So far I remember did we learn from the "big bang" till nowadays. Although I was the most interested in world war I and II

Homo homini lupus ~ the human is a human, a wolf

Why is it you always seem to get taught the boring parts of history? We were never really taught about WW2, infact I doubt many people in my class know there was a war in the Far East and Africa!

At uni: Aritish history and American history since 1700, German history from Bismarck onwards. Out of personal interest: Vikings, early British, Vietnam. And if I have time I'll try and work on all those Asian/Eastern European nomad peoples.

As for the Industrial Revolution I have to disagree. I always found it fascinating, how such a sudden quantum leap could happen (industrial espionage, for one reason ). What always bored me to death was the French and all the following revolutions.

My life - my mind - my words - my opinion.

The history of the first Gremlin nation. What became of the Kniights of the Round Table, especially Lancelot and Tristan. the tail between the legs years of Mozes' 40years of illegal immigration. The battle of the gold spurs and the misterious lion.

Daar is de lente, daar is de zon
bijna, maar ik denk dat ze weldra zal komen.
De fallus impudicus staat al in bloei
En de blaadjes krijgen bomen.

en de klokken vertrekken naar Rome

Started with early and late stoneage, Egypts, the 30 years war, very much French Revolution (our French teacher was our History teacher ), WW I and II, Nationalsocialism, cold war, , European Union (I forgot nearly all about it), and in my superior Geman classes we learn about the middleage, renaissance, barock, enlightning, naturalism...

Ce n'est pas une pomme

Bücher sind gut oder schlecht geschrieben. Damit ist alles gesagt.

in school we started with the Neanderthals and ended with the re-union of germany (so we did almost everything interesting happening in europe)

in university I took some courses about greek and roman architecture and therefore we had to learn a lot about these times not only their architecture, because this is only a mirror of the environment and society.

If the primates that we came from had known that someday politicians would come out of the gene pool, they'd stayed up in the trees and written evolution off as a bad idea.

thats no fair. somebody actually got to study the big bang :

as far as we've gotten lets see:

IHS= Holocaust, Siddhartha, Apartheid, the Aborigines, US
history, Current state of Africa (Economics)= Economics, Eurasian history, US history, Middle East history.

The whole thing: Philippine History -> Asian History -> World History

I know it's not perfect, but that's life. Life is messy sometimes.

European history French revolution,renaissance etc..

whoever said that love lasts forever was completely dRuNk...!

i love my postcards to be written and stamped, NOT in envelope...

At University: Archaic and Classical Greek history (still studying); Roman history (Republic and Imperial) and Early Medieval history.

The Romans and Victorian era's are of particular interest to me

I'll always remember..

Mainly from the beginning of the 19th century in Germany to the end of the Second World War, including several happenings in Europe.

Each period of history has its own insterest but i espacially like XVIII and XIX centuries in Europe.

uhmmm... actually, all of it, from the prehistoric dawn of menkind to the latest historical events.

I like history but my favorite periods are US Colonial and WWII.

20th centry Russian History, American History and British.

when i was at school we did french revolution, germany, India, American history, south africa, russia and UN i loved history at school, still do

For my university entrance examination I had to study the Slavery in Northern America as well as the history of the pre-columbian American cultures (Maya, Aztecs, Inkas and others)

Haha the industrial revolution is pretty boring but there were some interesting things that went along with it. I am currently a history major but i really like to learn about european and russian history. My favorite time period is probably around the 16th century. In school we learned about Native Americans, Colonization of the Americas and Africa, Religion changes in Europe and the various revolutions: American, French, Russian. We also learned a lot about Cromwell and the different changes in England. Some very interesting stuff though.

I've studied history from Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Russia, Central Asia, a bit of South East Asia and a bit of China. My favorites are Russia, Central Asia, the Middle East and the European Middle Ages.

It is said human beings are complex. I say it's a complex challenge to be a human.

General parts of world and Dutch history. I can't remember that much anymore, because back then I found history really boring (and for some parts it still is).
And yes, the industrial revolution ins still boring.

We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.

In school: Prehistory, Egypt, Greek and Roman empire and from then on mainly European history till the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991

At uni: Polish history, Russian history, history of Byzantium, history of the Balkans and now here in Lithuania I took Modern Lithuanian history (1914-1991) and this semester I'm taking "History of the Jewish cultural life in Vilnius".

Happy 2008 to everyone!

wow jessie,are you aiming at being a historian? without historians we would have no known past! no,,,no sarcasm,if there is no one to write it down,its like it never happened...iksaaa!!!Vilna had a man known as a gaon,might be interesting to you in your studies,i/m sure he's on google...

I actually study Slavic philology and Eastern European region studies, so I have quite some history courses in my program. I also chose a minor that allows me to choose courses from the department of history, because I'm really interested in it. Not planning on becoming a real historian though.

Happy 2008 to everyone!

I'm currently in the midst of my GCSE History course. This course revolves around Modern World history, and involves Hitlers Rise To Power, The Rise Of Communist Russia, Britain during the war (coursework), Jack the Ripper (Coursework) and Super Power Relations; The Cold War.
I'm hoping to go on to do Ancient world history in college at AS level, and hopefully onto the A2 level afterwards.

During the past 14 years, pretty much all of it. Italian schools are mostly antiquate and boring, but I have to say they teach history pretty well here.

How can I believe in God when just last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of an electric typewriter? --Woody Allen

The history of the past few thousand years is nothing but a bunch of lies made up by people with little to do and lots of time to do it in. When we have people today denying events that happened only a few dozen years ago (i.e. the extermination of Jews) then how could we expect anything told about history to be accurate......or credible. History, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

I don't think that the industrial revolution was the most boring.For example due to industrial revolution,Germany stands a great economical status that created a effect for I & II world war.
Only Industrial Revolution was the main cause for I & II world war.

I actually take back what I said. The more I have learnt about it the more appealing it has become. and the idea of a small island being the most industrialised nation in the world is something to be proud of. But I am thankful I don't have to learn all those dates for my exams.
