Sources would be nice

Edit: president was martin van buren not Andrew Jackson but Martin Van Buren was Andrew’s protege so in theory they are both at fault.

Martin just continued Andrew’s indian removal act

I've done a not-insignificant amount of reading about PTSD as a condition and the history of it as a diagnostic term, but most of what I've read has been more focused on the POV of doctors and researchers rather than the perspective and activities of the people being studied. In terms of populations with a marked trauma history, a couple tend to recur starting in the 1970s -- Vietnam veterans, Holocaust survivors and their children, and so on -- and anecdotal accounts taken from gatherings or groups of vets, Holocaust survivors, etc. pop up from time to time in writing for laypeople about PTSD, but it's hard for me to get a sense of how these groups functioned outside the context of doctors advocating for their patients. If they existed, how did groups of survivors form? How did they get in touch with each other and organize, did they grow out of other affinity groups/organizations or did they form independently? Was there ever solidarity between groups for survivors of different kinds of trauma, in terms of collaboration with one another/jointly making requests for disability accommodation/etc., and were they ever at odds? What demands/accommodations did they angle for, if any, and what was the general impetus/philosophy around their formation, in the way that modern groups for trauma survivors (first responders and veterans, incest and CSA, etc.) tend to be organized around a certain medical/philosophical stance?

I think the story went something like:

A british(?) sailor left his post for what seemed like a good reason at first blush - like perhaps someone was wounded & he helped them off deck? However he was convicted of deserting his post. The family fought for many years to get his conviction overturned. I can't recall if it was or was not.

It's a vague story, I know; but any help would be appreciated.

I was wondering because I remember reading somewhere(might have been a Reddit comment) that pharaohs were overweight, since they didn't walk a lot, and they ate a lot of milk and honey.

Is that true? If they were overweight, which for that time is probably different than being overweight at this day and age, why are they all depicted as skinny in statues and coffins?

Short story: I visited my grandmother (90 yo, austrian); I'm in interested in history. When it came to my mind that she actually experienced the time of the second world war and before I thought I'd ask her about that time next time I see her. Only there's not specific that I'm interested in. More lof a general curiousity thing. So I wondered if there's like a spreadsheet of questions or something historians use for interviews. Or to put it more simply:

TLDR: If a historian were to ask a ww2 witness, what would be some of the questions asked?

I'm doing some research for a project and came across this name on silver dirham deposited in the Cuerdale Hoard (England) thought to be buried some time between 900-910.

After a quick Google nothing seems to come up however he must have been a ruler in the Islamic world at some point. Can anyone help?

The project is on long distance trade in the Viking world so any additional info on that would be much appreciated as well

Was it more due to western imperialism and the embarrassment that the dynasty had to go through for example through the Opium wars, or was it more due to internal problems like the food riots and the general corruption?

the 1770s to 1790s were the times of America's founding and the hottest time of classical music in Vienna. Did Washington, founding fathers and early presidents enjoy music and culture from Europe at that time?

The powdered white hair look associated with Washington and the first few presidents is fashion contemporary with the glory age of classical music and Vienna in the 18th century

Sorry if this question seems stupid however right now I'm just about finished reading Mythology by Edith Hamilton and I'm curious to know whether or not the epic about the Trojan War has any evidence to show whether or not the historically accurate parts of the read really happened or not. Thanks!

I hear idea of race and all is new, so how I'm wondering how were race relations say in the British Raj?

I understand this is a weird question, but at one point somebody mustve made the idea okay. Like at sometime somebody saw a person of dramatically different skin color for the first time and how they reacted became socially normal. If you think about it back then that it would've been a huge deal because as a group youre just now realizing that other beings that look like you are just as intelligent.

I'v been playing total war and I noticed that in a recent patch it included a patch for Hannibal which gave him a patch as well I have been playing see of thieves which is a pirate game where you can wear patches such as the patch on day one that included the day one patch which was an eye patch so did Hannibal inspire pirates to wear eye patches?

Patch/Edit: I noticed no ones responded yet but i wanna just make sure everyone knows im talking about Hannibal from total war not hannibal from the tv show or movie

I’m writing a story set in 13th Century England and Scotland. Most of the story is set on ships and I’ve been having issues finding the information I need to move forward with the story. Any information or resource suggestions to help me get on the right track would be greatly appreciated!

The Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth was partitioned by the Germans, Austrians, and Russians. But since both countries have gained their independence. What has stopped them from reforming their commonwealth, and is it even something the two countries want?

The Anglo saxons came from northern Germany and Denmark, the Angles specifically from an area that was at one point part of Denmark and is now mixed between Germany and Denmark [schelswig area]. They were both Germanic tribes and migrated to England between the fifth and seventh centuries.

I point this out to preface my question because what seems interesting/confusing to me is that the Viking invasions started not too long after In the 9th century. The Vikings that went to England were mainly from Denmark, and had a Germanic culture to a large degree.

From my understanding of the Viking invasions into Briton it’s made out to seem like the Vikings were some type of barbarian/outsider/unknown foreign group of people coming and attacking England.

The Vikings however were from an area where the angles were living not too long before and had elements of a similarly based culture. Not to mention Denmark isn’t really that far away from England.

Did the Anglo saxons in England have a previous knowledge/similarities to the Vikings before they came since they were both from parts of the danish peninsula?
