I’m an American who moved to Germany and it’s rough. I was a curious kid and enjoyed every subject except for history in school, so I retained a base level of knowledge in most of those subjects. I did not in history, and my dumb ass realized a couple of years ago that I wasn’t confusing them, there was both a Thirty Years’ War , and a Hundred Years’ War.

Anyway, I’ve been slowly educating myself about at least German history, and it’s a lot easier to get into it as an adult.
