1. I want to add that I don't mean to restrict it to the time immediately following the end of the Civil war but want to keep it open to Post-war (world war 2) and civil rights era as well. I mention that time in the question because that is the time before Phule and Ambedkar became revolutionaries in their own right in India.
2. By separate electorate I don't mean reserved seats in legislative bodies (any) but having a separate voting by X community for candidates of X community in for the seats reserved in the legislative body for the members of X community.
3. This demand was raised by by Dr Ambedkar to empower a people that Hindus had and still do subjugate and oppress such that they (members of Schedule caste and Schedule Tribe) be able to have a say in the lawmaking procedure of the modern Indian state.

In this context was there a demand made for a separate electorate in the United States post the civil war? And if so what became of those demands?

So two questions. Firstly, how confident are historians that the Pope actually supported William the conqueror? Secondly, if it did why?

I mean Godwinson doesn't seem an especially pious man considering he didn't bother to ever have his marrage made offical in church but that was fairly common practice in England at the time. I guess William was a big cathedral builder and the like but I can't find any previous incidents of the Pope attempting to interfere with English succession and Harold had been elected by the Witan.

Considering it was a Pope who ordained the reconquest, I would imagine a Pope or Holy Roman Emperor could receive some religious or political legitimacy for visiting or holding mass in such a holy place, and the city was held for over a century, so did any Pope or Emperor visit, or was the city too remote for such an important figure to travel to personally?

It seems most westerners have arabic (biblical) names. Though im guessing these are not in original form. What were these original forms and are they still common today? Was 'Jesus' a common name back then in the middle east?

This is something that I find hard to explain, but I have trouble getting firm grasp on the concept of what’s going on in these offensives. When an army is “driven back” what is really going on here? The way I think of it, fighting would be concentrated around roads, population centers, and strategic locations. But at the same time, wouldn’t that leave massive holes in the “line” of the army that could be exploited? Which again brings me back to the original question. What exactly is going on in the spaces between the strategic locations, if anything?

Why did Brazil back the Guinea-Bissau rebels against Portugal? I always thought Portugal and Brazil had always been allies and had a special relationship. Why would they back a hostile force against Portugal if they were so friendly with each other? I read about on wikipedia so maybe its wrong on wikipedia idk.

I don't intend to interview just my relatives. But if i am writing on my own community, i will have to start with them. Does this dilute the quality of my work?

Would it not be better for it to be named after the Roman Empire?

Why didn't he continue the blockade longer? The airlift must have been a drain on resources for the Allies. Couldn't he just left it up longer and out wait the Allies?

Hey all!

This is a sort of roundabout history question- my humble apologies if it violates posting rules.

My husband to-be and I are spending 6 days in Rome, Italy as a honeymoon the first week of November. I’ve been lucky enough to travel quite a bit in my life, but this will be his first time overseas, and given the way he and I nerd out at our city’s art + history museums I fear we’ll be too overwhelmed to thoughtfully curate our trip’s itinerary.

We both have longstanding autodidact love affairs with ancient Rome. For an idea of our interests, he’s finishing Carthage Must Be Destroyed and I’m reading Mary Beard’s Women and Power.

We already plan to see the usual stuff, but I’m hoping to find something off the beaten path. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Was it true that they were considered as Stormtroopers by the Germans ?

I notice most of the Erie Canal in upstate New York runs parallel to Lake Ontario. What was the purpose of creating the canal for that entire stretch when goods could’ve theoretically been shipped over Lake Ontario to Oswego or another port and then from there down to Albany and the Hudson?

The 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics were supposed to be a grand display of aryan superiority under the Nazi government.

The 1978 football World Cup in Argentina was used by the military dictatorship as a smokescreen, in order to cover up their human rights violations and State-sanctioned terrorism. While citizens were being tortured and summarily executed in ilegal detention, centers such as the ESMA (Army's Mechanics School), literally blocks away, people cheered during matches at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires.

What are some other instances in which major sports events were used by governments with political motives?

Additionally, in cases were entire units retreated rather than just a handful of men, were the units collectively punished or just the leadership?

It say's he was the only Spartan king ever executed. Did he piss off the wrong people or lose a war?
