Also, he is passionate about WW2 history and wrote on Italy/Mussolini for his 4,000 word extended essay earlier this year.

His teacher wants something 'groundbreaking'. It could have happened anywhere in the world.

Iran-Contra
Tiananmen Square incident
Battle of Stalingrad
Kent State Shootings
Nobel Prize controversies
Cuban Missile crisis

Thanks in advance ladies for your help.
Now this might sound really silly but close your eyes and think about this topic...

How the tv show America's Funniest Home Videos has changed the way we document our lives and our families. I, personally, think that it was the precursor to Youtube. Our lives have not ever been the same since AFHV.

So...there ya have it. Missy's idea of a monumental thing that changed history. LOL!
