People were using rockets in 1812…..?

There have been many migrations in the past in and out of the Indian subcontinent one such was the Aryan migration which was claimed to bring about the current Indian culture and the sacred Indian texts such as the Rigveda.

First of all, I want to say that I am not fluent in English, and also, I hope I can post it here.

Themes: Fall of Weimar Republic / Rise of Nazism / Homosexuality and transexuality in Berlin in the 1920's / women's condition.

I have to present two primary sources; pictures of the Eldorado club (famous "Gay club" in Berlin) in 1930, before the publication of paragraph 175 (states that: "being homosexual = bad") and after (lgbt+ friendly club closed) (link in comments if I can). I can't find WHO and WHEN exactly were these two photos taken. I want to know if y'all have a way to figure this out? Like a tool in order to find where do the sources come from exactly?

Also I want to know a bit more about the "LGBT" community at that time. I looked up for informations, but overall, it is not extremely precise.

Is there someone who can give me good resources for information about homosexual/trans community in Berlin in the 20-30's? Anyone knows "fun facts" about this era and about Berlin at that time?

Thank you!

Greetings!

Let me start off with giving you all some context.

I'm currently writing a novel about the Old West.

The story takes place all over the old United States between the years 1830 and 1875.

The main character and his wife are travelling from the Montana Territory down to Austin, Texas.

The year they travelled is 1848 and they are travelling on two well maintained, healthy horses and they're carrying only the bare essentials.

What is the usual route travellers would follow?

What kind of dangers would they most likely encounter in their journey?

What places would they stop in to resupply and rest?

What time of year is most ideal to travel?

And most importantly,

How long would this take them?

Thank you in advance for those willing to help.

What could possibly have been the first small steps of some back water, fly in the Carthaginian's ointment, City State that led to such a great leap forward in human history? Rome is the definition of empire. If, "All roads lead to Rome", than who laid the first stones?

How we all know, Vlad's image suffered from a propaganda campaign that started after 1462 and still going on to this day.

What factors made that campaign so effective, and how does the modern historians make the difference between the real Vlad and the fictional one?

Do the successor states of the Soviet Union, such as Russia or Tajikistan, not teach the details of Bolshevism, Socialism, or their history from '22-'91, or is that glossed over?

I'm asking this because I have a Russian friend who is not familiar with many historical socialist thinkers, such as Peter Kropotkin. I'm also under the impression that today's Russians distance themselves from their Soviet legacy, and I have no clue how nations like Uzbekistan or Kazakhstan view that episode of their history.

I'm under the impression that modern-day people from the former USSR distance themselves from that episode in their history, and that they're trying to be like a capitalistic European country.

Their are similarities between the Russian system of governance and their philosophies with the American Republican Party in terms of their economic policy being very Keynesian, support for the wealthy class, strident Christianity nationalism, and even their clothes has converged to that of a conservative party. During the Soviet Union Era, the Ukrainians/Russian wore their distinctive Slavic clothes, and they seemed to differentiate themselves from other Europeans, but today, they wear the same fashion as their Western European and North American counterparts.

• What do people from Russia, Ukraine, Central Asian Republics, Caucus Mountains, etc., view socialism today and the way it was back then?
• Have these people renounced Marx, Lenin, Stalin, etc.?
• Is this not even taught in schools anymore, because I'm under the impression that this episode of the former Soviet's history has been erased or minimalized.

In Into the Silence, Wade Davis writes

“The chances of emerging unscathed were slim. Indeed, in 1914, the chances of any British boy aged thirteen through twenty-four surviving the war were one in three.”

I am aware of a similar stat for Russia in WWII, but I don’t recall it being as bad as this. I was surprised at how bad the Britain figure is…presumably even more were wounded. I wonder how many were left unscathed.

Is Wade Davis correct? And was this the worst time and place to be a young man?

I've found the Domesday book entrance for a village called Aldridge - however the language it uses is very unfamiliar (I don't mean it's in latin, I mean it makes reference to units like furlongs, hides, bordars and sokes).

“Robert holds of William 3 hides in Aldridge. There is land for 3 ploughs. In demesne are two ploughs with one slave; and 5 villages with 1 bordar have 2 ploughs. There is one acre of meadow, and woodland pasture 5 furlongs long by 3 furlongs broad. It was and is worth 15s. and the king has the soke.”

I understand that Robert references the landowner, Robert d'Oyly, and the tenant-in-chief was William Fitz-Ansculf. however, I don't understand the breakdown of the property that follows.

This one of the thing that puzzle me most about american suburbs - the sheer lack of any nearby grocery store, forcing long trip to shopping areas. How did that happen? Why did traditional, mixed-use neighborhoods go out of style?

Why does the US not use the metric system when every other major country in the world does from a historical standpoint? Why did it choose to use the imperial system whereas others used the metric?

My parents used to say this a lot before they would cuss "pardon my French" what does it mean? Were the French perceived as vulgar at some point? I thought French society was always highly regarded throughout the world. Thanks!

I was wondering if there are any sources that listed the populations for the 13 states in 1787. Big states like Virginia and Pennsylvania favored proportional representation while small states like Delaware and New Jersey favored equal state representation. I want to know how much of the American population at the time was divided between big and small states.

From what I've learned, Sokrates was sentenced to death for corrupting the youth by defying gods and introducing strange ones. Yet, Protagoras of Abdera openly claimed: "Concerning the gods, I have no means of knowing whether they exist or not, nor of what sort they may be, because of the obscurity of the subject and the brevity of human life".

So why did Sokrates receive such a bad treatment as opposed to Protagoras, Diogenes, and other agnostic philosophers?
