Saudi Arabia is a despicable, cruel, dangerous monarchy that England and America are friendly with. They have the worst human rights history in the region, they chop off heads and hands regularly. Syria is under siege by ISIL and by political enemies/terrorists the U.S. supports, so you cannot really say much about that government other than Assad is secular and modern, and is nothing like Saudi Arabia.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
