I’ve always wondered why Germans chose Argentina as their next move over other countries after WWll. Was it political? It seems some who moved there were not actually ex-nazis. Did it remind them of home? Brazil seems to be another favorite. How much is the population in Argentina percentage-wise when it comes to German roots at this point?

I am currently in fact doing an apprenticeship to civil serviceship. And I can tell you that knowing German classical literature or not has no bearing on my ability to perform well as a civil servant.

In fact the vast majority of knowledge I am currently attaining is about various laws because most of the work of a civil servant includes applying or interpreting various laws.

So you would think that the imperial Chinese examinations also would have been about legal knowledge no?

I understand most hits on carriers would be far from lifeboats around center of deck or well below, but for gunships in close in fights damaged enough to deploy lifeboats, wouldn't the lifeboats also be most likely screwed?

I was listening to the song dearest Sarah by good night Texas and wanted to know if the soldiers were told why thay were being sent ti fight

From what i know, at first the movement started harmlessly. But then later in 70s and 80s, the whole thing became asscociate with Neo-Nazi. What the reason for this?

What hot beverages did the Romans drink, that would be the equivalent of our tea or coffee?

As in, not industrialists but actual medieval nobles who lived by robbing people?

If not, where does the expression actually come from?

​

Edit: I'm asking mostly because it's difficult to imagine how such a noble wouldn't be dealt with in a fairly short order by his neighbours, if nobody else...

Title says it all. Why did the Japanese monarchy survive to the present but the Chinese monarchy fell?

I thought maybe to direct and communicate with the men loading firing and aiming the gun because of the sounds of the battle traditional communication may be extremely difficult. But he seemed to not really be looked at or focused on by the men firing the gun so I don’t know.Also it’s the 2019 film

While researching the viking age in england, I saw that the English refered to pretty much anyone from Scandinavia as a "Dane". So was the Dane Law in England really just controlled and colonized by the Danes, or did norwegian vikings and settlers also control parts of England during the viking age?

I was doing some digging into the German side of my family and found I had a great great uncle who died during ww2 fighting for Germany while my great grandfather was trying to liberate Europe. A German website I found said he died October 15, 1943 south of Gömel. The only Gömel I could find was a town in Belarus. Anyone know of anything that was happening around that time that he may have been a part of that caused it?

To get a bit more specific, say I'm the median person in the Dutch East Indies or French Indochina. If I understand it correctly after the Japanese invasions locals were put in control after many years of rule by Europeans. Did this feel like liberation or more like another foreign occupation?

I haven't heard much about Japanese atrocities against the population in those areas, in stark contrast to the war and occupation in china and korea. Is this due to those stories never really reaching me or was there actually a significant difference in the way Japan handled those areas?

Googleing around tells me that there are definitely plenty of reports of Japanese soldiers and collaborators attacking civilians but it's hard for me to gauge the scale and compare it say china due to the difference in length of occupation, population, etc.

Just watched Heartbreak Ridge and it didn't give any explanation as to why we invaded. Also didn't feel like googling it and thought you historians could explain it in simpler terms.

Slavery in western culture largely came to the end at the start of the industrial revolution, but slaves were mainly used in agriculture. Why were there not factories worked by slaves instead of freemen at this time? Especially in places like the Southern United States, but I'm also curious about colonies and South America.
