Albert Einstein figured out the equation E=MC^2. And that lead him to create the Atom bomb which lead to nuclear technology such as nuclear plants and other things. Also he was the most brilliant scientist in the world.
He created the theory of relativity which is a proven and most science we use to day was built from one or the other.
Well you can do your own research, but I would suggest looking into his work on the atomic bomb. That is an extremely important and debated part of US history.
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.
