I suggest you get the textbook and start reading.



If someone in here answers this - how will you learn anything?

You know, in the time it took you to put this up here, you probably could have found half the answers if you tried. Google is your friend. Also, I'm sure you've got a history textbook, and your teacher wouldn't give you homework without some way to find the answers. If you were really stuck on a question, I could see asking it here, but these are easy questions. I'll bet it'll take you 20 minutes tops to either Google the answers or find them in your textbook. Good luck!

Do you people really like history?! I absolutely hate it. The only thing I like about history is our teacher because he's really funny but we're getting a new teacher soon anyway. I just find it insanely boring. And yes, I prefer maths to history. All my friends are doing history for their exams, I seem to be the only one who isn't. I know some people might find it interesting, but I'm definitely not one of those people :)
