Is Mount Everest the highest mountain in the world?

When it comes to "above sea level", yes. It reaches an elevation of 8848 meters (29,028 feet) above sea level But the summit of Chimborazo in Ecuador is farther from the Earth's center than Everest's because of the Earth's equatorial bulge. The tallest mountain from base to peak is likely Mauna Kea in Hawaii, which has more than half its height submerged below the ocean.

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.
