Post 1945 how has it effected each groups psyke? Obviously the holocaust is a major theme within Judaism as it specifically targeted one group of people for their religion. How has it effected other groups based on religion, race, physical/mental abilities or personal convictions?

Why is the Mongolian language, both spoken and written, is dramatically different from the Chinese language despite the two civilization's proximity? Yet the Chinese language's influence over the Korean and Japanese languages are evident.

In the reading I have been doing the Alemmani are often referred to as a germanic tribal confederacy made up to a significant degree of Suebians. I have seen the Macomanni referred to as a separate people who formed a superconfederacy with the Suebians and others. The Quadi are often talked about as migrating alongside the numerous Marcomanni or perhaps as a branch of the Suebi.

Can anyone provide some clarity on these seemingly overlapping venn diagrams of germanic people north of the Upper Rhine and Danube?

I can't wrap my head around the fact that the Persians (under Xerxes) lost the battles for Greece. Were the Persian soldiers just generally inferior? Wouldn't then the fact that the Persians had much higher numbers compensate for that fact?

Why is there such a substantial lack of historical scholarship on Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico between the 1st century BC and the 19th century?

There's suddenly a revived interest in his Comentarii in the twentieth century (with the likes of C.E Stevens, Rambaud, Adkock, J.H. Collins etc) yet there's a notable absence of any such scholarship before the turn of the 20th century. I was hoping someone could clear this up for me. Thanks!

My stepbrother uses a metal detector on lots of different farms around S.E. England. In the last four years he has found hundreds of thimbles which are mostly mass-produced 18th/19th century ones. There are older ones too, including some irregular hand-made medieval ones called beehives. Why are they there?
I'm also curious how you might research a question like this - I've turned up no hints on Google Books. Metal detecting forums contain various ideas, but all rather speculative.

For example, did pop culture from the 1930s see renewed interest in the 50s and 60s? I'm also talking about more than just fashion cycles. I mean other forms of media.

My main curiosity stems from the Canadians taking Juno, with the British on either side. It seems more beneficial to have a larger landing area for the British, that way if they needed more support then they could send them over from the other one, but with Canada in between they would have to ask the Canadians to do it, and go through another armies chain of command, but they obviously didnt do that. why not?

Seeing how much there has been talk about the reliability of ww2 tanks, I started to wonder wether modern tanks (1946-1996 for 20-year-rule reasons ofc) are more reliable than their ww2-equilevants? Is there even data enough for comparison as most post-war tanks (if not all) haven't been tested in as long and high-intensity conflict?

To me this is a very fascinating event that I think effects us even today. I'd like to know more about his assassination and it's myriad effects through out history.

Also curious, what was he like as a person?

Before the Industrial Revolution and the jobs that were created by factories and technological advancements, what did people do for work? In cities like New York, London, and Paris were there enough jobs to go around? Did everyone have a trade or special skill? Did people work seasonly for short periods of time?

Basically, what did people do in their day to day life and how did the economy function when there was less industry?
