Every year National History Day frames students鈥� research within a historical theme. The theme is chosen for the broad application to world, national or state history and is relevant to ancient history or to the more recent past. This year鈥檚 theme, 鈥淒ebate & Diplomacy: Successes, Failures, Consequences,鈥� provides an opportunity for students to develop multiple perspectives and understanding of historical content.
