When i was a student back in high school in Mongolia, i remember that my teacher told us that Mongolia and Newly formed Republic of China fought against each other somewhere between 1913 to 1915. And as far as i remember, that war was no small border conflict, it is said that the Mongolian Army reached as far as the Great Wall. And it only ended when 1915 Khyagta (i know i spelt it wrong) Treaty ended the conflict between two sides. I took interest in this war lately, but the thing is, i searched it on the Internet and i found nothing. There is no sources about this war exept, of course, the Mongolian ones, not even a mention of this conflict. It can't be a fake war because if it is, it would be strange that it's on the school books and Inner Mongolians refer it as 1914 great revolt. And i'm asking that if anybody know about this war and if there is any wars like this one that is either not well known or completely forgotten. Thank you for your attention.

Is the human wave offensive a myth to demonize the Russians. Or was it actually a real thing. Provide a source w ur answer please.

Tag, Freunde

I am an undergraduate student who has read around 500 pages of German / Austrian literature (short stories, poems, book excepts, etc) and have found the romanticism of the oak tree to be prevalent in a lot of what I've read (texts going as far back as 1800.)

The oak tree seems to have more spiritual importance to the anglo saxon pagans, druids, and norse folk than it does to the Germanic people specifically. I know these groups mingle throughout history, and share a lot of similar spiritual beliefs, yet it strikes me that there should be more focusing on the proto-german / german people.

In Olympia, a propaganda film by Leni Riefenstahl, high scoring competitors in the Olympics receive an oak tree as a prize. On the back of certain denominations of the Euro coin, one will find a woman planting an oak tree. I also heard recently from my German professor that the early german people were believed to have descended from the oak tree, as opposed to Hesiod's theory of man being sculpted from clay.

These examples personally strike me as profound, and lead me to believe there is more to uncover than I already have.

I am trying to gather information about a strictly german connection with the oak tree. I understand "german" was a more linguistic distinction than a racial one for quite some time. It makes finding this information difficult. Am I on a wild goose chase?

I've just read an officer and a Spy, and I was really astonished at just how ridiculous certain aspects of the case were. Such as how Esterházy was actually already widely suspected of leaking documents to the Germans.

Surely sooner or later things would have unraveled? Even without Georges Picquart intervening?

The subculture around Norwegian black metal in the early 1990s was strongly associated with a string of arsons and murders. In that regard, it can be vaguely compared to hip-hop in the era of the East Coast/West Coast beef, but while there was a clear underpinning of ethnic and economic disenfranchisement there, it seems like the black metal inner circle emerged out of a socioeconomically comfortable background. What specific factors about early 90s Norway (if any) could have led to this wave of violence?

Had the Persian Army declined since Cyrus the Great?

The rest of the axis seemed to be purely under fascism. In fact, even non-actors like Spain were fascist. But Japan was a tad bit different. I doubt it could be called something like an imperialist monarchy just because of the nature of warfare at the time, and "imperialist" being an unjust term. On the otherhand, elements of fascism "Our nation/people used to be great, we need a rebirth of a new civilization to rid the scum that has maggotted away at our underbelly for years" doesn't seem rhetoric they would use. Were they are brand new form of non-fascist war ecnomy? If so, would an analysis lead them to be more or less dangerous than traditional fascism?

I've heard it used in some shows as a derogatory slang term towards Italians in shows like the Soprano's. What's the relationship between Italians and the word?

Was there something going on in the 1800s that was inspiring so much in Horror?

For example, when the US was at war with Germany and Japan could you join and choose to fight in either Europe or the Pacific, or was it allocated?

I'm asking mainly because I was recently forced to read Samuel Moyn's "The Last Utopia" for a grad course. I'm interested to see if there have been any recent major works that have directly engaged with/challenged his (somewhat hostile) revisionist history of HR.

I am currently studying the story of Arminius for a big history project where I get to choose my topic. I thought the whole story was fascinating, but now I'm pulling my hair out in frustration. I can't seem to find sources. Oh, I'm finding all the primary ones, Tacitus, Suetonius, Cassius Dio. I have access to those. But every time I find a database that has what seems to be everything I need, it's blocked off by a password, something that requires money or subscription or enrollment at a university. As I am a high school student, I cannot afford any of these at the moment, and I am getting really frustrated at thinking I'm getting something but stumbling upon yet another dead end. Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Expert opinions on the battle would be amazing as well.
