I assume the north did as critics of it

I saw this mentioned in passing, and the name sounds so out there I have no idea what it could actually mean.

Spain seemed content with French ambitions and were a valuable ally, especially when there were Naval powers such as Britain threatening both of them. Why did Napoleon not make more of an effort to stay at peace with them, while he was trying to invade Russia as well. It seems to be a pretty big mistake for someone of his apparent genius.

Were Spain close to breaking away or did Napoleon just decide to invade them?

I’m watching The Irishman and the movie pauses to give a bit of information on a character every now and then. Many of these people died in 1979-1981. My question is why did so many mob members get killed at that time? Was there a big mob conflict at that time?

The tribes of the peninsula had contact with the rest of the world and interacted regularly with the Ottomans on the coast. Why were they ignored in most political maps until the First World War?

I’m reading Antony Beevor’s history of the Second World War and in it he relates the sexual violence conducted by Red Army soldiers during their advance into Eastern Germany in late 1944 and 1945.

The accounts of this violence are horrifying but Beevor never makes mention of female Red Army soldiers and their part in these atrocities.

Is there any record of female Soviet soldiers being complicit in the sexual violence against German women and girls during this period?

I was reading in a related post about the white terror in Taiwan and how brutal Chiang Kai Shek was and was thinking why did Mao never take on Taiwan after he shoved the Kuomintang out of the mainland? The numbers were surely stacked in his favour. Was he afraid of the US going against him? Why didn't he even try to organize some local group to go against the regime there?

My question pertains to not just Henry, but all of the prominent and important people throughout history who died far from home and were not buried until weeks or months later.

Both countries at the time would have been relatively liberal representative democracies. Even though Britain had a monarch, it was by no means a dictatorship, and even their average citizen had rights and protections. Also, in the US, slaves, women, and even the poor weren't allowed to vote. So, I was wondering, would a typical American at time be noticeably freer than when they were under British rule or compared to their counterparts in the UK? In terms of political freedom, but from a day-to-day perspective.

I don't know why but it took my quite a long time to realize that it was a short period of time between WWII and Korean war. If you were 19year old during Normandy landings you were in your mid twenties by the time Korean war escalated. It seems a bit unfair to survive WWII just to die few short years later. Did WWII veterans have some sort of immunity or at least some minor privileges during Korean war?

During world war 2, much of the the US Pacific fleet was operating in different time zones. If say an attack was to take place at 7am would it be 7am on the island? Or 7am where the Navy is? Or 7am at HQ?

If that makes any sense.

Hello,

I hope this post is appropriate. I am writing a paper on the influence of missionaries and the spread of Christianity in the Medieval period. I would like to establish the founding, in chronological order, of Christianity based on historical sources; secondary sources are acceptable. Many of the sources in my university's databases speak about Christianity's spiritual foundation, but I am having a hard time finding a good "just the facts" source.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Been looking for some online sources regarding the Peloponnesian War, from my google search there seems to be no strong community for Peloponnesian War research and conversation as there is in forums such as kongming.net and samurai-archives.com, so I'm looking for anything slightly resembling that
