Dina:
Yes, I understand why. Can you believe that we barely study Incan and even Mexico conquest?

Hate to break it to you, but most of us old worlders are decidedly mixed too ;) I definitely know Dutch and German ancestry (Dutch from all over the country, German from the Rhineland), and probably a few generations further to add UK and French/Belgian. Plus the remainders of Germany :)
Bad Alias:
Not surprised in the least. A few generations back, I had an ancestor who was a Dutch immigrant to England. People have always moved around, and if you start going back more than a couple of generations, you have a lot of ancestors. I just think it happens quicker and more thoroughly over here, but think that might be changing with modern travel technology.
Snark Knight:
--- Quote from: KurtinStGeorge on February 09, 2019, 09:54:49 AM ---Several years later my grandmother decided to she wanted to clear some space and she asked family members if they wanted any old books before she gave them to Goodwill or just threw them away. I picked out a large World Atlas mostly because it had a large number of great photos in it, but it also told a story because it was published in 1942. The map of most of Europe was one large Nazi flag. I don't remember if it was named "German Empire" or "Nazi Occupied Europe." There was an equally large Japanese Rising Sun flag spread out over a large part of the Pacific Ocean, South East Asia and China labeled "Japanese Empire." I knew a little about the Second World War, but seeing that book made it much more real for me. I think that Atlas made me want to learn more about history in general.

Even aside from the interest, that's probably got enough collector's value that it would have been a shame to just discard.
