Google Finance has an API (code.google.com/apis/finance/) and you can use various currency symbols to get data about conversion rates (e.g. GBPUSD to get the value of the pound in US dollars).

Current is very easy to find. If you need historical, the NY Federal Reserve has data series of currencies compared to the US dollar in XML form. If you're willing (and can afford to) parse them on your server side or even the client, they may come in handy newyorkfed.org/xml/fx.html.

We had a need to use conversion sites for international share transactions (only for estimates of course, the user got the exchange rate that was active when the trade went through, written into the contract to cover us legally). OANDA was the provider, we used the FXConverter tools if I remember rightly. They had both real-time and historical information for absolute bucketloads of currencies.

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.
