In 1942, the German government under the Nazis drew up a 30 point plan for the development of a "National Reich Church". Point 5 of this plan states

The National Church is determined to exterminate irrevocably... the strange and foreign Christian faiths imported into Germany in the ill-omened year 800.¹

Now, I know a great deal about the History of Christianity - I'm about to finish my second degree in the subject - and I have literally no idea what event in 800 this document is talking about. 800 was certainly the year Charlemagne was crowned Holy Roman Emperor by the Pope in Rome, but this event does not mark any major doctrinal or theological shifts in western Christendom.

Can anyone provide insight into what event the Nazis were referring to, and why?

When the Roman Empire conquered and incorporated the Greek city-states into the Empire, was there resentment towards the Romans among the Greeks and was there an active movement calling for independence? I am aware of there being a large-scale rebellion in Sparta at one point, which was brutally surpressed by the Romans, but are there any other examples of this?

Furthermore, I am interested in the development of Greco-Roman national identity as time went on in the Empire. We know that by the fall of the Western Empire, the Greeks living in the East still considered themselves to be Roman, well into the Middle Ages. I'm curious as to how the Greeks over time identified themselves to be Roman, despite the fact that they spoke their own language instead of Latin and have a history and culture that is more ancient than that of the Latins. During the height of the Roman Empire, say at 100 AD, was "Roman" identity firmly cemented in the Greeks' minds? And were there active movements advocating for the independence of Greek city-states from Rome during this period in particular?

Thanks in advance.

Did the 'Alexandria' names last long after Alexander was no longer around?

My professor said that New Zealand was essentially forced out of the Empire despite a lack of support for the idea of complete independence from the population and New Zealand politicians. Is this really the case? Were New Zealanders really forced to become independent, or am I just misinterpreting what he said.

I recently found out my great great grand father was pressed ganged into the "Canadian" navy. He went on one voyage over to Canada then jumped ship back to Ulster. this would probaly have bee late 1800's. Can you answer some of my questions?

Do you have any Idea what it would have been like for him?

Where pressed ganged sailors paid?

how come a Canadian ship was allowed to press gang a british citizen?

Any insight would be welcome!

Assuming it was technological development that drove new tactics, when and how were these tactics first learned and employed, such that by 1914 warfare was conducted along huge fronts defined by entrenched positions?

I'm interested in conflicts that might be seen as bridges between the tactics and uniforms of the Napoleonic wars and WW1.

Or perhaps WW1 was the first time 'conventional' warfare proved impossible/fruitless?

I'd be glad to know of any accessible books on the subject.

If so, were they given out by commanding officers ? Did only a select few elite soldiers take them ? What type of amphetamines did they take?

Naturally, having watched Robin Hood we all know that the Anglo-Saxons were simple ground down peasants and townsmen and the Normans were constantly feasting and oppressing in an oddly nationalistic way, but what about the elite Anglo-Saxons? Was the relationship between them and the incoming Normans marked by intermarriage, cooperation or conflict?

Also, was there any degree of migration of non-elite Normans to Britain?

I understand 1942 was cancelled because it was obviously the height of WWII, but by 1946 the war was over. Only 2 years later the Olympics were hosted in London, one of the heavily bombed cities in the war.

I don't quite understand how a monarchy that was always present in Germany (from the 17th century in Prussia and the HRE from the 10th century) could be so easily abolished.

Hi, I'm looking for a general introduction type book of Economic history. From at least Medieval times till the "modern era" (Bretton Woods), and potentially further back or closer to the present.

Thanks!

Also is it true that the United States did not have any inflation from its inception in 1783/1801-1936. And if so what would be the cause of this? Don't all societies over that long period of time suffer from inflation of some kind?

Why did so many separate countries declare Independence from Yugoslavia in such a short period of time? As an outsider it is hard to even figure out which modern countries are the decedents of Yugoslavia, (slovenia, serbia, croatia, bosina & h, ?)

Someone told me a story, which my Google skills can't find an basis to: "a minister in one of the largest churches in the United States got up one morning by and in front of the congration renounced Christianity" supposedly the was "mass uproar and the minister got trampled to death" this supposedly happened in the past 100 years. Any truth or complete fabrication?

My old highschool history teacher said that a reason for our close ties to America came about due to the fact that the USA was the only nation willing to send troops to our aid during the war (also we have ports which was important). How true is this statement?

Zhukov is often coined as the general who never lost a battle: He won Stalingrad, Moscow, Leningrad, Kursk, Berlin. I know that Eisenhower also praised him heavily for his generalship, but what made him so successful? I am aware that the number of soldiers he had at his disposal was massive but there had to of been more than that.

I'm not interested in academic or purely historical writings, more in getting a "feel" for what it was like to be interned in these infernal places, the day to day to the long term psychological consequences for the survivors. I'm specifically looking for any books or memoirs written by former guards. Are there any books, websites, etc that you'd recommend?

I couldn't find this on the list of FAQs so I apologize if this has been asked before.

Thanks :)
