I was wondering what has historically been the reaction to this? I've been wondering about what will happen in 2039-45 when documents about WW2 come out. Would the informations release cause huge reactions? Or is time a healer, and when this sort of thing happens, do people leave the past in the past?

People as in the common man, peasantry and such. Did they really identify with their nation, in general? Or did they not care and focus on not dying?

Did Kamikazee attacks achieve more than conventional attacks in their place would have?

And was it a good use of resources? Even if people were cheap, aircraft presumably weren't. These days military fighter aircraft cost in the millions of dollars. Even if they didn't cost as much back then, a fighter aircraft was still presumably an expensive thing to intentionally destroy. Did they have a surplus or something?

Did they have a surplus of people? Why not put these soldiers into conventional battle?

What lead to Japanese planners deciding on this strategy?

It seems like such a relatively small geographic area, with a number of different languages. Why didn't a common language develop historically?

I know a fifth-grader (female) who has a strong aversion to wearing skirts and dresses. Her school is holding a "colonial period dress-up day" where they are expected to come in costume. I thought that a great solution would be to show that there have been a handful of non-conformists throughout history and to come dressed as a specific example of a woman from that period who wore trousers. Can anyone point me to an example?

So with the House of Lords looking like its about to block the governments tax credit plan I keep on reading that there have only ever been 21 fatal motions ever tables and only 2 have ever passed, however I can't find anything about what bills were stopped and what the aftermath was. So my questions are: •When have they been used successfully in the past? •What did the government do when they had been defeated in the Lords? Did they try again with amended legislation? •If the fatal motion was defeated, did the government concede amendments to its bill anyway?

I think that usually the composer wrote the music first and then a writer would write the libretto. Is this so? I also remember reading that it could happen the other way around, a composer writing a opera to an existing libretto. Was this common?

I'm particularly interested in the creative process behind Mozart and Verdi works. Did they set the tone and devise a plot while composing the music, or was it mostly defined by the writer in the libretto? Did they ever contribute with lyrics or dialogue? Who had the final word in putting the music and libretto together?

Thank you :)

I'm looking for primary source documents that explain how Japan was successful in adopting modernization programs and etc

At the time, it was one of the largest armies in the world, and relatively well-equipped from what I've seen. Why did they surrender to allies en masse so quickly?

In South America and the Philippines, which were areas of Spanish/Portuguese colonization, the population is typically partially or fully native yet semi-integrated into Iberian culture (they are usually Catholic and usually speak Spanish/Portuguese).

In areas of British colonization such as New Zealand/Australia/US/Canada, the population is mostly of European descent.

Why is this? Is it entirely a result of higher population density in South America and the Philippines?

Was there less stigma on having children with the native people in Spanish colonies?

Was there some population phenomenon in Britain which meant that there were more women/families willing to move to the colonies? Were Iberian colonists mostly men, or were there large numbers of women/families who moves to the colonies as well? And if so, why did Iberian men marry native women more frequently than British colonists? Or is that assumption wrong, and British colonists frequently took native wives?

Were the British more brutal than the Iberians when it came to displacing native people?

I personally have an interest in the Third Reich. I don't know a whole lot about the history of the Third Reich beyond the many documentaries I've watched about Hitler and the Third Reich on YouTube and Netflix.

I was wondering if you guys could recommend me a good book on Hitler and the Third Reich. However there's a catch because I have a very narrow view of what I constitute as "good." By good, I mean a book that sticks to the facts, explains what happens empirically, and does not delve into the stereotypical points about Hitler being a monster, national socialism being racist, etc, etc. I have no interest in hearing an author blather on and on moralizing about how awful the Nazi's are. I've heard it a million times already, I don't think it's too much to ask for a history book that just sticks to the facts and is intellectually honest.

I have heard that an author by the name of Richard J. Evans wrote a trilogy on the Third Reich that apparently is praised by other Third Reich scholars. His books are also very affordable if bought used on Amazon, would this Trilogy be a good place to start and does anybody know if they fit what I'm looking for? Or do you have a better recommendation?

Thank you.

I've never heard of Vedic textual criticism or Quranic textual criticism or Socratic textual criticism or any other kind of textual criticism. E: besides Shakespeare.

I assume they must have since they were from Britain. If yes, when did they lose it? Did immigration from all over Europe play a big role in creating the American pronunciation of the English language?

I was just thinking, the tie doesn't really serve a purpose, and is just fabric that hangs from one's neck. How did this come about and why is it the symbol of professionalism?
