I'm writing a term paper on whether or not settler colonialism led to the genocide of Native Americans. Is there any example of this in the 1900s? My teacher mentioned something about reservations in Oklahoma, but I don't understand what he meant by that. I would really appreciate some examples and sources (if possible).

I know US soldiers coveted a Luger as a war souvenir but on the German side did they covet the US 1911 as a war souvenir.

How much did he know before he made that statement? Especially within 10 years?

And if so how could they justify seceding if they were still voting

Seems like it could have literally been anything. Fruits, vegetables, any meat. How did bacon and eggs end up being what we think of as the typical US breakfast?

Playing Assassin's Creed Origins, I noticed in Faiyum town criers declaring the segregation of the Greek ruling class and the poor Egyptians, who were to be confined to slums. Beyond the typical divide between the wealthy and poor, was there official ethnic segregation at any time under the Ptolemaic dynasty?

Jean Jacques Rousseau writes in his 'Social Contract' about jugglers in Japan; We are told that the jugglers of Japan dismember a child before the eyes of the spectators; then they throw all the members into the air one after another, and the child falls down alive and whole. The conjuring tricks of our political theorists are very like that; they first dismember the Body politic by an illusion worthy of a fair, and then join it together again we know not how." This was found in Chapter 2 of Book II. Did such jugglers really exist? If so, how did they do what they did?

Does anyone have any information about the life of upper class Irish people in the late iron age (circa 200-400 a.d)? I've read a source that says wealthy houses in this time were in a figure of 8 shape, had plastered walls and were made of solid wood planks rather than wickerwork, is this accurate? Thanks in advance. Any information on clothing and the chariots of the time would be very useful.

Just google Louis XVII, you find nothing about him

We are taught to think that soldiers going over the top in the trenches would have been mowed down straight away.

However many must have survived and continued for multiple over the tops.

Or am I being naive and in fact soldiers would only go over once before they were killed / injured

I can’t imagine anybody ever wanting to go near a trench after going over the top just once

I've been reading up on the Ottoman Empire, and many sources attribute their many military successes (at least partially) to their advanced artillery and inclusion of firearms. However, the sources I've read have sort of glossed over how the Ottomans developed their artillery.

Can anyone shed some light on where they got their firearm technology and how they integrated it so well into their military?

So with the recent South African controversy I've seen it repeated quite a few times on reddit, in highly upvoted comments, that the current black population of South Africa aren't native to the land, but that they arrived much later (even later than the Dutch and English did) and ethnically cleansed the original native population. Some go as far as to say that as there are no remaining "original natives" of South Africa, the white people are the real natives.

However, when I decided to do a quick research on Google, I couldn't find anything on the subject.

How much truth is there in that?

Hello! I am hoping to find a great resource that documents the the succession of kings during the time of Babylon and Medo-Persia. Hoping to find an up-to-date chronology that is recognized as being definitive as possible by scholars of that historic era.

Thank you for your suggestions!

I consider myself a decently knowledgeable person in American history from 30’s to the 80’s. As I watch these mini docs, some stuff I can recognize, others I am learning about for the first time, and some have changed my perspective as to how things actually happened. So far, I believe 100% of it, but I know that Oliver Stone is well-known for putting a lot if opinionated material in his films. Although I feel like this series would be different given its a documentary-based series, I still feel like some stuff has the potential to be wrong.

The Ancient Egyptians didn't just mummify their dead human ancestors, they also mummified animals - in their millions. It's possible up to 70 million animals were mummified and then buried in underground catacombs at over thirty sites across Egypt!

Contrasting the two poets named with illustrations like Bruce Bairnsfather's cartoons and H.L. Oakley's silhouettes, it seems that the poets' opinion was not the only one, with them taking a very cynical view, including of their commanders, whereas the illustrators seem to have been more 'stiff upper lip' about it all. Given how Owen and Sassoon were quite literate (presumably) compared to other troops during the war, how far can we actually say that others in the army were of the same opinion about their commanders and the war around them?

In “Storm of Steel” by Ernst Junger, he frequently mentions the diverse and strange sounds made by incoming artillery fuses. What exactly was he hearing?

For people living in Ethiopia (and arguably africa) the victory of adwa was a great achievement in which an African country was able to defeat a strong European power (Italy) in a decisive battle and maintain its independence.

In Ethiopia the the victory day is annually celebrated and is regularly taught in schools. Several plays, stories and articles have been published in order to instill its significance. As an Ethiopian I have been curious as how to citizens of countries react to our holiday-ish

TLDR; Ethiopians consider the victory of adwa a big deal. How do other countries feel about it.

First time posting anything

Even today, New York and Chicago are filled with buildings from the era, a wholly American distinction. Why were the architects of the day not plying their trade in Europe?
