By liberal I mean the modern meaning, i.e. 'lefty commies'. what would be the 19th century British equivalent of wanted equal marriage, for example?

I mean with all the orgies, how did everyone not have herpes or chlamydia or things like that?

From Wikipedia;

In the immediate postwar period it had diplomatic relations with Mexico, Panama, Guatemala, Venezuela, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Romania, and Albania.[1] By contrast the United States, Great Britain and the Soviet Union did not recognise it.

Did the Government achieve anything during it's exile?

It was stationed in France immediately post-war and then moved to Mexico, so what impact did it have on Franco or Mexican statehood or Culture?

Our family's ancestors emigrated from France in 1659, and a few months later, acquired a spot of land 3 arpents wide by 126 arpents deep on the coast of Beaupré, Quebec, in the vicinity of L-Ange-Gardien. The patriarch of the family, a cooper and merchant by trade, paid 120 livres in return for having the land entrusted to him by contract, which later passed down to his eldest son when he died in 1687.

Since information on our family basically stops after said patriarch, I'm looking for any information I can regarding the circumstances of their arrival. It's clear they emigrated as part of a big recruitment campaign in France during 1659 (possibly on the same ship that carried a contagious fever that killed 10 passengers during the voyage and spread to the colony upon docking), but aside from recording their names and dates of baptism, it doesn't look like there's much more to go on.

I'd at least like to know how much money 120 livres represented in that time. Were these guys wealthy, or just on the upper-middle-class side of things?

Also, would knowing the ins-and-outs of buckets, barrels, and washtubs be a valuable skillset to have in that time and location?

What I mean by this is how much colonization has changed their culture and lifestyle immediately after, did they continue to live mostly the same way as before for some time? Did they use the same architecture as their ancestors, or adopt a more European style? If their culture didn't change much, when did it start adopting European elements on a bigger scale?

I've never taken a particular interest in the name when reading it before, but I just recently got one of those whims to find out a little bit more about the men who surrounded Hitler - more than just their names that is. It seems to me that while Bormann seemingly had a very powerful position and with it probably (?) featured in a lot of the propaganda videos with Hitler, he would not have been a person whom the average German could identify by name. Correct?

I know alot of Eritrean friends who seem to all recount having italian relatives or great grandfathers. Was it common for an Italian soldier or labourer to take an Eritrean wife during the Italian-Eritrea colonial era? What happened to the children of these unions? Was it a taboo subject in Italy and Eritrea at the time?

Throughout the cold war, the GDR was infamous for erecting the Berlin wall and performing exhausting measures to prevent German citizens from fleeing to the BRD. Were pro-communist German civilians and police employed to guard the wall, or was it almost strictly soviet soldiers and military police?

I've began watching Secrets of the Castle, a documentary on BBC I'd definitely recommend, but I wondered what happened to them? The castles we see today are a far cry from what they used to be, where they just abandoned one day, and left to crumble? When did we start to consider castles as historical landmarks, and begin turning them into museums?

I have been reading about how the British allowed for officer commissions to be purchased in the 1800s before they moved to distinct officer training. But I have not been able to find much on how someone would become an officer in the US military. I am aware that currently the US military uses Service Academies, Reserve Officer Training Corps, and Officer Candidate School to get officers but before those came about how did the US military get its officers and how and when did they transition to the current system? I am interested in information on any of the uniformed services at any time period.

I've heard that during WW2 Stalin ordered many factories to be moved further east to stop the Nazis getting hold of them. After the war were they moved back to their original location? Or were they left where they were? What effect did this have on the new location?

Some time early next year I intend to serve as an Agricultural Extension Peace Corps Volunteer in Tanzania. For those who don't know, the Peace Corps is an organization run by the United States government. Volunteer service entails at least two years living in a homestay with a local family and engaging in 'development' projects.

Service will not begin for at least another nine months. My current employment allows me enough free time and relaxation to actively read for two to four hours per day. I want to put this time to good use, which is why I am asking /r/askhistorians: What books/articles do you think might be germane to someone working in Tanzania's development community? This could be about African history, Tanzanian history, "development", agriculture, Indian ocean, economic history, anthropology, Theory.....whatever. I just want to avoid being a dumbass.

I currently live in a country where I have very limited access to English books, let alone academic texts. I do, however, have access to jstor and libgen.

Here are a few books I've read that I have found especially helpful when thinking about these sorts of things. I've been trying to hit as many different topics and perspectives as possible. What am I missing?

Arturo Escobar, Encountering Development: The Making and Unmaking of the Third World

Marcel Mazoyer, A History of World Agriculture: From the Neolithic Age to the Current Crisis

Marjorie Shostack, Nisa: The Life and Words of a !Kung Woman

Jeff Sachs, The Age of Sustainable Development

Aichille Mbembe, On the Postcolony

Amartya Sen, Poverty and Famines: An Essay on Entitlement and Deprivation

Fred Cooper, Africa in the World: Capitalism, Empire, Nation-State

Robert Young, Postcolonialism: An Historical Introduction

Chris Bramall, Chinese Economic Development

I realize my question is broad, but I am hoping that a shotgun approach to this will get me as many interesting things to read as possible.

Thanks! Sorry if this question isn't really appropriate to this subreddit.

During the spanish civil war. Like who gave them weapons planes tanks who sent them troops that kinda stuff
