Im in a History 104 class (History of Contemporary Latin America), and I need help creating a research topic and research question for an assignment based on the Iran-Contra Affair.
This is NOT a full essay I only need help choosing a strong topic and writing a research question.
ASSIGNMENT DETAILS:
The topic must connect to the Iran-Contra Affair (1980s)
It MUST focus on Latin America
I have to choose ONE country (examples: Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, etc.)
I also need to connect it to a concept such as:
intervention
imperialism
revolution
human rights
communism/socialism
rebellion
The research question must:
Be a how or why question
Be specific and focused (not too broad)
Focus on causes, consequences, or significance
Be something I can support with sources later
IMPORTANT:
My professor wants a question that can be argued (not just descriptive)
It should challenge common interpretations or show a clear perspective
It should be narrow enough to research (not something too general like Cold War in Latin America)
WHAT I NEED:
23 strong topic ideas (include country + concept clearly)
23 matching research questions
Keep wording simple (college student level, not overly formal)
EXAMPLE FORMAT (do NOT copy, just structure):
Topic: U.S. intervention in Nicaragua during the 1980s
Research Question: How did U.S. intervention influence the outcome of the Contra War in Nicaragua?
If possible do which topic is the easiest to research.
Also if your willing to work with me on the whole assignment I needed this research question days ago just had no time but the rest of the assignment is due at different dates if you would want to work on it.
