I was thinking about this when I was watching The Butler. The film showed some white people helping. Was this common? How did racists treat them? How did more radical black movements such as Malcolm X or the Black Panthers view them? Were any prominent civil rights leaders white people that wanted to help?

As per title. I was previously unaware of the "Out of India" theory of pre-historic human expansion. Is it credible? What happened to the Indo-Aryan Expansion/Invasion theory that discredited it?

This entire thing was brought to my attention by a substitute history professor in my college World History class. After what little research I did on the topic I couldn't find any clear answers.

I have been looking into the history of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and other CA countries but I'm not finding much about them. The only major facts I have learned are that this region was important to the silk road and came under Russian domination in the 18th and 17th century. This gives me the impression that not much has happened in this over the past few thousand years, but that seems unlikely considering these places have decent populations today. They have low population density, but not that low (Kazakhstan's is higher than Canadas and Uzbekistan's is even higher than Mexicos.) So, are these areas really not that important historically or am I just looking in the wrong places?

I know there are a few different schools of thought as to how ancient greeks actually fought their battles (giant shoving match, "pulse" method, etc), but it seems like most theories revolve around the idea of a cohesive shield-wall, bristling with pikes being presented to the enemy and far fewer actual deaths than you'd think.

How did this change in the high middle ages as full plate armor became more common, shields became less common and weapons became more diversified (swords, pole-arms, maces, etc.)? To me it seems like medieval combat would be much more disorganized and frantic that combat between two ancient greek phalanxes.

My understanding is that the majority of nuclear warheads were intended for use in cities. Was this true for the US as well as the USSR? What about smaller nuclear powers with smaller arsenals, such as the UK?

EDIT: also Harry S. Truman, I forgot him

I'm mostly talking about the Maghreb here since Egypt is a bit more complex.

I'm sure most of you have heard the numerous theories about " the moors ".

The problem with this theory is that short of a genocide + massive migration waves, i dont see how you can explain the drastic change in phenotype.

So music, at least in the form of drums and basic horns, has been part of the equation almost as long as humanity has found reasons to fight. It helps coordination, flow of information, and even esprit de corps.

But I also recognize that much of the popular conception of martial music(and mine as well) is an almost exclusively Eurocentric one, with some room carved out for Ottoman contributions.

But what about the Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or other SE Asian battlefields?

I just finished the Ancient Assyria: A very short introduction. I was hoping I would find some other books in the bibliography, but in fact I found too many. Now I can't decide where to begin. Could you give me an advice?

EDIT: Every era of the empire interests me, so that doesn't narrow down my choices.

And college isn't really in the cards for me.

What video series / podcasts cover American History? I've only found a lot of History Channel style documentaries, that are very sensationalized.

What kind of God(s) would Hannibal pray to? Was it a pantheon of gods, just like in Greece and Rome?

I'm writing an essay on this, and I would like some information and sources on these.

By "average," I mean the German who was not a Nazi and not a Jew. Were they persecuted? Were they fearful? Were they just content to let bad things happen? Did they not really think that things were as bad as they were?

I've never heard of it throughout high school and haven't gone over it in my American history II. Just trying to get an overview of what this event in history is all about.
