Keep in mind that when you choose a topic
YOU NEED TO BE SPECIFIC AND
FOCUS YOUR RESEARCH.
You should also pick a topic that is significant in European history. For example, if you were thinking about doing a project on exploration you would need to decide on a specific topic in exploration to limit and focus your research ie.: the new technologies in navigation.
You may also choose a historical figure of importance, and it would be great to see a project done on women in European history.
