Modern European History from 1648 AD-current times

    Write a History Research Paper of at least 2,000 words within the confines of the course. This means within the proper timeframe of the course. Based on the class you are in the timeframes are the following: History 004: Ancient European history (including the Near East) through the Reformation up to 1648 AD History 005: Modern European History from 1648 AD-current times History 025: World History to 1500 AD You will choose your own topic. Part of learning to write a general history research paper is finding a topic that is appropriate for the course you are in so pay attention to the dates above. This may feel intimidating. So, try to think first of a place and time period you are most interested in learning more about. If you are in History 004 for example, is it ancient Israel, or ancient Greece or Rome, or is it Medieval or Renaissance Europe you wish to research? If you are in History 005 are you more interested in the events of the 1600s, 1700s or something more modern? If you are in World which society or culture is most interesting to you? Then try to decide what kind of topic you are interested in. Do you like art or architecture or literature? Is a particular historical person interesting to you? That is how you will narrow down your topic. Research what is interesting to you. Once you think you have a topic feel free to email me, if you are not sure about it, and I am happy to discuss it with you.
