Now I know Jutland's conclusion is sometimes portrayed as a British defeat, but to me, it seems pretty clear without the signal intercepts from Room 40, the British battlecruisers may have been wiped out without major damage to German forces. So did this information reach to German circles in the interwar years? As I understand, Jutland was one of the most studied naval battles of that period.

I’ve been really interested in the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) lately, and I was wondering what books or media there is on it. I know of George Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia”, but I don’t know much else. What materials would you recommend?

Basically, many of the times when you read about the swahili coast you find that Mogadishu is usually referred to as being the northern-most state of the Swahili coast, and as being one of the cities that rose to prominence first. Why is it that Mogadishu is included in the Swahili coast despite the fact that in the modern day Mogadishu is not inhabited by Swahili nor is it in a nation with many swahili at all (It is Somali.) So is its inclusion indicative of it once being built and inhabited by Swahili, or does it mean something else?

I guess I'm just wondering what kept a bunch of real rowdy dudes from coming in and wiping out a group of people while they were building their defenses. Or did that just happen all the time?

I am aware that the text is not named "Tibetan Book of the Dead" in Tibetan (the Tibetan Title is "Liberation Through Hearing During the Intermediate State"), and that within Tibet's literary corpus, it is not as famous to Tibetans as other texts are; it is a single terma within the Nyingma tradition, which is not even the most powerful school of Tibetan Buddhism.
Nor, from my readings of a few Tibetan texts in English translations, is it the easiest text for a non-Tibetan Buddhist to understand or appreciate. So why was it chosen to be translated so early, and what made the translation so famous?

Could I also see my kids? Even if my husband had custody, was I entitled to visitation?
Did I get alimony or spousal support? Or could I have just rang up the bills in my husbands’ name and just sent the creditors after him a la Caroline Norton?

In "The History of Southeast Asia: Every Year" by EmperorTigerstar, Maritime Southeast Asia was divided into many political entities. Even the mighty Srivijaya and Majapahit empires couldn't unify all of Sumatra and Java. Meanwhile, Mainland Southeast Asia kingdoms were bigger and less divided. What made it Mainland Southeast Asian kingdoms less fractured than Maritime Southeast Asia kingdoms.

compare the battle of Lugdunum in the early 3rd century which saw up to 150,000 men on the field to the battle of Agincourt, a key battle of the 100 years war which only saw maybe 30,000 men. What did contemporary scholars think of this?

According to some relatives we are part of a Turcoman Tribe which claims ancestry from the ancient Kingdom of Loulan and our Tribe is even named as such. From what I can garther my ancestors were Turkmens or broadly Turcomans which traveled from the Khorasan Region to Anatolia around thousand years ago and common knowledge dictates that Turks "appeared" in the midst of China and Siberia.
Can someone shine some light into the indo-european seeming Loulan Kingdom and modern Turks?

My knowledge of Chinese history is admittedly quite scant, but from what I've understood, Cao's ascension to the throne was legitimate and Jin especially would have had the incentive to portray it as such, since they succeeded in almost exactly the same way. Shu-Han, meanwhile, had no real claim to the throne beyond a (supposed) decree against Cao Cao and an unproven familial link to the Liu clan--claims which were presumably extinguished when Liu Shan surrendered. Moreover, the same sources that heroise Shu (The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, most obviously) assert that Han had, in fact, already lost the heavenly mandate. Why, then, by the time of the Ming dynasty, was Shu-Han held in such high regard (and indeed often asserted the real precursors to later dynasties)?

In the former film, Churchill is seen as a respected advisor to the royal who seems to oppose Edward’s marriage to Wallis Simpson, and is the one who suggests Bertie use King George VI as his name.
In the latter, King George seems to despise Churchill and they certainly don’t seem to have the relationship that they had in “The King’s Speech” (though they do develop one later). Churchill also states in that movie that King George “never forgave him for supporting his brother’s marriage to Wallis Simpson”.
Which of these portrayals more accurately represents the relationship of the two? Also, where did Churchill stand on Edward’s marriage to Simpson?

During the early to middle 18th century, Ayutthaya was the most populous city on earth with a population of 1 million. Why was that the case?
Usually, trade from Europe and India to China goes through the Malacca straits and doesn’t involve going deep into the Gulf of Thailand and 100 km up the Chao Phraya River, yet how did Ayutthaya thrive as a huge trading center?
If a thriving trading center in the Kingdom of Ayutthaya were to exist, it would be either the city of Phuket as it is in the straits of Malacca.
If the city’s prosperity doesn’t rely on it being on an important maritime route, what products were sold there that made the city so attractive to traders?
I asked this question on r/Thailand, but I only got part of the information. I decided to ask it here for more.

Hi there!
This question was sparked by a discussion with a friend. I claimed the Nazis were popular during WW2, while my friend claimed the opposite. I now realize I don't have anything substantive to back this claim, while my friend just has anecdotes. It certainly seems like an important question! (And a hard one to answer.)
I tried looking around for papers on this topic but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I am interested in the German public support for the Nazis post-enabling act, so the election results from 1932 aren't really what I am after.
My line of thinking is that the massive propaganda efforts, sense of nationalism and patriotism put forth by the Nazis, creation of a scapegoat (in the Jewish people), and a general "spirit" of the time associated with the Nazis would have contributed to popularity for the Nazis, but again I don't know if this is actually the case. And obviously, metrics you might use in a free and open society like "party membership" are probably basically useless in a totalitarian regime, so a clever way around this problem is needed.
The one thing I did find was this paper that claims anti-semitism among Germans educated during the Nazi reign is significantly higher than other age cohorts - suggesting Nazi propaganda can be effective. I would imagine there is a correlation between anti-semitism in Germany at the time and Nazi support, but this doesn't seem conclusive for my question either - since the youth don't represent the general population, and the correlation might not even hold.
Any insight would be very much appreciated!

Is there data about how popular the Nazis respectively their ideology was outside of Germany in the general population from early thirties to the end of the 2nd WW? In occupied countries as well as non occupied countries. Especially interesting to me are USA, Russia, England, Netherlands, France, Poland, Greece, Switzerland, Sweden. A list of Nazi support ranked by country would be awesome.

Hellohello,
I'm a student and i am doing a paper on the divinity of Augustus, more specifically if he had a particular role in the spread of this divine imagery in the Roman Empire. Now, in the Aeneid theres this part where Aeneas (son of Venus) goes to meet his father and he tells him about his future descendants, including Augustus. The way he is portrayed is really flattering and considering the fact Augustus most likely knew Vergilius makes it seem that the emperor somehow had influence on the writing of the epos (or not, thats why im looking for information lol). Anyway, I'm looking for academic articles i can use in my paper regarding this subject. I know its a bit of a stretch but it would really help me out since i can't seem to find a lot on the subject.
Thanks!! :))
