Here you can talk about anything you want about history!

I’d like to start this off with a question, what period in history interests you the most?
For me it’s hard to decide, all time periods interest me quite a bit. I guess if I had to chose I’d say from the renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment to the modern era. Although I also enjoy classical history as well

For me it's a split between middle ages and the world wars.

Hmm, its a very hard choice. I do quite like medieval history as well as the time period around the Crusade. Yet I also have a fancy for classical antiquity as well. I am well versed in the 20th century, but it isn't something I particularly love. The Age of Revolutions is interesting I think. But my favourite is late medieval to early modern.

Finally I've found my people.

Personally I am very interested in the Merovingian dynasty, a dynasty that reigned over France (or the Frankish kingdom at the time) between ≈481 (even if technically we can say that it started before) and 753

I don't really care about any king or dynasty from my country to be honest ; I am more interested in the latter subjects (post-1700) notably because this is the time where you start to see some improvements and some progress society-wise, I even did extra homework on the Lumières, they were scientists (etc.) who questioned something that at the time was one of the mere political concept, and by their struggles they made the world evolve. Not really an history guy so the more society-like and the more philosophical side completely wins it over the medieval concepts. Still a Grade 9 student, so maybe high school will teach me new things that will make my opinion evolve

Middle ages are very, very interesting, but the Cold War era gives a lot of insight into how things like nukes will affect the future (heck with it, the present, too) so I'm kinda crazy about both.

I believe that the fall of constantinopol in 1453 affected Lebron's legacy in a stupendous fashion

Personally, I'm really into 13th and 14th century Mongolia, the Muromachi period and the Spanish Empire. Honorable mentions are the Cold War, the French Revolution and the Qing Dynasty.

WOOW great comment , man the mongols are no joke , i know some mongols and they still have that conqueror mindset into them till this day , they are super underated , the french history is also something that i love ,

Guys like Napoleon And Charles De Gaulle man.... they dont make them how they used to anymore. these boys were a different breed.

Napoleon was a documented and certified midgett but he still is one of the greatest of all time .

he earned his spot with the hall of famers for sure

Funny you should mention that about the 'conqueror's mindset', once I was asked if I thought the Mongol Empire could come back, I laughed and said 'If it did, Father Chinggis would be proud that he united such a patriotic nation.'

My favourite history is when the ottomans ruled over Greece for 400 years it was a very scary time for Greeks but they persevered and built very remote villages in the mountains and a lot of Greeks survived

Yeah, even then I don't want to idolize any certain individuals, as everyone had their flaws. Father Chinggis united Mongolia, sure, but he was still a cruel warlord. It's just that with certain individuals the good outweighs the bad and vice versa.
