How knowledgeable are you about world history?

[strateguy632]

it is so vast! each country stretching back thousands of years! but i did well in school history and also i have read a lot. i probably know more broadly than "history- professors" in their limited time and place expertise.

i probably know more than most high school students. before you all forgot history.

but ever since wikipedia 'history keeps changing' lol. reference: book fahrenheit 451.

Fortunately, I'm old enough to have avoided the epidemic of revisionist history being foisted on the kids who attended school during the past few decades, so I'm at least somewhat informed.

[itss_lily]

somewhat informed but compares mamdani to 9/11

[FrodoSkywalker007]

@itss_lily I'm still waiting on an answer from you.
If I remember correctly, you claim the historical state or kingdom of Palestine had many leaders.

Care to name some?

[Billlewis]

@itss_lily. Ultimately, he could well turn out to be worse than 9-11 in the long run. 9-11 killed what, 3000 people? The number of people killed by Socialist regimes throughout history (keep in mind, Socialism has never, even once, worked) is exponentially more than that. Iran's theocratic government has already executed anywhere from 30,000 to 40,000 people this year alone; it's not my fault that the media won't cover it.

@Billlewis that lack of coverage is depressing. I have a friend in Tehran who was shot at.
I think much of this comes from Marxism. It's difficult for leftists to accept their perceived oppressed groups (Muslims, blacks, women etc) can be oppressors themselves.

[Billlewis]

Sadly, you're right. As Mark Twain once said, it's far easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled.

[Billlewis]

I actually lived in Tehran, in 1969/'70. Attended kindergarten and first grade. Nicest house we ever had, marble staircase, etc. They dug a swimming pool for us in five days. Things were a lot different over there back then.

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Oh, yes, I've heard. It's sad how far it's fallen

[BCRanger10]

Somewhat, but not as much as I would like to be.

[NathanDavis]

above the average education and casual enthusiast, level

[RavVid]

Reasonably well versed cause I like history.

[KostasKouvalis]

I'd say I know most of the basics and quite a few obscure things. My biggest issue is I rememvber events and people but not dates.

[MrChinaski]

Sketchy. I know enough to know I don't know a lot.

[Anonymous]

I am familiar with Darth who only lived for 48 hours until Frodo could thaw out...

[FrodoSkywalker007]

Frodo was indisposed.

[Twalli]

Well, I got a degree in it. Graduated with distinction.

[lilBigPotato]

Not at much as I should.

[exitseven]

I lived through a lot of it.

[loveyouoak]

World history doesn't interest me at all.

[Cidknee]

I'm fair. No buff, but decent.

[canamlusciouslad73]

Quite, plus I'm old.(Seventy-three.)

[Marshast]

Not much at all!

[jahaims]

Above average

[noohair]

More than most.
