What Part of History Are You Drawn To?

[ll74]

I enjoy learning about ancient Greek history. I even studied the ancient Greek language in college. I also love to read about Tudor England and WWII.

Greek history is fascinating

Making sense is something you should try for.

But they just tell me.... and Tucker looks.... so.. . Groovy?


And well that should... be good. Right?

 

[RachelWalsh]

FINE-- I often think about ancient Rome. They had the whole Mediterranean sea, and just took it for granted.


I think it would be awful to have lived in that time. Infant mortality and slavery were also part and parcel, but it doesn't make the concept less interesting, especially when Trump saved the whole empire from the goths!!!

I'm reading more about American history recently. I studied the settling of the American West at school but I don't know much between then and now about from snippets here and there

 

[Michael682]

WW2 to current seems to be my interest.

 

[DeluxAuto]

Not so much a period but ancient technology fascinates me. Star charts, roadways, alignment of buildings, etc.

 

[LLCox]

I run the gamut. All history is interesting to me. Currently it's all about American Indians especially the beginnings like the Anasazi. The Four Corners was a happening place a couple thousand years ago.

Colonial times, the creation of the constitution , the federalist papers, pre revolutionary war. The original 13 colonies.

If you have a chance, check out 1833.

If you have a chance, check out 1833.

Thanks for the recommendation

There is a book we were required to read in High School. Anatomy of a Revolution by Briton Crane. Of course...today it would probably be banned in Republican States. It should be required reading for every American. The signs then...are still valid today.

Vienna during the long 19th century. So many of the movements and ideas - both good and bad - that influence the world today sprang from that city at that time.

 

[RandyRebecca]

Spartacus and the Third Servile War against the Roman Republic in 73-71 BC.

The Chinese Revolution from the 1920s to 1950s.

I’m so busy fact checking and correcting the lying, gaslighting RWCJ “members” who are attempting to rewrite American history, that I don’t have time to truly indulge in the maaaaaany “parts of history” that interest me.

That ^ is just one more reason to dislike the Deplorables.

I’m FASCINATED by the Russian Revolution. Mainly because I’m fascinated by how governments fall…how they reach that tipping point where agitation becomes just high enough, the ties of interest and loyalty that support the regime become just weak enough, that inertia is overcome. It’s not an area I’m anywhere near expert in, but my impression is that Nicholas II inherited a throne with some serious weaknesses but nothing necessarily fatal…but was so disastrous a ruler he drove his support into the ground over the decade before the end came.

One thing I absolutely LOVE about the 1917 Russian Revolution, though, is that the Revolution itself that toppled the czarist government was an International Women’s Day protest that grew until it engulfed all St Petersburg

I love that small tidbit that so many people ignore. Thanks for bringing it up

Most history interests me. It was always my best subject in school. Probably my favorite era to learn about would be WWI and WWII and the years of the Great Depression. Well anything in that range really.

My husbands great grandad flew in the Second World War. His stories were great

That's great my grandpa served in the pacific and the other died in Normandy. My grandma had his dress uniform the flag she was given and his medals (a purple heart and bronze star) hung on the wall next to their wedding pictures. Sort of a visual lesson of a man and family legacy I never got to really know.

Yes tough times but it defined people too. I met him a couple of times at his retirement home. Randy even in his late 90’s

I have had a longtime interest in the Eastern campaigns of the American Civil War. My great grandfather was a Union soldier captured in Virginia and sent to the infamous Andersonville prison in Georgia. I wouldn’t be typing this if he hadn’t survived that hell.

American 20th century and particularly American Civil War.
