Are you stuck with your GCSE History coursework? You know, we are a bit surprised. History seems to be one of the most interesting subjects. This aspect helps many students to complete their projects successfully.

We just can guess that you are stuck because of lack of ideas on a topic for GCSE History coursework. It is more likely that you are confused a bit with that huge variety of issues that can be covered in GCSE History courseworks.

Well, this article is just what you need. We have a wonderful suggestion for you. Why not write your GCSE History coursework on one of the most significant periods in American history – Prohibition. Al Capone, gangsterism, moonshine or “Jackass brandy”, speakeasies are all issues for discussion in GCSE History coursework.

So, if you like to cover such topic in your GCSE History coursework, mind the following points:

* Introduce the events that led to the 18th Amendment and Prohibition;
* Give a general evaluation of that period in your GCSE History coursework;
* Present more details on Prohibition. Describe all highs and falls of Prohibition in your GCSE History coursework;
* Finish with the 21st Amendment that abolished Prohibition.


Do not forget that all assertions made in GCSE History coursework should be supported. Do you know how to support the statements introduced in your GCSE History coursework? Use figures.

For example, you want to say that drinking was not actually stopped. This claim can be supported with statistical data: 220,000 of speakeasies existed in 1933. If you want to show the positive effects of Prohibition, tell that 50 million litres of banned alcohol were annihilated.

We are sure that if you disclose this topic properly, your GCSE History courseworks will be perfect.
