Depends on the region. In World History probably the Victorian Era.

>>1757776
Last few centuries BC are pretty cool, there are a lot of pretty well documented cultural clashes. I do like even older history too, but it too often gets to a "no one can tell what happened here" dead end, which is sometimes frustrating, though the various theories people come up with to fill the blanks are a nice read.

Are you trolling?
Rollo's son already had 50% of French admixture through his mom
William, seven generations (of interbreeding) later, may have had like 30% of Danish admixture left.

Nowdays, the few inhabitants of Nomandy who had an ancestror that lived there in the 1100s may have at most 0,05% of Danish admixture left

>>1758942
That's the nobility though. The same rules don't necessarily apply to the peasantry.

>>1758962
It mostly did in the case of the Normans
Very few Danish women moved there with them

The Interwar period doesn't get enough attention in my opinion, its a fascinating period of depression, hope, chaos, collapse, mourning, grief, and a lack of a sense of being at the "final stage of history" that democracy and communism and ultimately democracy monopolized (I'm democratic, but the idea that history from now on will just be the gradual transformation of the entire world to democracy is pretty boring) against a world that was unsure of itself, is simply fascinating, That it ends in a dramatic and saddening way with WW2, after the bright hopes at the start, just finishes it in making the Interwar one of the most tragic and haunting periods in history; there aren't many which counterpose such bright hopes and desires against such a saddening and depressing ending.

Instead people just care bout WW2, seeing it as something in of itself instead of as the summation of an era.

It seems American schools don't like to cover much of the interwar period besides the depression, FDR's new deal, and roaring twenties.

They don't teach much about the European tensions of the era or the brief German communist civil war in 1919 that ended with a crippled and depressed Weimar Republic, ripe for Hitler's anti-Semitic and anti-communist uprising as the public saw the communist factions led by Jewish people largely.

As a matter of fact, in American schools they don't teach any reason for the Third Reich's antisemitism other than that they were deemed inferior to the German people. Indeed the Germans did see themselves superior to the jews, but American teachings just leave it at that and don't delve into any of the serious grievances Germany had against Jewish communists and financiers.

I'm by no means a stormturd, but I was always confused as to why I was taught in school that Nazis hated Jews for no reason other than their perceived inferiority, much akin to Dubya Bush telling Americans that 9/11 happened simply because al queada hates our freedoms without giving any back story or insight into the grievances many middle eastern people had against the US at the time.

We get very watered-down teaching in American public schools. Universities aren't always much better, as well.

Where did you get that number from? Keep in mind that the Normans who conquered and settled England were from the noble class and had mostly Danish and Frankish blood.

>>1758962
The peasants were mostly Gallic untermensch ruled over by the Germanic Franks and Danes.

Logics?
Rollo's son had 50% of French admixture through his mom
All Norman nobles interbred with French nobles and William was born seven generations after Rollo's son
Do the maths

And please, stop trying to oppose the term "Frank" to the term "French" post-9th century
It only makes you pass for a cretin

Easy
Rollo and his vikings were given Normandy directly after that battle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Chartres_(911)

As you can imagine, they didnt go back to Denmark to bring a bunch of Nordic women with them, only the few they had brought with them for the raiding campaign were there.
Around 17,000 Danish men settled in Normandy, and 90% of those who created a family did with local women

1) From the French revolution to the outbreak of WW1.
