Our users aren't here to do your homework for you, but they might be willing to help. Remember: AskHistorians helps those who help themselves. Don't just give us your essay/assignment topic and ask us for ideas. Do some research of your own, then come to us with questions about what you've learned. This is explained further in this [META] thread.

Here is a recent rehash of the policy, to help you understand it better.

As it stands your question is very loaded, which is against our rules. I suggest you read up on our homework policy, do some of your own research, and then return with any specific questions you may have. You can post them in a new thread. I have removed this one.
