I like how so much of what we learned in history over the past two years was unnecessary. For IB Paper 1, I chose the Mid Cold War/Vietnam War. For IB Paper 2, I chose the impact of WWII on Germany and the origins of the Cold War (note: these are essentially the same question). For Paper 3, I chose Bismarck/German Unification, the effects of WWI on Germany, and the effects of WWII on the "civilian populations" of Germany and Soviet Union (note: see last note). And for AP Euro, my third essay was about why Germany was defeated during WWII. Silly? Sieg Heil.
