Does anybody else in the world do reenactments?
Do Spaniards reenact the Spanish Civil War?
Do Frenchmen reenact the French Revolution?
The American Civil War is the only one I've heard of that has spawned this obsession/phenomenon/cottage industry (there may be others, I've just never heard of them). Even if there are war reenactors elsewhere in the world, I kind of doubt it's a phenomenon on the scale of what we have here, much less a thriving industry, not to mention a nearly full-time avocation for many folks.
Why is this? I'm just curious.
