Considering that political correctness was non-existent at the time, there must be a different motive.

I've always been a fan of Viking history, and I was just curious if there was any strife and/or conflict between pagan Vikings and newly-converted Christian vikings, and to what extent their beliefs conflicted, as well as how they settled any differences.

Did pagan Vikings detest the early forms of Christianity as it slowly crept into their culture? Did pagan Vikings have a disdain for fellow Vikings who converted? Was there any blood shed over these conflicting beliefs?

Additional [optional] question: Did early Christian converts attempt to merge certain aspects of the older belief systems to appeal to pagan Vikings in an attempt to make conversion easier?

Thank you, and I apologize if I've asked too many questions and/or worded them poorly.

Often when discussing the diets of people in the past, the focus is on the 'raw' foods themselves (i.e. grains, fish, certain vegetables, etc). Not much attention is given to actual preparation or particular styles of cooking. While this would be influenced by what was available, cuisines can vary greatly between different civilisations.

So how would the Rhomaion have prepared their meals? Was there a particular 'style'?

I'm curious as to how this is done. War is no joke, and surely the argument could be made that the study of culture and art is more important?

I'm not trying to bash on military history, I find the armor and weapons fascinating due to the craftsmanship that goes into it. But I was reading Greek Ways by Bruce Thornton and this subject came up.

Wouldn't it have saved the United states a whole lot of time, resources, and bodies if they just made an agreement with the North Vietnamese to split at the 17th parallel like the North and South Koreans did at the 38th parallel?

I hope I'm not breaking the rules here. I'm not trying to push holocaust denialism here. I'm just curious what the response is to this claim. It's a very convenient argument for deniers, because it's hard to disprove. Is the evidence against it essentially that the rebuilt chambers are in fact accurate representations? Or is there other direct evidence that the chambers were used for killing people, rather than other claims like killing bugs in clothes?

Again, I'm not trying to push an agenda, and I hope I'm not breaking any rules. I see the overwhelming evidence supporting the fact that the holocaust happened, and the weakness in deniers' methods and arguments. But this was a peculiar case that I found interesting.

How much money did the beaver pelt trade make? I always learnt in my history classes that the backbone of the economy of New France was the beaver pelt trade, and I was told it was to make hats. But that could not compare to tobacco, gold, cotton, rum and other goods the rest of the colonies in the New World relied on, could it?

Hi everyone I read an article on how the use of the number 0 became popular, it's origins and what it could offer to mathematicians. But I wondered how did they write numbers with zeros in them ?

As i'm not from Central Europe i do not really know what was going on with European Ethnicities. And as my nation is kind of "unique", if you could say (I mean that we do not fall under a specific category as Germanic/Latin etc.), it's a bit weird to have all these different tribes in Europe.

So first of all that's what i know which MAY (100%) be WRONG: Celtic people: First inhabitants of British Isles - (You could call them as the home grone british that also lived in that little part of France) Anglosaxons: North Germanic tribe that moved to southern England but did not really have an effect on the population - But a big effect on the language. Nordic - Vikings - Normands (Call them what ever you want): Vikings that wanted to conquer Britain but didn't have a big impact as well. Romans - Italians - "Latins?": Mainly language effect as the romans didnt really populate other areas except for Romania.

So is any of this correct or am I completely wrong? (Please do not start saying each name of the native british tribes, as they should have small cultural differences) Thanks :D

PS: Please do not be offended, this is a sub-reddit in order to learn history properly. I'm not implying any racial dominace any other nation/race. Also sorry for my English.

Following the Wannsee Conference in 1942, as I understand it, the full institutional weight of Hitler's Germany was put behind the effort to systematically displace and murder the Jews of Europe. Putting aside the logistics of that specific endeavor for a moment, has anyone ever written about the legal nightmare that must have followed in the wake of so many Jewish persons just disappearing? How did civic, non-military courts deal with all of the marital, property, and business disputes that surely came up as a result?

I don't mean to boil this down to the mundane, or downplay the tragedy of the Holocaust, but looking at the event from a strictly legal/bureaucratic point of view, how did the courts of Germany and their occupied territories deal with the dissolution of marriages, transfers of property, settlement of estates of the Jews? Whatever laws that robbed the Jews of their civic rights couldn't have applied to non-Jews who they might have been married to, acted as trustees to their estates, co-owned businesses, etc, right? Were the courts flooded with disputes of this kind after 1942?

Everyone seems to think that what happened with the rise of Hitler and the eventual Holocaust could never happen in many developed western countries, but as a Muslim living in the US under Trump, I fear that it could be a possibility. I am wondering if the same idea seemed so far-fetched in the beginning of Hitler's rule and when Jews and other groups started to come under real danger?

I have a digital photo of my 3rd Great Grandmother that I'd like to know more about. Specifically if the type of clothing she wears is typical or something cultural?

Also if this isn't the right subreddit for this kind of question, I apologize in advance. I will remove it if needed and any suggestions on how to get the question answered would be invaluable. Thanks!
