I wish I had taken AP Capstones in high school, so this would be a great way to get introduced to it. I would be interested in righting a paper on the power of marriage in Europe with a specific stoplight on the Hapsburg dynasty.

The ideas from the French during this period amaze me. They lead the Enlightenment, fought for their rights in the French Revolution, and would not stop until they got exactly what they wanted. It's an excellent example of the people controlling the government and NOT the other way around.

Public History sounds like a really interesting class. Maybe the class could go on field trips to different museums! Atlanta has a lot of great museums and I would love to see them with a person who is educated in the matter. At the very least, This class could be a good way to meet people with a similar interest to me.

Specifically, the Ottoman Empire has always been one of the most interesting empires in the Middle East to me. They conquered the Roman Empire that had existed for thousands of years, they survived onslaught from all corners of their empire, yet still became the strongest power in Europe and the Middle East for HUNDREDS of years! /GettyImages-624913026-5b16b8683418c600370c85c9.jpg)

The idea of learning about western military warfare from the past fascinates me! Every era has it's different forms of warfare. From the mercenary based warfare of the Italian Wars in the 1500s, to the artillery and cavalry heavy battles of the 30 years years war, to the Civilized, round based battles of the Napoleonic wars, different kinds of military trends amaze me. I'd LOVE to take this class!

This is a question I've pondered ever since I've been interested in history. On an individual level, is living in a nation necessary for a happy life or even for innovation? I still don't know. I would be excited to find the answer!

I'm not sure if you noticed, but I avoided a lot of classes about American History. I've studied it all my life and have honestly lost all interest in it. Therefore, when I go to University, I would like to study things OUTSIDE of my comfort zone.

Modern history, just like ancient history, has a host of powerful and world altering figures that are super interesting to learn about, “From the Renaissance to The Modern Era, these last 500 years have been PACKED with interesting stories that I would LOVE to learn about!

This class seems like it would focus heavily on the Roman Republic and Empire, two things if been very interested in. From the early republic to the Fall of Constantinople, Roman history never ceases to tell powerful and interesting stories that we can still learn from today.

I absoultely LOVE Middle Eastern History. It's the birthplace of Islam, it had the most expansive scholar system in the world at the time, and managed to invent most of the thigns used to get Europe out of the dark ages. I find the whole region interesting. Before this, I had no idea GSU was famous for Middle Eastern History!

I absoultely LOVE Middle Eastern History. From Hamurabi to Saddam Hussien, I find the whole region interesting. Before this, I had no idea Columbus was famous for Middle Eastern History.

The Sheer Extent of Hapsburg rule in Europe in this period was almost inconceivable in scale today. The New World was discovered and plundered while Charles and his empire grew to the extreme heights dictated in the excerpt. He controlled an empire larger than his distant ancestor, Charlemagne, who was seen as the successor to the Western Roman Empire, and he styled his court as such. The fact that I hadn't heard of this empire for most of my life shocked me and its what got me into learning about World History. I want to teach other people of the amazing accomplishments people have made all over the world, not the Americanized version of history we all learn in school.
