What were the main reasons for this?

Did Moses and the Greek myths exist around this time?

I was reading through the Pakistan Wikipedia page which led me to the Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts page and I notice that the U.S. not only offered military and diplomatic support during the war but they were also one of the last nations to recognize Bangladesh as a nation. Was the war more opaque morally at the time or were there alternative motives at work?

Originally I would think Lithuania would be rather against the idea of losing its property? Was this not the case or were they more attracted to the idea of another kingdom?

We naturally picture fighter pilots during WWII getting into a thrilling dogfight every time they went up in the air, but I'm going to guess that was probably not the case.

What percentage of American WWII fighter pilots ever actually fired their guns in anger at an enemy fighter? Would most missions have actually been uneventful? What percentage of dogfights actually ended in one plane being shot down, rather than one simply disengaging and retreating? Was a pilot more likely to die as a result of an accident than being shot down by an enemy pilot? Was it more likely to be shot down by flak than another fighter?

What about say the gunners on board a bomber? I guess I am just looking for statistics mainly to get a better sense of what was "normal" for pilots and air crew during WWII, as opposed to what was sensational and what we see on TV.

I heard that marshmallows were popular in postwar America similar to jello. What were they used for and why?

Was it from the Carthaginian Barca family or a native Iberian name?

You had so many empires and nations controlling Italy, but it was never really Italians ruling Italy, why is that ?

Watching Bill Nye the other night debate Ken Ham was great. But he kept referencing that the Ken Ham model of creation is dependent on the countless - er - NUMEROUS retranslations that have occurred. My questions is: How many scribes played Biblical telephone and what could have or is verifiably lost due to the translations?

I'm writing a paper about a major character and a little known character. I was thinking about the Grimke sisters for the major ones, but little known people are hard to find, because they're little known. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Do you know where I could find a little known figure? Thanks!

Early Reform includes: Second Great Awakening, Women's Rights, Education, Temperance, Utopian Communities, Abolition, Humane Treatment of Prisoners, etc.

It's just a quick question. I am confused as to why she didn't go by Julia. Was it a societal, family, or personal convention? or am i misunderstanding female roman naming convention?

I would think the majority of the able bodied males would have fought in World War 1. World War 2, only being a short time later, would create a sort of a gap in available men to fight. Correct?

Germanicus was a Julian, of a good age, a tested and highly successful general, and could surely be taught and excel in administration considering his competence in all other areas. Meanwhile, Tiberius was a Claudius, was at the time exiled and completely astray from the political scene, and his relationship with Augustus was sour. Even though he may have had more administrative experience and was possibly just as able, if not more able, a general as Germanicus, surely Drusus' son was the better option?

What would happen if there was someone of Jewish blood who was (for arguments sake) a Catholic? Or a person of European descent who followed Judaism? Were both exterminated or just the ethnic Jews?
