Someone said without a source on another forum that for example Norse gods were seen as Roman gods with different names. (Just an example, idk if there was any contact at the time between Norse people and Rome, or even if Norse-identifying people or gods existed in 100BC.) How did society react to the newly captured religious influences, and how did the great writers of the time consider the holy men of what could be described as pagan cultures? How were foreign gods thought of by Romans?

Additionally, was it Hitlers idea, and why did he choose it?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you never saw the same sort of religious conflict you would see in the west before europeans arrived

How would you start the process? How did they evaluate student's academic potential? Were there class restrictions or could anyone with enough ability be accepted?

Here are some pictures: In my excitement to post this, I realized I didn't edit the photos properly, will post fixed link Monday!

I am more than happy to give a link so you can download the OBJ, PLY, STL, or whatever you'd like. I believe the STL may be best, simply because the artifact seems to be more legible without the texture.

Thank you in advance, I hope this post conforms to the rules here, I know this isn't the typical kind of question that is posed.

I see it frequently claimed that the Americans, British, and French raped just as many occupied Germans as the Soviets did. But I researched it and the only source I found to claim that was a German professor named Gebhardt. Her main source was the records of Bavarian Priests, but one article which mentioned her said that her evidence was not substantive enough. Admittedly I didn't spend a long time researching so I could have missed some evidence supporting Gebhardt. What do you know?

In classic Warner Bros. cartoons, it wasn't uncommon to see a specific set of major faces from the period, mostly with girls swooning over 'Frankie,' but Bing Crosby, Al Jolson, Charlie Chaplin, and Bob Hope seem to have appeared in them with some frequency. These often included parodies of their acts. One would occasionally see other 'cameos' of sorts with Cary Grant and others, but those five seem to have been the most prevalent.

Fast forward to the era of Hanna-Barbera and even the revival of Warner Bros. animation, and with the exception of special appearances (e.g., the Globetrotters), you don't see much in the way of contemporary faces except for the rare, mostly static shot.

Is this due to a change in image control, or were Sinatra and the others such oversized stars that no one else ever matched up?

I've been arguing with a Republican about the Southern Strategy and they've said that they refuse to believe "the parties switched" unless I can provide the names of 10 Dixiecrats who became Republicans. I've looked online but the only names I've found are Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms. Who were some other Dixiecrat politicians that ended up becoming Republicans?

This question is probably really debatable and a bit anachronistic. I've loved Thomas Jefferson since I was a kid and have read most of his works (letters, notes on Virginia, etc). I've been thinking about it again and found a great piece on JSTOR on this topic that I highly agree with.

He seemed to have wanted an agrarian paradise with strong states rights, local government, made up of independent yeomen farmers who owned their own land. This quite different than what happened. We industrialized and cities grew. Most people began to be paid in wages.

Don't get me wrong, he's definitely a classical liberal. Life, liberty, property and all that. But his ideal seemed to be that every free man owned his own property.

It's pretty clear that Jefferson didn't think highly of wage labor or cites. He was opposed to slavery in principle but we all know he continued owning slaves.

Was he a sort of liberal anti-capitalist (if that's a thing)? Or do you think this question is anachronistic and pointless? What's your opinion?

I am specifically interested in the way that Democratization in eroded the influence of hereditary nobility in Western and Central Europe. Of particular interest to me are the territories of the former Austria-Hungary and of the German Empire. An interesting side topic could be any differences in the process between the Socialist DDR and the Democratic/Capitalist BRD.

I find on Reddit after a confederate flag is shown comments are usually about how racist the South was and how progressive the North was during the civil war. But there's never a mention of racism in the North during the time.

Was the North really that progressive? Or was it just as bad as the south minus slavery?

What was the economic crisis Spain was going through in WW1? Is that the reason why it remained neutral.

The amendment:

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

From what I've read in Prisoners of War and Their Captors in World War II ed. by Moore and Fedorowich, large numbers of French colonial troops, namely Senegalese and North African Arabs, fought in the Battle of France. Many were subsequently captured by the Germans with large numbers being shot, (up to 500 in Erquinvillers mid 1940 alone). Did these colonial troops have a large presence on the beach? Or were they predominantly relegated to guard the rear, and if so would that explain why so many were captured?
