EE IN HISTORY

Recommended Posts

Hi so Im doing my EE in history and my topic is- To what extent can Margaret Thatcher's handling of the 1982 Falklands War be compared to Indira Gandhi's handling of the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War?

 

Im highly confused about how I should go about the structure of my essay, since I mailiny want to focus of Thatcher and Gandhi and just use the wars as a means of comparison.. thoughts anyone?

The question you've set forth sounds to me like you'd be discussing the tactics used by the two women to deal with those two wars. I'd probably choose 4 main tactics, and divide the EE as follows:

 

Intro

Tactic 1 Thatcher

Tactic 1 Gandhi

Tactic 2 Thatcher

Tactic 2 Gandhi

Tactic 3 Thatcher

Tactic 3 Gandhi

Tactic 4 Thatcher

Tactic 4 Gandhi

Conclusion

 

In other words, I'd divide it 'thematically' by tactic rather than dividing it by person. If 4 is too many, do 3. And as for focusing on Thatcher and Gandhi rather than the wars, I think you might need to rephrase your question to have the people rather than the 'handling' be the key noun.
