About The History Ace

The History Ace is all about helping to explain history in a simple and approachable way. I take history topics and relate them to the modern day.

When appropriate I give links within articles to good sources. These are sources like academic articles and primary sources. The goal is to provide the best possible answers to hopefully answerable questions.

My name is Nicklaus Bobertz and I shall endeavor to not suck.

About The Author

I have spent a significant chunk of my life writing and learning about history. Below you will find two sections. The first section is about the professional historian who makes his living from writing and reading all day. The second section is all about making me not sound like a robot.
