What eras, aspects, events etc. of history and politics apeal to y'all?

Just want to know so I can post some articles and tidbits on things that you people kinda sorta really don't care about, but really do. You dig?

Personally, I'd like to learn more about classical and medieval history.

I'd also like some thoughts on what rules should be materialized for this forum only, if any.

Regarding the history side of the forum....

Obviously, stuff on WW2, WW1, Vietnam, Korea, etc

Also it would be cool if you could keep on the look out for topics surrounding:

Falklands conflict
Holocaust
Somalia
Malaya War
South Africa


I'll post some good shit if I come across it too...

i wrote a paper on the Korean War in world politics class a few years ago. Would be nice to see if you have any other info on it, maybe from a soldier's perspective of it.
