You can try with webdev. Server included in visual studio. VisualStudio use this for start a webserver when you debug.
With this you can start a webserver in the desire port (if the port is not used currently). I made a bat file for change some options. Check it.
First off, you're approaching this the wrong way.
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.
