Based on a review that I have read, the developers did a lot of research to make the historical Venice as real as possible not just in the structures but in the way of life of the people during that time. The Assassin Creed 2 opens right in the middle of Italian Renaissance. This is considered one of the most important place and periods in human history.
During theis period lots of arts emerge and some of the artists were Michaelangelo and Raphael. The renaissance occur between medieval Europe and early modernity. The ideas that now seem basic but continue to rule our everyday lives such as banking, the printing press, and 3D perspective drawing, have their roots in this period.By 1450 the most important cities of this period were Florence, Siena, and Venice.
These places figure heavily in Assassin's Creed 2, concentrated most of the knowledge, wealth and political power that erupted during this Italian renaissance. Lorenzo de Medici plays an important role in Assassin's Creed 2 was a member of the Medici family who became the rule of Florence at the age of 20.
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.
