Most charming part of history?(for you)

[BlackPirate]

I like history but i mostly love the middle ages.Its not easy to say why.Perhaps because its a period that we know more things than the dark ages, yet it is a bit mysterious.Death was common, writing was not and people were pious

[Armenum]

I like the middle ages, but I enjoy the most the 17th and 18th century European history. I also enjoy the ideas that came out of Europe during the late 19th and early 20th century. Though I must say I haven't really been interested in the history of other parts of the world like middle east, africa, americas, and east asia.

Ah isn't this in the wrong part of the forum?

Anyway I used to only only be intereasted in ancient Greece and Rome, but then my interest expanded as I found out more about history till know I love all of history.

19th century and early 20th century, the Belle Epoque.

Medieval history and european history in the 17th and 18th century.

[SinerAthin]

The glory ages of Rome.

Why did it have to fall?! The world could be unified as a single nation, one solid power and we'd be many more years into the future!

[hellheaven1987]

Only interest about military history - which means as long as there is a war, I have to study it!!!

The rest of areas are just background study for the main study of military campaigns.

No we would not.Many inventions have been made to be one step ahead of enemies.

Lol, nonono. The fall of Rome was the best thing to ever happen for modern Europe, with it we would most like be many years behind in one of the most brutal and cruel kinds of worlds.

18th & 19th Centuries.

[★Bandiera Rossa☭]

Ancient Rome..and the Red Scares..

[Marie Louise von Preussen]

The period between 1500 and 1800 was undoubtely the most ripe and most intellectually and morally fulfilled period of Western history. Afterwards, 1800-1950 is good for material bigness and ambition. Post-war period is lame and filled with a cheap nihilism in both spiritual and concrete matters, a sign of petrification and senility above all.

1933 to 1942

1933 to 1942

Where are 1943, 1944 and 1945?? I thought those three years were most glorious for you Guderian??

Here Heinz is pictured in better days. Dashing across France, wind blowing through his military issue haircut only moments before. Oh for happier days.

Heinz has amazing genetics however, hasn't aged a bit. What's your secret? Suzanne Sumer's Thighmaster?

Interesting periods of history for me:
Late antiquity/ early medieval period. The time when the world as we know it was formed, and when the old one was destroyed. Disasters, mass migrations and collapsing empires all over the world.

The late medieval period in Europe. A desperate time of strange changes, which brought the prosperity of previous days to an end. It shows the drastic effects that climate change and epidemics can have on human society. If the dark ages were the birth of the modern world, this was puberty.

India, at practically any time. So many new, brilliant ideas and philosophies were emerging there. Buddhism, Sikhism, the Hindu reform movements, various forms of Sufism, the list goes on. India is a very wonderful and colourful place, which makes it's bloody history even more saddening.

The Mongol invasions. The Mongol hordes were definitely the greatest empire that the world has ever known. Only politics and lucky coincidences stopped them from marching all the way to the Rhine.

I think from 1789 until 1815 would have probably been the most interesting and exciting time to live in. I would have probably gone into the navy if I were around then.

I don't like what you're implying, sir.
