Either single words or descriptions of dirty things.

Was he a traitor to his party? Or are his obvious breaches of his Jeffersonian and strict constitution ideals the result of the formation of parties and increased sectional differences? Was this compromise necessary?

Specifically, I mean why did the North natives separate into smaller nomadic tribes while some of the south set up civilization?

I read the percentages of losses per population were

Greece 10% Soviet Union 2.8% Holland 2.2% France 2% Poland 1.8% Yugoslavia 1.7% Belgium 1.5%

Are these numbers correct? Thanks in advanced.

With the fall of the mighty Ottoman empire, one could assume that there were major changes happening in the middle east at that time.

Apologies if this isn't the right place for this sort of question, but I am doing a project on the significance of the Meiji Restoration on Japan, and I'm looking for sources.

Any sources would be helpful, and if anyone can point me to a book or journal that directly quotes Emperor Meiji that would be ideal as I am unable to find any reliable copy of any of his speeches on the internet.

Specifically, the thieves, rapists, murderers, etc of German society. Did the Germans empty their prisons and put them in penal battalions? Were some of the more petty criminals released and put in regular units?

I know there was a battalion of released German criminals that committed some horrific crimes on the Eastern front but I was wondering if they were an outlier or if other units like them existed.

I'm not just talking about costume, I'm talking about complexion, teeth, hair.etc

Whenever I watch a medieval drama I'm always a bit put off by how adaptions everyone is perfect. Even the lowliest peasants are well groomed and fresh faced.

I can accept nobility keeping up appearances with perfect hair and attire, or is this another misconception?

Hello there /r/askhistorians !

From when I were little I've always somewhat looked up to Nicholas II of Russia, I don't know if this was because of his magnificent beard or that I watched the film Anastasia (1997) a lot during that time, which portrayed him as kind and fatherly.

Now, that's 18 years ago, and I still kinda look at him as a great person, but was he really that? Could you describe if he was considered a good tsar, did he do any good for Russia and how were the Russian Empire under his rule?

Also, if you can provide some insight on him and his familys execution that would be appreciated, was it 'justified' ?

In the year 1800, were Korea and Japan better off than India or Nigeria?

It's been widely alleged that Martin Luther King Jr. had extensive extramarital sexual affairs. The FBI attempted to use them to discredit him during his lifetime, including supposedly sending him an audio recording of one of his liaisons. However, what evidence do we have for these affairs besides the FBI? Did they really happen, and if so, how extensively? And if so, how did King reconcile them with his pastorate?

Hello, let me preface this by thanking you for your time.

I am participating in a Model United Nations conference based on the 1971 Islamabad Reconciliation Forum. I am Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

After doing my research, I am quite confused on the topic. I understand that India separated East and West Pakistan (at the time) and that the Awami League would like to separate from West Pakistan. I don't really understand the big picture of what I will be doing in the conference.

A few questions of mine:

1. Will I be completely against Sheikh Mujib Rahman and the Awami League? a) Are there any points that I should try to work with him on?
2. If the Awami league and their followers propose separation (and the consequential formation of Bangladesh), should I be completely against this?
3. Where in the world does India stand on the issues???

I do not want the answers to what I should debate nor would I like the best points to bring up in the conference. That being said, I am quite confused on the topic and I am concerned that I will not be able to hold my own in the debate. As a first generation American from the Middle East I am embarrassed to not know what I need to but I am quite thankful for redditors!

Thank you so much!

Or was it passed down through generations by word of mouth? And if so, how accurate were the passed down tales compared to their original works?
