I can't seem to find a lot on google, besides that scroll. Looking for information on how it rose to prominence. I know the Grand Canal, agriculture and the shifting of the capitals from Nanjing to Beijing helped it, but I can't really find anything on how it's industries worked around that time. I know silk was big for them. Pls help :).

So my wife and I are currently watching the television series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, 2nd Gig. We got into anime after spending three years working in Japan. And a large part of one of the arcs refers to the May 15th Incident in which those in the Japanese Military assassinated the EmperorPM in 1932. This event which to my surprise was an actual event in history helped bring a renewed surge in conservative nationalist sentiments in Japan.

Such an event would seem to have a great deal of scholarship on the event and the periphery. However there doesn't seem to be a great deal of scholarship on the event. I was hoping that you historians could help me to decent scholarship that i could acquire that directly deals with developments around the May 15th Incident and the repercussions.

Searched and didn't find much. I'm curious Reddit.

Can someone give me a historical analysis of why post-war Detroit failed so spectacularly? Like the social, economic, political, etc. reasons why things got as bad as they did? Was the start of the decline the 1967 riots or did it begin earlier/later?

Specifically, I am asking in light of how the Allies used Britain as a massive aircraft carrier and launch point for their bombing runs of mainland Europe, etc.

With Britain unavailable for this purpose, what would the Allies have done? Is there any evidence of a Plan B formed by the UK/USA in anticipation of this probability?

I am sure the US's officially neutral stance (as this would have happened pre-Pearl Harbor) would have changed if their ally Britain had fallen but would the war have basically been ended if the British had yielded to Germany? Did they have any ideas how they were going to retake Europe without the conveniences that using Britain afforded them?

(I do hope I was clear enough)

I checked the FAQ page and didn't see anything.

I imagine it's not, but is it just as sensible to say c.50,000 years ago as it is c.20,000 years ago? Is it something that is likely to have emerged very early on in humanity along with language? Or is it more sophisticated than that? I'd guess that something like rhythm would emerge early on, but is the same true for harmony and melody? Is this even a question for historians?!

Does anyone know how the 2nd Punic War in particular would have affected Republican Rome culturally? The Carthaginians were known to have had a formidable culture, so did increased interactions between Romans and Carthaginians during the Punic Wars in any way influence Roman culture, specifically in terms of religion?

According to the internet, the human race has been in existence for roughly 200,000 years. Aside from the fact that we've never found one, is there any reason why a civilization couldn't have existed 20 - 150,000 years ago? Also, is it possible that geographical changes might have left evidence of truly ancient civilizations buried, sunk or otherwise obscured in ways we haven't considered, or have the capacity to explore?

To clarify what I mean, Was HIV a problem within... say Spartan men who had homosexual sex with each other?

I understand HIV is a recent name for it but is there any evidence of such disease(maybe even similar ones) within homosexual men in the past? I.E a conspiracy says HIV was introduced by the CIA to homosexual men during the 60s-70s.

In other words, has such disease always been significant in the "homosexual men" community? Is it a natural occurrence?

Whenever I google it, I can only find abbreviated versions that negate characters like Kozeri, one of the sisters. I've read parts of it but I'm just having a hard time fully comprehending it. Any help would be appreciated.

It is to my understanding that Ghana has a rough start to democracy. When do historians/political scientists believe that Ghana became that shining example of democracy south of the Sahara that it so often praised for today? When was its democratization consolidated?

I'm reading The Crucible and Reverend Parris had all of his money stolen, but it was only 31 pound. How would that translate into money today?

Also, what were some of the various things that prevented this from happening?
