User blog comment:NefkaAlice/Has anyone actually read a history book for fun thanks to Hetalia?/@comment-216.81.12.174-20101002210522

Yes, I have. This year at school, when our Social Studies teacher handed us out our textbooks, I read everything about the Renaissance, American Revolution, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient China and a short paragraph about Jeanne D'Arc. Even when it wasn't the topic we were learning about yet. xD

I think I'm pretty much the only one who has taken a huge interest in history, now that I've watched Hetalia. My friends are always amused by my facial reactions when our teacher mentions a country or mentions a subject we'll be learning about later on in the year. At least 3 people in my class have watched the series before so, we're the only sane history nerds in our homeroom. :)
