The only case study I ever did in High School was on Karl Marx. I got the only un-curved A in the class for that assignment.

The whole of the Cold War is one hell of a subject. Be sure not to jump on the band wagon and call it an ideological conflict. Stalin made sure there was no ideology or thought left in the USSR, and the free market is not much of an ideology, but an excuse.
Three words:
Gaius. Julius. Caesar.
When he was 20-something he was kidnapped by pirates. He befriended the pirates. He joked with the pirates. He told the pirates that once his ransom was paid and he was released he'd come back, find them, and have them all crucified. His ransom was paid. They said their farewells. Then he came back, found the pirated, and had them fucking crucified.
I haven't found anything that catches a reader's attention quite like that.

Oh yeah I'm not banking on finding the topic im going to use here, I just wanted to know what other people would do in my postionKeava said:
There's definately a surprising amount to be done on the Irish involvement (or lack there of depending on your opinion) in WW2. Theres the way Churchill tried to pressure De Valera into bringing Ireland into the war, mostly because of the ports that had been returned to Ireland just a few years ago which, had the British still owned them would have forced Ireland to enter the war. There were also the thousands of Irish citizens who enlisted into the British Army, one of whom, Paddy Mayne (I think) became possibly the most decorated British soldier in WW2. Hell, I think after the end of the War they found the plans for Hitlers planned invasion of Ireland; Operation Green... That man was originalTrivun said:Well, I guess the easiest case study would be on something really famous like World War 2 or something.
Actually, that's the best idea I can think of right now. Purely because you are Irish. Thing is, Ireland was supposed to be neutral in WW2, refusing to take part in the war on either side, and the Axis pretty much left you guys alone. However, I saw on 'Coast' the other week that Ireland actually secretly did a bunch of stuff that helped the Allies, particularly setting up hidden markers so that US and Canadian pilots would know that they were over Ireland and whereabouts they were, for navigation purposes, after crossing the Atlantic.
Stuff like that, focussing on how Ireland secretly helped the Allies in WW2? That would make a pretty good, fairly easy, and really interesting case study for you.
Just go with whatever interests you and that you think you could write enough about. Good luck
Do the crusades. They're interesting as fuck, adn you can compare it to modern day events nicely and I garuntee your teacher will orgasm over that kind of thing.
Ooh, and there was the one time he tried to stage a nuclear coup on the U.S!Mikeyfell said:

The effects of alcohol on history:
1. Greatest cause of death during the Middle Ages (accidents)
2. How people in the Middle Ages drank heroic amounts of it
3. Holy Friday- During the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution, the day when you were paid and therefore went out drinking.
4. Beer Hall Pitch- Hitler's attempt to getting people to reform Germany. He was thrown in jail and wrote Mein Kampf.
5. Prohibition and the rise of gang life.

Well in that case, personally i'd go for Weimar Republic time in German history. Great cultural revival after WW1 followed by Hitler's ride to power and study of how a seemingly normal country can just within years become obsessed with nazi ideology. Plus i'd get a chance of writing about Bertold Brecht and probably even add the the image painted in Cabaret musical.TheButteryGoodness said:
