Hi, Meghan. Wow, it’s hard to pick my favorite part of history. Maybe the 1930’s and 1940’s.

Ah..i left out the favorite part in history due to all the excitement. I love reading about the mughals in India, the richness, the royalty, the women, the courts, everything. I also like reading about the freedom fighters in general. I like reading about the world war. Too many actually and doesn’t look like I’ll stop. So yeah, this is it for now

As a history student, I’m reasonably certain it’s against the law for me to pick any one favorite time. That being said, I’ve long been in love with the mid to late Victorian era, and the 1800s in general. There were so many interesting changes taking place so rapidly; it must have been so startling compared to the relative stability that preceded the Industrial Revolution. I know things change even more quickly now, but we’ve had a long time to get used to rapid innovation.

I’m also fascinated with the Tudors, due in part to their place in popular culture, and in part to this class I took my junior year of college about Tudor and Stuart England. My professor was so knowledgable, and he shared a ton of interesting anecdotes.

Really, European history in general interests me. I’m trying to branch out into more world history, but I confess it’s slow going sometimes.

I’ve posted about this contest on my blog, Reading and Ruminations. The specific entry can be found here.

Picking a favorite time period is hard for me. I just read about the 4th Crusades and that was a favorite. Now I’m reading about 1420 China and I’m liking that a lot. I have really enjoyed reading about Queen Elizabeth. There are so many interesting time periods – I just wish mine was longer so I can could more!

There are a lot to choose from, Genghis Khan and the Mongols, the Vikings, feudal Japan and more but if I’m choosing one I would have to go with Ancient Greece and Rome. There is something about the Spartans and Athenians and all those crazy Roman Emperors that fascinates me.

I really like really ancient history, like the Egyptians, Etruscans, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Aztecs, Mayans, etc. etc. etc. But I also read a lot about the British and French monarchies; coming from a country that obviously hasn’t had this government system I find everything about them fascinating.
