Interesting is subjective. I doubt anyone has ever studied all of those countries, so who's to know? Only recent history has any real interest to me; all the "kings and queens" stuff is really dreary in my opinion. In that sense, I guess none of those really interest me that much.
The recent history of the Middle East I think is really fascinating, because it is still going on right now.
I find the Arab-Israeli Wars very interesting, and the relationship between Israel and it's neighbours, especially Egypt. The reasons why the involvement of the US and Russia in the region have allowed it to spiral out of control is very interesting. We can learn a lot by studying it. Afghanistan is a very interesting place as well, although I know less about it.
I find it good that because this history is so important right now, we can relate it to real life, which is more than can be said for anything from more than 200 years ago.
Which country has the most interesting history?
