The same goes for the other japanese leaders who stood responsible for all the atrocities committed

After being on this subreddit for a little bit I've seen plenty of questions about how Napoleon surely would have won at Waterloo if only he had some long-bowmen. After reading plenty of logical refutations I'm now convinced the the transition to guns made plenty of sense for warfare.

But what about hunting? When did the average hunters start switching to firearms, and did hunting with a bow completely die out and reemerge more recently or were there always people hunting with bows?

I've read in a bunch of different places over the years that we couldn't build a Saturn V today if we wanted to, because the tooling was scrapped and the blueprints shredded. What was the government's motivation for doing this? Why destroy knowledge that (I imagine) would've cost a trivial amount of money to keep stored somewhere in case it came in handy years down the line?

Hi! I am not sure if this question has been asked before, and in that case I would like to be linked to that thread. Anyway as a history student in Norway, I really wonder why the nazis had sculls on their hats, and why no one seemed to react on it. Was the sense of conformity that strong? For me it just seems like such a warning sign, with these sculls..

When did we move away from the feather and ink pot and towards the modern idea of a pen? When would pens have become commonplace? When would the feather and ink pot have started being viewed as old fashioned?

I really liked "Medieval Cities" and it has informed my thinking, but it'd be foolish to think that no further research has been done.

Not exclusively ancient Greece or Rome. I'm talking about any/all soldiers before guns became a major factor in warfare.

I am reading Trotsky's "The revolution Betrayed" and he says USSR was waiting for a revolution in Germany. How close were Germany to become a communist state in the 1919-1923 period?

For example,massive production of heavy armor, arrows, swords and other steel weapons implies massive production of steel,right?But if they were nomadic then how did they organize a production of ironstone and further manufacturing? Some people argue that they used weapons of conquered nations but I find this point rather weak.

I'm not sure if this is the right sub to ask this in, but I was just pondering earlier today and figured that there are currently a lot of long-standing border disputes that could be solved pretty quickly if someone just flashed some cash...

I asked this question here a while ago and got a lot of upvotes but no answers. I thought I'd ask again. I want to know how accurate they were or if they are just an artist's impression. Perhaps they were taken at the time like Wellington sitting for a portrait. Any help would be appreciated.

Sweden lost its power, that much I know, but people say that he was one of the more important rulers. Why is that?

I'm doing some genealogy and there is a discrepancy here. Which is it? Or are both false? There isn't a source for either one.

It seems like absolute madness to me, with everyone wasting the majority of their lives just waiting for those 2 days to actually live and do what they want. All indicators point to the future moving more towards a greater focus on leisure time.. but I'd like to know more about the history behind it.
