I dig history. I teach it too. My favorites are US and European/African/native american although I have always enjoyed Asian history when I have time to study on it.
I love teaching the Civil War-it really gives me a chance to let the students explore socio-cultural issues pertaining to gender and race and class. Personally I find wars, particularly WWII and Vietnam, most interesting. Also very fond of all the stories behind great royal families-the intrigues and scandals.
