would the public even be aware of its existence, for that matter?

Interested in learning after reading Joseph Telushkin.

Alright so let me first tell you that I am not looking towards defending the National Socialist party, their ideology, or their actions.

It is for this reason as well that I don’t ask this question in one of the relevant ideological subs, although this is most likely a unfounded paranoia.

To explain the question a bit more in detail:

1. the nomenclature of Socialism seems, at least to me, opposite to the historical ‘cleansing’ of communist elements. This is why I ask the question.

2. I am interested in what the elements of the ideology or party were that made their leaders opt for this name.

3. if there are actual elements in the party and their ideology which could be (historically) connected to Socialism, what would be the “real” socialism of the party? What did they do in Germany and beyond that could fall under here?

Thank you and please let me know if you have any critiques of the question or it’s formatting. I understand that this is a sensitive topic and want to treat it as such.

I've been listening to the British History Podcast, and there keeps being talk of "industrial sized" farms in the late Roman period that then collapsed into smaller subsidence sized farm with a collapsing economy.

What was the difference in size between those farms? And how they were worked and who worked them? And what they grew/husbanded? And the equipment they used and the size of the fields etc?

As I understand it, John Meyer and Alfred Conrad using cliometrics have pretty much dispelled the notion that slavery was unprofitable and doomed to fail via perceived economic inefficiencies. Does this consensus still hold true today or has modern academia moved on from Meyer and Conrad's conclusions?

Also just to make clear, slavery was an absolutely abhorrent practice that no amount of economic benefit can justify

Everything I've read both in books and on this subreddit suggests that it was inappropriate for Western men to wear beards in the 1700s, but in the 1800s they were worn by kings, presidents, aristocrats, and scholars alike. Was this a gradual shift in fashion, or an abrupt change in upper-class preference?

Okay so I’m doing this project in history and long story short, I need to find sources to prove that jury tampering did not happen during the Boston massacre trials. Thing is I’ve been looking for a week now and I can’t find anything. So I’m hoping that someone here has answers and could maybe link a source or suggest where I could find an answer.

I've read a lot about epidemics from germs brought over by colonizers killing off huge numbers of indigenous people in the Americas, and this being replicated (if not to the same extent) in other places globally.

Why I want to know is why a similar transfer of germs didn't effect people coming from Europe? Why were there no infectious diseases that went in the other direction, so to speak?

Specifically, the discoveries made through the torture and experimentation of POWs, Jews, Gypsies, etc.

What did the French government do with the massive amount of corpses?

I know there’s a hierarchy, and I know a few tidbits like that a margrave has land on the borders and is usually charged with keeping the neighboring country from invading, but I just can’t wrap my head around everything else.

For example, I know a count outranks a viscount. But are viscounties subdivisions within counties? Would a count have multiple viscounts managing different parts of his land? If so, does the same hold up for the rest of the titles? If not, why does the former outrank the latter?

I know that during the 12-13th century women in Japan had much greater rights than one would expect for the time (including the ability to own land, divorce and remarry), but I can't seem to find any evidence of female daimyo during the Sengoku era. Did any exist or did women's rights totally collapse in the span of 2 centuries?

Never read any of his works except for some Time lIfe .Specifically "Soviet Juggernaut" and Red Army on the march. Are there better works covering the USSR experience for someone with limited free time to read?

Ok wondering if they felt much of a need to justify at all. Or did they wait for others to attack them first and justify the conquest this way instead?

I have recently been shown a certificate of service for my Grandfather's Dog, Peggy, who was taken away during WW2 to be trained as a guard dog and then returned after the war with a letter and certificate, but, understandably it doesn't have much information in terms of what Peggy did during the war.

I'm curious if there are any records of where Peggy would have been sent during the war or what locations she was used to guard etc. I'd love to be able to have a clearer picture of what Peggy did during her time at war and to be able to tell my Grandmother, who is now 93, about Peggy at war.

The only information I know of her is that she was No.1080 and called Peggy, she would have come from Washington in Tyne and Wear, England. Does anyone know of any libraries, websites or records which would contain more detailed information about individual service dogs during WW2?

My dad gave me my great grandpas WW2 jacket and I'm trying to identify the decorations. He was an American solider first of all, and he fought in the European theater. He appears to have been a sergeant or its WW2 equivalent at the time. He has like the three arrows pointing up and the two Simi circles underneath. I don't know what branch he was in, but under the collar theres a trapezoid embroidery with a golden circle and then a golden eagle in the gold circle. He also has two bar pins in the left Pocket, one with brown outer stripes, and green inside with some other colors that look like the flags of Italy and france. It also has a metal star in the center. The other pin is solid red, with three white stripes on either end. Can you tell me what any of this means?

A theme im noticing in history is that Jews were prosecuted and hated, from the Romans to the middle ages to Nazis. What was the reason for this? I'm asking specifically in middle ages Europe but information about earlier periods is also welcome.
