I am working on a school project, and for one of the sources I need a historian source. Specifically, I am asking for articles or books talking about Yi Sun-Sin.

For example, if I lived in Wyoming in 1901 and I read in a newspaper that some guy from NY named "Roosevelt" was going to be the vice president, would me and all my fellow Wyomingite's go 8 years pronouncing the first syllable of his name like a "rooster" instead of "rose?" Who would even correct us if we were all wrong?

I have started streaming knightfall on netflix, and in an early episode the Pope asks an advisor to the King of France if he has found God yet, but the advisor declines.

What exactly would happen to someone in say, 1290 if they did publicly reject God?

My 10 year old daughter's school os closed for a few weeks. I think most, if not all, schools are closed. This leaves me and many other parents with kids at home. While keeping them happy, occupied, and safe is paramount, I don't want her education to be neglected. I can find plenty of worksheets and educational games online, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to delve into some specific historical events/ eras. I want to try to mix geography, arts, and culture, into the history, so it's not just dry math drills and what not. Fashion, cooking, and scientific developments to put it in context would make for fun enrichment projects. I'm not sure what to pick, but I'm hoping for the following:

1. something traumatic at the time, but was resolved/survived. I want her to know that hard times happen, and can be overcome.
2. something where there is at least some multimedia coverage that is somewhat entertaining and appropriate for her age.
3. I would love some that were not euro-centric, but i know that might conflict with number two.

I would love suggestions, and I'm sure other parents would like them too.

Why didn’t New Zealand join the other Australian colonies when they unified into the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901?

Do we have records of ancient dreams/ dream journals?

After they got there, how well did they assimilate?

I'm reading Herodotus now and I know I should take everything with a grain of salt, but they way he describes religion in different parts of the ancient world makes it sound like it is basically the same thing. I was wondering how different religion was between Greece, Egypt and Persia?

Hello everyone, I am currently doing a report on the battle of Midway and in some of the books that I am reading say that there were some official documents about the battle that were released for public view some decades after the battle. However I have no clue what these documents are and how to find them. Any kind of help would be appreciated!

Thanks, Splat

Why didn't he insist that for the prayers to be effective it should be performed in the adherents' own mother tongue?

I've recently become interested in ironclad warships, specifically ocean-going monitors like the famous Huáscar.

I notice that many ships of this type, Huáscar included, possess sails in addition to steam propulsion. It makes me wonder why? Would sails be used instead of steam to preserve fuel on long-distance voyages? Were the sails used alone, or as a supplementary source of power? Or indeed, was the steam engine a supplement to the power of the sails? If an ironclad of this type suffered an engine failure, would the sails suffice to let it limp back home?

Additionally, monitor type vessels are known for their very low hulls. They're sort of close to the water, and a lot of the important bits are indeed under the water, making a monitor look more like a surfaced submarine than a traditional ship (to my eyes, at least). It is unclear to me how this type of ship could be made seaworthy for long distance ocean voyages, weathering Pacific storms and monstrous waves. So how did the Huáscar and her sister ships even make it to South America from Great Britain in the first place? Did they sail there under their own power, or were they towed? Or were they shipped over in pieces and rebuilt in situ?

Finally, can anyone recommend some good books about these fascinating early ships?

Thanks!

Did the Hanoverians just have it out for them as soon as they came over and assumed power? Did it have anything to do with divisions of religion? I mean, the English and the Scots have always had a tempestuous relationship, but they did achieve a peaceful unity of their crowns so how’d it fall from there?

I'm from the UK and when learning about WW1 the phrase "war to end all wars" was thrown around and i have always wanted to know what was behind this phrase.

Was it simply a phrase created by the UK as propoganda? Was it coined to boost the morale of soldiers or civilians on the home front?

Would a common Tommy genuinely believe that this war would lead to a peace which would last forever? Was this only a British phrase or was something similar seen throughout all combatant nations?

Thanks in advance,

Im on mobile so apologies if the formatting is messed up.

I've seen some maps, but I wonder how much influence the empire had over the steppes. Were there ever any serious attempts at expanding further into the steppes? Did the steppes have any impact on Persian culture/art?

Was it a matter of meritorious promotion, or political connections, or a combination of the two?

As Garrard's main client was the crown, did they have royal security?

I'm working on some historical fiction about Garrard being robbed in November, 1910.

I would deeply appreciate any type of information on this -- anecdotal / theoretical from your knowledge, or sources I could look at.

Thank you so much if anyone has anything on this!

Like pagan gods were worshipped before the rise of Christianity in Europe and other places, I was wondering what was worshipped before the rise of Hinduism (basically, before 5000-6000 BCE), especially among the Dravidian people (people from the current states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, etc). From what I've read online, the Hinduism that we know of today is a combination of Dravidian and Indo-Aryan influences.

There are some things online about Dravidian folk religion, but I would really like to know more. Even if you know about the more Aryan civilizations that resided in north India (the early Harappan civilization or others), that info would be cool too.

I've just started looking into this out of my own curiosity, so please give me anything you think is worthwhile. Books I should read, journal articles, links to websites, Youtube videos, anything. Perhaps I'm using Google wrong because I haven't yielded much in the few days I've been looking at this.

Thank you in advance. ☺
