History Day Topic HELP!?

Ok for those of you who don't know what history day it it's kind of like science fair but with history. Last year i made it to nationals. The theme was Triumph and Tragedy and I did my project on Marie Curie (Discovered Radiation) anyways this years theme is Conflict and Compromise and I have no clue what to do! They really like it when you do something on culture or religion but everything is open. Any ideas?

History Day Topic HELP!?bmw

Pope Leo I and Attila the Hun came to mind, as I read your question. Their story involves Conflict, Compromise, Culture and Religion.

In 452 Pope Leo I met Attila the Hun at Mincio, to persuade him not to sack Rome. The story of their meeting involves all the points you mention, as well as drama.

You could do the English Protestant Reformation. Depending on how much work you wanted to put in, you could start with Henry VIII and how his annulment of his marriages caused people to begin doubting the Divine Right of Kings. Somewhere around 72,000 people were executed for heresy/treason during Henry's reign, mostly because Henry's religious beliefs changed depending on who he was married to at the time. When his son Edward took over, Protestant ministers were in charge; then when Mary Tudor inherited the throne, the country was supposed to be Catholic, and then Elizabeth's reign brought in an age of tolerance. Elizabeth didn't care what religion her subjects followed as long as they were loyal to her. You could keep going with this theme and cover the English Civil War as well (I'm not sure how much space you have).

If you need something for American history, you could try the Civil Rights movement. There's a lot of conflict (the Freedom Riders, the nonviolent movement, Montgomery Bus Boycott) followed by compromises like school desegregation and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Oooh...what about the busing crisis in South Boston in the 1970s? Now there's conflict and compromise, even though the compromise maybe didn't turn out well for all (any?) sides. J. Anthony Lukas wrote a book called Common Ground about the whole conflict, its beginnings, and its aftermath.
The Depression and the Great Deal.
world war 1 and then the formation of LON ( league of nation )
