What's everyone's favorite part (or topic) in history?

Mine's ancient civilizations -- probably Ancient Greece.

hoping · 2nd Sep 2008, 01:25 AM

Anceint Rome, Egypt, Greece, persia, Macadonia, Sparta, Britan, vikings, i know choose only one but i cant, if i had to choose only one it would be Ancient Rome.
also the second world war manily in Europe

2nd Sep 2008, 03:22 AM

- Modern History - German empire, 19th and 20th century europe, post-colonial africa

and yes i do like history, its my most favourite subject except when its done under the heel of "Australian History" (not the topic but the subject curriculum)

Danielle · 2nd Sep 2008, 03:39 AM

Period in between world wars

**Helen** · 2nd Sep 2008, 04:06 AM

Soviet Russia, I find it fascinating. Also, Victorian London, more specifically the Jack the Ripper cases, I'm an avid amateur Ripperologist, as is my mummy

Behling · 2nd Sep 2008, 04:32 AM

probably the world wars but we never talk about em much in class and I have not learned anything new about them from school in a while, we have a chapter or two at best for them.

**Lexington** · 2nd Sep 2008, 05:50 AM

I liked Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, the Middle Ages, and everything since World War II.

Gosh, really? We learn about them all the bloody time in British schools

Mind you, in the UAE we're not strictly allowed to learn about the Holocaust, but I went to the holocaust exhibition at the Imperial War Museum in London to find out for myself, and thankfully we had a very awesome history teacher who gave us a basic grounding of it ^_^

Malchik89 · 2nd Sep 2008, 08:25 AM

The World Wars piss me off, mainly because of the otrocities

My fav would have to be Japan's Feudal (Warring States) Era, Samurai fo sho

Jebs · 2nd Sep 2008, 08:27 AM

Crusades. Killing in the name of God... right.. I still love reading all about it. And when I was like 15 I was totally transfixed on the Roman Empire.

Swamp56 · 2nd Sep 2008, 08:28 AM

I like the Medieval Times, as well as the senteenth and eighteenth centuries

ccdd · 2nd Sep 2008, 09:21 AM

I like Roman history and also the middle ages. I like the Tudors and Stuarts too. But I like most historical periods!

2nd Sep 2008, 09:27 AM

Ancient Egypt is my passion, but many subject interest me. I like Nazi Germany, the world wars, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome and the disaster of Pompeii, The Romans, The Vikings and The Tudor period with Henry the Tart and his six wives =], i also like the Medieval times and the Victorian era.

Ooh, now that i look back, that covers quite alot of history lol.

Oh, and I liked doing the Cold War and all the topics that go with it

Yeah, we never really go in depth about anything unless the class is specifically about it
I would hate to not be able to learn about something but its really cool you were able to learn about it. Do a lot of people learn about it on their own in the UAE?

2nd Sep 2008, 04:06 PM

I love history. Everything from ancient times through colonization is my favorite. Everything from colonization onwards I'm not all that interested in. The older the better. My specialty is Ancient Egypt.

Daniel · 2nd Sep 2008, 04:48 PM

Greek culture and then European colonizations.

Daniel · 2nd Sep 2008, 04:51 PM

Oh yeah, my mother is a Global History teacher for my school and teaches the AP World History, and the AP European History classes.

I had her for a teacher. And have a chance to do independent study with her. I don't know if I should or not...

RobbIsFlyyy · 2nd Sep 2008, 05:09 PM
