History has always fascinated me. I got A's in the one year I went
to high school. I did not take it in college while studying physics.

Ideas, economics, invention exploded in the 19th, 20th, 21st centuries.
Sail boats that could cruise the world's oceans  to aircraft that can do the same
thing. Capitalism verses Communism. Dictatorship verses democracy.
All have been widely explored.  Half the population is controlled by
their emotions and the other half by logic and reason.

It is still a mystery to me why WW One started. Wars, I think, are controlled
by emotion.

The end of it was a emotional disaster in Germany and is why Hitler
came to power.

I am reading a 800 page  book called The Arms of Krupp 1587-1968.
By William Manchester Published in 1964.

Surprisingly a pretty good book on the history of the world.
Krupp was well known as the developer of high strength steel.

Critical to the development of mobile inventions such as rail roads
internal combustion engines and weapons. Kind of hard to read
as there is a lot of German words in it as well as English.
William likes to be a bit tricky on his sentence structure :-)
