    What area of history you're most interested in? A certain period? Nation? Individual? Event? Economy history? Military history? Religion history? Prehistory? etc..
    And no, please don't answer "All parts of history interest me equally". That's a boring answer :lol:

    The two parts of history I find most fascinating are probably Japanese history as well as "ancient" human history (Mesopotamia, ancient Creece, Egypt, etc.)

    Ancient history, i.e. classical history. This includes Greeks, Egyptians and Romans. I am also interested in the prehistoric times, which ought to count.

    I don't prefer a certain time period but I like to see how things fit and lead to each other in the long run and how history repeats itself if that makes any sense.
    I really like looking at revolutions and ancient knowledge( like how the Maya performed brain surgery) the most. (jup I know boring answer)

    I kinda hate the 19th and 20th century right now because I have to learn it up and down for graduation right now.

    Ancient/Prehistory and anything relating to the Greeks and Romans has always sparked my interest. I could spend hours just researching things relating to the Sumerians, Mesopotamia, and the Indus Valley. I swear, finding Crash Course revived my love of history.

    I also enjoy looking into the early history of older religions and mythology, and things relating to the history of the universe.

    Ooh, nice! That's actually pretty cool. Is there a certain period that intrigues you the most? I find the Greek and Roman period interesting, especially with ingenuous methods like the brazen bull.

    You I like

    I find John Green insufferable. Damn smug :lol: But many of his video's titles do interest me. At the moment I'm reading up Vietnamese history from the 16th century onward, when the role of the West was starting to get more prominent.

    I like all the answers, keep 'em coming :grin:

    I'm interested in the development of Christianity as a world religion and British political history.

    European diplomatic history (and political history as it relates to diplomatic history), Western legal history and postcolonial history are my best areas. I'm trying to become better versed in economic history as a discipline in its own right, rather than appended to other areas of history.
