I thought I should post this in History, but reading the rules, it would seem that this place is more appropriate.
My history teacher asked me to build a presentation on a topic of choice for a "Scientific Communications Session" (that's the real title, but its really exaggerated; you don't need a PhD to participate - actually its aimed at high school students in their final years).
Because the XX century had little-to-no cover in all the history lessons I've had, I thought on focusing my activity around that century.
I was thinking of covering Cold War-Era Soviet technology like the Ekranoplan, but then again, I'd like to cover a real leftist subject in my presentation. Something that wasn't talked to death on mainstream channels.
Something that's both interesting and useful in aiding our goals; in enlightening the audience about capitalism and our class struggle.
What subject/event/operation/whatever would you recommend me to document myself and cover in my presentation ?
Also, please mention some trusted resources on the subject. I wouldn't want to misinform myself and the audience.
Thanks in advance!
