Manhattan Project. Historical, but technical enough to where your can really stretch the fucker out.
Also, its ATOMIC BOMBS. Awesome!

for something a bit more out there you could do the the invasion of cyprus by turkey in the 1970's. to date cyprus is the only country in the world with a capital split between two different countries and there is still ongoing settlement talks. also on top of this there was serious american and british and greece politicing going on in the background which led to this. if you want a start on this you could research up on makarious (i think)
also you could talk about the political mumourings that led up to this after britain granted cyprus its independance in the 1950's.

Sir Isaac Newton's Theory of gravity and how it was revolutionised by Einsein's Theory of general relativity.
EDIT: It was more disproved/updated than "revolutionised" our knowledge of gravity was revolutionised.
Anyway, it's a pretty interesting story, and worth looking into anyway. There're plenty of books that deal soley with this topic and many more that discuss it in detail.

Wasn't there a guy in WW2 who went into battle with a broadsword? That would be a unique projext if anything.
The Spanish Armada of 1588. (The only reason that England isn't a Catholic province of Spain these days is that the whole thing was horribly mismanaged.)
Just don't do the Rising!TheButteryGoodness said:
I didn't do history but my friends say something you're interested in and challenging.
Yup, that was Jack Churchill.dogenzakaminion said:
The H.M.S. Glowworm and Lt-Cmdr Roope would be another interesting one. Not everyone is given a Victoria Cross on recommendation of the enemy commander.
How about Einstein's publications of 1905? It was one of the most significant years in the history of science. Or the eradication of smallpox in the late 70s? The extend of the space race between the US and USSR, and the batshit plans they had to take it even farther? As you can probably tell, I'm a bit biased toward scientific history...
Flirt with controversy, study the massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks and Kurds during WWI. To this day, the Turkish government refuses to recognise the slaughter of more the one million Armenians as genocide. They claim that these were just "casualties of war" and that the Turkish and Kurdish populations also suffered.
Don't let me bias you, make up your own mind.

Do something like the Berlin wall where there's loads of information and interviews to work from.
Now new infomation is out about it, thre Cuban Missile Crisis is great. Turns out the Soviets had nukes on Cuba before all the fuss even kicked up, they just kept up the chrade of 'oh we want to put nukes on cuba' to piss off the US. All the while going "mwuahaha we have had them on cuba all along!"TheButteryGoodness said:
Franklin D Roosevelt & the great depression? Quite relavent, which Barbarossa probably isn't.
Not that there's anything wrong with older histories, but modern history is about analysing evidence, and you'll stuggle with pre-printing times.

Go miles back and do some ancient history, Greek or Rome or maybe something mad like Babylon. I did mine on the Greco-Persian War of 480-79 BC, the one with Thermopylae in it. Thats right. I studied 300 for an essay. By the way, Xerxes wasn't an 8-foot tall psychopath. He quite liked gardening.
Another good thing with medieval or older history is that you don't have swathes of evidence to sift through, unlike modern history. This can leave a lot of room for conjecture, but sometimes thats the most enjoyable part. You still need to put in the work though.

The Spanish Civil War 1936-1939. The Allies and the Soviets both failed to stand up against fascism because it would've meant supporting communism, however many private citizens (mainly from Europe and the USA) including George Orwell travelled to Spain and volunteered to fight for the communist cause because they thought it was the right thing to do.
