First edit: 29th August, 2021: A minor factual correction on the Otsu Incident
I am quite a new user, and restrict myself to slight edits and corrections, especially on less well known or sourced articles and try to fix the mess that unfrequented pages often are.
Areas of Knowledge and Interest
[edit]History
[edit]I would not pretend to be anything more than an amateur learner, but I have a devoted interest and have spent a considerable amount of time in reading and researching the following topics:
- Napoleonic history and the French Revolutionary Wars
- The Long 19th century
- World War I
- Interwar period
- World War II
- The Cold War Period
"History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind." -Edward Gibbon
Yet an interesting register indeed.
Modern geopolitics
[edit]I am no political pundit, yet as much as I would like to claim to be a casual, unbiased observer, I do have my biases. However, I do not write or edit in anything that has not been verified by a reliable and authenticated range of multiple sources. I generally follow global political events, although I can comment on and give an inside view into South Asian politics too, but I tend to stay away due to a lack of verifiable native sources.
Science
[edit]There is little I can write about here since most pages have already been well covered and I have little more than a shallow understanding. I mostly do reading in this topic rather than writing.
