I'm thinking of starting a Presentation Series called Walk Through Europe. This year I'm learning some pretty advanced concept, and I could tell you almost exactly what happens between the Middle Ages to 1648. Presentations would include the One Hundred Years War, the Black Death, the Italian Renaissance, the Protestant Reformation (Dutch, English, and German), the Counter Reformation, the 30 Yrs War, the Age of Exploration, and more when I get there.
Do you think I should make these presentations?

I'd love to see it, just make sure the Reformation doesn't get salty.

I'd love to see it, just make sure the Reformation doesn't get salty. Although my personal opinions about the Protestant Reformation exist, I'm going to only give the time-period beliefs. (I.E. The selling of Indulgences will be highlighted in a negative light, as by the end of the Reformation everyone thought they were bad. But for stuff like the clergy and banned books, I will only explain them and say why the Protestants disliked them at the time.) In all of the presentations I do, I will make sure to not give an opinion in the matter, but I would challenge the reader to construct an opinion of their own based on the text I write. (Don't share the opinion necessarily.) |

I think that 4 votes for yes and 0 for no is at least enough for me to try and get it started. The first presentation will be on either the feudal system, the 100 Yrs War, or the Black Death. Let me know if you have a preference, and I will try and do that first.

My main worry was just that if you were either a Protestant or a Catholic (You need not share) you might be biased toward either/or (That's not a character judgement: It's just that generally people are biased towards one side or the other).

I doubt you will be I am one of them, but again I won't judge either because of it. Neither did something that bad, excepting indulgences. As for "super-Catholics" like Italy and Spain at the time, I plan on not mentioning them that much. Again, I will be focusing on the Dutch, English, and Germany, also France as they had a War involving it. |

Well, it seems great, and it will greatly help with my RPs as well, since I am a Korean and don't know European history that well.
