Let me be perfectly honest here - I hated history class in high school. When you are 14 or so with hormones running amok, the last thing that could possibly interest you was history.
Before the history channel turned into a duck dynasty imitator however, suddenly history came alive.
There are many sad chapters of colonial European history, but Spain takes the cake in holding a special place as an unconscionably evil entity. In addition to carefully introducing diseases to the New World while they stole riches away, they also had some fun turning on their own right at home.
The Monty Python routines on the Spanish Inquisition would have made history interesting even to a 14-year old.
