They never seem to be discussed in this context and didn't seem to be involved in The alliance system prior to the war. What were they up to? Thanks

I'm an early modernist but have been reading a lot in late antiquity for - couple of years. I'm interested in what the last 'pagan' Persian empire was like. Thanks!

I know many welcomed the idea of war and it was of size in Italy, but how big was the movement in Britain and Germany?

I didn't want a big title, so I will ask for more info here.

When it first came around, how did they react? What did they think of their 'Gods' e.g Zeus(Greek) Jupiter(Roman). How long was it until Christianity finally spread through Rome and Greece.

Was it the Egyptians who invented papyrus? Or the much later Chinese? Wikipedia has it that it was the Chinese but I'm reading this book "history of the ancient world" by Susan Bauer and she implied that it was the Egyptians

I know that there was at least some support for Germany in the US in the 30’s, and a large percent of the population was of German heritage, was there any real chance of Roosevelt not getting elected and a different president joining the other side. Or was this faction more marginal?

Can someone recommend a book or provide some insight as to why there was long lasting growth in the North American Colonies but not in the South American Colonies?

Was Mandingo slave fighting a real thing in the American south. Just as in the movie Django, I asked my History teachers and they have all said no but others have said yes.

Some more questions:

-Did you get a degree? If so, where?

-What job do you have related to history?

-What books pertaining to your field of study would you recommend?

-What can I do with a history degree?

I'm a junior in high school and have been considering studying history in college for a long time. I have already talked to one of the mods /u/celebreth about what he does and how he started with history. I wanted to reach out to more people about this, and this is the perfect place for it. You guys have built up a great community here and everyone here is great.

Thanks for your time.

I'm curious what the theoretical maximum yield was, based on the total amount of fissile material in the bomb, and how much of that they expected to undergo fission. Did they have 90% confidence estimate of the power?

I'm asking in connection to a line by admiral Hackett in Mass Effect 3, where he said that there was possibility of setting the Earth's atmosphere on fire with an atomic explosion, but that atomic test went ahead anyway. This was to justify using a crucible device, which they had no idea what would do. However, all I found about this were some wild speculations, easily debunked, by someone who wasn't involved with the development of the bomb.

Current wars and occupations are rife, even principled upon the assault, rape and subjugation of women for sexual practice; was this practice common and rife within the nazi party and or concentration camps? I just feel like it is not mentioned as prevalently as it should be.
