My historical interests include:

• Naval warship shipbuilding from the Age of Sail to the Modern Era

  • Development of the 'Dreadnought' Battleship and its outcomes

• The Swedish Empire and Peter the Great

  • The impact of Russia modernizing culturally and militarily in the eighteenth century

• Dutch Colonialism

  • Dutch economics under the United Provinces and the role it played in colonialism

• The Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates

  • Effects of the Islamic Golden Age across the Globe

• Cultural and social effects of 20th century fascism

  • How fascism came to power in the past and how the same steps are being replicated in present day

I greatly enjoy all facets of history and one day I hope to inspire a love for the subject that my history teachers inspired in me.
