In ww2 the Canadians helped in the Normandy landings, landing on juno beach. I would like to travel by foot (camping) the distance the Canadians travelled from juno beach to their furthest point in Germany or wherever the Canadians stopped (this is only the soldiers who landed on the beaches of Normandy, this doesn't include Canadians who where in Italy).

So how far would i have to travel if i followed the steps of the Canadians to their last captured territory (assuming the Canadians did not make a straight line to Berlin)

Thank you to all who take the time to help me with this question.

I hope I have phrased this question correctly.

I'm Turkish and hence grew up surrounded by Armenian Genocide denial. Now I want to piece together the historical context of these events, for my own sake, because I want to understand (and to some extent, reconcile) the global historical consensus on the topic, and the culture and ideology I grew up with. I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to historical knowledge, and whatever resource I can find on this matter always feels a bit incomplete to me.

As far as I understand/ can convey, Turkish denial of the genocide rests heavily on the characterization of the mass deportation of Armenians as a kind of self-defense response to Armenian insurgency in the area (coupled with their support of the invading Russian military). I want to understand the origin of this claim. I've looked up some threads on this forum pertaining to Turkish denial, but I have not found as much on the veracity of Turkish claims of Armenian assault as I would like. (This is not an attempt to question the presence of other intents/motives.)

I want to understand to what degree the Turks/Muslims in the area were endangered by Armenian assault, and what the nature of Armenian armament was. The notion that mass deportation was self-defense does not sit very well with me- ultimately, the conflict ended in Armenians as pretty much an entire demographic being displaced from the region and massacred; that heavily implies to me that Ottoman militia was vastly more powerful than Armenian forces, so there must have been a more... humane, less drastic outcome that would've ensured Ottoman territorial integrity anyways. (I assume that is what the Ottoman Empire wanted.)

I want to list some more detailed questions in the hopes that it will convey the kind of information I seek a touch more clearly. I do not expect answers to all of these.

1. Was Armenian insurgency provoked by previous instances/attempts of ethnic cleansing by Ottomans, and was the primary motive Armenian independence?
2. If there were previous attempts at genocide, were there retaliatory attempts against Turkish communities?
3. Is there any estimate of Turkish losses to Armenian combatants?
4. Was there large-scale Armenian mobilization, or is Armenian separatism more so a phenomenon exaggerated by Turkish history as a scapegoat for lost Ottoman influence in the area?
5. Especially considering the presence of Russian forces in the region (who, as I understand, were there to protect Christian interests), could the conflict in (North?-)Eastern Anatolia be classified as mutual ethnic cleansing/genocide?

In summary, I want to learn more about the extent of Turkish/Ottoman loss and suffering sustained in combat against Armenians in the conflicts that led to the Armenian Genocide.

I understand why the Carolingian Empire collapsed, but how exactly did a powerful and famous dynasty come to lose power over much smaller and easier to manage domains? In both kingdoms, nobles simply stopped respecting dynastic succession and elected their own successors to the kingship. To me this seems to display the lack of power the dynasty had in the 10th century, and I'm wondering how it was weakened to this point.

If we were to discount the reaction to the close calls of the Cold War (Cuban Missiles, Able Archer), was the rest of the conflict a scarier time to live in (American or not) than now? Was Nuclear war always seemingly inevitable or were there hopes that the whole situation could one day diffuse?

Also is the Covid pandemic less scary than the average day in, say, the 1960s or 80s?

(And if I, the perseverating poli-scientist I am, freaked out over North Korea or Iran, how often would the cold war have given me panic attacks?)

The relevant text is:

"I will now explain why I have made mention of this circumstance: there is a temple of Erechtheus the Earth-born, as he is called, in this citadel, containing within it an olive-tree and a sea. The tale goes among the Athenians, that they were placed there as witnesses by Neptune and Minerva, when they had their contention about the country. Now this olive-tree had been burnt with the rest of the temple when the barbarians took the place. But when the Athenians, whom the king had commanded to offer sacrifice, went up into the temple for the purpose, they found a fresh shoot, as much as a cubit in length, thrown out from the old trunk. Such at least was the account which these persons gave. "

I found it weird because he called the earth-born by its Greek name and then called the gods by their roman names. Furthermore, I am especially surprised about the use of Minerva rather than Athena because the Greeks did not like the fact that the Romans made Minerva extremely passive and no longer in warfare.

i am a average peasant with a bit of wealth, i would either taking a boat or travel on road to see a very important person. how much time would i take to travel?

Most names that citizens of the United States carry are names brought with them from their countries of origin.

Are there any surnames which were created in America?

I'd also like them to be as unbiased as possible.

Were there people in 1918 "protesting" the Spanish Flu, and claiming it was a hoax? Maybe in rural areas where it wasn't so common?

The ability for some people in 2020 to claim the 2020 hoax is so wild to me, that I feel like no one could ever arrive at the opinion without the massive info/disinfo/communication ability of the internet. But if there was a similar movement of mass denial in 1918, then obviously my hypothesis is false.

Hi r/askhistorians, I wanted to ask about the history of the Mitsubishi logo and WW2.

I’ve been told by others in the past that the Mitsubishi logo is supposed to be a reference to the propellers of WW2 military fighter planes which they had engineered in order to attack and subjugate neighboring eastern Asian countries as well as Pearl Harbor. I know someone from the X gen who grew up in a military family who refuses to ever buy a Mitsubishi car for this reason.

Is this true or is this just a myth? If it’s a myth, what’s its real history? Is it really accurate to compare the Mitsubishi logo to the logo of the Luftwaffe from Nazi Germany?

I been endlessly searching for photo references on this subject for my scale modeling hobby and I want my models to be historically accurate as much as possible. So I got really desperate to ask if any Tigers exist with the same description?

Any recommendations for reputable history documentaries suitable for curious under-10 year olds? Schools aren't back for while yet and the current obsession with biology is reminding me why I didn't take that subject in my senior years high school. Really reminding me. I feel it is worth trying to prompt a change in obsessions.

Ideally the documentary won't assume knowledge of timelines in a broad sense. But long words and technical jargon are in no way a barrier.

Just wondering as I noticed the infamous Chernobyl director and the leader of the doomed hiker group named after him aka Dyatlov pass have the same last name. Are they related in any way or just a coincidence of same last name?

This may be removed for a few reasons, I'll give it ago anyway.

I remember reading about a football/Soccer match that happened in the last 100 years probably during ww2 where the occupied Country won a match against the occupying forces and were all 'disappeared' did I make this up? Help please.

How much did scientific advancement and inventions decrease in the Middle Ages? Has anyone counted the number of advancements and intentions of the Middle Ages? Have they been compared to the number in Antiquity?
