I guess mostly focused on E and SE Asia, as I'm well aware of the Muslim conquests and various caliphates in Western Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Europe was marked by religious violence for much of its pre-modern era, culminating in the 30 years war and slowly tapering off, although still prevalent. Did eastern and south eastern Asia ever experience anything similar?

Hitler's actual successor, Karl Doenitz, was pointedly not given the status of fuhrer, but only president of the Reich. But suppose things had gone to plan for the Nazis. If the Reich was meant to last a thousand years, and the Reich needed a Fuhrer, was the plan for future rulers to have equal status to Hitler?

That’s how the story goes, but do we have any proof?

Even the massive empires like the Ottoman, Safavid, Moghul, and Qing were constantly fighting, either with each other or with other smaller powers near them. The only example of military innovation I can think of is the rapid adoption of firearms by the Safavids after their disastrous defeat at the hands of the Ottomans in Chaldiran (1514).

In the film "Munich - The Edge of War", the ending of the film talks about how the Conference bought the British and French time to build up for the war. However, as we see early in the war, the Allied performance is lacking. The Fall of France, the evacuation of Dunkirk, the failed Greek expedition, several defeats in North Africa. Furthermore, as far as I know, Chamberlain and his government were hesitant to implement rearmament. British and French forces performed relatively poorly, and as we saw after Dunkirk, the Brits were really struggling since they didn't have any major stockpiles of rifles to call on. This has led me to believe that this statement is a false one.

So here is my question. How important was the Munich Conference? Did the time it bought really have that much of an impact on the War? And how much did the Allies actually build up in the year or so between the Conference and the outbreak of hostilities?

I have heared several times thst Julius Ceasar has read the book "the art of war" is that true?

I address this dilemma to historians and anthropologists. Is it or is it not beneficial to colorize archival photographs using artificial intelligence? When I first discovered this possibility it all seemed beneficial, but after reading more I also saw ethical challenges. I am interested in the perspective of historians and anthropologists, and I am looking for further literature recommendations.

I am reading A Distant Mirror by Barbara Tuchman about the 1300s in Europe. In the late part of the century after a tax rebellion in Paris, the king is negotiating his return to Paris, and demands that" the people lay down their arms, open the gates, and leave the street chains down at night so long as the king was in the city." What were these chains? Did they have everyday uses? How did they threaten the king?

Considering the fact that D.C is so close to Virginia, which was after all where the capital of the Confederacy was. Lee's army was the Army of Northern Virginia and managed to penetrate into Pennsylvania, so why didn't they just attack the capital directly? Obviously they would have if they could, so why couldn't they?

There had to be people who built up a charge and shocked someone else from time to time - what did people think of this?

I want to learn and know what is acceptable as the real history of Jesus of Nazareth. I'm not a believer at all, but I do understand his importance in history. Also if he did not existed was is the evidence surrounding that? Etc? Maybe there are books I could read about it (feel free to recommend books in Spanish, French, English or Latin although the later one is not my forte).

I've seen the images of eunuchs only in Asian period drama. In China, eunuchs played a significant role in politics (and it's a trope that when eunuchs have too much power, that's the time when the dynasty is falling apart)

Places like Persia or Turkey perhaps have had eunuchs, I heard.

But I've never seen such images in either Western or Eastern Europe history.

Did Europe (either Western or Eastern) ever have eunuchs?

Hello historians,

Ive been choosen to arrange a special gym class for tommorow and i choose to do something original like Medieval Knight Training. Iam here to ask what for historactally accurate training exercises i could make other students do in a school gymclass and what for tools would i need for those things ?

Surely the indigenous people of the region scaled Everest before Hillary or even possibly Mallory?

Expeditions took a guide. I'm assuming the guide therefore knew the way.

Is there any evidence, even in folklore?

(We've been watching a documentary on the discovery of Trafford Leigh-Mallory and it just seems strange no one thought to scale it before)

I would like to purchase the two Eddas in an edition which includes the original text as well. As someone who knows Old Norse, I'm more interested in the original text rather than in any translation.

If no such edition is available, I would value a lot any edition with a good commentary apparatus.

Do you have any recommendations?

i know that we are talking about 3.8 millions years ago, but its still history right? my question is: during the time where Lucy (the Australopithecus) was alive, how much australipithecus was there? i made all the research i could but i didnt find anything about this argument.
