Favourite Period of History?

I personally find 9/11 sadder thn I do Peral Harbour, only because it was so recent, and I remember watching it on TV during a school day. We were actually celebrating a students birthday at the time.... That was sad.
But I see what you mean by Pearl Harbour though, in the sense that it was very sad. It was all so sudden, and the saotries are all so heart-breaking! What do you think of the film, Pearl Harbour, as a remake/representation?

And I agree with you totally! There was a definite hygeine problem back in the 18th and 19th centuries, I dont really know why though. But to be honest, if you were to venture into the slums of East London in the early 1800's, you would find it far more dangerous, dirtier and generally aesthetically unpleasing than if you were to venture into a rich, lord's manor perhaps 5 blocks away.
The extremities of the era are astoundign aswell, poverty lived beside wealth in some cases.

But nevertheless, the best part of it is the Peninsular, Napoleonic and general European conflicts during the perios between about 1793 and 1830 ish. All very interesting!

Funnily enough, I was having a discussion with a friend of mine,who is interested in the Anglo-Saxon era of dominance, and when the Romans kind of invaded Britain, then left it to it's own purpose.
Even though they left the island, the Romans stil saw it as part of their Empire, and said to the Britons that even though they were still ruled by the biggest empire in the known world, they said that they had to defend themselves, because they had no garrisons to spare for occupation.
