Most interesting period of history?

[Masada]

Funny, I initially did the same. But then I realized that all those agendas around 19th century history were what made it interesting - it shows that those past events are still very relevant to our time!

That's a nifty idea... study the agendas and motivations of the participants.

The house where Gavrilo Princip lived in Sarajevo was destroyed during the First World War. After the war, it became a museum in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Yugoslavia was conquered by Germany in 1941 and Sarajevo became part of fascist Croatia. The Croatian fascists destroyed the house again. The Yugoslav communists under Tito established a communist Yugoslavia in 1944. The house of Gavrilo Princip became a museum again and there was another museum dedicated to him within the city of Sarajevo. During the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, the house of Gavrilo Princip was destroyed a third time by the government; no attempts to rebuild it have yet been announced. The Gavrilo Princip museum has been turned into a museum dedicated to Archduke Ferdinand and the Habsburg monarchy.

Sweet, sweet irony.

The Future.

The Future.

If the old Chinese curse 'may you live in interesting times!' has any truth to it, I'd rather the future not be interesting.

The Future isn't history.

Any period of history is interesting for me, but especially around AD 1500 onwards, outside of Europe.

Western art history from mid 1500s to early 1900s.
European history (including Russia) from the early 1700's to present day.
US history from mid 1800s to today.

Middle Eastern History beginning with the Rise of Islam through the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate, Russian History from 1861-on, and the Roman Republic.

Not interested in the Crimean war?

Has more to do with the emancipation of the serfs. Cheezy's a self-described socialist.

I put a high interest in the period involving the first united German State (Das Deutsche Reich) from 1871 to 1914.
Of course I don't expect any non-German to do , but it involves so much tragedy and vain hope for the German people and yet plays a major role for the entire world history with contributing to the First World War: the primeval catastrophe, which should change the world for ever and set the course for the 20th century (also way beyond WWII).

For some reason Russia's use of "who" instead of "whom" annoys me, although the backwards letters and "pwning" seem fine.

The Soviet invasion of Finland was hilarious.

The backwards 'E' always annoys me. It should at least be a 'Э' or 'З'

Well, theres my stupid complaint for the day.

Personally i prefer history of kingdom of Serbia in 19. and start of 20. century (period from 1868. and 1918.)

Hmm . . . I was preoccupied by the use of modern (ie post-WWII) borders for pre-WWII Germany and Poland.

Better to be preoccupied than occupied.
