He was the commander of the city garrison that brought down the Beer Hall Putsch. I know that hitler later made the men that died into state martyrs and had a rememberance day for the failed revolution.

My question is did he stay in power during the nazi regime? Did he retire? Generally just what happned to the man in between the moment hitler took power and the moment that Jakob Ritter von Danner died in 1942.

I am looking for all current information on the man Muhammad that most historians can agree with. I have a family member that is 100% certain that Isis is mimicking the lifestyle that Muhammad lived and keeps repeating that Muhammad was a violent, terrible human even by the standards of those days. My first stop was Wikipedia but it became even more confusing and now I'm not sure if Muhammad ever lived. In a perfect answer, I would love to be guided to a webpage that only contained facts that historians have carefully curated, so I can set history straight in my head. Thank you for reading this.

Hello, I'm an absolute beginner in studying WW2 and that's why I'm here. After watching Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan I've been obsessed with the War. Unfortunately, I don't know where to start my journey. I need some recommendations. I would like to start off with a nice big overview of the war. What are some good books in that category? What should I read after an overview? My main interest is the war in the western front so that's where I want to focus my research. Thanks for the help in advance!

Curious about Carolingian names in general. How did such revered kings (at least among the nobles of Francia) gain such irreverent names including fat, bald, simple, hunchback, stammerer, and blind. Further to my main question how did the name Louis the German come around, since he would become king of East Francia, which would later become Germany? If it's somehow easier to answer, where did the phrase of German originate from?

Edit: I've had the sudden epiphany that German as a word comes from the Germanic label from the Roman Latin world, so with that in mind. Were Germanic groups at this time a cultural/ethic feature? Did people recognize what it meant to be "German" if so were these particular cultural traits definitive enough to see someone and say, "oh hey that guy there, he is defs a German"? Could this be enough to look at Louis the Pious' son and say, "wow he's such a German" and baddabing baddaboom we have Louis the German?

Edit 1.5: Quick theory blasting here, I was curious if maternal connection may have also caused Louis' name. From limited research (I don't have time to dig through my Universities database), Louis the German's mother was Ermengarde daughter of Ingerman, Count of Hesbaye. Now Hesbaye is a region of southern Belgium and with my limited knowledge on ethnic makeup at the time I would assume this region was still largely populated by Germanic groups making Louis and dear ol' mom of German decent. Now as other Carolingian's have names based on more obvious traits this may imply a lack of an outstanding quality to Louie the G at least before his more popular name is picked up. As a result of his ordinariness and his heritage it seems like a likely place to start on his name. Now I don't have time to dig for academic sources on this so I would love for someone who actually knows what they're talking about to come and theorize with me.

I read recently that the hot peppers characteristic of Sichuan cuisine likely came from Mexico and realized that I had never heard any other examples of New World crops reaching Asia. How quickly did settlers decide to exchange these new resources with nations such as China? Was it immediate, or did it take a while for things such as corn, tomatoes, pumpkins to be introduced?

Furthermore, was the impact felt? Would the average Chinese person know about brand new foods being introduced to their region?

Considering that they were not considered Americans at the time, why would we use the term African-Americans? I'm just curious as to what the best term would be since African and Black also seem to be too general. Thanks ahead of time!

Edit: I know I used the word black slaves in the title, my confusion is seeping through...

I was wondering if y'all had any specific information on the 507th's role (specifically G Company), as part of Operation Neptune. The research I've done has turned up some basic stuff, but nothing major. What kind of specific objectives was his regiment tasked with capturing? Were any men in G Company awarded medals?

There's a game that came out (Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice) whose main character is a Celtic warrior during the Viking Age, and it's heavily implied that she's pagan. Were there any pagans left in Europe at this time?

My impression is that historically national flags around the globe were much more varied, but over time they’ve shifted towards simple tricolours.

Is my impression correct and if so why has this happened?

Did the Americans have the ability to bomb railroad tracks in order to disable concentration camps during WW2? If so, would it have any effect on the mass murder of Jewish people? (My Honors English instructor said this would have been sufficient to render the camps inoperable for the rest of the war.)

I’m interested in the history of Genoa and Venice, and I’ve noticed that the governments seem to have sponsored trade. Did they have their own trade ships? Or did they just make money off of taxation?

According to images I've seen and commentary I've heard, it would seem that swords end up being used in a way they were never designed to be ( like with half swording and the murder stroke ) or fights with swords would devolve into wrestling and bashing heads in - yet they still evolved and remained in use.

Why would someone train with and use a sword when they were nearly useless against the armor of the time? Why didn't everyone switch over to blunt weapons?

Edit: some grammar

(I’m not sure when the biography was written however the writer lived from 840-912ce)

I had to read his biography of Charlemagne for class last year and this has been bothering me ever since. He continually describes corruption within the Catholic Church including non-celibate bishops, lying monks, etc. Seeing how the Catholic Church cracked down on others who criticized it, why did this text survive? Since I’ve only read the biography and I haven’t done much research on the author himself I may be missing some information, but the book did not mention any negative repercussions from its creation.

Another question I would have going with this topic is how did the Catholic Church decide what works were heretical and needed to be destroyed during the middle ages?

If I asked a room full of people, of any age, to draw me a picture of a Pirate- they would all look nearly the same- a derivation of hooks, eyepatches, beards, earrings and gold teeth, black hats with a skull and cross bones, parrots on the shoulders, saying 'Arrrr' while perched on boats with a chests of gold.

Why and when did this become the standard trope of a pirate?

Seems most other nations adopted semi-auto rifles as their infantry weapon of choice rather quickly, however Germany retained the Kar98k despite having access to semi-auto rifles? Was it due to their reliability, or maybe due to how commonplace they were?
