For me it has to be WWI, as cliche as it may be. A specific battle, however, has to be the Battle of Vimy Ridge. I'm Canadian and pretty patriotic, and the battle itself is an excellent example of ingenious tactics and rigorous training. For those of you unaware of it, have this wiki link.
The Mann:
The Battle of the Somme.
A few Mann fought in the battle. A few years ago, I went the the fields where the battle was fought. Such a beautiful place once covered in blood and bomb shells.
Those Mann live on in name on the Thiepval War Memorial.
Why am I sad now :C
C r o w:
Because war is sad, and WWI was stupidly sad.
Is food a happier topic to make questions about? Or music?
Guagadu:
That would depend on the music questioned about, some is very sad, and if we currently have the food questioned about or not. Either way, they most likely are happier topics.

Where else would my interest in history come from?
C r o w:
Crap, Sabaton are seriously making a lot of people get into history! I learned more about the 30 Years War hearing the album Carolus Rex than in an entire school year!
(Not counting the fact that my history teacher was a fukken commie so we entirely jumped over the 17th and 18th century just to talk about the Italian Porto-socialists and bloody Marx)
Ok, now that I see that many here know Sabaton, here's the question:
What is the most interesting historical fact you "learned" by listening Sabaton?
