Question

im supposed to write a final paper for U.S. history and i cant find a good topic to reserch and write about. please help the topic can be anything to do with U.S. history AFTER the year 1920

Answer 1

Do a paper on prohibition. Then you can write about the gangstars of the roaring 20's.

Answer 2

Write about the "space race" of the 50s and 60s. The Apollo-11 moon landing is perhaps the biggest event that brought our country together (especially in a bitter "red scare" era against Communist Russia) in the 20th century. You can also allude to the modern-day space station, which is a joint effort among many nations, including the U.S. and Russia.

Other possible topics: the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the assassination of JFK, the unprecedented four terms of office for President FDR during World War II -- a feat that will never be repeated (due to legislature limiting a president to two four-year terms).

Answer 3

League of Nations
Mickey Mouse comic strip (1930)
Prohibition
Herbert Hoover
FDR
World War II
The D-Day Invasion
2nd Rangers and Pointe du Hoc
"Fat Man" and "Little Boy"
Manhattan Project
The United Nations
The Cold War
JFK
Richard Nixon
Vietnam
Ronald Reagan
Bringing down the Berlin Wall
US involvement in Grenada
The Space Shuttle Challenger
The First Gulf War
Rangers in Somalia
The Impeachment of Clinton
9-11

All of those are after 1920, and you should be able to find ample sources for citation.

Answer 7

I gave this answer to a similar question yesterday:


I think WW2 is the most fascinating part of our country's history.

Something I didn't know is that Americans of German descent were called back to Germany to fight for the Nazis. Many answered that call. Imagine the internal conflict. Most people know that Americans fought Americans during the Civil War, but I was among the many who didn't realize it happened during WW2 as well.

Answer 8

theres alot in the Civil Rights movement, like the Greensboro sit-ins, key civil rights leaders, Burmingham and how the press saw both sides. Montgomery bus boycotts (very sucessful)

Answer 9
