Who here is interested in History?

If you are, please tell me why and your fave part of history.

Like I myself like the Classical ages aka Romans, Greeks and one of my fave things to learn about is the Roman conquest of Britain.

And If you are not tell us why. Eg I hate history it is boring because...

I love U.S. history. I just like knowing what happened in the past. World War II is probably my favorite topic.rockguy92

Military history is what I enjoy.Blu_Falcon37

Ah same here. I love learning about ancient armies and even modern armys. But the problem for me is the military history is changing. I love sword fighting and muskets in comparison to machine guns and missles. That is why I do not like to learn about the Gilf war etc, to many guns and missles and stuff.

I like history so much that it's my major. My favorite is European History, specifically from 1600 to 1900.supercubedude64

U.S. History without a doubt. In fact, I took the SAT Subject Test for it today.

World War II is also my favorite probably because it portrayed the dangerous potential of humanity.

Ah yes. I like European History. Especially the middle ages and the ancient world. My fave time peeriod in europe would have to be... 500bc to 1500ad.

I like world war 2 and U.S history. Especially the American Revolution, oh and the civil war as well.

My area of interest is Native American History.Boba_Fett_3710

Yea i enjoy history, like watching the documentaries on Military thoroughout history but in terms of studying history i enjoy the history of my own country an awful lot. Irish history from the War of independence, the partition, Civil war, Troubles as it is very interesting to know how your country was shaped :)RiseAgainst12

I agree. Irish history is very interesting, as they have usually been treated unfairly by the English. And they have many legends and myths.

Yep. I like Celtic history best.

Yes. I am interested in that as well. In the expansion did the Americans not promise the Native indians the land over the Missisipi river. Then they broke their promise and threw the indians out?.

I love history, at least up until the end of WWII. Ancient Rome (especially from the perspective of contemporary historians like Tacitus and Suetonius), pre-Meiji Japan, Russia, and Reformation-era Europe are especially interesting. I'm reading Lord Acton's history lectures right now, and I'm getting more out of it than I ever got from school.Cherokee_Jack

Ancient Rome is my overall faverite.

"They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they kept only one; they promised to take our land, and they did."

"The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient. The work of progress so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble. The life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope." General Robert E. LeeDalo12345

Very true. So who here is interested in the Roman army?

I study in history (well to become a history teacher in high school) so I'm VERY interested in history.

Latin America history, US history, biblical history, decolonization, 20th century. Well a bit of everything.

I love all history. Especially

20th century

American Civil War

18th Century

I am considering double majoring in History and Political Science.
