I am looking for some of the misperceptions of communism during the cold war. Especially in the context of American imperialism and their actions taken during this time. I am looking to answer why specifically these misperceptions may have influenced their actions in Chile in Latin America to overthrow the Allende.

I understand that the US had economic interests in latin America at this time. I felt like the recent events before this also influenced a fear of communism rising up in latin america, eg. korea, vietnam, cuba, but, is that it?

The ancient and royal courses have been there at least since the mid 1700s. I can't find any information on how the grass and courses were maintained. Did they even maintain the grasses? Used animals? I'd love to know.

Hello again! I can't understand very well what's written in Wikipedia, so i ask here, which Soviet Republics can be considered occupied by the USSR? Which modern countries were a part of the USSR when it was declared? I know only about the Baltic States and Moldova that they were occpudied. How high was the approval of the creation of the USSR in the Republics (besided the Russian SFSR)? Thanks in advance!

I first heard about it in the Hardcore History podcast. Is there an ethnologic relation?

I live in New Zealand, it's winter here now, and it's freezing! How did a stone-age peoples, with access to only feather cloaks (no large mammals to skin) manage to survive the winter months, especially in the south of the country? Did they just not go outside?

As I was listening to the Revolutions podcast I was struck by how little these plots accomplished. I would like to stick to early 17th century England, but would be curious if any secret cabals managed to succeed on the continent as well during this time period.

Was it post WWII or was it during the Cold war? Or was it before both of those and around the industrial revolution?

For example, if I picked a random Beethoven symphony, what percentage of the music was written by him? All of it, or would he have instruments he didn't know how to play. Maybe he say down with his go-to violinist and asked him to help him fit some violin into this upcoming piece.

Were priest holes actually used, were places actually raided in search of priests, and based off of that, how much hiding was actually supported by noble families and how much was helped by commoners? is there any way of telling?

Why did they not simply give in to coalition demands? In hindsight, it certainly seems like they didn't have a chance of winning once the war started.

Did they have a better chance then it seemed? Did they believe their own hype?

I love history but am not good at sitting down and reading books. I'm a history major and understand I need to read many more books. I specialize in creepy and mysterious parts of history because it's exiting and there for, easy to read about but I want to broaden my knowledge.

I like western history as well as American history pre 1900's. I'd like your help to find books that have sparked your interest as well as books that take grip of your interest and are well writen. I'm ENFJ and it's hard to keep focused on books that arn't I teresting or well writen but I NEED to readore history books. Please help recomended books along with a short discription of why you like them and what they're about please and thank you so much.

I had learned in my European history classes in high school that the Great War had been inevitable - that all the great powers had been on the brink of war, and that the assassination of Ferdinand by Princip was just the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.

However I was just listening to a history podcast where the speaker (Dan Carlin) said that without Princip, there never would have been a WWI, and in turn there never would have been a WWII. He seems to imply that the assassination of specifically Franz Ferdinand was critical for the start of WWI

After googling about princip, it seems a lot of people hold both opinions (but random sites from Google don't always seem the most trustworthy), so... What is the truth? Just how influential was he?

Sorry if this has already been asked (I figured it would have been, but I can't find any definitive answers by searching here)

My grandfather was in WW2 and I'm trying to recreate his WW2 uniform. I have his coat, but what else would have been issued? Like would he have been issued a service pack or something, did pilots carry service sidearms? He was a Lancaster bomber pilot.

That is, how would their punishment have changed if there were no death camps?
