Hey guys, I am an English teacher in the Netherlands. In a few weeks the topic-week will be about racism. I have prepared a couple of novels and poems about racism throughout the ages. Now I was wondering if you know of any speeches by the Allied Powers against Hitler's racism. Could you kind people help me out here?

As in the civilians of Britain during 1939-1945, were there any british born Indians or Asians? If so, where in england would they have been located and how would they have been treated?

Any links/books/films/resources to learn more on the subject would be really appreciated, Cheers

the Teutonic Knights were essentially Roman Catholic Crusaders sent to colonise the Pagan Lithuanian Slavic lands. So, why was it that they later laid the foundations for a Prussian state, that had embraced Protestantism, when their forefathers were strict Catholics who wanted to convert/eradicate the Pagan Slavs of Lithuania.

It’s very well known Germany suffered from a lack of tanks, airplanes, motorized equipment, etc., after the beginning of Barbarossa. My question is, did Germany ever face a shortage of infantry weapons and ammunition for them?

For being easy to train with, why were they never a mainstay of war in Europe?

When Qin shihuang conquored china, he put in place a legalistic system where bueracrats ruled china and brought the former noble families to his capital. There he kept them under house arrest and basically paid for whatever expences they wanted to keep living as nobles. Why? It's morbid, but logically, it would make sence in both an attempt to save money and to prevent possible nobles from rising up against him in the future to just kill them. Whats more, considering the amount of bloodshed he used to kill enemy armies and sack cities, it would make sense to throw the nobles he conquered onto the metaphorical firepit of corpses he created. So why didn't he?

I just don’t understand.

Hey guys, I'm doing a history project to answer this question^. Tbh I'm having a hard time finding good sources and frankly, answering this question. Can someone please help me out? I decided to do my project based on this topic as I felt there were many similarities between the Pullman Strike and the Boston Tea party. Please correct me if I am wrong. Btw I am in Grade 11. Thank you in advance!

Recently an update to the popular Paradox game Hearts of Iron IV features an alternate path for Germany involving a monarchist Wehrmacht executing a coup to stop Hitler. To what extent would something like this be possible? I'm familiar with the plots to assassinate Hitler that occurred late in the war, and that many German officers of the elite were uncomfortable with Hitler from the very beginning, but would they have been staunch Prussian style monarchists?

Jamestown was the first successful American colony. Yet the settlement never really developed. Many other settlements developed into successful cities. Such as New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Plymouth, and Charles Town. Just to name a few. Yet, nothing really happened with Jamestown. The settlement is pretty much the same as it was 400 years ago. Same buildings and everything. Why is that?

The Council of Constance managed to successfully select a reunion pope that solved the Schism, but the earlier Council of Pisa only added a third pope to the problem. Why was it so unsuccessful?

I just randomly remembered the tale after not thinking about it since 5th grade. I did some googling, and all I can find is that he was a popular take with loggers; mostly rumored to be born in Michigan; and his name was likely French Canadian originally. Is there any record of a man named that existing, or any theories as to how the myth came to be? Especially in regards to his blue ox.
