I specialise in European History, am presently a History major with minors in German, English, and Philosophy. My main areas of focus are Germanic history (including Germany proper, Austria-Hungary, the various Germanic tribes, and the Norsemen) and Celtic history (specifically Irish poets, playwrights, and essayists, of which there is no shortage, and Scottish clan heraldry).
I'm new to contribution on Wikipedia; I'm still working out how to do stuff, but I am very interested in helping and contributing to the areas of German and European history.

I specialise in European History, am presently a History major with minors in German, English, and Philosophy. My main areas of focus are Germanic history (including Germany proper, Austria-Hungary, the various Germanic tribes, and the Norsemen) and Celtic history (specifically Irish poets, playwrights, and essayists, of which there is no shortage, and Scottish clan heraldry).
