what was the role of women that were in the mongol empire, was this a hunter/gatherer society or were women more respect.

It was suggested that I ask this in the Historians reddit...

Where did the Generals/Admirals at the top of the U.S. command structure meet to discuss overall WW2 planning for both European and Pacific theaters (resource allocation, etc)? I know FDR had a map room, but did the Pentagon brass meet there?

I'm aware that these political trends are often recent (for example, Quebec and the Quiet Revolution). It just seems like a strange alignment among francophone countries and regions.

The only context in the song is "long, long ago" - I'm assuming early 1900s or Victorian Era? When did scary stories become a part of the Christmas celebration - how - and when did it die out? Furthermore, is "A Christmas Carol" a reflection of this, or just a standalone story?

I know that Sahagún was one of the first to move towards a more understanding viewpoint in which christian documents were translated to various native languages. But was there a set process that priests generally followed in their attempts to convert the native people? And what role did violence play in the conversion of natives

Isn't it forbidden to depict God, as stated in the Ten Commandments? Especially since Michelangelo's works such as the "Creation of Man" are inside of a religious building. How was this allowed in the time of Michelangelo?

Same question for the 1701 Union Jack. Did they the government agencies immediately get the new flag or is it something that took them many years?

My virology professor just made the claim that an exodus from Philadelphia due to the 1793 (and subsequent) yellow fever epidemics contributed significantly to D.C. being chosen as the capital of the USA. How much truth is there behind this?

I find it hard to think you can invade so much land and territory without loyal allies and friendly nations to aid you. As the Mongol Empire conquered so much land, was everybody their enemy or do they have friendly nations to rely with?

How was their daily life like? How did they become gladiators? How would their families be affected by their jobs? What was their typical demographic?

I assume when the weapons became outdated they were probably melt and forged into tools. Museums mostly have weapons and armor which are found from the ground and they are rusted and in dreadful state. There were probably millions of weapons and armor produced during the medieval ages, so are they really mostly gone for good? Were they not stored or kept somewhere like we do now with WW2 weapons for example?

Considering their past history of colonisation, it would have only made sense for them to join the Scramble, so why did they not?

The question has been on my mind for quite some time, what is the etymological root or plainly the reason for having almost the same name? What do these names mean? I always believed Iraq came from Uruk but googling it just tells me Uruk was in modern day Iraq

Why does European history seem to omit Al-Andalus?

Between 700-1500 we have a lot of stories about interactions between the French, English, Italian and German states, Austria etc through war trade etc. Why is Al-Andalus seemingly absent?

Did they interact with other European states?

Why didn't they invade France/react during the Crusades? Were there Andalusian ambassadors to European states and vice versa?

We have plenty of records of Ottoman-European wars, alliances, trade, cultural exchanges, why don't there seem to be any with Al-Andalus?

I am tasked with writing a research paper on how John Muir is relevant to the modern U.S.. Problem is that I had never heard of the guy prior to getting the assignment and I'm not sure where to even begin with this. What books should I start reading? what would even be considered a primary source for that type of paper? Is a primary source a newspaper from now because the question is "relevant to the modern U.S.? Or would the primary source be something written when he was alive? Sorry if asking about school papers isn't allowed.

Like did they have special people who are great at smithing?, did they gave them money and resources and employed them like workers now? Or were a private smith taking orders and crafting what they required? How they were able to make all of them same?
