The 1997 movie depicts the third class passengers as being European immigrants to America. Had the Titanic gone on to make a return voyage, is there any evidence of who was buying those third class tickets? Was there an equivalent number of people emigrating back to Europe at that time? Lower class persons traveling for business or pleasure? Or would those bunks have remained empty or filled with cargo?

Could I expect any assistance from the government in the form of money or materials? Would I be better off petitioning the state government or the federal government? Am I just on my own and have to pick up the pieces by myself?

Roman King were elected for life after the foundation of the republic his duties were split amongst various office and the high priest,Augustus would later consolidate the authority of various Roman office to himself again. Are there any differences between the authority that Roman King and Emperor have?

I went to a cheese lecture a long time ago and I remember being told that one kind of cheese was eaten by the Roman Army. The lecturer showed a modern example of the cheese, and explained how the Romans wrapped it in black wax and hung it on a rope to make it easy to carry and long term-storage friendly. It was ball shaped, so looked like a small cannon ball.

I can't find any description of this on Google no matter what keywords I use - what am I remembering and how DID Roman soldiers carry their cheese ration?

In the Atlantic, the Spanish used the Canaries as a midway point, and the Portuguese the Azores. Hawaii seems like such a valuable piece of land, but was bizarrely overlooked. Why?

I will be traveling in that region and don't just want to see pretty castles and cities but see places that have a great story and historical significance as well.

Sorry for my dumb question and lack of knowledge but a thought struck to my mind that why were US people fighting British and other European powers if most of the people fighting for independence were from Europe itself.

As much as I know, North America was populated by Native American tribes before the Europeans came and settled there and pushed them west. Now when colonizing powers like Britain ,France ,Spain etc. colonized North America. I've heard that these govts paid their people to move to "New World".

So what was the reason people who came to US revolted against their(kind off their own) govt?

I know the UK has a house of Commons and a house of Lords of which the head is the Queen. The members of the house of Lords are not subject to democratic elections. However most of the decision making seems to be in the house of Commons. How did the UK, turn from being run by an absolute monarch, like King Henry VIII, into just a small part of the parliamentary process? What was the catalyst for this diminishing of this absolute power?

For example, if I asked them what they were doing on Friday, they wouldn't know what Friday is and if they have weeks, they're split up in a different manner than we have now.

Have any historians looked into the “historical Muhammad?” Are there any books, articles, podcasts, etc about the topic?

I'm researching plenty of stuff for my fantasy novel and despite it being purely fictional, I want to make a believable world and there's no better tool for that than researching history.

Today I want to ask someone smarter than me about an accessibility of weapons back then. I know that Europe is a pretty broad range, so if you want something more specific, focus on the eastern part (not required though). What I - a commoner with some limited land property - could potentially afford? If I were to travel from point A to point B, how would I defend mysfelf? Would a firearm be accessible for me?

We got a lot of ruin, law text and monument about daily life, xomplaint etc from the Roman Empire. But reading and writing it's hard and not everybody can afford the education to mastering this skills. So, did we know what % of the population was capable of this ? Public monument, tomb and other stuff was readablz by a vast portion of population or one-ortwo people in a city read everyrhing for everyone ?

I keep hearing about how when the HMS Dreadnought was launched, all previously built battleships became obsolete on the spot and it basically reset the Anglo-German naval arms race. But AFAIK the British fought no naval battle from its launch until 1914, so how was the total superiority of going all-in on big guns instead of having lots of guns of different calibers, like it was the practice before, immediately apparent to everyone?

I'm curious to know why the Teutonic Order attacked Poland even though a vast majority of the Poles had becomes Christians centuries prior, apart from that why was there such rampant anti Polish sentiment among the order even though the Poles were devout Catholics

I hear that it has some errors. It seems to have caught a lot of flack on bad history subreditt. Is the podcast series accurate about WW1 as a whole.

Hello scholars,

​

I'm working on my family tree and trying to put some pieces of the puzzle together. I have an ancestor who was born in Oxfordshire, England circa 1620 and came to Virginia around the time the English Civil War had begun in earnest, and he never went back. While there is surely more than one plausible explanation for this, I'm trying to figure out what the most likely would have been. If there is evidence of English people fleeing the English Civil War, where can I find more information? Would it have been common for them to go to the colonies? Did some of the aristocracy flee to America to avoid Cromwell?

​

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I’m very curious about this. It was considered acceptable to burn 10,000s of civilizations to death as collateral damage during bombing raids but the US never attempted to “smoke out” combatants on the pacific islands. Why? Was it actually considered immoral? Did we simply not want to break treaties? Was it a game of “if we do it, they will too?” Or was it simply not done because it would have been ineffective and not worth the cost?
