The similarities are that the French leader, Louis XVI, and the Russian leader, Nicholas II were both rulers who didn't really want to be the ones in charge. They both wanted to live simple, relaxing lives, and their subjects paid for it. Their leaders made poor financial decisions, putting the townspeople into economic crises.
They people never liked Louis and Nicholas because of things like this, and they wanted to overthrow them. In both revolutions, the rulers and their families were executed The main difference between the two revolutions is that the French revolution resulted in a democratic government and the Russian resulted in a communist government.
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.
