What do you find to be the most interesting period in history - GoFuckYourself.com

Sarah_Jayne · 10-11-2006, 12:32 PM

I am sure I am not the only one with an interest in history or that atleast watches the history channel. What period do you find the most interesting? A lot of my friends have a thing for the Victorian era and of course many find the world wars interesting. I have found I have a growing interest in the 1920's and the early 1950's simply with how the world we are in now was being slowly shaped.

escorpio · 10-11-2006, 12:33 PM

The 1960's. So much social change in a single decade.

he-fox · 10-11-2006, 12:34 PM

present. By far the most interesting

Sly · 10-11-2006, 12:36 PM

I like it all. It isn't so much a time period that I'm particularly interested in, its the happenings that led up to the big events. I find WWII extremely interesting, but I don't find it even half as interesting as what led to WWII throughout the whole world in every individual country.

The ancient Romans are always fun to hear about. It always puzzles me how they had such great technology and then for over 1000 years the advancement of technology just died.

spazlabz · 10-11-2006, 12:37 PM

The bronze age (I love ancient history)

So in summary, I like the politics that created history. :-)

scottybuzz · 10-11-2006, 12:45 PM

ww1 ww2 - without a doubt, but cold war was interesting too

Bozena X · 10-11-2006, 12:50 PM

Me too...I like the way society changes and what leads to it. Which I guess is why I got a sociology and politics degree. That sort of thing interests me more than dates and wars, etc. For example, one of the interesting things for me about the world wars is how it moved women into the workforce in the States and the UK.

rodney25 · 10-11-2006, 07:55 PM

It would be colonial expansion era. European countries traveling eastward and westward for more land. Thus, discovering those uncharted societies across the globe.

I love WWII. It was the greatest generation - on both sides. It was a time when people people were proud of their country and believed in their leaders even if it resulted in death.

WarChild · 10-11-2006, 08:28 PM

The Roman Empire during the time of Gaius Julius Caesar, roughly 100 BCE to 54 BCE

Yup, that is another era that helped to set up the political and social issues that are still showing up today.

fallenmuffin · 10-12-2006, 02:55 AM

1920s - 1940s (Best time ever in history... everything was new and amazing, World Wars, The Great Depression(which is the best thing to ever happen to America), so much more...)

Rome times, France revolution,Napoleon wars,Rome emipre,Japan Samurai times...

AnnaSucks · 10-12-2006, 07:07 AM

No period in particular, I'm mostly interested in "micro history", i.e. the way common people lived and how events affected their lives. I find little people far more interesting than big boys' games like wars.

LAJ · 10-12-2006, 08:05 AM

The Vietnam era... I'm fascinated by the social changes that went on from the mid 60s to the mid 70s...

TG Rebecca · 10-12-2006, 09:38 AM

i'm going to agree with the vietnam era.. i have always wished that i could have been the age that i am now, back in those days.. i think i would have had a blast.

ETCKon · 10-12-2006, 09:49 AM

How about Mahabharata era (8th and 9th centuries BC)....more than 74,000 verses plus long prose passages or some 1.8 million words in total (Copyright © wikipedia).....They also tested on the nuclear weapons (http://www.ancientx.com/nm/anmviewer.asp?a=60&z=1).......

aimeesweet · 10-12-2006, 09:54 AM

The Renaissance, the Elizabethan era, the Enlightenment...

After Shock Media · 10-12-2006, 10:01 AM

I would go with the second industrial revolution (1871–1914).
Though as far back as 1830 to 1850 would also be nice.

carol.prime · 10-12-2006, 10:08 AM

The Renaissance, The world wars and 911 --- it's not really fascinating but worth remembering coz it struck a primal terror in this generation. Not to mention the controversies behind it.
