A large part of the fault for the First World War lays with Germany, and although the British and French Empires were hardly saint themselves it was for the better for Europe and mankind that Germany was defeated and Britain and France prevailed.
The Battle of Jutland was, in fact, a British victory and a German defeat in spite of the greater British losses. It may have been the decisive battle of the First World War.
Christianity didn't corrupt Rome. Rome corrupted Christianity. Christ overthrew Caesar, and then Christ became Caesar.
The Christianization of Europe was, in the long term, for the better but was often executed in wicked, unChristlike ways.
The Romans were not religiously tolerant. They were quite the opposite actually.
I'm fairly certain these opinions generally fall within the mainstream of historiography.
As for me, the only "controversial historical opinion" I have is that JFK was killed by the CIA. For being an assassination of a major world figure, there is way too much that is unclear, way too much lost evidence/documentation, way too many "coincedences," and way too many people involved in the investigation -- and people who may have had information not revealed to the public on the assassination -- that ended up dying or vanishing. If there's one conspiracy I will ever believe, it's that Kennedy was offed by the people who served him.
