This Year's Theme
This year’s theme for National History Day is Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History. You will need to interpret the topic you choose as a revolution (the overthrow of one government and its replacement with another, OR a sudden or momentous change in a situation brought about by an invention, a change in the economy, a social, cultural, religious movement, etc.) , a reaction (protests or actions taken in response to existing conditions, revolutions or reforms) or a reform (political, social economic or cultural changes intended to improve conditions but also keep the existing systems in place), OR, you could explain how it includes all three elements. In fact, one interesting way to interpret a topic would be to examine how the elements of revolution, reaction and reform work with and against each other and how the interplay between two or more of those elements influence the immediate outcome of an event and its long term historical impact. Further information on this theme can be found athttp://www.nhd.org/images/uploads/2012%20theme%20sheet.pdf .The following topics relate particularly well to the theme of Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History and can be researched locally through the resources shown in this guide.
