I recently discovered that at the time of world war 2 The US incarcerated and relocated about 110,000 Japanese people. How come we hear a lot about other concentration camps from all over the world. Even if they are not worse. But not about this one?

I'm aware that Mesoamericans had complex math and arithmetic, but what about modern day US and Canadian land? Did natives here have words that described numbers higher than 1,000? 1,000,000? Did they have the concept of numerical infinity?

I know that the circumstances were suspicious but is there any real evidence to support the view that it was murder?

San Francisco is basically an island; it's surrounded on three sides by water and most of the land border in the south is dominated by the San Bruno Mountain. Oakland has better transportation connections and has much more room to expand. Most shipping traffic now goes to Oakland. And frankly, the weather is better and less foggy in Oakland too. One would think that after SF was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, Oakland would be a logical place to rebuild. However, since then, SF has been further entrenched by the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, and the Transbay Tube. Why has SF remained the center of the Bay Area despite its awkward location?

I'm not aware of any other examples of this kind of warfare, but always wondered why there are no other examples in this time period. Are there examples to be found on the Balkan like the crimean war 1853.56? If not, then why not? Were these theatres of war simply never total wars?

Famously, upon arrival, there was a multitude of Britannic warriors from a.. coalition of tribes(?)

As opposed some of the general Roman public doubting Britain's existence.

I had always thought it was just due to generally harder conditions in Africa, but I recently watch a doc talking about the extreme conditions settlers faced in North and South America. So why wasn't colonization in Africa more successful, especially as it is "right next door" compared to the Americas.

Asking this because this came up in a video game I was playing, where a character was telling a story of how he had seen enemies burned as an offering to Sutr, the fire giant. The game is Senua's sacrifice.

Did these sacrifices happen to appease the gods?

Specifically I'm talking about the western powers here. Russians were generally considered to be untermenschen, and my assumption is that the jews serving in the russian army would have been treated poorly. (If I'm wrong, by any means correct me). However, US and British troops, I've been led to believe, were treated much better. But what about Jewish individuals in those POW's? Were they treated worse than other POWs?

If I lived in, say, ancient Rome, would there have been architectural movements akin to what was seen in the 21st century with art deco, brutalism, Bauhaus or deconstructivism?

Or was ancient Roman (or Greek or Egyptian or whatever civilization you please) architecture simply "Roman architecture"?

from now and then i came throw this claim a lot i would like to know is it true and if anyone can give me some reading material on it i will be very grateful thanks .

Hello fellow historians!

I'm doing a college presentation about history of women involvement in NATO countries during the Cold war in the military and civilian sectors. Yes, the topic is as broad as it sounds and unfortunately I'm having some difficulty finding the necessary information and sources. It's also worth mentioning that NATO allied countries and countries that were not aligned with the Soviet/Eastern Bloc can also be mentioned (ex. Israel). Basically, anything that involved women (any programs, milestones, achievements,...) in NATO countries during the Cold War.

​

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows anything about the topic and is willing to share that information with me. Also, since I'm asking for help with such a broad topic, feel free to ask me anything in the comments.

How did people in the early and Middle Ages access/consume pornography? Was there such a thing as porn theater for the rich? I’ll be banned for this, but I simply must know! Thanks.
