Which is correct: I am interested in American History or American history?

Answer 1

interested IN

Answer 2

You would write "American History" if referring to a specific class as in, "Next semester I'm taking American History 101." It's capitalized because "American History" is the title.

One would use "American history" when referring to the subject or proper noun such as:

"I am interested in learning more about American history."

In this case "American" is the proper noun, and therefore is capitalized.

Answer 3

In general, "history."

But it depends on the context. If you were deciding between two university courses, say "Biochemistry 101" and "American History 210," it would be proper to write, "I'm interested in American History."

Answer 4

If it is a book title, it's American History, if it is simply a statement, its American history.

Answer 5

if you're talking about an American History class you're taking, then its American History because its a specific class. if you're just talking in general, its American history.

Answer 6

when you mention pronouns like names and countries, musical instruments you capitalize the first letter. so I believe it should be "American history" but if you are using it in a title then it is "American History"

Answer 7

I don't think it's necessary to capitalize the word history unless it's in a title.

Answer 8

I think its American History, becuase it is a compound noun...

Answer 9
