Why I Like History
History has been my favorite class for many years. It has always interested me as both a subject to study and a subject to experience through visiting places and seeing things. History to me is like a book, a long story about human life.
What I Study
My favorite time period to study is the 20th century. I tend to focus on the First and Second world wars, the Korean war and the Vietnam war. My favorite thing during this time period to study is the evolution of technology, especially the evolution of the airplane. The 20th century is interesting because of all of the changes that occurred to the way of life of all of the people in the world.
