And why did they ultimately stop to the 100 000 ton, four catapult CATOBAR, nuclear hulk with capacity for 90 aircraft? Why not go further?

I was just checking the maps and I don’t get it. Copper could be found in the Mideast. Tin not so. In fact, in the Bronze Age, the nearest tin available was in Spain (but up in Galicia). Now the Bronze Age got going around 3000 BC. There are n o records of the Phoenicians getting up that far at that time, in fact I don’t think they were even really up and running as city states. So who got the tin? The Minoans? Or was it that another alloy was used to make bronze stuff?

I read an article today which implied that Peter III pulled Russia out of the Seven Years' War just as they were on the verge of a big breakthrough. Is this analysis accurate? If so, what was the context of the withdrawal? What were the factors that influenced his decision?

I've heard many things about the history of the area in question, but I'm finding it very difficult to find reasonable reading.

I feel like I should add sub-questions with a narrower focus, but I'm really interested in anything that would pass muster in /r/AskHistorians related to those lakes or their environs before the 20th century. I suppose I could add that there's bonus points if you can point to an historical event that's linked to a current place name. I'm looking at you, Red Gut Bay.

Before Normandy was given to Rollo, do we know what Normandy was called? Who it was ruled by? What their House and lineage were? What happened to them when their lands were given to Rollo?

Thank you

I’m currently working on a research regarding the subject of crimes and criminals during the Middle Ages, and was wondering if there are any sources (such as Criminal Records or Death Certificates) available. If not, how were crimes recorded during the Middle Ages? How did they keep track of criminals?

I constantly see people on this subreddit asking questions surrounding Abrahamic religions.

The issue I have with that is these questions almost always are far better suited and would illicit much better responses from the users on /r/AcademicBiblical.

If mods banned those types of questions here, and redirected the OP's to /r/AcademicBiblical then we wouldn't be flooded with so many questions about things that could be much better answered on another subreddit, and we can focus more on other types of questions that are better answered here.

I was dealing with a real bureaucratic mess today and my husband brought this up. I remember my maternal grandfather grumbling about a used car salesman, "If someone had done this to me when I was nineteen I would have punched him out." That's just one example; he used to say things like that all the time, and my paternal grandfather used to say similar things. They couldn't have really gotten away with things like that that, though, could they? I have to assume this was just frustrated reminiscing about the "good old days" that wasn't strictly accurate and not something that was actually widespread, but then, I don't know much about day-to-day life in the immediate post-war era either.

This question might be better suited from immunologists, anthropologists, etc, but I thought there might be an answer here.

It's just strange to me that they went so far to try to not make the presidency be like a monarch position, and yet term limits were never set- allowing a hypothetical lifelong leader. Why weren't term limits mentioned/included in the Constitution, then? Sorry if this has been previously answered.

In light of a claim made by the Book of Mormon, that ancient Jews from the Pre-Exile period of the history of Israel practiced baptism for the remission of sins - akin to early Christianity - I was wondering if there was any archaeological evidence to back this claim up.

Otherwise I am curious as to when the practice first began and what the archaeological record says about the practice and its development.

I understand that the USSR were very resentful of the Germans and demanded repayment from the GDR, so it seems to be in line with what I understand.

How was the sheet music distributed? Did he have a "record deal"? How did he go from being an unknown with talent to having his music widely distributed?

Also, did he get acclaim, groupies, money, etc? Did he tour to support his music? Would he have been easily recognized as a popular musician when his music was at its peak popularity?

I know they were participants at the 1972 Olympics, but was their government's (or athletes) to the incident? Was it used as anti-west propaganda? Did they condemn Black September acts? Or was it just largely not discussed?

I was talking with my grandfather when we were on vacation in Udaipur and he said something along the lines of how there were no Aryan invaders. This sounds like Nationalist hokey but is he at least part right? Is the Aryan invasion theoretical, or at least exaggerated by modern historians? Really I want to know to what extent Dravidians or pre-Aryan groups influenced Indian culture.

I saw someone say in one thread that I can't remember, 'now I know how you guys don't like Jared Diamond, but...' or something to that effect.

When was the idea that there were animals/plants that used to exist, but were now extinct become a fairly common idea? Also, was there a certain animal that was first noticed of having gone extinct despite it existing in the time of Man, ie something like the Dodo bird which was a fairly modern animal of as opposed to dinosaurs.

I know, likely a silly question. I recognize that Athenian citizenship was only held by citizens, but would only citizens be referred to as Athenians? Or would a metic or slave also be referred to/refer to themselves as an Athenian?

What was the international response to the Indian conquest of Goa, and how damaging to Portugal or specific Portuguese politicians was the anemic Portuguese response? Did the Portuguese people not support protecting their territory?
