The most important and interesting historical event would be the fall of the Roman Empire. I know basic, however I do believe that a lot of how the Roman Empire fell can still be applied today in both a political and cultural sense. For example, the lesson on how wealth inequality can help take down an entire empire.
ReplyDeleteMy name didn't work the first time.
DeleteI think WWI and WWII are the most important historical events because of how they reshaped the world and influenced modern geopolitics.
ReplyDeleteI believe that WW1 is the most interesting because it is the change between gunpowder, blades, and horsemen, to the modern way of war such as machine guns, bombs, planes, and highly advanced weaponry.
ReplyDeleteI believe that WW2 is the most interesting historical event in history. There was a big jump in weapon advancement, such as tanks, air warfare, and war tactics in general between WW1 and WW2. I believe this war has also affected the world the most.
ReplyDeleteIn my personal opinion, the flourishing of arts, literature, history, philosophy, science, and others during the period of Ancient Greek civilization is the most interesting and one of the most important periods of time. I find it really cool how the ideas and achievements of that society continue to influence our societies today.
ReplyDeleteOverall history is very fascinating because history is what makes us, us. Without history, we would be nothing.
ReplyDeleteI believe the Cold War was an especially important and interesting event in history due to its affect on how it shaped the world's geography, and changed how most people viewed warfare. With the new threat of atomic bombs, which could lead to a nuclear battle, the danger of war was more inescapable than ever. On top of this, animosity between nations was extremely high on account of it being immediately after WW2.
ReplyDeleteI personally think that the American Revolution is one of the most interesting topics to learn about in History. It was what birthed our great country and we still carry a similar "American" mindset to this day.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the Great Depression is one of the most interesting topics in history to lean about. The economic and social impacts that it had on the United States were undeniably significant and is still talked about throughout the country to this day.
