Who is your favorite historical figure and why?

I would say MAHATAMA GANDHI.......... Father of our nation who taught us how to win over others by means of non violence and love........

Strong woman, tribal leader and she knocked pieces out of the Romans.

I like everything wiki said about Vlad 3; im so sorry but I never learned about the Napolean, Henry's wife...

Several, but I choose Jose Artigas, he was the hero of my own country, fighting against the english invassion in 1805, to get freedom for the people. He always showed an attitude of compassion about his enemies, at the end of his batlles, the defetead soldiers were never executed, they were treated and released.

Alice Paul is my most favorite. She fought for the 19th amendment, giving women the right to vote. Then she went on fighting for Peace movements and the Equal Rights Amendment.

She is truly an inspiration of someone who will stand-up and fight for what she believes in. She truly seen through eyes of equality. I wished more people could be more like her, and see her as a role model.

Not because she protested for women the right to vote, but because she truly seen people equally. After I learned about her, she opened my eyes to the Quaker Faith. Something I find very fascinating and became very interested in.

German leader Ignoring how bad everything Adolf did was, he's one of the people in history who wanted to "take over the world" and tried. That's a pretty big goal and he went for it. It caused a world war and very few things that can make an impact like that.

I think the Roman emperor Augustus was a great person. He put order in Rome after the death of Caesar in a chaotic time. He defeated Anthony.

He created an empire. He was one of few Roman emperors who died naturally after a long rule.

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.
