Question: If you could go back in history and meet any historical figure, who would it be and why!?

You know, I'd love to know that too - have you been reading Philippa Gregory's novels!? LOL!. I love her books - I'm almost done with the Constant Princess!. It's funny because while I know how they all turn out since I've read a lot of Tudor history, I still find them to be absolutely enthralling!.

There are so many historical characters I'd like to meet!. I'd love to meet Henry VIII actually - I find him fascinating and a bit misunderstood!. He was a pretty good king if not the best husband!. I 'd love to meet his wives - all of them!. I'd love to meet Elizabeth I, his daughter, my favorite Tudor monarch and one of my heroes!. I'd love to meet Martin Luther - he was such an interesting person and the founder of my sect of Christianity - I'd love his opinion on religion today!. I'd love to meet Winston Churchill, whom I love to quote, and a brilliant statesman!. I'd like to meet Andrew Jackson and get his real opinions on certain issues!. I'd like to meet Henry Clay and ask why he kept running for president when he kept losing!.

I figure I'll stop there - sorry if I went overboard LOL!. But history is just full of fascinating people!. :)

Thera - I totally forgot about Voltaire!! He'd be quite a character to meet I'm sure!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd go back in time and meet my younger self (yes, im an historical figure ;) , and then!.!.!. um!.!.!. i dunno, could probably reate some paradox if i did!.

or i would go back and meet adolf hitler's art teacher!. I just recently read his book called mein campf, and hitler actuallyhad a passion for art, but he turned to politics when the head of some art school declined to enroll him!. So it would've been nice if I somehow changed that and hitler wouldve become some monet dude instead of some evil world domination guy!.

or!.!.!. I WOULD MEET GOD!!! if there as one, and say hi!. but then if i met him before he created earth, then i technically wouldn't exist, and oh, wth!. time travel is confusing!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

i would move to japan and telll them not to invade u!.s and focus on european countries!. germany lost the war becasue japan got americans involved if there would be no pearl harbor then roosevelt would not be able to help europeans becasue he would not have a good reason to convince america to get into warWww@QuestionHome@Com
