These topics seem a little more academic than say writing about pop culture. Ah! I feel insulted!! My historical specialisation!!! ;)
Both look interesting. I have no personal opinion on which you should choose though. Depends what you want to do with it, if that work would prepare you for later studies, or if it's just for fun (well, and to get a good grade too, I assume). I don't know. I know more of the first type, obviously. I'd really need to focus more on political/economic/military history someday... I'd have to know how the CPS really worked! Hm, reminds me a friend of mine had suggested to me an idea like this once. Oh, despair: so many ideas, so little opportunities, only one specialisation possible...
P.S. I like how you describe that socialist prof. Are you sure he's not just rigidly anal-retentive? Totalitarism explained through Freud. Win.
Edit: Typos, argh. Am not focussed. Need more sleep.
