Which title sounds better?

Question

My History Day group and I are split on which title we should use on our documentary about the Armenian Genocide and how it influenced the Holocaust:

The Armenian Genocide:
-Catalyst of Future Genocides
-Bloodshed in the 20th Century
-Deathly Catalyst

Answer 1

Although I have to be honest and say I really don't like any of these titles (sorry), "Deathly Catalyst" is the most direct title that says what you just said about "how it influenced the Holocaust." "Catalyst of Future Genocides" is more vague and not related specifically to the Holocaust, as your documentary seems to be. However, genocide has existed for centuries, so really, the Armenian Genocide isn't the only catalyst to the Holocaust. You might try a title like "A Madman's Reasoning" - referring to the "Armenian quote" that comes from Hitler's speech referring to the Armenian slaughter, or "Catalyst for a Madman." I mostly object to the vagueness of the first two titles, and the word "deathly" in the last one - I think you could find a better word than "deathly" to go with catalyst. Just trying to help. Good luck!

Answer 2

I'm a judge for History Day...Find another title, none of these describe your project. The start is good "The Armenian Genocide:" but you need to connect it to the Holocaust.

Answer 3

I like 3 but try Deadly Catalyst instead of Deathly Catalyst.

Answer 4

The Armenian Genocide -- to the point of what the topic is about. this would let the reader/viewer know exactly what the topic is and what can be expected.

Answer 5

The first one might be be the most precise, but it's also provocative. The second is much too vague and could have to do with Nazi Germany as much as Armenia. The third is just too leading: you don't know where it's going or what it means...leaves too much to the imagination.

Answer 6

one of the first two, def not the third, maybe even better use the second

wat about somthing like this:
unexpected bloodshed
or
20th century deaths

Answer 7

first is best for such film .but i'd call by hitlers words when he
says '..who remembers armenian genocide...'

Answer 8

I'd say the first one. It's the most specific. If not that one, my second choice would be the second one.

Answer 9

UMMMMMMMMM NONE BUT IF I HAVE TO PICK MAYBE 2 OR 3 GOOD LUCK I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO CHOOSE A TITLE FOR YOUR THINGS
