History EPQ ideas

I'm thinking of doing an EPQ this year and I'm struggling to come up with a topic. I would like to do a Modern(ish) History themed one but got no further than that. I would also rather do a military or political history rather than social or economic.

I had a few ideas

•

Latin American revolutions

•

WWII - U-Boats (were they the biggest threat to Britain?)

•

Rise or fall of British Empire

•

Opium wars

If anyone has any good advice or ideas they would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Just read and make a lit of areas you find interesting.

I have just seen Imitation Game and Enigma (fiction). Plus the documentary station X about the
word done at Bletchley Park.

You could do a great EPQ on that or a reappraisal of Turing. there were several others in history whose contributions seem to have been phased out or gone unrecognised.

An event or person I think fits nicely into 5000 words. make sure there is scope for research, you are interested and theres an opportunity to do analysis and evaluation.
