Every documentary I see talks about the huge number of unexploded bombs in Vietnam/Laos and how they are still taking lives today. How difficult is it to make a bomb explode?

Is there anyone here with knowledge/information on early South African history?

Most of what I can find relating to early cultural conflict in South Africa relates to the colonial invaders. However, I am more interested in the Bantu-speaking African invaders traveling South into the land of the Khoi and Khoisan, and what conflicts that invasion caused.

Was there a 'land-grab' or extensive conflicts when these cultures came across each other? How did it pan out?

While rightly famous for their roads and aqueducts, how were the Romans at canal digging?

Is there evidence of Roman canals connecting rivers in Europe, or separating Britain from Caledonia (Scotland) north of Hadrian's Wall , or across an isthmus like at Corinth or the Crimea (Bosporan Kingdom)?

Could they have connected the Danube with the Rhine/Main allowing direct shipping from the North Sea to the Black Sea?

Dear reddit historians,

I know that Charlemagne's court was peripatetic; He moved from one palace to another in his realm. I also have the general impression that many medieval European monarchs used to tour in their kingdoms to attend religious ceremonies, resolve disputes, and hear grievances.

In China, Qin Shi Huang toured in eastern China with his entourage multiple times. However, It seems to me that many Chinese emperors in later times just stayed in the palace and rarely left the capital. The emperors were often portrayed as distant and inaccessible to the common people.

My questions is in the title: how peripatetic were monarchs before modern era? How often do monarchs travel and tour around? Is being peripatetic an established form of governing in the Western tradition?

I thank you for your answers in advance.

Sources would be appreciated as I'm interested in this subject and want to learn more about it

The Dred Scott case was an interesting and complex one in and of itself (not least because of the involvement of Justice Taney, a wonderfully intriguing figure), but I'm most interested here in what part the ruling played in the deterioration - already well on its way I'm aware - in political and judicial cooperation between North and South and the ultimate decision to go to war. How did it exacerbate existing tensions? Did it bring anything new to the table? What impact, in any, did the politicisation of judicial and legal decisions in the Dred Scott and the slave court cases which preceded it have on increasing tensions and decreasing the likelihood of an amicable agreement being reached?

A lot of our words today have origins or roots in Latin. Is there any other language Latin drew from and if so how did we find out?

This struck me while eating my beef this afternoon. How long have we been eathing meat? Raw meat isn't really easy to chew and it doesn't really taste that good, plus it has a lot higher chance to spread different types of diseases., so did we eat it even though it was raw before we found out that you can actually cook it?

Follow up: are there any standards for hood colors? Or were they chosen by each institution?

I figured this would be a much more common question here, but I couldn't really find anything. By this, I don't mean religions which arose from other religions such as Christianity - rather, how did people come to believe in Odin, Mars, Ares, Shiva, Baal, and Yahweh? Could these have been tales of real people that came to be exaggerated over time? Were they initially conceived as stories which eventually came to be taken literally? Some of the complex relationships between Gods and religious characters seem unusually complex, and I could imagine that being the result of either cultural diffusion or actual stories being corrupted.

Which theories are generally accepted among historians, and which seem most reasonable to you?

It was only in service for 20 years (then briefly later under Septimius Severus, but still). What happened?

I'm curious to why dogfight kills seem to matter more in public recognition than kills made by members of the other parts of the armed forces. Sure, men like Audie Murphy got fame for acts of heroism, but the word Red Baron seems more familiar than Audie Murphy and Simo Hayha (who has the world's largest count for sniper kills, using a scopeless rifle at that). Another question is, why are several flying aces of German nationality? And why don't guided missile kills matter in flying ace kills?

My AP Euro teacher is Bosnian and says he fought in the Bosnian Civil war of the latter 20th-century. I didn't want to ask him since that may dredge up bad memories for him.

Thanks in advance!
