Reply To: History knowledge. How broad are your interests in your favourite period?

Ah, nice to see some scholars (professional or self-declared) among the crowd 🙂

I tend to have at least a passing interest in general topics regarding historical periods, but the period before, during and immediately after WW1 is my big passion including reading literature from the era, watching things about the clothes and food, reading newspapers and so on.

I think what makes it so interesting is that it truly is a transition period. It is at once both very modern and familiar to us, while also being in many ways a completely different world.
