Our_Moon Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 ~Oh, i forgot it can't be related to the United States in any way or form. So that's one for the French Revolution.~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hundred Years War War of the Roses The Magna Carta I mean honestly, you have 1400 years of history there. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger_Warrior Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The English Civil wars (there were three, although you might get away with it since it's commonly roled up into one). The second actually ended at the bottom of the hill I live on, next to the primary school I went to. I found it fascinating. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldJoe Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Vikings and their travels. For example, they were the first to "discover" North America. The black death in Europe, how it happend what effects it made. Thirty Years' War, a war fought between 1618 and 1648 in current Germany. There are many events for you to choose from, i would suggest Europe or Asia.

Our_Moon Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 ~There's not too much information on the Vikings. I like them, and i've looked into them a bit. The Thirty Years' War is a new one, i'll look at that. I'll check tomorrow to see if i can do the Black Death, and as for the Mongols, we just did like a month on them. I'm sick of them =S.~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Genghis Khan. one of the funniest deaths of any great ruler, and I'm sure you could write 5 pages about him. Double spaced, right?

Our_Moon Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 ~I'm not sure. I need to write like 10 pages of facts, then i stick it into one ~5 page paper. Single spaced, i'd guess, because it's formal.~ ~As for Genghis, there's only a few more humiliating deaths, other than being a great horseman, and falling off of your horse, thus putting you in a critical condition, such as laughing to death (which actually happened.)~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Horseman? I thought Khan was the one who got drunk at a feast and choked on his own vomit while he was passed out.

Our_Moon Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Horseman? I thought Khan was the one who got drunk at a feast and choked on his own vomit while he was passed out. ~I'm 95% sure he fell off of his own horse, causing him great injury. He died due to those wounds...~ On August 18, 1227, during his last campaign against the coalition of Jin Dynasty and Western Xia, Genghis Khan died. The reason for his death is uncertain and speculations abound. Some histories maintain that he fell off his horse due to old age and physical fatigue, ultimately dying of his injuries. Others contend that he was felled by a protracted illness such as pneumonia. The Galician-Volhynian Chronicle alleges he was killed by the Tanguts in battle.

superson Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The Religious Reformations in Europe (Protestant and then Catholic). We just learned about it at my school, I definitely know enough about it to write a 5 page paper on it. Hell, I did write a 3.5 page paper on it right before break, and that was only on the Protestant Reformation, not the Catholic Reformation. In Soviet Russia, glass eats OTers.

Ambassadar Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The Winter War would actually be a really cool topic except it happened 100+ years too late for his assignment. :P Here are some topics that I think would make interesting papers: The Fall of Constantinople which ended the Byzantine Empire The Siege of Vienna by the the Sultan Suleiman Charles Martel defeating the Muslim invasion in France The Peninsular Campaign by Wellington Napoleon's Invasion of Russia The Mongol Invasion of Japan and how the Samurai defeated them The Battle of Lepanto where Venice defeated the Turks to gain control of the Mediterranean Maybe something about the Knights Templar The Battle of Sekigahara where Tokugawa made the big first step to establishing his dynasty and becoming Shogun Agincourt or Crecy if you like knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
