European History from 1000-1500. So I guess Medieval Times. So many wars, yet in so little time.
I'd choose the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression that follows it. ;)
World War II. I am fascinated by that era. Another choice would be ancient Greece.
Yeah, WWII and the 30 years after.
*history major*
From Nicolas II rule to the fall of the Soviet Union. WW2 can go in there also since it had a direct affect on the Cold War. Vietnam, Iran-Contra, etc.
1960-70s.
Guiseppe Garibaldi's struggle for the unification of Italy around 1860.
I have to choose just one? Hmm.
My pick would be the American Civil War.
Well that's exactly what I'm goign to uni for :) I'm going to be studying Midievil Europe history.
The French Revolution. We studied it briefly in World History last semester, but I wish we had gone deeper into it. I was so interested that I went out and bought a big book about it and I've watched a few movies. I think that Maximilien Robespierre is one of the most interesting historical figures ever. =D

I'd probably go with the 1950's. Rock and roll was just beginning and the '50's had some of the best movies.
Definitely World War I and world War II - talk about two wars that have shaped the world as we know it.
The age of Ghengis Khan, whenever that was
