Where they poor at that time that leaving the coty to spread out was impossible or where there other factors to stay in the North Eastern Seaboard?

Tried Googling this many times but impossible to find an answer. What made 'Murano Glass' so unique that it couldn't be reproduced elsewhere in Europe... ie in France or England or the Netherlands?

Was it a made of particular sand/materials that are only found in Venice and surrounding Murano?

Had the glass manufacturers of Murano somehow developed secret techniques that mainland Europeans were unable to imitate easily?

I do understand that banning books and rewriting history has been occurring throughout various governments, how common was the act of public burning under any regime? What was the first instance of book burning?

I know the purported reason for that is in order to prevent the rise of communist regimes. My question is, didn’t the US government consider alternatives to supporting brutal dictatorships all over the world? Didn’t they think it would come back to bite them in the backside with a rise of anti-US feelings worldwide, and did no US President ever have moral and ethical reserves about engaging in that sort of foreign policy?

Couldn’t the US government have simply promoted fair, open and ethical governments, or could they not have befriended communist regimes in order to isolate them from the Soviet Union and then put pressure on them to behave ethically with their own populations?

I can imagine that before the melee started, gunners would shoot their shots like skirmishers. But what happened once they melee began? Did they retreat and mix with the pikemen, shooting from within the forest of pointy sticks? Did they wait it out within the pike squares until either side routed?

Was it purely coincidence? Would the French have begun to win back territories by that time in the war anyway? Did Joan have some prior knowledge of tactics?

Like, when I read about the topic, I see a general public/political sentiment that obviously hates Communists/Marxist Leninists but isn't entirely Capitalist, more social-democratic, but also maintains a distinctly Iranian/Persian cultural aspect, out of a sense of nationalism against European/American domination.

After USS West Virginia was raised, people found three dead sailors in a air tight compartment alongside with a calendar that market off 16 more days since December 7th.

Everybody knew survivors were trapped within the wreckage because of the continuous banging.

I'd assume a rescue attempt is impossible under the circumstances. However, what were the precise reasons for not attempting a rescue?

Thank you

It's kind of weird that we don't celebrate it on may 1st, especially when we the Haymarket riot happened in America.

I have read that chariots were first used in mesopotamia around 3000 BC. Did all war chariots used later derive from that first use, or were they invented independently in different places? Did all war chariots use horses for the motive power, or did someone try other animals, such as dogs, reindeer, or elephants?

What was the state of performing arts in the medieval period? I’m thinking mainly theater, but dance or opera or anything else too. Was it common? Reserved for lords? Who were the audiences? Did peasants or commoners have access to theater? Perform in theater?

I tend to think of theater in Shakespeare’s time as being broadly similar to today (theaters open to the public, secular subject matter), but when did that begin and what was theater like in the few centuries prior?

Dickens famously published his novels as weekly serials. Did he first write a complete novel, and publish chapter by chapter from a complete work; or did he write a new chapter every week and send it off to his publisher just in time?

And i only found a specific version which i dont know if its censored or not. So any advice would be nice :)

I've read many explanations about how recent history/popular depictions of either vikings, or anglo-saxons wearing helmets with horns are incorrect. That it is a disadvantage if a blow is taken to the helmet, it was invented by Wagner, etc. However, in the recent video game Ghost of Tsushima, set during the Mongol invasions of Japan, the main character's helmet features a prominent set of stag antlers. I remembered also this is mentioned very briefly in James Clavell's novel Shogun, set just prior to the Togugawa Shogunate, that a character is wearing a horned helmet. Checking the wikipedia, there look to be several surviving examples of horned helms from the Edo period. So what's the deal here? Were these ceremonial, or are there just no surviving European examples?

I was just at the boarded up Columbus statue in Philly and that got me thinking about the first American settlers and that got me thinking about thanksgiving and then I realized… that story sounds ridiculous as hell!

I know the pilgrims showed up with guns and “settled” the land. And I’m assuming that land (close to the ocean and fresh water sources, non mountainous, etc) was already occupied.

So surely there was some conflict from the get go.

And then someone invited someone to dinner??? I honestly don’t know who invited whom (in the story) but neither scenario sounds super plausible.

So… did this meal ever take place?

If not, is the meal just used to mark a time of year? Like the final crop harvest or something? Or was this story invented generations later to sugarcoat genocide and pillaging?

One thing that has always baffled me is, why did the Germans follow a man who was not a German by birth but who promoted the racial superiority of the German people? Adolf Hitler was an Austrian by birth and for a few years he was a stateless man living in Germany.

One just has to see the Shakespeare references not only foreign movies but even something as so remote as anime and manga (where even genres not intended for more mature audiences such as superhero action stories will quote Shakespeare line or even have a special episode or chapter featuring a Romeo and Juliet play).

So it begs the questions of why evens something so far away from Shakespeare like soap opera animated shows aimed at teen girls in Japan and martial arts action flicks in China would feature some reference to Shakespeare like a play in the background of a scene or a French language drama movie having the lead actor studying Shakespeare despite going to Institut Catholique de Paris because he's taking a class on literature.

One poster from Turkey in another subreddit even says Shakespearean plays are no only done in the country bu you'll come across William Shakespeare n name as you take more advanced classes is just another example.

Going by what other people on reddit says, it seems most countries still surviving live theatre traditions is primarily Opera and old classical playwrights are very niche even within the national high art subculture.

So I'd have to ask why William and indeed British live theatre traditions seem to be the most famous in the world s well s the most respected? I mean you don't have French playwrights getting their stuff acted out in say Brazil. Yet Brazilian universities have Shakespeare as a standard part in addition to local authors and those from the former Colonial master Portugal. People across Europe go to British universities to learn acting and some countries even hire British coaches for aid.

So I really do wonder why no non-English speaking country outside of France, Germany, and Italy ever got the wide international appeal and general prestige as Britain in stage plays. Even for the aforementioned countries, they are primarily known for Operas rather than strictly live theatre and n actual strictly playright has become as universally known across much of humanity and the world as Shakespeare.

How did William and the UK in general (and if we add on, the English speaking world) become the face of live theatre to measure by?
