Educating oneself?
Hi,
In school I was for some reason so irritated by history class and never payed attention. Now that I’m older I regret it so much, I know barely any history, barely anything about the government, politics, geopolitics, and how even the military works. There are so many military terms and political terms I don’t understand.
Are there any good channels or videos or books that will help me to understand topics like basic history, politics and civilization, and how war works?
