I'm from Kazahstan. Have you heard of it?

Wow. I knew Kazaa and mp3's were popular, but I didn't know Kazaa bought a country! (j/k)

 

we're working on ancient civilizations like the chinese and the indians in my world history class, but i'm not really studying anything on my own right now.

 

We're at the beginning of the Two Party system with Jefferson and Adams.

 

the unofficial histories presented by modern conspiracy theorists..=)... after years of the school subjects i graduated by college and now feel free to ponder the other areas of our (hi)stories...

 

right know in school we're studying native americans, i think it's really interesting.

 

The Decline & Fall of The Roman Empire

 

Protestant Reformation. Just finished the Northern European Renaissance.

 

Folk songs of ENgland, Scotland Ireland and Wales...and the Scots Irish culture of Appalachia, through the music...

 

We're studying America during Jackson's presidency in US History, in Art history we're studying early China and in US Literature we're doing stuff about the Puritans.

 

I'm currently reading a book based on the Iranian revolution of the 70s, when Khomeini returned to Iran from exile in France and removed the Shah regime and Bakhtiar government.

 

At the moment Jesse Woodson James,He ROCKS

 

Last proper history paper I did was New Zealand Social history, but for fun I've been looking lately at a lot of Biblical History.

 

I think this was really kind of a turning point in modern history in a way-to me, it was really the beginning of modern Islamic fundamentalism, and it (the Iranian revolution) had an enormous impact on the whole rebirth-of-Islam phenomenon that we're seeing today.

 

the collapse of the british empire due to the rising interest in dental hygiene and dentures... actually the fall of the empire began at waterloo with the british soldiers removing dentures from the dead french soldiers... it is believed by many that it was a ploy of napolean to have his elite fighting forces die in battle for this effect

 

I would like to research more into what happened because I was reading a fictional story based upon real events, so does not hold facts etc, but it was interesting to read (WHIRLWIND by James Clavell).
I have a few Iranian friends though and have had a few discussions with them on the Iranian Revolution. I was particularly interested in their parents' opinions, whether they were pro-Khomeini or Pro-Shah and their reasons for leaving Iran etc.

Do you know of any books that I can read that actually tell the real-events?
