What do you like about this subject?  History is the most interesting subject anyone can study as simple as that. We are surrounded by it everywhere, it is part of our lives and should be cherished.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  You never stop learning, hopefully the questions I receive will further my knowledge.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  There are two sides to every story. It is possible that any historical event can be viewed in entirely opposing perspectives and yet both viewpoints can have a basis in fact, ie the IRA - freedom fighters or terrorists ?
