Allied propaganda in WWI showed the Kaiser as basically the Demon, bloodthristy, cruel, slave owner, etc.

But in WWII, the propaganda mostly was about showing the Nazis as idiots, fools, mocking them and basically making fun of them

Why was that? why did the propaganda turned so..opposite way?

and what were they doing that we were so hostile to them before even pearl harbor?

I have often heard that the indigenous peoples of the New World suffered greatly from diseases brought by Europeans. Did the reverse happen as well?

I am not sure if the question is the right one here or completely ignorant.

I heard that the German Language was incredibly diverse and different. Like how Swiss German is different than regular German.

From what I heard, the German Language within Germany was equally diverse and different until the introduction of the Radio? Is that true? Are there any accent or dialect differences or has that been eroded?

Similarly of the French, we all know Quebecois French, Cajun French and Morrocon French are all different in some words, accents and dialect. Is that also true within France as well? Did they have variations of the French Language?

I mean I know the UK has a huge accent and dialect difference of English all over so in hindsight this question seems dumb but I am curious how other languages changed in Europe.

Please I need some help forming a counter argument as part of a history project. I have my own beliefs on Cromwell but something that outright calls him a dictator from the period after the restoration of the monarchy would help a lot.

Ok just saying now, I'm not supporting rape or anything. But I want to wrap my mind about this.

How did woman feel back then knowing that a stronger empire could raid their lands, kill their husbands and rape them as much as the soilders wanted to. To be treated as spoils of war and loot instead of a human being.

Also how offen did the woman get pregnant from the wartime rape?

Ps. Im just wondering the mindset of woman. Once more, not saying I support wartime rape.

Edit: the link had a lot of good info on why they start fighting but I was mostly wondering was it a constant worry they had or were they like "it may happen but mostly wont" mindset.

Following a question to which I got a very nice answer yesterday about cloth dyeing in the Middle Ages I have been reading a little about colours. I see several mentions that furniture was painted in the same era. What kinds of paints were used? And was painting furniture a status or wealth symbol?

Why did the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor instead of assisting their German Allies on the Russian front?

Here’s what I’ve been told. My family is from Lebanon, but the story is that they were originally from Syria near the town of modern Aleppo on a mountain called mount sumac (Jbl sumac - like the spice.) My family said they left after a war between the community they were living in and modern day Turkey. It was a monarchy of sorts and there was a king who ruled it. They fought but eventually Turkey defeated them and made them sign an agreement to leave the area. My family is very insistent that they did not live in Aleppo (Halab at the time I believe) itself, but it was the closest big city because their city was not well known outside of the area.

I cannot find any mention of a war near Aleppo, or even a mount sumac. My family says none of the names of the mountains around Aleppo I’ve found online are the right ones. The timing may be off but they told me it was around the late 19th century.

Does anyone know anything about a war that happened between a city/community near Aleppo in Syria and Turkey? I’ve searched all over in English and in my limited Arabic but have found no leads.

In my head, it's a rather awkward situation: men finding themselves floating about, grabbing debris, meters from those who they were fighting to the death with just moments before.

I wonder about what historical examples tell us about these situations. Was there a code of conduct that determined that sailors in the water would be out of the fight? And if there was, would they taunt each other and cheer on their remaining ships while waiting to be rescued?

If a British ship and a French one sank next to one another during Trafalgar, how would the survivors of both interact while the battle kept raging?

I specified the Age of Sail because I know ships fought up close during that time, but I welcome an answer that covers other time periods, including modern warfare.

As early as the North African campaign the allies had encountered the Tiger And 88 millimetre gun which terrified Allied soldiers. Throughout the French campaign the allies mainly relied on the Sherman which was completely inadequate to match the German Panther or Tiger. The British only introduce their best tank of the war the comet, in early 1945 when the war was drawing to a close, same thing with the Americans with the m26 Pershing. What took the developed of tanks so long?

How much of a role did he specifically play in the development of the project? How likely would this project have been had John Garner been president?

I understand the Romans had relations with China, dating back to the first century, driven by their desire for silk. However, was there any knowledge of what lay east of China, particularly, Japan?

"Communism" for all intensive purposes still exists in Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, China, and North Korea. Why is it considered dead after the fall of the Soviet Union?

I’ve been recently reading into Hernán Cortez and his expedition into Mexico and one thing has struck me is the loyalty of most of his men. How did he not have a mutiny when he gave the order to scuttle his fleet?

How could they be fine with scuttling their only way back home to Spanish territories? Or did he send a few ships back to send word of his location to start a resupply line?

Those men had great bravery to destroy their only way back home and march on into unknown lands.

There is an old nursery rhyme I've taken a liking to. It goes like this:

How many miles to Babylon?

Three score miles and ten

Can I get there by candlelight?

Yes, and back again

Yes, if your feet are nimble and toes are light

You can get there by candlelight

According to Wikipedia, 'can I get there by candlelight' was a common saying in sixteenth century England. Anyone have any idea what it meant and in what situations it might have been used?

Edit: A word

I read that romans "succumbed to the sophistication of greek culture" and greek even became somewhat of the second state language

​

How much influence did greek culture have on Rome

​

What were things they adopted. - And how dominant was greek culture in rome, and how did that ripple through out their empire

It is internationally spreaded, was there a specific turning point or it gradually became a norm over centuries?

Nearly all ancient civilizations have existed around rivers for farmland and other things. How did the Greeks do so well without one?
