I was going to try impressing him by picking someone that was French (his wiffe is French and he's spent many years there), but....well....it's the French 

If you feel you have adequate mastery of the term "Would you like fries with that?", you can choose Inspector Clouseau.

It's an opiniated project right? So who cares who you pick? Just pick the easiest one to write about. I'd say Steve Jobs if you wanna go easy (read his biography and voila, A+).

Duh.

Einstein...... I find anyone thinking Tesla to be shocking.

Some of Einstein's theores and calculations are yet to be proven.
Hands down Tesla. Actually Edison, he ruined Tesla's work. Who knows what else Tesla would discover if butthole Edison didn't burn his laboratory?

I think Steve Jobs would be an F for failure to read the question properly titanic

 The Rothchilds have places in France,look closely at this family Josh,pick anyone of them and it will make a great study.


   However their "influences" go back to the 1500's so it might not suit the terms of your paper. Tesla however did most of his work in the 20th century dispite what some may say.He worked with Edison and Westinghouse and holds many patens,some of Westinghouse and Edison's patens rightfully belong to Tesla.

   Then there's the whole smeer campain that Edison put on to stop Tesla,some real horific things done!

Hitler, no doubt.
"Who do you believe was the most influential European of the 20th century, and why?"
It does not specify only positive influence, so if you only consider the absolute magnitude - Hitler. WWII was the pivotal event of the 20th century that still echoes strongly. Heck, without that ahole, we would not have this glorious game.

Which is why I went with Hitler in the first place.  It is so much easier to find stuff on him.  Which really helps when I have to have a certain amount of each kinds of sources

If I was marking it I'd only give a B to even the most perfect essay on hitler, so predictable. most teachers give credit for not boring them to death while they are marking ...

Try Jacque Cousteau, I believe he pioneered the rebreather, set many things in motion for underwater archeology, and discovered a great many little fishies.

Which is exactly why I'm trying to come up with someone entirely different.    I hate papers

Are we talking French now? About ten years ago I was invited to this big conference in London. The most beautiful woman I have ever seen worked there. She was from France, working in London. I have loved that memory ever since. I've also noticed since then that many French woman have a similar look. What can I say...
