I'm assuming, of course, that the place was built after the war. I don't know if armies already keep some fields for veterans, specially because you don't know how big the war would be, and if you can bring all the bodies back.
I know very little of American History, but I got curious in this aspect, I hope someone knows!

Here's a generic map of the general historical cultural sphere of India from Wikipedia: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Hinduism_Expansion_in_Asia.svg/1920px-Hinduism_Expansion_in_Asia.svg.png Heavy sea based spread into SE Asia, which makes sense. Despite religious diffusion no spread into China, but the mountains and strong China make this understandable. The lack of direct Western spread also makes sense with the strong Persian and successor states. But why no oceanic spread west to mimic east?
We know routes are reliable to Africa. We know the trade was valued. To a layman government or cultural strength in Africa or Arabia doesn't seem stronger than in SE Asia.. where are the Ethiopian Buddhists? Where are the elephant mounted equivalent of the Huns or Mongols sweeping north into central Asia?

Would the church, or the feudal Lord, decide to start one? Where would they get the nuns or monks from - would people transfer from existing ones, or would everyone be new?
I'm fairly familiar with the history of some 20th century religious communities and how they were founded, so I'm interested in how that compares to the administrative legwork for founding them historically. (I was mostly thinking of the Middle Ages, but to be honest I'm interested in any time period.)

I just read about Elie Wiesel's death, and how he was born in Sighetul Marmatiei, Romania, and was sent with his father to Auschwitz.
My question is, how did that happen? To me, as a Romanian, the implications are shocking. Did we... willingly ship Jews to Auschwitz? And perhaps an even bigger question: is there an important part of our history that is NOT being taught in schools? I have never heard of anything that even remotely hints at this in school.
Just to clarify, I am NOT questioning whether any of this happened. I am just trying to understand whether there is a part of our history that I have not been taught in school.

This might be an obvious question, but after watching this video, visualizing the loss of life in the war, I was curious as to how citizens found in themselves the sense of civic duty^1 to stand by their nations in the face of such horrific violence; how were there not massive revolts?

Much as we judge other countries for their human rights abuses, considering that many European countries had banned slavery before the US did, what did the British/French/Germans etc think about the American practice of slavery? Also my assumption is that America was unique in shipping people FROM Africa TO the US, contrary to the overseas colony approach of many western nations. Is that true? I posted this to r/history first but figured this would be a more appropriate sub.

The bible claims that a large number of Jews:
were slaves in Egypt
were treated harshly
escaped
and miracles/plagues were performed along the way.
Is any of this supported by sources other than the bible or archeology? If so which claims.
If the answer is no, would this be unusual if these events actually happened? It seems odd to me that no one would leave any artifacts with Hebrew on them on a cross content journey and no Egyptian record would make note of events this unusual and important.

The US witnessed the red scare in the post-war era. Given the US dominance in the post-war Japanese politics and the US concerns about the spread of communism in Asia, why didn't the GHQ outlaw the Japanese Communist Party?

As of 2012 according to Wikipedia there is 54.9% of people in the world are that of Abrahamic Religion (Christianity, Islam, Judaism). Given that high of a percentage of people in the world that believe in stories that vary slightly, there must be some truth in it. So I was wondering if there was any nonreligious historical evidence of these people existed.

Hi all and thank you in advance. I am having trouble putting my finger on Madison and the motives behind his political ideals. Any insight on how Jefferson may have influenced his political decision making would be greatly appreciated.

The attacks in Beach Haven, Spring Lake, and Matawan Creek were a media sensation and largely the inspiration for Jaws. What was the public's relationship with sharks prior to this? Were they a well known predator to the public prior to this? Or did the media make them villains in 1916?
