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?

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..

My nephew was stationed at Aviano. My brother and I went over and
spent 2 weeks at the time of the kid's 21st Bday.

I could live around there.
