Thank you, it feels good to be able to add something positive and in a way people enjoy reading it. History is endlessly fascinating ... its just a pity it isn't presented more interestingly in school (I wasn't a fan, lol).
That has been one thing that struck me in a big way - the way borders and leadership could change so rapidly. Thinking about the sacrifices so many had made, and all that.
I was a history major in college and taught history for a few years, so you're talking to a dedicated audience :)
