Hello,

In the midst of my dissertation research and I keep coming across this French unit stationed in Montelimar during 1939 after mobilization.

Can anyone point me to a resource with more information on the unit? Perhaps also its battlefield performance during the Battle of France, where its soldiers came from, etc? I suppose a unit history. Thanks!

Hi reddit, I'm new at history, so i wanted to start some late modern history books (sorry my english is so bad hahaha), I added to my list Postwar by Tony Judt which really caught my attention, I also heard of "History of the XX century" by Eric Hobsbawm. The problem is that this is going to be my first book of this kind (although I know pretty much of history for someone who didn't read anything) so i was worried if some of these books would be hard to read.

It would be so cool if any of you can recommend me good history books to start with, no problem if they are a little hard to read, I just dont wanna those books that you read 5 pages and have to take a break hahaha

(Sorry for my english again lol)

Unless my assumption is wrong, which is that Bible doesn’t say anything about on this particular matter.

Was it a broader issue of science vs church in general and solar system just happened to be the hot contemporary topic?

The IJN carrier Zuikaku is seen in some depictions covered in a green geometrically patterned camouflage. When was this applied and how effective was this?

How would the professors' approaches to the topic differ from each other?

By axis music I mean German music and music of counties directly allied to Germany. I'd like to exclude the obvious "non je regrette rien" from Edith Piaf.

Is there anything particular about Lincoln that made even his supporters hostile to him?

My understanding was that the lands were given out as military estates, in military districts where possible, to the field armies most likely during Constans II's reign. The deal is that the soldiers receive land in order for the military service of them and their descendants. Over time, the laws are changed so that tax obligations are taken up by their neighbours when they're campaigning and that the military obligation is tied to the land and not the families.

Specifically, there are a few peculiar bits. For instance, on page 200 of Sowing the Dragon's Teeth by Eric McGeer, "he [Nikephoros II Phokas] also raised the minimum inalienable value of the military properties [of cavalrymen] from four to twelve pounds of gold."

Did the state give out more lands here or did they add a given family's private lands into their military lands thus increasing the value?

Hi, I'm looking for a recommendation for books about these three episodes in British military history.

I have a personal connection to all three, and I've decided it's long past time that I educated myself on them beyond my current superficial understanding.

They don't have to be military focused, in fact I would prefer them to include wider context.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Were there any talented Nazi filmmakers, writers, or musicians who are overlooked for being on the wrong side of history.

I thought about this while watching RACE on Netflix and it also made me think of the Nazi filmmaker in Inglorious Bastards.

Edit: wording

It seems since they used all cavalry armies they would be very mobile but lack standing power. Cavalry is bad at defense. How did the Mongols held dedicated enemy attacks at bay? Feigning for long periods may cause the enemy to attack your camp (as happened in manzikert) and cause loss of precious resources for the campaign.

I've read about how each horseman would have 3 replacement horses and all that but how would they keep such a massive number of horses fed?

I'm curious as to what exactly is thought by historians to have caused Christianity to survive the onslaught of the Viking invasion? one would imagine that paganism would have triumphed or at least survived alongside Christianity but it seems to have been snuffed out rather quickkly as Vikings adopted Christianity.

Is there a good explanation of how this came about? major events or pivotal decisions that caused it?

Thank you in advance
