What about UK History is interesting?
ahhahahahahhahaha hmmm let's see I have a short list for you off the top of my head:

- The battle of 1066 - William the Conqueror defeats Harold of the Saxons

- Involvement in the Crusades - Richard the Lionhearted, plus Eleanor of Acquitaine's involvement with Henry VI

- King Henry VIII, who created the Anglican religion just so he could marry his mistress and divorce his wife

- Bloody Mary, or Mary Tudor, who persecuted a whole bunch of Protestants out of malice

- Queen Elizabeth, who ruled the Elizabethan Era, which by the way had Shakespeare and the defeat of the whole Spanish Armada, which created an English monopoly in the Americas

- The Victorian Era, which saw the British empire expand so far "the sun never set" upon it

- The creation of the Irish Republic, which split Ireland in two

- Industrial Revolution, which saw the emergence of capitalism and influenced the work of Marx

- Involvement in the WWI and WWII - if I can recall, for the first two years England pretty much had to hold on their own while Hitler tried to invade them until the US finally was kicked into gear at Pearl Harbor

- Plus the UK gave us writers such as Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf and J.R.R. Tolkien

----

So yeah, UK history is pretty interesting if you pay attention to it :mellow:

Actually Malaysia had greater trade connections with the Dutch, particularly in the 13-17th century when the Dutch had a huge monopoly across the East Indies. No one is really familiar with it, but there was a British AND a Dutch East Indian Trading Company, and the Dutch version was more popular and rich since they didn't force everyone to convert to Christianity. I think Hideyoshi Toyotomi was only willing to trade with the Dutch for the same reasons, and he persecuted a lot of Christians because he saw them as a threat to Japanese tradition.

But yup - the Japanese conquered and held Malaysia for a while during WWII until the US re-took the Pacific rim :)

(I'm working on a history major right now, if anyone is wondering why I'm talking so much :XD)

I find the lack of the Hundred Year War surprising in a list of British History posted on a Koei forum :whistle:

Should also be more Scottish History :ph43r:

Well... I think I haven't learn that chapter yet but "It's the brand new information.". So, yeah. Thank you for the more information. xD I'll keep that if my History come to that chapter. (Hopefully yes. Need to pass History on the big test.)

OMM: School now. x.x

I love the Tudors Era, especially the reign of Henry VIII, so much drama and executions and the fact that he disbanded from the RC church is just WIN lmao.

Elizabethan Era is by far the most interesting, it lasted for so long and theres lots to talk about. Only thing I hate is remembering important dates, theres so many! :kurokan:

I love History though! :D

Remember, Elizabeth I was killed just as many Catholics as Mary did Protestants. It just isnt heard about as much because being Catholic was a sort of Taboo so it wasnt considered too bad. Its often overshadowed by the many accomplishments Elizabeth had as a Queen which you mentioned.

Just though I'd add me two pence! :P

Yeah, memorizing dates is what trips me up. I'm learning Greek history right now, from Ancient Greece to Pre-WWII and learning dates back to back from BCE to CE is utterly FRUSTRATING :kurokan:

Like, there is a difference between 323 BCE, when Alexander the Great died, and 323 CE, when Constantine the Great became emperor of the entire Roman empire (which included Greece) DX

This is why I only did AS History and dropped out halfway through A2, there so much to learn and the fact that I was doing Philosophy and Ethics added more work!

I got an A for GCSE History and B for AS, nearly got an A though, only 2 marks off! To this day it still annoys me when I think of it :kurokan: lmao

Ah, history. So wonderful.

Which is why it bothered me when, during the brief time I took physics, the teacher basically said history is boring and learning it is unnecessary.

Funny how some of this has ended up with me listening to a song relating to European history :XD

Welp, here I am going for a history major AND trying to major in education as well so I can teach - and teaching here means I have to take some credits in Canadian history :kurokan:

Which isn't BAD - it's just that it's considerably harder to get interested in. Very considerably.
