Why is the holocaust called Holocaust?

Depends. There is something called 'title capitalisation', where you capitalise each word (excluding articles and possibly some or all grammatical conjunctions) when used in a title of a work of art or similar. Eg.

The title of a book would be "To Kill a Mockingbird", or a film would be "I Know What You Did Last Summer". In the same vein, a class or lecture series could be titled "European History From the Fall of Rome to Renaissance". Whereas when you then talk about European history as a concept, you would treat the word 'history' as a normal common noun and only capitalise it at the start of a sentence (eg.

"When and where exactly 'European history' starts has been the subject of much academic debate..."). So to answer your question: yes, there *can* be a capital H in 'history', but there doesn't *have to* be.

I feel like if you were listing it or some kind of doc, you'd say European History but if you are just writing it out then it wouldn't really matter.

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.
