ive been doing some interesting reading on this. ive read a lot of differing opinions saying that yes, it was obvious it was going to happen. and some saying no, nobody knew hitler would act in bad faith. What do you guys think about this? Would love to know what you guys have to say. Thanks!!

Edit: Was World II inevitable. added an extra was by mistake!

I understood, that comes from Godofredo V of Anjou and change the name of Anjou Plantagenet, by their dress. and just the Plantagenet reign in 1485, ushering in the tudor house. how true is this ?.

Salt Lake City is the 124th largest city and the 48th largest metro area. I'm just saying, seems like a pretty small place to move a major team like the Utah Jazz.

And where was this quote sourced? Plutarch?

ALRIGHT! They were Counsul and Senator, respectively, you can stop correcting me.

I am familiar with the basics of the Boston Tea Party but there is a question I keep coming back to: To what extent was the Boston Tea Party planned in advance and if it was, how was it organized?

I have had a very hard time gaining an understanding whether or not the Boston Tea Party was an organized event (with people joining in on the spot) orchestrated by one of the many groups active in Boston or more of an impromptu reaction after hearing of Governor Hutchinson's refusal during the December 16 Old South Meeting House gathering.

Is this a question that can be answered or can it not due to the fact that the participants themselves were silent about it (some of them to their death)?

Please feel free to correct me if completely wrong about any of this. Thanks!

I just finished reading Caesar's commentaries on the Gallic War and then went on a Wikipedia binge reading about the Civil War. On almost every occasion, Caesar seems to show clemency to his defeated enemies, e.g. Brutus, Cicero, not to mention the defeated Gallic states.

Was this typical of a conquering Roman general of the time? Was he just naturally not a bloodthirsty man? Or was it merely politically expedient for Caesar, as it promoted his image as a hero of the people? Thank you!

Edit: sorry about the extra "the" in the title.

Was it the imperial influence of the relatively "easy" African conquests? Was it the advent of public education? Was it Social Darwinism?

Hi,

Being interested in the Battle of Carrhae and reading that Marcus Licinius Crassus did not receive permission from the Senate to move his army towards the Parthians, got me thinking.

Approximately how long would it take to communicate from the front line (e.g. modern days Britain, Turkey, Egypt etc) to the Senate? More particularly; if Crassus sought permission from the Senate to invade Parthia, how long would he have had to wait to get word to a from the Senate, and how would he present his argument?

If someone lets say, had an allergy to nuts a few hundred years ago, and they ate one, what would have happened?

I'm interested as to whether it is more of a 21/20th century phenomenon.

Obviously the country was broken apart and they ended up with east and west before the eventual collapse of the soviets. That isn't what I am talking about.

At this point in world history they had experienced two different occasions where the Germans had tried to invade and conquer other parts of the world. The second time world domination being a stated goal. Did anyone ever bring up the possibility of splitting the country up and dissolving it entirely?

Hi folks,

I'm a history student going into my final year of my B.A., and I'm hoping to attend graduate school the following year. I had some questions for those of you familiar with graduate-level education:

1. How relevant does your supervisor's research need to be to your research?

2. I have two different areas of interest that I'd like to do graduate study in. They're distinct enough that I couldn't really study both, and I like them approximately the same amount. Does anyone have advice about how to decide between the two? Would it be reasonable to create two research proposals, apply to a variety of universities (sending one proposal or the other based on the faculty at that university), and base my decision on where I get accepted?

3. Are there any 'unwritten rules' of graduate applications/graduate schools that I should be aware of?

Thanks very much for your help!

What methods did he use to convert people? Would he have just stood in the streets and proselytized?

I know a large number of blacks were slaves. However, I was reading up on Irish and Asians people who worked on the railroads in deplorable conditions, but they weren't technically slaves. This got me thinking - were any other races slaves? Also, I'm not talking about indentured servants which was pretty common throughout US history. I'm talking straight up slaves.

It seems that pretty from Bismarck's sacking on Germany's strategic situation deteriorated. 1890 Germany had treaties with Russia, Austria-Hungary and Italy and the other European powers were not really friendly with each other. 1914-1915 it seems most of Europe was eager to join the war against Germany.

Did the Kaiser have a major role in what happened inbetween?
