Must-study History

[Flying Mullet]

If you had to pick a period or event (medival times, renaissance, ancient egyptians, World War I or II, the Roaring 20s, Industrial Revolution, etc...) in history to study in depth for a semester at school, what would you choose and why?

[Kirobaito]

European History from 1000-1500. So I guess Medieval Times. So many wars, yet in so little time.

[Agent Proto]

I'd choose the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression that follows it.

[Del Murder]

World War II. I am fascinated by that era. Another choice would be ancient Greece.

[Cid]

Yeah, WWII and the 30 years after.

*history major*

[Yamaneko]

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.

[eestlinc]

1960-70s.

[Bernhard]

Guiseppe Garibaldi's struggle for the unification of Italy around 1860.

[Strider]

I have to choose just one? Hmm.

My pick would be the American Civil War.

[escobert]

Well that's exactly what I'm goign to uni for I'm going to be studying Midievil Europe history.

[Evelia]

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.

[DocFrance]

Definitely World War I and world War II - talk about two wars that have shaped the world as we know it.

[Peegee]

The age of Ghengis Khan, whenever that was
