the war!. :]Www@QuestionHome@Com

Something about religion!.!. like the religious reformation!. You could talk about the Calvinist and Lutheran movement in Europe and how it was led by the spirit of the Italian Renaissance!. Then talk about how it has affected religion in present day, as apposed to the religion before these movements!.

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

How about writing about the balance of power system that The Vienna Congress set up in 1815 after the end of Napoleon and how it kept the general peace for almost 100 years in Europe!?
