Need help deciding on a world history paper topic

[ninjavanish]

I gotta go with Pirates, conquistadors, the colonization of the West Indies, the discovery of tobacco, it's cultivation and introduction to Europe (And eventually Colonial America/The U.S.) and the springboard that the tobacco trade became to the development of the economy of the Western Hemisphere and the lasting effects it had.Huge scope (Roughly dating from the 1600's to current.), but you can focus on something that you like, and maybe tell an interesting story while doing so.

I like this one..spain made more money from tobacco then they ever did from gold exploration. Tobacco practically built the US. Can even go into the history of taxation, bans, etc of tobacco that are not much unlike what we have today!
