  • Help orange pick a paper topic II

    I'm taking a course called 20th century Latin American revolutions. I'd like to write my paper on the Cuban revolution, but it has to be somewhat specific. The paper will be between 10 and 15 pages in length.

    Any ideas?

    Write it about Che Guevara. The man who'd rather die standing than living on his knees.

      Actually, I've always wondered why the Batista govenment collapsed so quickly. I get the impression that one day, Castro was fighting in the sticks, and then the next day, he started a march on Havana, and the whole army and govenment collapsed and fled.

        Spec - that's still a little broad
        Zkribbler - Yes, and I believe most of his army was lost right in the beginning.

          Maybe this will help - the idea of the paper is to take a point and argue it, within the context of a 20th Century Latin American Revolution. I narrowed it to Cuba, now I need to narrow it to a point to argue.

                    Why don't you argue why they succeeded under Castro
                    when everyone else failed. (it wasn't the first revolt,by
                    any means)

                      why the revolution succeeded or why the country succeeded?

                          you have NO idea how much I'd like to do that But I'd rather do it on something I know less about. I've read Iran-Contra, Panama, and Nicaragua to death, and have recently touched up on my Mexican revolution. I know relatively little about the Cuban revolution (aside from the reasons it came about and the American aspect of things).

                              A little overanxious, aren't we?

                              If you're pressed for time, stick with what you know...
