Imagining this just makes me sick. I don't care how much I hate the person I would not want to see this.

Assuming this is an adult prince, what activities would fill his day?

Were they organizing separate movements? Were they a facet of the Civil Rights Movement? Did they have any organized protests or anything?

I just read a quotation from Imre Kertesz that linked Auschwitz to the "human degradation in modern experience." But the idea of genocide certainly predates modernity. I remembered the story of Joshua from Sunday School but wondered if there were older literary or historical references. "And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword." Joshua 6:21

Hi everyone. I'm a GM for a pathfinder campaign and want to send my players into a mine, but I am left wondering what an actual middle ages mine would be laid out like. I always see the mines in rpgs being these sprawling natural cave formations, but I want to know what they actually would have been like.

Any descriptions or maps/layouts/plans you can share would be great :)

I'm looking for books (or papers) on space exploration and development of spaceflight, especially earlier (lets say pre-1980) , preferably about Russian and other countries space programs (American is pretty well documented, even with easily accessible and well known sources, although if you have a good book on this topic I'd like to check it out as well). I have pretty good knowledge about "basics", I'm looking for something more in-depth, and I've got pretty good understanding of engineering and physics concepts regarding spaceflight, so even more technical readings are welcome. Sadly, recommended book section has nothing on this topic, and my local library just ran out of titles I haven't read yet.

I understand he was quite tired of being the Emperor, so he didn't push for a revolution (one might say the same happened in Portugal, with the last King, Manuel II, not really showing any real interest in taking a throne that was supposed to be for his murdered brother).

Still, everything I've read about Pedro II seems to make him a great emperor. Brazil growed non-stop with him and he seems to pretty much always take the best option for the country. So why, when the (small) revolution ended the citizens didn't express their support for him with actions and not just words?

It just seems weird that a thriving country decides to change the political system and the population seems to not care at all about it.

For aristocrats, marriage was reserved for making alliances. But, did for example a muslim aristocrat marry a peasant for romantic reason and then marry someone else for strategic reasons>

I recently heard of a war between these two empires over the Caucasus, what happened and why?

If you're aware of any authors in particular I should look at that would be excellent. Thank you!

If so, to what extent were they successful?

That is to say, how did these two groups, who each recognised themselves as racially superior, intend to co-exist had they won the war?

I'm curious as to what kind of disruption something like that would have had to the every day French citizen (or at least self-identified as French). Good book recommendations on the subject?
