Elemo? Who is this? Edit: Bavarian socialist revolution. I guarantee nobody in your class has ever heard of it, so it should bring big points.
Do a Chinese revolution. I can all but guarentee no-one in your Western class [even the teacher] will have heard of it. Edit: Unless you have to do a speech. If that is so, choose another. I can all but guarentee that you will not be able to pronounce the names correctly.
This is true. Since your Teacher is probably going to ask you a question about it if your going to a fair AND getting an A, you may want to do something you wont sound like you know nothing about when you talk about it. Pronouncing the Chinese Emperor's name as something ridiculous will probably screw you over.
Last I checked revolutionary is any time of major social upheaval. So he could do Green, Digital, Industrial, Agricultural, ect.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_revolutions_and_rebellions What would you know, you could do one on the Tea Party movement.
Like the Warring States period?? That would actually be awesome, I myself only never heard of it, I don't know if it can be considered a revolution though.
The only ones with good translations are the ones that are commonly covered. Which, from what you said, would make the teacher deduct points. Its a pity. Depends on which one you choose. Shi Huangdi is pretty easy and it has some coverage. One advantage is that no-one will be able to adequately dispute your claim of how it is pronounced as long as it is obscure enough. Just watch out for the people in your class that actually speak the language. And a general speaking tip that applies to pronuciation: Just SOUND confident about how it is pronounced. That can go a long way when it comes to reports on obscure topics. Oh and a tip about handling others who speak the language: you can try saying that it is a different dialect than the one(s) that they speak. Just know that if you are WAY off from what they are saying, it probably won't fly. Probably. The Warring States period could be considered a series of wars of succession. So it SHOULD work. But information - particularly information in English - may be scant and then, there is the problem with pronuciation if they ask for a speech. Pronuciation correctly would probably nigh on impossible. Even though the dialects of China change slowly, typically only historians in Chinese history know how the names/words were pronounced in the original dialects when the periods happened. Particularly with the Warring States period which was quite some time ago. For a report, it would probably just be best to go with whatever the historians say it is.
This remembers me, isn't the Sengoku Jidai some kind of rebellion against the old Ashikaga Shogun?? or what about the Ikko-Ikki?? extremist buddhists FTW.
No the daimyo were all loyal to the emperor but they wanted the shogunate so it was more of a inward power struggle then an actual revolt. Buddhism was also apart of the culture of japan, I think Buddhism was just as revered as Shintoism.
