Last year I loved history. Our teacher read out segments from mein kampf to us, he would tell us why things happened and what effect they had (such as Germany invading poland). He would just generally be really involved in the lesson.
So basically, the level of interest I have is based on how involved the teacher is with the lesson. It could be the same with you, so your teacher may or may not be very good.
That's just the general mechanics of teaching, though.
The topic of this thread is not 'how to teach well', it is 'how to make history class more interesting'.
As most of you have pointed out, you can teach it better, but you can't make the topic 'more interesting' in se. That depends on you, how much you are interested in history. You can take some exclusive, exciting things out of the collection 'history', and teach that, but the collection 'history' can not be changed in se.

But subjects are not inherently more or less interesting than one another to begin with. Subject interest is determined by experience. A bad first experience makes something less interesting, while a good one makes it more interesting. The problem is not that history is inherently boring, but that early experiences with it are boring. This is true for any subject.
It's therefore fair to argue that how to teach well is relevant to how to make history class more interesting, as the interest in a subject is developed by experiences. Poor teachers result in poor engagement. The most interested student in history can still be bored during history class if the teacher is bad.
