Best thing you could do would be to use a higher-level library, like SDL or Allegro. This way, your program will work on top of X11 and on non-VGA framebuffers (e. G: displays on embedded ARM-based devices).
You are not allowed to do direct video (graphic mode) output in linux (protected OS). It was possible only in a dos (real-mode OS).
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.
