When I took World Civilizations I and II last year, the topics I found the most interesting were ancient civilizations and empires such as India, the Middle East, Egypt, and Greece; the post-Roman Byzantine empire; the age of European exploration and pre-Columbian Meso/South American civilizations; the Trans-Atlantic slave trade; 19th century imperialism and how that institution factored into World Wars I and II; and World War II. Can I just say I enjoyed pretty much the entire dual course?
Other topics I like to read about are African-American history and the Civil Rights Movement, the history of feminism and gay rights, and general 20th century American society.
