Like they say, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_language_is_a_dialect_with_an_army_and_navy a language is a dialect with an army and a navy." :).

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.
