Not sure of further details. I remember the christian doctor chopped off a knights leg and cut a crucifix into the head of a woman and rubbed salt into it.

I have been reading about this lately as i find it very interesting, and I knew little about this before.

From what i understand the British had control over the Iranian oil industry since 1913, before Persia became known as Iran, through the Anglo-Persian Oil Company. This was the reason for the coup because Mohammad Mosaddeq wanted to nationalize the country's oil industry.

Although I dont know much about Mosaddeq, from what ive read, it seems like he wanted to democratize Iran, to some extenct!? His administration introduced a range of progressive social and political reforms such as social security, rent control, and land reforms. After the coup and the Shah assumed power as had been planned, the country would be under a dictator for nearly 26 years before the Iranian revolution in 1979

My question is if we would see a different Iran today if Mosaddeq had not been stripped of Power and replaced with the Shah?

I apologize in advance for the lack of information and poorly written text (im not a native english speaker). I might be wrong, but I would really appriciate if someone would clarify what im thinking here.

There are some similarities between John the Baptist and the Essences - ritual bathing (common at the time), living in the desert, apocalyptic theology. Are these superficial? How common were these features at the time (especially apocalyptic theology)?

I was considering reading the The Malleus Maleficarum just because of the historical content that the book provides, and I was wondering if it is worth reading.

If it is, can you give me any suggestions about other interesting books?

What terms were the Central Powers seeking to impose on the Allies?

i've noticed a couple of recent questions recently that could be easily answered with the help of an etymological dictionary (for instance "when did the word fa***t become a curse word). I think it would be useful to add such a work to answer questions before they are asked.

Thoughts? also which ones should be recommended or should the oed be recommended instead of an online one?

If not, did they have some other sort of system for tracking the seasons and years?

By "common people", I mean people who were unable to read, or to need to know the date all the time for their vocation.

I'm also curious to know whether or not this changed over time.

I'm curious as to what point in time, if I traveled to it, would be the last point before I could no longer understand English speaking people.

I've read A Short History of Byzantium by John Julius Norwich, the Alexiad in translation, (and a bunch of Wikipedia articles), but is there a current, mostly accurate history that you'd recommend to an amateur?

I've been struggling with my own faith and this question keeps coming up.

Someone just tells you they spoke to God or angels and they believed him?

Is there a historical account, not in the torch, bible or qu'ran that explains why so many people followed Moses, Jesus and Muhammad?

Assuming that, say, Butler had agreed to help the conspirators like Prescott Bush in the coupe, and successfully ousted FDR (with FDR dying in the process or otherwise, you guys decide, you're the experts) with Butler at the helm, what would happen exactly? Would Butler and co. have an election, or simply put one of them in the POTUS seat instead? Or would they do away with the POTUS, Congress, and the SCOTUS, and re-do the whole of the US government?

In any case, would there be a mass rebellion/revolution against this? After all, despite my personal dislike, FDR was very popular at the time, as was, you know... not being a dictatorship. Would there perhaps even be a civil war in the end?

And of course, would we have ended up getting involved in WWII under a Smedley Butler (and co.) leadership, or not? Would we be involved faster, or later? Would we have been militarizing previous to involvement, unlike what FDR did?

Those, amongst many others, are just some questions I (and others that I've seen across the web) have about what would've happened, had Butler not "taddled" on the conspirators. Any insight you guys have would be great, and any answers to what I asked, and even things I didn't ask would be wonderful. I realize a lot of this has to do with theories, which are of course always debatable. I also understand you may not be able to provide links and sources on everything you predict, as it 1) isn't a widely-covered topic and 2) is, again, entirely theoretical. That being said, speaking for myself, I'd love to hear anything anyone has to say regarding predictions, first-person accounts, and so-on involving this incident in history.

Note to admins: I realize this may be more geared towards /r/HistoricalWhatIf, but for some reason it's private (?), and also, I find this community to be, by far, the most reliable when it comes to things like this, and definitely the most educated. If you'd like me to take it down, just tell me (or do it yourselves, it is your subreddit, I suppose).

EDIT: I obviously meant 1933, sorry about that. Also, my title was repetitive. Again, sorry.

before and after the purge of Christians and missionaries under the Tokugawa Shogunate. for instance (as an example):

how did the fact that many of the leaders of the vanguard of the invasion of Korean impact later assessments of the war and those

don't feel constrained by that specific example and honestly i would also be interested to hear more about Christianity in other East Asian societies.

I heard a theory a while back (NPR or BBC? It was a reputable source) that suggested that growing nationalism in China may soon put the country in a position to start world war three. That got me wondering what society looks like leading up to major wars. Are there normally telltale signs that war is coming? Or is every war so different that it's hard to predict? Would we know if we were headed for WWIII right now?

A quick search hasn't turned up much on the topic. What were the political and economic processes? How did the people adapt on both sides? How did decades of Soviet-led ideology play out in the new political climate?

I realize these processes would be ongoing and would continue past our 20 year mark, but what can we discuss about those first years of reunification?

I was in an Asian History class when I was taught this. The teacher called it the Green Sprouts Law, but I can't find any verification and I no longer have my texts from that class. Is this true? Can someone verify it? Mahalo.
