I get conflicting information. Some sources tell me there was slavery in Mexcio while Wikipedia tells me european colonizers already had African admixture.

Going by the numbers the african was introduced about seven generations ago so around 1840~.

The Mongolian Empire was surprisingly tolerant to most religions and ethnic groups, as long as you paid tribune to the Khan of the time of course.

So how was homosexuality viewed in the Empire throughout its incarnation? Was it tolerated or was it punished?

I know LGBT rights and acceptance has been a more modern development but given the tolerance of the Mongolians during their reign it's something I've been curious about.

It just seems odd to have someone under the bed and to have sex above them, and then chat with Dunyazad as she sits under the bed. There is no explanation for this. What was the significance of this action?

EDIT: in the context of the story, Shahrazad asks the king if she can say good-bye to her sister, Dunyazad before she is put to death. The King agrees, Dunyazad i summoned, the sisters say good-bye, Dunyazad goes under the bed, the king and Shahrazad have sex, then Dunyazad asks if Shahrazad will tell them a story. The king agrees, and Shahrazad tells both of them a story while Dunyazad is under the bed. Repeat this every night for 1001 nights.

just realized i don't know the answer to this. it's clear what the other islands of the british isles are named but what is the name for the Wales, Scotland and England are on.

Are the Welsh of today what is left over of the Roman Britons after the invasions of "barbaric tribes" from mainland Europe?

Someone on TIL is claiming that the US army did not give native Americans small pox infected blankets. I don't know anything about this subject but this kinda sounds wrong is this issue disputed by legitimate historians?

As a Dutchman I've been taught a lot about the suffering of the Dutch civilians in Indonesia (or Dutch East Indies) during WW2, but nothing about the native population.

I was interested about this because Prussia was one of the most militarized societies and their military was quite popular yet I have not found the exact size of it's army in the Internet.

Was it available to most people, even if they couldn't afford it?

That basically how my Dad told it to me--the US made it seem like they considered Iraq and Kuwait's relationship to be entirely their affair, but then used it as a reason for war. What statements did US politicians make about the tensions before the war?

Franz Ferdinand was not an extremely liked man in his own country as he wanted to propose serious reforms, should he become an emperor. Is there any possibility that his assassination was ordered by Vienna?

I know I sound like JFK conspiracy nuts, but I'm just wondering. Could it be possible?

While I was brushing my teeth, I realized how widespread this strange but healthy routine was. We don't see everyone doing the same for cleaning ears or... running?
