>look I dont fucking know just ask me about WWII and hitler

>>213120067 (OP)
WWII and Hitler define the modern era THOUGH. The rest is just lore for nerds or whatever

>>213120067 (OP)
You forgot to throw in bragging about knowing Roman history but being absolutely ignorant about literally any and all Roman history pre Julius Ceasar even the parts and people that lead into Julius Caesar.

ask me about soviet history and vietnam

I like
>Crusades
>Hundred Years War
>Napoleonic Wars
>Franco-Prussian War
>WW1
>WW2
That's about it
I've studied the Napoleonic wars and WW2 the most

>>213120067 (OP)
History started in WW2 and Hitler is the most important person who ever lived.

Isnt there basically nothing about mesoamerica outside of the spic conquest because all their records got burnt or it cant be decoded

>>213120067 (OP)
for me its rome, victorian england, early USA, and prehistory

>>213120067 (OP)

Most chuds usually know Roman history quite well because it's usually their second most beloved empire after 3rd Reich

>>213120067 (OP)
and the roman empire cant forget that

>>213121282
i think about it daily

I don't see chuds talking much about Israeli history either, despite obsessing over them.

I had a chud phase once, but never got into WWII and the Roman Empire stuff in terms of history

What other chud period are there? Crusades? Reconquista?

>>213120067 (OP)
yeah I'm a EU4 lore expert

>>213120122
With how often chuds say that Caesar just fought tribesmen while Hitler went against equally advanced enemies I am sure they know nothing about it.

I really like
>prehistory in general
>nordic bronze age
after that it just gets worse the closer you get to the modern day

do people really do this?
Even if you get into history through ww2, you'd want to know about why ww2 happened and you'd naturally travel backward to Napoleon, even if you don't get to the really ancient stuff

>history buff
wish I had this kind of autism
I'm more of a trivia kinda guy - ask me about the most random thing from any time period/civilization and I'll tell you
but if you ask me about the tax rates of the Neo-Assyrians or the battle tactics of the Diadochi, i'm lost

>>213120067 (OP)

>"Yeah dude I love history"
>Literally only talks about famous battles
>Wont stfu about Stalingrad
>"The Seminole Wars? Whats that?"


If the only thing about history you care about are the battles. Then you dont care about history. You just care about battles. And only the famous ones that have been done to death.

>>213120067 (OP)
i dont know shit about ww2 outside of balkan but even that is boring.

My niche is the petty bourgeoisie of 19th century serbia and early capitalism,karadjordjevic dynasty,dissidents in socialist yugoslavia and all the history regarding my small town from the ottomans to today.
I even published a series of 3 texts in a newspaper regarding the origins of all the statues in our town.

>>213120067 (OP)

The one thing I really only love about WW2 is the different factions and ideologies that were all fighting on the one continent over a period of time. You had Chinese warlords, fascists, imperial monarchs, liberal democracies, Totalitarian communists and Anarchists. And even the Russian Civil war before that was a bigger mess with a bunch of different crazy groups all declaring independence and fighting each other. Its far more interesting then the overall allies vs axis most people portray it as and its not something you really see today. Every country now is just a different version of gay liberal democracy and dictatorships that are too scared to call themselves dictatorships.

I also find internal politics of empires and countries way more interesting then outside wars. Like different factions inside the one nation.

>history buff, huh? name every single thing that ever happened

I know so little about history
>Mesopotamia
>Egypt
>Should know more about rome and greece
>Native Americans
>Chinese History
>Sea history
>Persia
>Eastern Europe
>Even Germany during the medieval ages
>American history is lacking a little
>Spain and stuff
>African stuff
>Sweden and Denmark i should know more about
>Italy, especially during late medieval and after are
AND SO MUCH MORE AAAAAAAHH IM GOING INSANE IM SO DUMB

I recently got into 30. Years war.
It's a clusterfuck really. Might take me years to actually get it
Hyperinflation from around 1619 to 1623 is fascinating. Everyone was minting shitty coins. Emperor, Czechs, comm9n criminals

>>213125412
EVEN MORE I DONT KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT I JUST KNOW HOW IT STARTED AND ENDED
And like what about all the countries that fought in
And i should know more about Bohemia and Switzerland
Im literally losing my mind im so retarded holy shit.

That's pretty cool

>>213125482
Grab 30 years war a tragedy of europe by wilson. Thick book. Might kill you if it falls on your head. Good shit

I read there an account from a student at one of the german universities. He was complainig that a scholariship that before the war allowed him to feed himself for a year couldn't even buy a pair of shoes

I also read that in Breslau price of bread rose 15x at the beggining of the war

kipper und wipper zeit must've been brutal.

>>213125614
30 years war unironically traumatized the country for centuries.
But like i have so much to read and learn about now. Im not a historian but id like to read so many books and stuff.
And also your country Poland I know not too much about the history of
I wanna be less retarded.
And like if i think i know much about a part of history theres always stuff thats missing.

>>213125571
my mom keeps them in the glass cupboard with the nice plates.
Its also a fun anecdote my friends use about me "le expert on pointless bullshit" is the riff.

>>213125708
Polish history can be broken down into smaller bits

Piast Dynasty - middle ages
Jagielonian Dynasty - renaissance
Elective monarchy (it's a mess) - baroque and early enlightenment
Partitioned between the neighbours (it's a mess) - everything up to ww1

>>213120067 (OP)
I don't know even that
Literally don't care, I just want sex with all the pussy there is, you can stick your knowledges in your anuses you fucking faggots

>>213123909
No they don't.

>>213125943
buy book
enjoy the autism
it should have almost more footnotes then text like pic related then you know its at least not utter shit like pop history books that have huge font and zero citations so the author can just spout whatever with no trail of inquiry to follow

local history is underrated. I live in the Rust Belt and learning about manufacturing history, company towns, labor conflicts etc is a lot of fun and completely alters the way you see your everyday surroundings
