Attention! Needing some help around here

[kamachiono.livejournal.com]

Ahh okay so I didn't come in with fanart but a question requesting for help.

I recently got into college and am in US History. (Alfred keeps running around in my head...)

ANYWAYS!

There's an extra project worth 50 points! That's like a lot, and history isn't my forte but I am going to try for it. We basically take an era and write a paper OR do something creative with it. I personally asked my Professor if I could make an animation or something and she totally agreed. I even asked which eras had the most nations involved....She listed many but rather that I look some on my own. Durr...

Ummm soo I wanted to make an animation using Hetalia!~~~~~
I'm lame, I know....

I just wanted to see if anyone would like to help me pick a specific era? I am bounded by the timeline of 1492-1865. I'm horrible with years so I don't know what happened when...I'll draw a gift if you want a bribe? OAO;;;;

And, of course, I would do the lovely copyright issues to the lovely mangaka~ And I would post the final stuff on here ahahaha...

So umm..Help please? owo;;;

I dunno, wouldn't the birth of the United States be the easiest to work with? It can be light-hearted or dark depending on how you take it using Alfred.

Or you can do the westward expansion. Oregon Trail using Alfred~!

Too bad you can't do up to the present day. Hippie!Alfred would've been funny. 8D

OOH. You should do the Seven Years' War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Years%27_War)!

The Salem witch trials? :D

How about the War of 1812 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812)? I remember my teacher calling it America's coming out party since winning that war was like a message to the other countries that the US could take care of itself.

There's the Civil War too although I'm not sure how that would work out, but it's a broad topic. 1850-1860s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_(1849%E2%80%931865)) had a lot of crazy stuff happening.

I think the civil war would be pretty awesome! For my US History project(which I'm...putting off kinda), I'm drawing a short 10 page manga. It's kinda funny so far, because America has a split personality ( the Union and the confederacy) and they don't agree about anything! So Kamachiono, you could probably take that approach...it's just a thought.
Or you could do Christopher Columbus and his discovering the New World...that would be interesting also.

Christopher Columbus founding the New World could actually be interesting since... wasn't Columbus Spanish but commissioned by Portugal? Or... someone? *history!fail*

Ohhh josh guys!! These suggestions are all seriously amazing!!

chinko_inkei : OMG OREGON America would be effing awesome, yet very depressing at the same time. Poor Alfred! ;^;

gileonnen : I was thinking sooo hard about that, it would be easy to find information and resources on that...I will really think hard about that suggestion though~

juls_times_2 : I actually tried asking her that but she didn't like that choice very much. She mainly wants some wars or something ._.;;

daftest : That's an amazing suggestion....Ooo I will totally think about that one as well...Thank you~

alex_hamilton1 : Ahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one being influenced by Hetalia in history projects ahahahaha! Hrmmm Unfortunately though I wouldn't like doing the Civil War so much...As a kid I was always shoved down my throat over that war..But man that's a great idea you had though ahahaha!! >3< Thank you!!

cavechan : I like the Columbus idea...But everyone I talked with wants to do the same subject since we are recently going over that OAO;;; And actually I believe Columbus was more associated with Italians(though not too positive on his origins) and was commissioned by the Spaniard King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Ahahaha I am also such a history fail too ._.;;

Oh thank you all so much for helping me come up with some ideas!~ It's really been very helpful for me actually. I can't wait to try and start on an uber cheap animation and crappy voice overs ahahaha! I wouldn't be able to do all the voices obviously...I'd probably ask anyone who would like to voice a country to do so if they pleased. If not, then I have tons of innocent friends >D;;; Ahahaha obviously I would give credit to extra voices ^^

Thank you alllll soooooo much! I seriously can not express enough how much your help means to me ;w;

You're lucky. At least in America, there happened lots of stuff in this timeline! Poor Switzerland was occupied with making cheese the whole time here. *laughs*

Ah well, I was going to suggest the war of 1812 too! It's an interesting one and not thaaat overused in history lessons.

Do 1812. On top of that, at some point you have to have Al in drag (as Dolly Madison), running out of the burning "White" House with Washington's portrait.
