Hell you're in luck. You can go to West Virginia right now and see that same type of shite.

I like Ancient Greece, Biblical history, Byzantine, and European and Middle Eastern history from about 600-1700.

I'm very interested in North Korea and the "Kim empire". I guess it's mainly because we know very little about the complete shitshow that goes on there, although it does seem more and more comes out, but at a slow pace.

Also, the middle east interest me. It's just so fricked up and I always wonder how it ever got to this point. Granted, I haven't done much research on it. I've actually done more on NK than the middle east.

If I'm choosing the U.S., I'd say it's WW2. Mainly bc my grandfather fought in that war and the few stories he told me, fascinated the hell out of me.

Have you watched John Adams?

Jerusalem, 33 AD

Witch trials in USA


Babylon with king Belshazzar for world.

Russian history from 1900 through 1959.

I've always been interested in the war of northern aggression the actual causes. The political polarization that factored into it. I see the same polarization today and I don't expect it to end well.

The polarization of the country was pretty much baked in from the very beginning. The only thing the settlers who landed in Massachusetts and the ones who landed in Virginia had in common was they both spoke english. Northern and Southern USA were two completely different cultures from day 1.
