23 and 24 for the history ask! We need more history on our timelines lol

Thank youuu 🥰🥰🥰

23. What country’s history do you know a lot about besides your own? Why and have you been there?

In school we barely glanced over Spanish history until our last year (when it was exclusively History of Spain), so I got to learn a lot about the history of Italy, France, the UK, Germany, and other European countries. Out of them, I would say the ones I know the most of are:

Italy: I also studied a lot of its art history and literature in Art History and World Literature class, and in uni I studied all of Rome, so overall I think it's the foreign country I know most about.

UK (precisely England): My school was 'bilingual' (I put it in quotation marks cause it really wasn't, it just had more English hours and that's it) and to fill up the quota one year we studied History of England in English class, I remember I loved the textbook cause it had all these drawings, and I still remember learning about William the Conqueror and stuff (we only studied about around that moment more or less I think, we never went past the Middle Ages).

USA: This is mainly thanks to the internet and media consumption tbh, I wanna learn more about the pre-colonization era tho.

Out of these ones I've only been to Italy!

24. What made you fall in love with history?

I think it was largely due to my History teachers, they always made the subject really enjoyable, especially my Art History and History of Spain teacher in my last year of high school, Leonardo, he was incredible and I owe him a lot.
