I have this Latin America Geography class in which I am required to pen a term paper. The topic is open, but is required to cover Latin America, the Caribbean or Central America/Mexico.

So far I have narrowed my list of possible topics down from about 20. I know there are some historians roaming this place, so I thought I'd "throw a rock at the night and hope it bleeds light". What do you guys think I should do?

Here are the remaining topics:

1) Rain Forest coffee production in Costa Rica
2) The Rise and Fall of Haiti
3) Peru Before the Incas
4) A History of Patagonia
5) History of Oil Production in Latin America

Right now I'm leaning toward doing The Rise and Fall of Haiti.

Any input is welcome. I've got until Wed to come up with the topic.

    1 or 5 would be my choice. But I love commodities.
    It wouldn't discuss commodities at all. Basically 1 would cover the processes and success and discuss the reasons for the success. 5 would be more of a historical overview and probably discuss the geographical reasons for oil being where it is. Then whether or not certain countries have been successful and why or why not.

    Yes, which would be a discussion about the commodities coffee and crude oil. :D

    Do the easiest one where you can find the most information on.

    Dude, you should do the slave trade and the Caribbean or the rise of Rum/Rum Runners/Pirates in what is now Puerto Rico where Bacardi is located.
    Some slag snagged Pirates and the rum trade. We're only allowed to have 1 pirate paper according to Roland.
