What percentage of the public was actually in favour of the revolution and how many actually took up arms?

I understand it's a surfactant and helps physically clean things, but surely there were alternatives with a much more straightforward production process. Soap seems like such an oddly specific substance, yet it appears many civilizations independently settled on its wide use. Furthermore, the fact that it also has fantastic antimicrobial properties must count as one of the most serendipitous coincidences for public health.

I want to separate myth from evidence, and get at what we know, what we think, and what we can prove. I am considering writing a novel set in the Sengoku/Warring States period (1467 to 1615) and want some better information on shinobi clans in Iga and Koga (and other areas and groups), and their later relationship with the Tokugawa Shogunate. Methods, means, philosophy, that is what I am interested in. I don't want it to devolve into an 80s ninja movie or kabuki theatre. I would appreciate any help.

I also heard of Edo period ninja novels - were any ever translated?

For example, how were they gotten in and out of cities - could they fit through city gates? If a force in the 30 Years War was besieged in a city, where did they keep their pikes when behind the walls, as I imagine they couldn't exactly take them into a barracks with them? And for manufacturing, were pikes created out of a single piece of wood, or could pikes be made by fitting several shorter shafts together somehow? Were single trees used to make a single pike, or could a large trunk feasibly have several cut out of it? Just in general I'm curious about a lot of aspects about the day to day aspect of caring for a pike. Such a large weapon surely had to have some kind of specialized routine for keeping it in working condition.

One of the most recognizable pieces of Japan's WWII campaign is the Japanese Zero plane, known for it's speed and superior technology, however at the Battle of the Philippine Sea in 1944, the U.S. forces shot down 350 Japanese planes in aerial combat while only losing 30 themselves. At what point did the U.S. technology advance past that of the Japanese?

Currently working on a college project on the English Working class from abt 1890 to 1950. I'm fairly early in my research progress and have gathered 6 or 7 secondary resources(some of which I'm not going to use:) E. P. Thompson, The making of the English working class. John Maynard Keynes, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money. Winston S. Churchill, History of the English Speaking Peoples Vol. IV: The Great Democracies. Thomas Piketty, Capital an Ideology. Jonathan Rose, The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes. John M. Mackenzie, Imperialism and Popular Culture (Studies in Imperialism.) Karl Polanyi, The Great Transformation: The Political and Economic Origins of Our Time. Partha Sarathi Gupta, Imperialism and the British Labour Movement, 1914-1964.

What I'm looking for now is some primary resources: art, images, texts, or otherwise.

I've been researching into the Meiji Restoration recently out of curiosity from some shows I've watched, but I'm just surprised at how fast they were able to modernise, and actually in a sense, 'catch up the western powers.'

How did it all happen so quickly, and how come everyone just agreed to live that lifestyle even though a few decades prior it was just war-torn.

If any of the things I've said is inaccurate please correct me aha

While I may be wrong I thought that the discovery of the Holocaust would be only after the Allies won the war in Europe and after Hitler committed suicide. Correct me if I am wrong though.

As of April 30th 2020, it will have been 75 years since Adolf Hitler committed suicide in his bunker in Berlin, thus marking an end to the Third Reich. In the aftermath, Nazi Germany and the man behind it have gone down in history as the most despicable people to have existed and have been immortalized as the pinnacle of human evil. Considering the fact that today (4/30/20) Hitler killed himself and marked an end to his reign of terror, I began to ask myself which other historical figures were somewhat equivalents of Hitler throughout various eras and places in human history. Or to rephrase the question, what historical figures were used as societal examples of evil incarnate? For example, was Attila the Hun or Hannibal the quintessential picture of evil for the Romans? Or in the mid 1800's was Napoleon considered to be the essential bloodthirsty conqueror by most Europeans? I know this is a broad question whose answer could wildly vary based on the time and place in question, but I would just like to hear maybe a few examples or so of what society considered the "former" pinnacles of evil. Thanks!

Hi yall, I need some sources. I am currently writing a paper on how Archduke Franz Ferdinand is similar to Julius Caesar, and I need some good sources on Archduke Ferdinand. Also, are there any resources that I could use to find articles from the time period of Ferdinand's assassination?

Thanks

Hey y’all! I’m embarking on a big creative project that’s been brewing in my head for years. As of now I am in the middle of the research phase of my project. I’ve been very influenced by the combined study of history, theology, and comparative religion. The main subject of my project is based on the Aztec Trickster god huehuecoyotl. I’d like to ask if any of you have any interesting facts or information and/or resources that could help me. Any help is appreciated and no fact is too trivial. Thank you all!

I'm looking for books that discuss the major exonomic and political events in Egypt in recent years i.e. post 2000 and possibly include the revolution and military coup that took place.

Analysis of those events would also be very nice.

Why did foreign powers set up so called "Trading Posts" and "Factories"? What was their purpose and function?

I hear people were lied to about the effects of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. Is any of this true?

What are some leaders that, despite reigning for a short time (3 years or less), managed to impact the history of their country in a significant (and positive) way?

This just seems like a massive oversight by the allied command. Why did they chose to design their landing craft that way? Time constraints?

What confuses me the most is that the US was already using amtrucks by 1941,so why didn't they use them at D-day?

Obviously he broke the law when he made himself dictator for life, but being a dictator doesn't necessarily mean being a tyrant. As far as I am aware he did a lot of good for the Roman people. So my question is, was he more of good than bad? Did the conspirators kill him not only for their own gain but also because they truly believed he was oppressing the republic and its people?

Asking for a friend.

I was watching a documentary on Amazon Prime about Saddam Hussein, and how he decided to create a shrine to his "victory" over the Americans in Kuwait by making a mosque, as well as Papa Doc's crazy ideas that he was a God. What is the weirdest thing that a tyrannical leader (or government) ever done? Not the worst, just the weirdest/funniest?
