I understand the full severity of the Holocaust and understand why it's shunned, but why does it stand out to be by far the most (and to a lot of people) and basically the only genocide shunned??

I see them described as 8 foot spears that were useful on horseback or on foot, but that's practically all I can find

I know that this question might seem silly, but you always hear about civil rights, and I don't recall ever hearing about rights in court. I'm sure it was different in each state, but did blacks lack access to the court system in the South?

In conjunction with our theme week, let's use Tuesday Trivia to talk about Native America and Native Americans (broadly defined) in the 20th century: people, politics, culture, interactions with American continental governments and a globalizing world.

The question popped up when a friend complained about "McMansions" and praised the Historic neighborhood I live in (Irvington, Indianapolis, IN). But as I drive through my neighborhood, the architecture varies only slightly between houses, about as much as current tract housing, in which owners can pick a floorplan, materials, and additional variances. I did some research and found Levittown, NY is the most famous example of this, but my home was built in 1934, years before Levittown was built. Although I can't find another house exactly like mine, there are others very similar. Also, there are other houses that are identical from street to street. So was the practice of building numerous houses from few plans normal? Was this just an instance of wanting your house to "fit in" when it was built? Or architects giving discounts to reuse old plans? Some combination? And most interesting to me (though perhaps outside the purview of this subreddit), why do people deride current tract housing while ignoring that this has been around for some time?

Should say "fresh waters and inlets..."

In restoring Juan Carlos I to the monarchy instead of his father Juan de Borbon, Franco must have had some reason to believe that Juan Carlos would continue his legacy. Why did that not end up being the case?

I'm sure the project was incrementally funded, but what were the upfront costs?

I know the South opposed it and the bill wasn't pushed through until after secession, but were there dissenting Union states? What about the border states?

During the reign of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II the Ottomans waged a campaign in Hungary from 1593 till 1606. During this war when Rudolph II gained control of Protestant towns he confiscated property and converted Protestant churches to Catholic churches.

Were similar acts of religious intolerence occuring in the Protestant territories conquered by the Ottoman Empire? Were the Protestants of Ottoman-occupied Hungary and Transylvania offered more/less religious freedom than those in the HRE?

Did they know about the dangers (even if they didn't know what CO was, specifically)? Are there reports of many people dying in the one place for no apparent reason?

And how did they work?

I am writing an essay on the effect of medical technology on the reduction of military deaths and i want to find stats on how the response time changed. (and create a graph for it)

Thanks for reading

I heard that they were first mentioned in Meng Yuanlao's Eastern Capitol: Dreams of Splendor but do we know anything about their history before that? And what exactly does "Open Door" mean in this context?

I'm interested in the humanities, but one thing I always have "justifying" to my friends and strangers is niche history, like 17th-century American toy history or medieval peasantry dress, especially when there are scholars who dedicate their entire lives to this. Granted, it's interesting, but what is its purpose and importance?

Watching Man in high castle...random thought as to how they treated their veterans.
