the history of asia and north and south america doesn't interest me at all. iv never gotten into studying ancient history but i could see myself eventually getting around to it. african history is a yawn for me also

i'm very eurocentric in my interests and love to learn about any time frame in it.

Von Ranke

The least interesting period of history for me is now. I suppose that is a contradiction as now is not the past. Everything that was the past interests me as I was not there but would have loved to witness it. This poem expresses my feelings and I reckon a good few of my fellow Historumites can relate to it :

Miniver Cheevy

by E.A. Robinson (1869 - 1935 )

Miniver Cheevy, child of scorn,
Grew lean while he assailed the seasons;
He wept that he was ever born,
And he had reasons.
Miniver loved the days of old
When swords were bright and steeds were prancing;
The vision of a warrior bold
Would set him dancing.
Miniver sighed for what was not,
And dreamed, and rested from his labors;
He dreamed of Thebes and Camelot,
And Priam's neighbors.
Minever mourned the ripe renown
That made so many a name so fragrant;
He mourned Romance, now on the town,
And Art, a vagrant.
Minever loved the Medici,
Albeit he had never seen one;
He would have sinned incessantly
Could he have been one.
Miniver cursed the commonplace
And eyed a khaki suit with loathing;
He missed the mediæval grace
Of iron clothing.
Miniver scorned the gold he sought,
But sore annoyed was he without it;
Miniver thought, and thought, and thought,
And thought about it.
Miniver Cheevy, born too late,
Scratched his head and kept on thinking;
Miniver coughed, and called it fate,
And kept on drinking.

Essentially 50's to the present. It resembles modern times too much.

Patton

I've tried, but Medieval history is incredibly boring to me. Reading up on that era, is reminiscent of my mothers soaps I had struggle with as a boy.

Belloc

The Cold War is probably the only thing that spices up post-1945 history, and mostly in regards to the non-Western world. Gender history has never been an interest of mine.

Wenge

Everything before 1607 except the Ming period in China.

RusEvo

I think we are opposites in this regard, you like developing the mysteries and solving them? I like everything to be well sourced!!

Kirialax

I like the poorly sourced periods. They add a lot to the mystery and are often understudied, which opens up lots of opportunity for future work.

The Ghost of Crazy Horse

I'd say anything after 1969, post Woodstock. The 60's grab my attention mostly from a musical point of view. The 80s-present I lived through, so I don't really care. The 70s, mostly just drug trafficking concerns me and again the music. Over all 1945-Present, maybe some bits and pieces in between.

Tercio

I find WW2 to be quite dull. Simply because I am covered in it's history by all the attention it gets, and unlike WW1 things are much more straightforward
