I need a topic on world hostory between 1869 and 2000

[femurov]

1919 Chicago "Black" Sox.

I would skip the sports angle and focus on perhaps the most important unknown person in history.

But, maybe I'm just weird.

Shouldn't this be posted in the soccor forum? The NFL isn't really international.

 

[Brees#1]

1936 it is.

I cannot do that other one. That would be hard to do given the circumstances.

And to fishonatricycle, I am in college. And there is no sexy teacher at this school.

So I'm thinking about doing a sports topic. I need a person, event , or idea that impacted world history before 2000. Anything in sports that did? Was the 1994 winter olympics held in the US?



Typed too quick so I meant history not hostory.

1986 World Cup in Mexico.

1919 Chicago "Black" Sox.

Oh did that impact the world and not just the US?

By the way this is a research paper that requires 8-10 pages. It has to be written like a essay.

Not really sure, but I would think when you have the mob involved in major sports, you could put some sort of twist on it to relate it to the world.

Or maybe that soccer goalie that got killed after he let in a self goal.

Maybe how the first modern Olympics came to be in 1896?

 

[MileHigh64]

Back to back Super Bowl championships for the Denver Broncos in the late 90's. Might have been a few salary cap issues but that shit is pure essay paper gold!

 

[broncosmitty]

Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgays summit of Everest in 1953.


And later, their discovery and coverup of tYeti.

 

[SeizeTheCarp]

How about the boxing match between Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago? Talk about an event that united two world powers!

 

[darken65]

Jeez could you guys get with the program? The subject is world hostory between 1869 and 2000. My pick is heather locklear.

I hope you are not paying for that college. You are in the wrong school otherwise.....

Good thinking but i would do the 72 Olympics with the Munich Massacre. 11 Israeli Olympians were taken hostage and eventually killed. Or like Dude said the 36 Olympics held in Germany with American Jesse Ownes winning 4 Gold medals in front of Hitler

I was in Germany at the time, a kid of course. What sticks out in my memory was my father going on alert and being gone for a short bit. He was Army intel.

 

[Breed]

Miracle on Ice, 1980 Olympic Hockey? Muhammad Ali and his dodging the draft? Jackie Robinson?

He didn't dodge the draft, at least not in the way we would normally associate the term draft dodger. He more said fuck the draft in its neck.

 

[USCDoom]

You should do a report on how after MLB screwed the Expos in 1994 the Entire World turned to Utter Shit.

 

[Guy Incognito]

Christmas Truce soccer games in 1914.

 

[DHoey]

Write about teddy Roosevelt and the national park system being created.

Good luck. There is a lot of information regarding the 1936 Olympics. Hitler and Nazis had a much bigger goal in mind than just winning Olympic games
