What are the key reasons that made u interested in history?

Answer 1

Reality? The reason was the truth I thought and then I found myself cross referencing for the answers and inevitably found mistakes and many untruths. So I did an enormous amount of research and then became enthralled in the subject. For it is fascinating the twist the writers of history spin on some of the subjects. They love to color and cover. And it becomes fun a sort of detective game to find the discrepancies and out of it all sometimes you get satisfaction, from knowing. But we really don't know because history is the past and if we are not present then we really never know, but we then develop the faith after all the checks and balances it comes out to what we call reality.

Answer 2

When I was younger, I always thought that history was linear - in other words it was all factual and unchanging.

I now realise that the cliche "history is written by the winners" is very true and there are so many different interpretations that can be put on events that the permutations are almost unending.

History provides a never-ending source of fascination for me. Uncovering a new nugget of information is almost like going on a treasure hunt.

Answer 3

When I was still an elementary school student, at the age of 7, our class was taken to the school library and told to choose a book. I chose a book about General George Armstrong Custer.
To me it was, and still is, about choice. I remain devoted to the study of History because I was free to choose it then, and am still free to continue doing so now.

Answer 4

I live in a CIty that was founded in 1881--the same year my grandfather was born. My great grandmother was born the same yeay that Lincoln was assassinated and she was born in 1865. She and her husband opened the first Baptist church in a 50 mile radius of Abilene, texas. I could talk with my granmother until I was in eighth grade and my grandfather until I was 24. Both died in their mid 90;s and were great influences on my interest of history. They both lived the old west we read about and watch on TV

Answer 5

i am interested in knowing what stupid things people before me did, as well as the ingenious events that had occured. And perhaps, to continue the tradition of looking back such that when my present is already the one called past, somebody might also remember my time.

Answer 6

Mostly because im good at it, but I think alot had to do with that alot of the stuff I new originally wasn't true, so I wanted to know the truth.

Answer 7

Languages mostly. I speak Japanese and Mandarin (in Jap fluently, Mandarin...eh, so-so) and in learning those it's like picking up two additional sets of personalities. And with different personalities come different point of views that come with it.

Answer 8

I've aleays loved histroy, so I don't remember what exactly made me start. US history was my easiest class in middle school, and again in high school.

Answer 9

Probably my history teacher and the phrase
"if you don't learn..."
The current administration has not learned from this.
What a shame!

Answer 10

i found out everything they told me was a lie. pblptttt
