In regards to the first one, I believe the IB rubric advises students to avoid topics about war and bloodshed.  For papers 1 and 2, all of the things you are asking about are very famous and should be easy enough to find resources for on your own, unless there is something specific you are looking for.  For papers 3 and 4(?) you will need to be more specific for what you are looking for, but they are also pretty well-known

Good methods to find sources are by looking for your topic on Google Books or Google Scholar, or by searching for them at your local library or their website, which often has online resources you may not otherwise have access to.
