I want to enter my school's "History Fair" competition...it's much like science fair, only it's history-related. There's a theme: "Debate and Diplomacy: Successes, Failures, and Consequences". I need a topic in the next few days, and I can't seem to come up with one...any suggestions will be a great help! Some of the things I'm interested in: -WWII era -California -Italy - American Pop culture And it's important to remember not to use the connotative definition of "history".-- in other words, these topics don't necessarily have to be the kinds of things we learn in a typical history class. Last year, the theme was "Innovations", and one kid did a project about the origins of Rock & Roll music. I want a creative topic; something that I can actually have fun with. And no, I'm not asking you to GIVE me a topic...just a few suggestions that may lead me to find one. Thank you! of course, "Debate & Diplomacy"(more political) isn't AS open-ended as "Innovations" is... hmm...
