Jaytalon Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hello, I'm sort of new to this website but I've been having some trouble forming my question for my extended essay. I know what I would like it to be about but I'm having a terrible time trying to turn it into a question. I would like my paper to be about how Hitler intended to go into WWII in 1945 and how that would've changed the outcome of the war had he been successful.Thank you for taking the time to read my post!

Siapi Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 While that sounds interesting, I think it might be tricky to do that for a History EE. A huge portion of our History EEs is marked on analysing facts and commentary about those facts and presenting a hypothesis. You have to be super careful, I think, in ensuring that you don't go down a path analysing 'what if' scenarios to the extreme. Ground yourself in saying that, certain events played a key role in the Allies winning the war, i.e., "To what extent did Event X result in the Allies winning WWII?" Then you can compare and contrast it with other factors and sort of weave in a narrative of how if Event X had not occurred, Hitler would have won the war. I do also think though that anything related to the World Wars is really overdone to death at this point when it comes to History EEs/IAs. But if this is what you want to do, then go for it. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
