my favouraites:

everything up to about 800AD (except in China and Japan which remains interesting and a few bits and bobs like Vandal Spain and the Mongolians) and then until the crusades, the ENGLISH CIVIL WAR (I am strongly anti-Cromwell that genocidal fanatic)) the general reneiscance ((in Europe)  I find that middle eastern history remains rather the same until the rise of the Ottomans (the Arabian reneiscance was considerably earlier which is why I'm not classing Ottomans as reneiscance Middle East) I enjoy napoleonic history and looking at imperialism. WW1 and 2 strike a little close to home so I tend to avoid those but I enjoy a bit of sociology so the Russian, French and Indian revolutions interesting (the American one wasn't really ideological it was mainly over the fact that the colonies had had it easy (nigh autonomy and basically no serious taxes) and then suddenly had to pay for their defence (of course I do see that "no taxation without represntation" was a problem) this sparked a load of riots because the locals saw themselves as English and if they had British taxes they deserved British rights (the Rights of An Englishman was one of the early demands) and therefore wantede 10% of the population to get the vote (yup 10% and at the time Britian was considered overly democratic)) as for the American civil war it only holds mild interest to me seeing that it isn't my country and British education refrains from mentioning that we supplied the south with ships.
