Welcome to the Tangaroa College History Blog

"History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon."
-Napoleon Bonaparte

"'History," Stephen said, "is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.'"
-James Joyce

"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past."
-George Orwell

"History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it."
-Winston Churchill

Welcome to the Tangaroa College History blog. This is not an official resource of the school, but it is intended to be a source of information for students. As you can see, I don't take a lot of these pretentious quotes about history seriously. Check this out:

"History is both the story of how we got here and set of tools to help you think and make your way in the world. Nothing more, nothing less."
-Brent Ericson

See? Anybody can come up with this stuff. Instead of boring you, I would rather make this a useful resource. I am going to use this space on the internet to give students some useful links, articles and loads of ridiculous pictures. Hope you enjoy.
