Were they treated the same or less as in neighboring kumpanchea or in Mai's china or what?

What made people put them on the sides?

I assume since different events shape countries differently, how are major events addressed differently in different history curricula.

for example communism in russia / america, or world war two in japan / germany

I've heard many times that Yahweh began as a local war/storm god before eventually taking on monotheistic characteristics and becoming God Almighty around the time of the Babylonian captivity, but I'm wondering how well accepted this idea is in Biblical scholarship, and what the arguments for and against it are.

Just a question that popped into my head, how were the old and new testaments put together with all the different chapters? Was there one specific person that put it together?

I know that NATO was able to obtain quite a bit of captured Soviet gear, be they tanks, aircraft, artillery, small arms and the like. For example, there was HAVE DRILL and HAVE DONUT, where NATO was able to conduct extensive testing on Mig-17 and 21s captured by the Israelis and there was also an extensive study of a Mig-25 who's pilot defected to Japan.

While I'm sure the Soviets were able to get their hands on NATO small arms easily enough, were there any major instances of the USSR obtaining captured NATO gear for testing and evaluation?

If not, how did they go about gathering their intelligence on NATO weapons? They seemed to have at least a pretty good understanding of how most NATO stuff worked, if their manuals are anything to go off of.

I'm not so sure about the Abassids (or any of these actually, or I wouldn't be asking) but the Rashidun and Umayyads seem like successive dynasties of the same empire, rather than two separate empires. What gives?

? The internet is worse than it was for finding anything. Everybody wants to sell me something or join something else. Want to find something on the internet? spend an hour sifting sites before you stopped wondering about your question.

You Historians, educators, well read people of letters- Please don't send me back to the spiders web. Just if you know yes or no (and/or have an insight) -enlighten me.

I'm embarking on a project about Jewish Partisans in WWII and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a book on the topic. I have found a lot of memoirs, but I'm looking for something more definitive and historical. My ideal book would illuminate the place of Jewish Partisans within the greater framework of World War II.

I'm looking for a strong presentation of context, readability, lots of footnotes, and a balance of personal examples with analysis. Any suggestions? Thanks

I guess I don't know that much about the War of 1812 other than the sacking of Washington DC. How were the British able to do that to the capital of the United States and not retake the former colonies? I guess any and all information about the War of 1812 would be appreciated.

When did Bangkok become a "sex capitol"?

Were these people descendant from the same group and ended up being separated by geography?

Marx's writings imagine the dictatorship of the proletariat as a transitional phase before the state would wither away and a pure communist society would emerge. Without getting into any debates as to whether the Soviet Union actually was a socialist society or not, it's propaganda certainly thought it was.

However, if the dictatorship of the proletariat is merely a transitional period, how was this reflected in Soviet propaganda if it was at all? I suppose this question would also apply to other Marxist-Leninist states as well, so feel free to post any information on those. It would seem to undermine the near-deistic powers ascribed to the leaders of those states if they were considered transitional, and yet even a cursory familiarity with Marx would force someone to recognise that this is exactly what Marx was saying. How, if at all, did Soviet propagandists reconcile this dilemma?
