I had heard that written Hebrew is practically uniform, but that there are some pronounciation differences in some Jewish communities. Is this a reflection of historical Jewish immigration/settlement patterns in the United States, or the particular influence of major communities or...what?

Historians of Reddit, I have what appears to be a Masonic Templar ceremonial sword that has a name engraved on the blade and would like to know if anyone knows about that time period? and if perhaps that it is a genuine sword.

While the relationship with neighbouring kingdoms and states of the Teutonic Order, Sweden, Poland or Hungary were possibly the main part, did they attempted rear alliances or relations with the Holy Roman Empire, the Papacy, France or even the Latin Empire; or were they always overshadowed by ties with Constantinople?

When I was young I read a autobiography called 'Life and Death in Shanghai' and always wondered how accurate it was.

In a couple of WWII documentaries that I've watched recently, I've noticed that Winston Churchill visited Moscow and Cairo both in 1942, when the tides hasn't turned yet in favor of Allies. How was this possible? I can understand that it was rather safe to use a sea route to Cairo, making a stop in Malta or Gibraltar (even though, wasn't there Italian navy?), but a voyage to Moscow meant the usage of air transport, and the German occupied airspace. These are the dangerous examples I can think of, I'm sure there must be plenty of more.

I imagine you lot have received an armful of posts about remembering history, but I really need some help with this. I like history. I like learning about what people that came before us did. I want to understand it, but I'm not that smart. I have a 4.0 GPA, sure. However, my mind spits it all out after the subject, and I really need help. I'm a 15 year-old homeschooled student, and I just want to improve my education. I'm not that bright, but I really want to learn. I'm desperate here, so please give me your advice. I use the Cornell method and I also highlight, but I don't think it's enough. I genuinely want to remember this. Please respond. Thank you.

I mean they've been wiped off the map only to be brought back two centuries later, do they just skip that time or talk about the people who owned each individual land?

I believe that curry originated from Southern Asia, Zheng He may have brought it back to China. Other than the main question, here is a ‘booster’ challenge, did these things influence Japanese cuisines as well because Japan had traded with China?

Hello, i was talking with my father the other day and he was talking to me about "Gladio" which seems to be a series of terrorist attacks organized by NATO and CIA in some european countries to then accuse other organizations mostly communist political parties of doing them. I cant find almost anything about it on the internet so i came here to ask if someone could tell me what it was and what happened to it.

Italian official historiography has always emphasized this fact, but what was the point of view of other nations?

So Cronus got jealous of his father Uranus who was the ruler of the universe, castrated Uranus with a sickle and married own mother to overthrow Uranus, then while ruling he ate all of his own children after being cursed that they would one day do the same to him.

Yet this era is known as the "golden age of humanity"?

From wikipedia:

By extension, "Golden Age" denotes a period of primordial peace, harmony, stability, and prosperity. During this age, peace and harmony prevailed in that people did not have to work to feed themselves for the earth provided food in abundance. They lived to a very old age with a youthful appearance, eventually dying peacefully, with spirits living on as "guardians". Plato in Cratylus (397 e) recounts the golden race of humans who came first. He clarifies that Hesiod did not mean literally made of gold, but good and noble.

In classical Greek mythology, the Golden Age was presided over by the leading Titan Cronus.[3] In some versions of the myth Astraea also ruled. She lived with men until the end of the Silver Age. But in the Bronze Age, when men became violent and greedy, she fled to the stars, where she appears as the constellation Virgo, holding the scales of Justice, or Libra.[4]

How come this asshole Cronus ruled over the most prosperous time and when he inevitably was overthrown mankind was corrupted and had to work and fight?

Basically what I'm asking is, what is the connection between Cronus's ruling and the golden age being so golden?

As an Australian Gallipoli is obviously a big part of our history and their is a lot of British hate that comes out of it, one of the most common things I hear is that the British officers ordered the ANZAC forces to unload their rifles and charge the Ottoman forces with just their bayonets, so here's my question, did this really happen or was this just a myth that was born from Australian patriotism?

Hi there, fellow historians! I have a big request for you, ladies and gentlemen. I finally decided to man up and pick this topic for my thesis: The black death.

The only issue is... I couldn't find enough books regarding this topic in my country. I might have to order a few books from the US so I can thoroughly research important information about the plague. Do you guys have any good information that you could share? Or perhaps some books that I should look up? The more the merrier!

This post is basicaly a desperate attempt to find valuable information regarding "the black death" so I can make a great thesis. Thank you guys so much.

English is my 3rd language (I'm from EU), hopefully I didn't dissappoint you too much with my grammar!

The Lighthouse is a new film by Robert Eggers about two lighthouse keepers on an island in 1890s New England and is supposedly incredibly accurate in everything from the way the two main actors speak to the clothes they wear and the food they eat.

Apparently in preparation for The Lighthouse Robert Eggers read a wide array of books and journals about this place and time. He has mentioned briefly in interviews that he’s been reading Sarah Orne Jewett but hasn’t really touched more upon that.

So in general my question is: What other books would Robert Eggers have had to have read for his research for the film?

This can also be interpreted as: What are the best books on 1890s New England lighthouse keepers?
