Topic 1: European invasion of South Africa. I havent't learnt anything about African history and it would be an interesting topic considering I have no background information of it's history in the 20th Century context. I could focus on African resistance to colonisation, the nature of the colonisation or the Boer War. I would need to decide on specific country's involved. | Topic 2: Personality Grigori Rasputin. I have no knowledge of Russian history, and I would be interested in researching a key influential figure. I could look into his position and influence on the royal family. |
