Webbo Posted 17 February 2017 Share Posted 17 February 2017 I think the 20th century would have to be the most interesting in history. Has there ever been so much change in just 100 years before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born in 1923, his generation saw the invention of everything that we take for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has there ever been so much change in just 100 years before? The most diverse, and Rapid developeMent in many fields and areas.Without doubt.., but what wll people be saying in 500-1000yrs.?? Not forgetting the unknown, undiscovered times in the history of ancients. Where many finds, show the maybes and thoughts, that many social/technical discovereries and developement were made, Then lost, disppeared and forgotten, somewhere in the mists of controversies, of time and denied disgarded History.

Trav Le Bleu Posted 17 February 2017 Share Posted 17 February 2017 Outside of the past two centuries, unless you were wealthy, or directly affected by an event, most of the momentous happenings in your lifetime would pass you by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 17 February 2017 Share Posted 17 February 2017 For me, my favourite bit of history is one of the most overlooked in our schools. From the start of the Dark Ages to the Acts of Union. How we actually came to be the United Kingdom. Crazy that after the Romans left our little island was home to stacks of self proclaimed princes and kings from three or four different language groups and cultures. I appreciate it's called the dark ages because we lack a lot of recorded history but even what we do know is more interesting than hours of learning about the industrial ****ing revolution.
