        It’s… Uh… About girls in short school uniforms in tanks…and the girls are all very… Uh pretty in a, let’s say, stimulating way, but it’s not a problem because in reality they aren’t underage girls but five thousand year old dragons. They usually fight for way over two seasons per fight and yell everything they are doing loudly.
        Come on, you have to know that manga!

        In 5 sentences, explain the specific mindset that lead to the Franco-prussian waron the Prussian side and explain how this mindset shaped the Prussian culture.

        The Spitfire totally rocked World War II with its sleek design and superior agility, making it the ultimate aerial ace. Unlike the clunky Messerschmidt BF109, the Spitfire could outmaneuver its foes with ease, like a ninja in the sky. Its Rolls-Royce engine gave it the power to soar higher and faster, leaving the BF109 trailing in its wake. Plus, the Spitfire had style for days, with its iconic elliptical wings and badass British flair. When it comes to dogfights, the Spitfire was the undisputed champ, leaving the BF109 eating its dust every time.

    The Thirty Years’ War didn’t have tanks in it so it’s not to be considered a war. I also like to bring to your attention, that I’m a mod at askhistorian. So if you don’t agree with me, you will get banned.

    WW2 tanks and planes are cool as hell and interesting. The tank museum YouTube channel is amazing.

    Other facets of history are really interesting too though.

      Don’t get me started on the links between information technology and fashion. That shits crazy.

      Larger bodycount in similar conditions too, and not just when they cross the holocaust and deep throat it with both mouthes for a few hours.

    When I was in high school, the history teacher you got was like winning the lottery. One teacher showed war movies and had “fun” assignments related to that movie. The other teacher had written assignments almost every class.

    I got super lucky… He was a fantastic teacher. Last I heard, some students ratted on him and he had to change his curriculum.

    Fun fact: You know why WWII has been an incredibly prolific genre for history documentaries?

    Hours and hours of public domain footage taken by the U.S. military. All of the Nazi footage is also public domain.

    They make them because they’re as cheap to make as you could make a history documentary. And people eat them up anyway.

    That’s the kind of history enthusiast I was as a kid, but I outgrew it. I still find the history or warfare interesting, but there are so many other facets of history that are equally fascinating and a lot more relevant to our lives today.

      In high school I asked why tanks weren’t such a thing in Vietnam. And my Vietnam veteran teacher worked it around to how Ho Chi Minh was ignored by everyone except the Russians after World War 1. Seeing how all the lines came together to make that happen and then make the Vietnam war feel almost as inevitable as it was forlorn really gave me a sense of history.

      He was my math teacher. My history teacher literally put names and dates on a slide for us to copy.

              German history class is as much as a lottery as anywhere else.
              Didn’t really enjoy English class until my I got my last teacher for the remaining 3 years.
              Same for Maths: I did not enjoy it but she explained it so well I got a solid B in my finals.

              The following teachers were basically trash in comparison to motivating me.

              So in essence: It usually depnds on the teacher.

                Yeah, but american history classes are, um…

                So there’s this guy in american history. We teach he was a great general who had wooden teeth and couldnt tell a lie and chopped down a cherry tree (seems out of place). Was a general in the revolution (he won a single battle. Ambushed some drunk mercenaries on Christmas eve), and despite being the richest man in the country he never paid his soldiers. His teeth were not wooden; they were real human teeth, taken from the mouths of slaves. Living slaves.

        History as it’s taught in schools is awful. Even segments on WWII get reduced to nazis bad, holocaust bad, allies good then USSR went bad.

    in the west “history enthusiast” is simply the common euphemism for wehraboo. ask those people anything but military history (history of literature, architecture, philosophy etc) and they wont know shit. and even in their supposed field of expertise they will rather praise some stupid nazi wunderwaffen than to accept that the fascist menace rightfully lost.

    we liberated europe from fascism and they will never forgive us for it.
