hello guys! I started IB this year and i am thinking about doing my EE about latin america, but i have no ideas about what topic should i write about...

HELP! I find Che Guevara to be one of the most interesting figures in the Latin American history, and I would like to focus my Internal Assesment on him. The history department at my school did a trip to Cuba this year (which I got the opportunity to go to). In Cuba I got to know the stories behind Castro, the Revolution and Che in much more detail and a completely different perspective. I bought the biography of Che written by Fidel Castro himself, which I believe is a good (very biased) source for my IA. However, I am having difficulties to find a good question for it. I don't know what to

Hi, I know I'm starting my EE late (rough draft is due this Friday ) (I'm fine not having my draft turned in on time, I write fast and I write research papers pretty well once I know what I'm doing) and I'm having trouble narrowing down a research question. I've always been very interested in the Chilean coup, US involvement, Pinochet's reign (benefits and injuries) and international denial of Pinochet's violation of human rights during his time in power. I feel like if I try to undertake all of those tasks my essay will end up too narrative. Should I pick one and try to find opposing sides:

Well I just wanted to bring up a topic of the recent talk of America and Cuba restoring diplomatic relations with each other after half a century. Based on what the media tells us, I personally, see that - Latin Americans all around are quite joyful in this news. - The lifting of the trade embargo will definitely boost their economy. - Republicans in Congress do not at all support President Obama. They still see Cuba as a non-democratic nation and do not support the Castro regime. - This

Hi, So I was just wondering if counterarguments are required or merely suggested in EE's, specifically for history? My EE is a compare/contrast essay of why Che Guevara's revolutionary efforts were successful in Cuba but a failure in Bolivia. So would this require a counterargument? i.e he was unsuccessful in Cuba yet successful in Bolivia? Because that would be quite difficult to argue...

So I've been assigned a comparison paper on two Latin American independence movements. I have chosen the Brazilian and Mexican independence movements. Basically, the conceptual areas this paper needs to address are (not necessarily in this order): background information on the movement, causes which led to the movement (bit redundant there, but those are my teacher's words, not mine...), outcome of the movement, and which of the two revolutionary movements was most successful in terms of its original rationale and/or purpose. With this in mind, I was hoping to get some advice on the structurin
