It is quite strange that Imperial Japan had its own share of ultra-nationalism during the second World War and committed its own atrocities like the Rape of Nanjing or Unit 731 but when we think of Japan, we often think of Tokyo and its technologically advanced notion and even its own culture such as anime, manga and even Eastern philosophies such as Buddhism and Confucianism and Zen and the Samurai during Imperial Japan that fascinated the West

It is weird on how a nation that was once an enemy is now considered as a valuable ally in the world

Eggs, Toast, and Orange Juice. When did breakfast foods become commonplace? Was there a king that started the craze?

So, to qualify: I'm not looking for any New Age nonsense or racially biased or Christianzed material. And obviously, different tribes and nations would have different cultural practices that lead to different lines of thought. I am just curious if there is a recognized Native American school of philosophy, with generalities across the tribes/nations, that could be distilled and compared to other large schools of thought. Thanks for any help/resources!

It occurred to me that periods of great upheaval (financial, social, political, etc) are often opportunities for certain people to make a lot of money, scrupulously or not.

I assume that some vast fortunes were made as a result of the upheaval in the new world, but I'm not aware of who, or how?

The Whites were the victors, but they seemed to pretty quickly bring the Reds back into the political process. Why was this? Did they need the Reds?

Similarly, why were the Reds open to reconciliation, particularly after the 'White Terror'?

What part did outside forces play, such as the situation in Russia and Germany?

Sources for further study would be much appreciated. I'd prefer English or Swedish, if available, but I can work my way through Finnish texts as well.

Why did these countries that left this empire, make one country with other peoples (Yugoslavia,Czechoslovak) Why

These country broke up in smaller countries just like Austria- hungary why didn't they just think

''MMMM if we sign up with serbia wouldn't we just become a Austria hungary 2.0 and at some point fall a part?''

Hey guys, I'm not really sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, but currently I am studying Naval Architecture, and will be commissioning into the military after the completion of that degree. However, I have an absolute fascination with history. I was wondering if anyone had any experience themselves, or with a colleague, who managed to complete a Ph.D. without an undergrad in history, while also serving in the military?

I was explaining the term "entitlement programs" to an Australian who commented that it was horrible that we would give the programs such a condescending name and I told them that I was pretty sure that it was meant to say that these were things that everyone was genuinely entitled to by nature of being Americans. But I don't know that that is actually true and it got me wondering if conservative backlash to the programs has driven the word's negative definition to become more prominent.

How did the label of Entitlement get affixed to the programs? Did the people who named them that recognize the potential double meant of the word? Has naming the programs as such caused the negative definition of the word to see more usage?

The question is precisely "what it says on the tin"

Hello! Im taking a course in history and with the current assignment we have to write about the driving force behind different empires choice to expand. For some insight into the assignment(simplified): I've already written about the Mogul empire and that Babur chose to expand in part due to his heritage, being a decendant of Timur and Genghis Khan and how that had an effect on his successors and their choice to expand the empire. Now i have to do the same with the Ottoman empire but i'm having a really hard time finding sources and reasons as to why they chose to expand as much as they did. I'm also reading that they attempted to take Vienne multiple times up until 1683, why is that?

also: if anyone could shed some light on whom the Ottomans traded with, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Like I said in the title. I know about the importance of Aristotle in the European science and philosophy and I know about Muslim commentary about these works.

Since it is pretty well know that they were at least in part copied from Muslim/Arabic sources, I was wondering if European scholars read the commentaries or if they just developed their own ideas? And if they read and maybe even learned from the Arabic commentators, I am curious about what ideas they maybe copied?

Thanks in advance to anybody considering the question (:

Can anyone point me in the direction of some material on the effects of summer, spring and autumn on the Wehrmacht during their time in Russia?

I've looked at the US Army Historical Division report, 'Effects of climate on combat in European Russia', but I cant find any other works that go into much detail on the effects of the spring & autumn rains/mud, or the effects summer had on men, equipment and machines.

Was there any positive examples of relationships between them (I wouldn't class Pocahontas as one)? I've been reading a lot of primary sources and seeing them called savage heathens and such, but am interested in exploring it deeper.

Did they keep moving until they found good pasture? Did they send scouts or explorers to find land and report back?

When they did set out, was it all at once or did they go in smaller groups?

Hi, I am looking for links to websites that will help me understand Agrippa's views about the formation of the 2nd Triumvirate between, Augustus (Octavian), Antony and Lepidus.

I just need links and/ or other references because this is part of my homework and I can't be cheating so I just need the full resource- thanks

Hello, I'm interested in how the spice and foreign trade influenced the common man. I don't know a whole lot about the East India Trading company but it seems like they controlled a vast fortune and power at their height. I'm curious how this was reinvested back into their nation. Or was all the money earned simply controlled by a few elites? Thank you. As a side thought, I'd love to know of any resources that I could read about during this period regarding trade, and how privateers played a role during this time.
