You can discuss certain scenarios, and their relevance, too. Discuss popular figures and their motives, goals, etc. History is always best discussed in context or relevance to issues.
For example colonialism and expansionism basically shaped the world today, but for the better? Discuss.
It's a rich section. I'm quite happy we have one now.

History is always fun! However I must warn that a huge amount of argument will come about regarding certain issues and historical facts, which is of course what being a historian is all about, collecting and analysing data and deciding which is most valuable, something I have been doing for a fare few years now.
Also we will see alot of arguments steaming from the way people have been taught or from the books they have read. I doubt that many people will take time to gather as much information as possible from various sources and give forward a balanced argument to support their view.
No, I predict a mass of people surfing to wikipedia and then back with little tidbits of information.
If you do I will know as I helped write alot of the WikiHistory pages, mostly on the Third Reich and that will almost certainly appear in a few threads.
Also a History VS forum does sound like a good idea as it could e fun to debate the historical relevance of one country/person/period to another.
I say go for it Raz it sounds like a good forum and I will be posting there for a dead cert! 😄
I've created the History Forum on a trial basis here: http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f97/
If things don't go to plan, I will just move the threads to the GDF.
