That's nuts. Generally, I gravitate towards philosophy. I tend to view history through that lens, so I often find myself learning history as it pertains to the zeitgeist of the cultures at the time. So much of WWII era was framed around philosophies, so I know way more about that period of time. I just had the basic introduction to WWI in college, and I've only occasionally picked up a book or documentary about the subject. It definitely has a lot of moving pieces. Which documentary are you watching. Sounds interesting.
