What is the one event in history you're obsessed with and can't stop researching?
Currently I'm too busy to get obsessed with any historic event, but one that has captured my interest lately...isn't one. It's three:
- the Assyrian Genocide
- the Greek Genocide
- the Armenian Genocide
The above atrocities were perpetrated by the last of the Ottomans & the "Young Turk" regime of Mustafa Kemal...that is, the last Muslim empire* & its modern successor.
*the last legit one, that is. There was the Islamic State (ISIS) of Syria & eastern Iraq, but most governments didn't consider it a legitimate nation-state.
@slowdecline48
Got it 👍🏻
our current events are too captivating right now 😭

@AbigailListener7Cups
Right??? lol
@AbigailListener7Cups Current but not unique...or truly new. Russia has been expansionary & paranoid toward European powers for at least four centuries now. Gaza has been fought over/on by various powers ever since the old Israelite kingdom split into Israel & Judah, & then was taken by the Assyrians...ditto for Syria.

Roman tactics, politics and inventions, Greek armor and tactics, medieval weapons and armor, Japanese blacksmithing techniques.
@7Bear7 Yeah...I feel like Epaminondas doesn't get enough credit as a general. For his time & place, he was quite innovative.
@slowdecline48
He definitely doesn't get enough credit
@7Bear7
Intriguing mix!
The Holocaust
@jesusredeemedme2425
Mhm, I remember reading that in my history class back in school.
Not enough people know about it.
@jesusredeemedme2425 that's right.
The Dancing Plague of 1518
That sounds intriguing, do tell :)
@jesusredeemedme2425 Historians think the cause was mass hysteria, ergot poisoning, or both. I find it interesting because nobody knows what truly caused it. And it spread all over Europe.

Yooo I have heard of it it's hilarious and sad at the same time!!!!!!
@sunnywaters6321
Hearing that for the first time 😯
@trueconfidant123
that a hard one but for us it most likely the history of what happened to native Americans. we love like the pow wowS and other things related. the history of them is veru interacting to us. it a time in past that should not have happened in how they was treated.
