Can anyone tell me a great historical figure(dead or alive)to write my AP world history paper on?

• Some one not too obvious, but had great importance, not only in their country, but has given influence to the whole world

• Answer:

  Not too Obvious but had great importance... hmmmm.... Some influential names Fulton Sheen Stephen Spielberg (His films added a lot to popular culture) Hillary Clinton Tony Blair Pope John Paul 2 Jacques Chirac Nelson Mandela Some infamous names that would make people take pause, but bear with me. Osama Bin Laden (Terrorist leader who changed world history, think of the change in American attitudes since 9-11, and in the Muslim world, where a lot of muslims are angry with his stance, but most Americans feel uncomfortable around Muslims as a result of Bin Laden's atrocities) Saddam Hussein (Iraq, the Middle East) Robert Mugabe (His anti-Western stance changed world history in that he made clear that African leaders are not always pro-Western. His stance on African Union politics. look up AU on Google) Most of these people are still alive, but a bonus of this is that you can still see world history in the making. good luck.
