In America, an address must contain the city and the state. When you write New York, NY, the first New York refers to New York City and the second New York to New York State. New York City is a city INSIDE New York State.
Actually, the addresses here in New York City can be more complicated than that, but that's the short and simple explanation.
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.
