    No, not really, you need an angle or a "spin" on it.

    I strongly suggest you narrow down your focus...I mean you could write pages on just 1 one of them, never mind 7.

    You'll do better for researching one aspect of a topic well then doing a broad overview of the whole topic.

    I'm sorry, I really don't think that that would be a viable project. Is this for Leaving Cert 2010 or 2011?

    Do whichever one you can find three credible sources for. Remember, you can only really use ONE internet source. Has your history teacher not been helping you with this?

    P.S. I'd go with Malcolm X, Pearl Harbour has probably been done to death.

    Pearl Harbour would be much easier though. Perhaps the development of the A-bomb and its effect.

    You don't have much time, just start it and get it done!

    Do you know what's involved? Has your teacher explained it to you?
