During the 1960's Saudi Arabia and Egypt were competing to be the primary power of the Sunni Arab world (notably in a proxy war in Yemen) Egypt under Nasser promoted Pan-Arabism as a secular ideology that was very popular at the time, so to what extent was an increasingly hardline vision of Islam a tool by which Saudi Arabia could draw people and states away from Egypt's ideology?

Until recently I never fully grasped how massive the number of soldiers involved in this theater of the war was. It got me thinking that the war crimes I have heard so much about could have been carried out by a relatively small percentage of the troops involved in fight for the east (Germans invaded the USSR with a force of 3 million men, If .005% of these men carried out some sort of crime it would equate to 15,000 crimes. The US landed on Guadalcanal with 10,000 marines) Was this the case or did both sides as a whole commit all the infamous atrocities you hear of on an even larger scale relative to the number of troops they had.. say 15-20%.

Like, how did women influence theatre in this time, as characters/actresses/every day women/rulers etc?

I'm doing an Annotated Bibliography for my Theatre course and I've chosen Women in Ancient Greek Theatre. But I'm finding it hard to find a lot of good sources. I need three, preferably of different mediums.

I'm very very sorry if this question isn't posed very well or if it's been asked similarly before, I'm new to this sub and I searched and didn't find anything.

Basically I need help finding sources that discuss women in Ancient Greek theatre. There is no clear argument that I am gong for because that's not the point of the assignment, so anything from any perspective is a HUGE help!!

Please note - I have read Electra and Medea and I plan on making points about these two, however anything else is welcome!!

Thank you!

If there were, how did they come to be and what happened to them after the war?

The other planets are named after deity figures, and I was just curious about when and where (and why) this particular planet started to become known as 'Earth?' Did other peoples have a different name for it? At what point in history did the understanding of 'planets' change the name (or concept) for where we all live?

"Explain the rationale for acquiring colonies rather than repeating the European experience in China."

Is the "experience" that this question is talking about the Opium Wars and the Spheres of Influence?

"Was there an advantage in colonizing parts of Africa and Asia that was absent with China?"

Okay so I'm kinda lost on this one. Africa had basically already surrendered due to the slave trade which put entire economic regions into shambles due to less labor in the continent itself. thus, no Industrial Revolution and easy exploitation of resources in Africa. China already traded with Europe and so, did Europe see no sizable benefit to colonialism in distant china which would've been costly. Not to mention invading nomads......

THIS IS A HOMEWORK QUESTION YET I DID MY OWN "RESEARCH" (SUBREDDIT RULES) AND AM ASKING FOR IDEAS

Now, this isn't a question about any historical events involving actual knights, or actual royals, but more of a question about the history of folklore. I'm sure that many (if not most) of you, while growing up, heard stories involving heroic knights and princesses as damsels-in-distress, or stories about witches (e.g., Hansel and Gretel) or other magical stories involving royals somehow (e.g., Rumpelstiltskin). Additionally, this kind of setting is also found in nursery rhymes, etc.

My question: how did this romanticized (because it obviously isn't a historically accurate description of anything) magical world develop over time? I know this may not be a question that most historians are familiar with, as it's more of a folklore thing, but hopefully some of you guys know, since I've been researching it a bit today and have turned up blanks.

Thanks!

Did German kids get the same treatment as British kids in that they were sent to live in the countryside for safety?

I've been living in Korea for over two years now. I've noticed that most Koreans tend to have a slight (and sometimes very noticeable) prejudice towards Chinese and Japanese people. I know that there were were a great deal of battles over who owned Korean territory but it seems like they've held onto their resentment. I don't mean any offence as I love it here. I'm just comparing to countries in Europe that seem to just "let it lie".

Why weren't Spain and France able to hold any territory in North America? Did England and/or Indians just defeat them in wars?

I only remember hearing that some went to greece, one died in Italy, some to north africa and Armenia.

The Roarin' Twenties, the psychedelic 60s, the cheesy 80s, the 90s kids, it seems like we, Americans, categorize culture trends in increments of 10 years. Are culture changes always fitted so neatly into these segments? Or is it just easier to categorize..

I was wondering what a historian's opinion on this book is. I am looking into American history that is factual and can provide how this nation got to the point where it is today. I liked this book because it talked about many things I haven't learned about in my High School history classes and it really woke me up to the fact that not everything in my Government today is created to help me or its citizens. But I can't shake the feeling that some of the passages in the book are a little extreme and might paint too broad a negative brush on politicians and the actions of the government. I was wondering, has anybody else read this book and what do they think of it? What are some good readings out there about American history I can look over that could paint a clearer picture of what happened? Are there examples of powerful people being benevolent? Is the overall trend of America's political elite really that bad for its citizens?
