Im doing a report on a person/event in history..?

and it has to be about the triumph or tragedy of an event or what the person did.

for example: the creation of penicillin a triumph or tragedy? or women's roles in WWll: triumph or tragedy? etc. etc.

so i've narrowed it down to a few topics, but can't decide which to choose. the paper has to be 1500-2500 words also.

so i was wondering..out of these which would be easiest to write a paper on, most interesting, etc.:

Ray Kroc: Fast Food Changes America

Saladin: Crusades

Winston Churchill: Fight Against Tyranny

The Triumphant and Tragic Voyage of Christopher Columbus

Creation of the State of Israel

Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii: Destruction of a Culture

Vincent Van Gogh: The Triumph and Tragedy of Genius

Relocation of Japanese Durning WWll

Joseph Stalin and the Purge of Russia

Galileo: Triumphant Discoveries, Tragic Life

Social Securtiy Act, 1935

It would be a great help if you could help me narrow it down even more!

Well, honestly there are many factors in deciding each of these have good points and bad points, You should really decide on what interests you. I might go with the creation of the State of Israel, simply because it has many far-reaching ties, you can connect in to World War II, and modern day conflicts, plus it should be easy to find information relevant to your subject.
