Cultural and social history is more interesting than military and political history 80% of the time
>>18411947shit takeIt's all intertwined with each other
>>18411947I like religious and philosophical history tooOh wait, you mean pottery and textiles or some shit. Yeah, I don't care about that tbqh
I think it depends on the type of military history. Battles can get pretty repetitive but the history of warfare itself, tactics, technology, weapons.etc is insanely interesting
>>18411947How is social different from political? I mean we all know by social history you mean "women's rights in the aztec empire" and shit like that, how is that not political as well?
>>18412039Yeah to an extent I like grand strategy and diplomatic history but the history of thought and temperament is cool because its abstract
>>18412037No thats economic history, moron
that was Will Durant's aim btw he wanted to write about cultural shit and not just about wars
>>18411947way harder to make enemy posters mad using culture and social history vs "we genocided your men and raped your women"
