Should European muslims be forcefully converted back into Christianity?
>>
>>1951918

Why? European muslims existed long before European Christians .
>>
So how much do you know about history in general? Or did you major in some specific period?

For example, off the top of your head, what can you say, about, I dunno, the year 999AD?
>>
>>1951925
What a fascinating thought, please elaborate.

Why the fuck did you major in history?

Go study something useful like engineering or welding.

>>1951925
haha what? Please explain

I'm a history major too. I choose this after I failed math. My country has a rule that if you fail one major you can either retry it again or choose another subject for free. So that's why I choose history. I may go into politics after I finish it.
>>
>>1952240
I feel like my history degree was a mistake. I absolutely enjoy the subject and I think the knowledge is valuable, but it seems like a degree that requires more degrees to become useful career-wise. I finally had to bite the bullet and go to grad school, but I live in Burgerland, so it ain't free.

I dropped out after 2 semesters because all that happened was 30 minute arguments of a liberal vs conservative arguing over what happened 1,200 years ago was right or wrong according to today's standards. The professor had no control over students and they would just go off on retarded rants the entire class that has no purpose in history class. I felt like I was taking a political science class.

I still study some specific courses related to Greek history, Christian history, Islamic history, etc. but being a history major must suck dick. Getting an accounting degree so I can make $60K a year doing work for 50% of the time I'm at work and shitpost the rest.

I'm also a history major OP, finishing up my last semester now.

Like >>1952286 said, the degree is fucking useless, the only point of it is to enable you to get into grad school to do something actually employable.
>>
>>1951925
Are you retarded or you have never pick up a book?
>>
>>1952286
This is also my experience as a britbong history grad.

>thinking degree choice actually matters unless it's a requirement for the job (ie architecture to be an architect)

It's more about what university you go to and what you're like as a person.

I graduated with a history degree from a top UK university and now I work for an oil company.

What is your area of study? Thinking thematically (e.g. political, social, military history?) and era-wise (antiquity, medieval ages, modern era?) and also geography (Europe? Rome? India? Ancient Egypt?)

Do greeks fall into the category of brown people or white generally speaking.

Physically I don't look white, however people say that because i'm greek I'm white. But I look like a slightly less hairy fucking muslim
