Holocaust?

Which historical event
Holocaust


This time a more precise historical event that the previous two I have looked at, the holocaust could be a great topic to research as, like WWI and WWII, it is so interesting. Also there is lots of papers/articles/documentaries about it online that I could use to research. 

As it's a more condensed event then the world wars it may be easier to talk about but it still spans a large period of time meaning it may be hard to talk about how accurate a film is in depicting the event. This is definitely a good historical event to research and am therefore quite likely to use it in my question, I will evaluate my last event, Titanic, and then decide.

WW2?

Which historical event
WWII

nazi

Similarily to WWI, WWII is a period in the 20th century which I find incredibly interesting, especially as it involves Hitler and his attempt to increase his power to a global level which is something fascinating to study.

As a topic it is rich in detail and is amazing to hear about, even to this day and so to conduct and investigation into it would be very interesting. Having said that thought WWII is quite a broad topic (5 years) and so condensing all the information may be hard therefore although I would thoroughly enjoy researching about WWII I may look at other historical events before choosing which one to include as part of my question.

WW1?

Which Historical event
WWI


For my question so far I have decided that I will investigate the accuracy of historical events in film, after some evaluation I realised doing one historical event will be better as I only have 5000 words maximum to write about it. Therefore I must choose between several different historical time periods/events and decide which one I want to investigate the accuracy of.

World war one (1914 - 1918) is a period in the 20th century which I find incredibly interesting, from the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand to the armistice signed by Germany on 11th November and all that occurred in between - as the first world war there were so many advancements, so many new things learnt and so many untold stories. 

As a topic it is rich in detail and is amazing to hear about, even to this day and so to conduct and investigation into it would be very interesting. Having said that thought WWI is quite a broad topic (4 years) and so condensing all the information may be hard therefore although I would thoroughly enjoy researching about WWI I may look at other historical events before choosing which one to include as part of my question,

Which Historical event?

EPQ
Which historical event?


After narrowing down the perimeters of my question the next thing to decide is what historical event/s to research and investigate for my question. There are many historical events I'm interested in so will evaluate each one individually and then choose which ones I want for my question, the different events so far are:

- WWI
- WWII
- Titanic
- Holocaust

However after doing some initial background research I have realised it will be better to pick just one, although it limits my research materials as I only have one event to look at it means my essay can be more focused and better structured. Therefore my decision when picking an event needs to be more precise as I can only pick one event, rather than 2 or 3 as originally thought.
