Well despite knowing more about history than your average person, i’m not near historian levels. And history is a monumental topic. I would have to look up nearly everything because I often question myself before replying unless I’m 100% sure, plus most of history is nuanced, but we rarely have an account of all sides even outside of war. Did you know Willy’s didn’t design the Jeep? It was designed by American Bantam but they only made a handful and didn’t get a contract to expand production, so they just handed it over to Ford and Willy’s. Bantam didn’t last much longer so there’s a lot about that deal that’s just lost. Even if it was only 80 years ago.
It’s simply a daunting task, even if it remains a relatively small community.
