The purpose of the research project is to teach you how to research and analyze a subject in history using primary and secondary sources and present your ideas in a coherent manner.   Choose an influential individual in European history and address the following questions in a 1000 word paper, excluding footnotes and bibliography.   Who was he or she? What were the major influences in his or her life?  What key ideas or influences did he or she develop?   What influence did this person have on subsequent history?   The individual’s influence on subsequent history should be the major focus of the paper.  This is not a biography but an analysis of an individual’s importance and influence in history.  Footnotes and bibliography are required. You are required to use at least two primary and five additional primary or secondary sources in your research and use and cite all of them in the footnotes.
