How to say "in general" in Japanese?


I want to say, "I like history in general." How would I word that in Japanese?
I can say, (Watashi wa) rekishi ga sukidesu, but I'm not sure how to say "in
general."




So by "in general" in this case you mean: you like all parts of history more
or less equally, not just one specific part or era? (There are other meanings
of "in general" such as "in most cases", so... just making sure)

In that case you can use the suffix ～全般 ( _zenpan_ ) to indicate the entirety
of something including all its parts:

> 私は歴史（学）全般が好きです。 _watashi wa rekishi(gaku) zenpan ga suki desu_

(my first thought was that you would need 学 to indicate liking the study of
history instead of liking "everything that happened in the past", but Google
searches appear to indicate otherwise...)
