I want to learn about World War II . . . where do I start?

ancient_whispers @ancient_whispers (126) • United States 15 May 08

I would like to start studying World War II and I have no idea where to begin! I know almost nothing about the major battles. Can anyone recommend any particularly helpful websites? I would like to get an idea of the battles...

ancient_whispers Hi! Thanks for replying. Yes, it's a good idea to start by studying World War I and its consequences . . . I'll get right on it.

Dead Man's Chest

ancient_whispers @ancient_whispers (126) • United States 30 Nov 06

Did anybody see Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest? I liked the fighting scenes and the characters but I don't think it can compare to the original. What are your thoughts on Dead Man's Chest? What would you have done...

ancient_whispers I agree; not as good as the first, but still enjoyable. I can't wait for #3 either - it really makes you wonder how they're going to bring some of the characters back to life for the third part. Then again, I guess anything is possible for Captain Jack Sparrow...

tolerance of religions

ancient_whispers @ancient_whispers (126) • United States 1 Dec 06

Let's say a friend or family member that you've known for years tells you that they have a new religion. It's very different from yours. Do you continue to treat him/her the same as you did, or can't you reconcile the differences?...

1 response

ancient_whispers True ... I always thought it would be intriguing to have a friend with a different faith since we could talk about differences and get a bigger world view. I already enjoy studying about and celebrating cultures and religions different from my own.

Do you do genealogy?

golotomer @golotomer (68) • United States 27 Nov 06

I'm a big genealogy buff. Are you?

ancient_whispers I agree wholeheartedly; genealogy is an obsession for me and I *love* finding new ancestors. I feel close to each person; I just wish I could know what they all looked like!

one day in Paris

ancient_whispers @ancient_whispers (126) • United States 22 Nov 06

If you could spend only one day in Paris, what would you do? What attractions would you see? What would be one thing you *couldn't* miss?

5 responses

ancient_whispers I think besides visiting the Eiffel Tower, I would choose to see Notre Dame and take a cruise down the Seine. That sounds like such a neat thing to do. I didn't know you could go up in the Arc de Triomphe! I'll have to check into that.

history as a hobby

ancient_whispers @ancient_whispers (126) • United States 12 Nov 06

Does anyone think you are a bit eccentric for loving history so much? Are you so fascinated with studying the past that you wish you could live back then?

7 responses

ancient_whispers I agree 100%! The medieval era was always one of my favorite time periods to study. I like reading medieval fiction, but on a side note, nothing throws me out of the novel quicker than seeing a name that just doesn't sound medieval. Has this ever happened to...

ancient_whispers I agree; going to Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower is just *not* acceptable! Might as well go to Disney World and never see the Cinderella Castle! :-)

if you found out you had a twin . . .

ancient_whispers @ancient_whispers (126) • United States 16 Nov 06

If you discovered you had a twin brother or sister, what would you do? Would you contact him or her or would you be afraid to? What would you say to this person?

1 response

ancient_whispers It would be interesting to see how much a twin would resemble or act like you, but I think I would be afraid they would be *too* much like me and would want to start dressing alike, etc.!

how far have you traced your family history?

ancient_whispers @ancient_whispers (126) • United States 12 Nov 06

If you are interested in genealogy, how far back have you been able to go? Has anyone found ancestors in the Middle Ages or beyond?

2 responses

ancient_whispers I have some Celtic ancestry as well; I've always particularly loved Scotland and Ireland, and when I discovered these lines I finally knew why! Unfortunately I can't get past the 1700s or 1800s on any of my Scottish or Irish lines.

have you ever visited a battlefield from any war?

ancient_whispers @ancient_whispers (126) • United States 13 Nov 06

I have visited American Civil War battlefields. Has anyone visited any battlefields from any war?

ancient_whispers Agreed; it does help to have a relative connected with the site you are visiting, because it brings it a bit closer to home. My Civil War relative was only 17 when he was killed in battle so I can imagine what it would be like to stand where he fell.

ancient_whispers I stopped by the Wilderness, Chancellorsville, and Fredericksburg a few years ago but unfortunately didn't have a lot of time to explore. I have a relative who was killed at Spotsylvania in 1864, so I do wish I could have gone there.

Is your kitty going to be receiving any presents for Christmas, his or her birthday, etc.? I buy my furball a gift every Christmas :-)

ancient_whispers I have seen really adorable stockings shaped like fish; they don't come with treats, but are ready to fill. One of the filled stockings you mentioned is a great idea.
