I loved history, learning about the Industrial Revolution was interesting because it was all around us. Learning how the Franco-Prussian sort of led to war led to WW1 was interesting.

Even more interesting would have been to learn how the Treaty of Versailles led to WW2, and to discover the reason why my twenty two year old Grandad had been killed fighting in Normandy, leaving a widow and my Mum, his unborn child.
