Hey! It’s me again. I heard that the United Nations considered building the UN HQ Building really close to where I live. The location is called Strawberry Point it’s in Marin County, CA. Let me know if you’re able to find anything. Thanks!

Specifically, evidence that's hard & difficult to dispute but easy to link and bring up. Been debating a lot of Holocaust deniers and need more ammo.

To expand a little bit, I'm starting from the idea that space in the mid-20th century to today holds a similar position to the New World in, say, the 14th Century. The similarities I am thinking of are not so much the shock of a brand new thing, since "space" has known to exist for a long time, but rather the more idealized ideas of a fresh start, expanding humanity's/civilization's reach, wonder at the conceptually new, and perhaps most (in my mind), the sudden expansion of the common view of the possible.

Today, space exploration has inspired all sorts of popular media, the obvious being music and TV shows, really piercing the popular consciousness in the 50s and 60s, though it's not like it has completely remade the landscape; there are other things to sing and write about, after all. So I was wondering, first, the implicit question that's always there; are the assumptions/viewpoints I've started from correct, or at least close, and second, if a comparison CAN be drawn between time periods, even if it's not exactly the one I chose, what are the similarities and differences between the effects of space exploration and New World exploration on art and other media?

Not sure if I'm presenting this in the right way...Judaism is, of course, not a single monolithic group but a collection of living traditions like the Rabbinic tradition, Samaritanism, Karaite Judaism, etc. To what extant did early modern Europe understand and appreciate that there were different groups of Jews that held different beliefs and traditions? Was it more common to just lump them all together?

Side question: did this effect the miniature horse population? I've read that it "almost made them extinct," but I couldn't find a reliable source.

(Re-posting my question from earlier, hopefully it's ok now)

0- Asking this question to know if germany had at chance at the start of kaiserschlacht ?

1- was taking paris a possibility ?

2- if paris were to put under siege or even fall was france going to ask for an armistice v

2-how important was the city of amiens strategically for both the german and british army ?

3-if amiens were to fall was the british army going to retreat from Flanders

4-how important was the role of the AEF in stopping the offensive

Also what do you think of this book The German 1918 Offensives: A Case Study in The Operational Level of War by david zabecki

I know Romania was the major oil producer in Europe before WW2, and that Germany deserted the oil fields during the war, but I don't understand how they weren't able to get rich off the oil and become a 2nd degree power in Europe, and maybe the world before that happened and before the Gulf countries took over the oil market.

So me and my friend have been having this argument for a while, and I honestly don’t know enough information to really understand if it is true or not. Again the question is “was the Irish Potato famine an attempted genocide by the British?” I get the basic background that a disease spread through the Irish potatoes crops killing most, if not all of them, and in turn millions of Irish starved to death or were forced to flee. My friend says that Britain refused aid to Ireland, and didn’t take any of the food foreign countries sent, but again I don’t know enough about the topic to know if that is true or not, so I’m just trying to see what some more educated people have to say

Thanks in advance!

It's pretty widely touted that coffee was used in the civil war, but my main question is what is known about this coffee? How did we get the beans to roast, was it robust or arabica? Etc
