Perhaps your minor in history didn't cover The Great War,
the Napoleonic Wars, or the Seven Year's War.


Look those up and then come back and discuss France's place
in world history.


My master's in History and I will be waiting.

Well Rome used to rule the known world. It hasn't translated
well into modern military or even diplomatic power for
Italy.


Yes, but they terrific coffee and very reasonably priced high
quality
restaurants. Not to mention Alfa Romeos and the ability to
look cool even when riding a motor scooter.


What else could you want?


Bertie


Beer


Beer in Italy, not so good..


Bertie


Wine, however, is superb.


Yeah, I love Italy. I get there a good bit and never tire of it.
Though the weather around Milan is a bit depressing this time of
year. And talk about history! It's everywhere..


Bertie


Yes, but do you have a minor in history? If not, hush yersef.


Hey, I watched Mr Peabody and Sherman... I is edjahmuhcated.

Bertie
