There are so many different versions of it i can't decide which one to read. Which one is the closest to the original and preferably easy to read.

All the Latin American countries speak Spanish, but the Philippines doesn't even though it was also part of New Spain.

Besides informal chat boards and short papers with no names attached, I cannot find any sources that are good enough to support a presentation on the subject. I know about the actual events connected to the sharpness wars however.

Is this hardline legalistic approach to life in Jewish thought a trend in Judaism dating back to before the destruction of the second temple, or is it more like an orthodox backlash to the Jewish Enlightenment?

I know it's assumed that Caesar had epilepsy from descriptions of his fits, but how would he have hidden his seizures from people?

Recently, the Midwest, and more specifically western Michigan had a snowstorm of pretty insane proportions. For a whole week there was almost no visibility outside, temperatures were low enough to cause frostbite in 20 minutes with the ever present icy winds factored in.

Native Americans in the Midwest had to deal with snow all the time of course, but surely snowstorms of the above proportions would have happened to the Native Americans sometimes.

Before any modern technology was brought to the Americas, how would they have dealt with winds and temps so cold they couldn't go outside for more than 20 minutes;how would they get food?. How would their structures have held up against a foot or more of snow. With that much snow and cold would life for Natives nearly shut down until the weather passed?

I'm aware that there are tons of different native groups across the nation that would have lived with and dealt with snow in different ways, so if anyone is an expert on any group at all (not just Midwestern or western Michigan ones) the response would of course still be appreciated.

Lake Ontario features a very dense area from Toronto to Hamilton, but on the US side there’s really just Rochester - hardly major at this point and came into existence due to the Erie Canal as much as anything else.

The other lakes that the US and Canada share feature nothing prominent from Canada, but Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, and Detroit in the US. Why aren’t there other Canadian ports along the lakes? And why doesn’t northern NY feature more?

I guess I should clarify that I’m not asking the hard-to-answer “why’s didnt X happen” but more “why did this happen the way that it did.”

What would life be like for a Hawaiian native during the mid period of the Hawaiian kingdom? Was poverty common, was politics a cared for issue? How many traditions did they keep from before unification?

Despite being on the same side in WW1, their historic and cultural ties, it seems the Kingdom of Yugoslavia did not recognize the USSR. Where there any unofficial relations? What was the Soviet Union's reaction to the German invasion and occupation?

After seeing this mod post, np.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/ban7jc/if_you_were_a_commoner_would_it_have_been_better/ekdhj9g the amount of useless comments they remove is astounding, they are doing an excellent job of keeping his place civilized. .

I've a new found curiosity for the history of the Mediterranean region in the Hellenic and Antiquity periods, and the European and Asia Minor region for Medieval periods. I would like to start right before the times of Alexander the Great, or if possible, the inception of Greek city states and how they came into existence.

From Alexander, I would like to shift my focus to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Then, I would want to dive into the medieval world with a major focus on the Crusades and the Orders of temple (especially, order of the temple of Solomon aka Knight Templars).

I'm contemplating the idea of buying the following books. Should I add or remove any of them? What are your reviews on the books? Where should I start?

Edit:- Forgot to add the lost of books. Here it is

1. Alexander the Great by Philip Freeman
2. SPQR: A history of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard
3. Medieval Europe by Chris Wickham
4. The Oxford History of Medieval Europe by George Holmes
5. How to Plan a Crusade by Christopher Tyerman
6. The New Knighthood: A History of the Order of the Temple (Canto Classics) by Malcolm Barber.

Why is every comment of every post I go on this subreddit is [(Removed)]?!!!!!?!!

Seems like flaming arrows would do more damage and spread fire across the enemy ranks. It also seems like armies had access to flammable substances, like tar, oil, or resin, that they could coat their arrows in.

Sorry for any formatting issues. I’m on mobile.

Listening to Molotov, he was making the case for their Polish gov't to get membership before Argentina. But his citing of FDR and Cordell Hull has made me interested in why America seemed to be upset with Argentina up to 1944

I would like to apologise for the nature of my question. A couple years ago, I heard of a man who's records are apparently a bit Apocryphal. Unfortunately, I have forgotten his name, and can't find anything when I try to find him.

I think he was Polish, or maybe Danish or Scandinavian. Definitely northern European.

He was some sort of resistance leader or revolutionary. His group was being attacked by some sort of pike group, and was unable to deal with them effectively. According to the story, he "ran up on the pikes" or something like that, which, if I understood it correctly, entailed impaling himself on as many as possible to create a gap that his army poured through to win the battle.

I also remember his name was something that sounds hilarious to English speakers, like "winkleworth" or something like that.

Again, I apologise for the awfulness of this question, but it's driving me crazy and I don't know where else to look.
