I have recently read some of Franz Fanon's work, and found him to be quite fascinating. In The Wretched of the Earth, Fanon seems to suggest that military power is the language of the colonizer, and that is the language through which a discourse must be achieved. What was French sentiment towards Algeria at this time?

It seems the majority of these type of events that are so commonly known only ever come from European history. I'm most interested in those that occurred in other regions, especially those that truly took a toll on specific empires.

Dear R/AskHistorians

I'm looking for professional guidance about how to make myself appealing to PhD programs.

I am interested in Europe of the long eighteenth century.

Many programs are looking for at least 2 languages other than English, but I would like to push myself to have 3 (recognizing that one may be elementary level at the time I graduate with my MA, but at least has the basis for continued study).

I have an advanced proficiency in French already. What other languages would be appropriate to know in order to have the widest scope over the eighteenth century and its scholarship?

Any advice is welcome and much appreciated.

Sincerely, TheTimeRoadRunner

I used to teach American Lit, and it seemed as if the script used a lot of the words of the principals, but did it accurately reflect their meanings?

It seems like they could have. Would they not then have controlled basically the entire Pacific? It seems weird they just attacked, and then retreated.

This might not be the proper subreddit but I would imagine this has some historical significance. Was this some sort of ancient product bashing? For example: "Goat milk is EVIL but our cow milk is DIVINE! Try some today at your local trade post!". Ancient propaganda? I'm just spit balling here but I would like a legitimate answer. Hope to hear back soon!

I suppose this also goes for almost all the pre-columbians civilizations of the Americas (Except for the Mayas) but the more I learn about how advanced these civilizations were the more I am fascinated how they accomplished so much without written language. I'm curious to any research/theories there are among historians about this.

Was there ever a group before, during, or immediately after the Revolutionary War that felt like THEY should be the ones to decide in which direction the country should go?

I'm writing a paper on the Punic wars, most notably technology and political advancements. I need primary sources and I am quite lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Obviously quite a speculative topic. What are your opinions?

I'm a senior in high school, and just today learned what Dresden was. Not through history class either. It was alluded to in a book we're reading in English. It sounds like a pretty big event, so why have I never heard of it before?

I understand that the SS was more of an elite branch but it feels more like a WW2 Marine Corps. Did Nazi Germany have any small special forces? For example the SEAL teams which exist now.

Obviously they got their civil rights, but i'm talking about things that still happen today that the Civil Rights Movement aimed to end, Like widespread poverty.

I've heard that his writing is quite biased and I would like an opinion.

I imagine some people took personal slaves, and I know california became a free state in 1850, but was it ever attempted?

Thanks
