Thesis

Hey guys I used the Thesis Generator. (Just to let you know)


Topic: How American Presidents Affected WWII
Stance: I'm still thinking about it, but I think I'm most likely going to write from a positive view
Rationale: I think they're works were overlooked, and that they should get more credit
Opposition: Although these Presidents helped America, they also caused great sufferings in Japan
