WHO I AM
My name is Daphne and I am an A Level student currently studying History, Politics, Spanish and Maths. History is my true passion - such that I endeavour to study it at university - which is what motivated me to write a blog about it. I have a particular passion for modern history involving wars and conflicts (with a slight emphasis on Greek history given that my family is from Greece) though I find all aspects of history fascinating and so plan to keep content on this blog fairly varied. I hope you enjoy reading about history as much as I enjoy writing about it and if you have any questions feel free to contact me either by email or Twitter.
