EPQ ideas (history based if possible)

I'm currently in year 12 and starting my EPQ project but I have no idea what topic to do it on and don't want to choose something that is too vague or even too precise
My A-Levels are History, Politics and English Lang/lit and I've been thinking about doing a history based EPQ dissertation, probably on an area post-1900
I've thought about World War II, the atomic bombs on Japan, 9/11, the Titanic or even the Cold War as possible areas but have no idea what sort of questions I could make up as titles for these topics?
If anyone has any suggestions it would be very appreciated!!!!

I think you should do something on a topic that isn't taught in school. For mine, I did Opium wars because it's a dark time in British history, which I think really needs to be addressed and not swept under the carpet, so perhaps if you want you could explore colonialism and it's effects.

Hi !
I'm also in year 12 and starting an EPQ this year, my teacher said that we don't have to have a set question until later down the line. I think if you have a topic that you're interested in, just do some research on that and a question/title will come later. It might be worth checking with your school's EPQ leader when you need to solidify a question?
