History

Its never really been my favorite subject. Last year we learned about ancient history which to me was not very interesting. I honestly didn't like learning about time periods so far back.

But. This year we are taking European History. We started off a little bit before the Reformation Era. It was interesting and all, but still not my favorite subject. Well last week we started learning about WWI and the causes, war strategies, treaties, and everlasting changes that went with it. This time of history is my absolute favorite. Obviously not because I like that so many people died. Of course not. But learning about the strategies, facts and stories behinds the wars are so intriguing  We have been watching so many documentaries that are so gripping. Today we started this documentary on the 1920's. SO interesting. If you have the 45 minutes and love to learn, then watch it. This documentary is part of a whole series that ABC's late Peter Jennings made about the whole 20th century. What a cool thing it is to have a whole century documented and analyzed. And especially such an interesting century.

There is my little rant about History. So loving it right now. Thanks you Dr. Simon for being the best history teacher ever.

Enjoy your Thursday
