Did he do it because Ayatollah Khomeini wrote poetry and signed them Hendi?

Or did he do it to play on Iranian fears of some sort of British conspiracy?

Or another reason?

How contested were the final decisions to secede?

[clarification if necessary]

I know there are a bunch of folk songs and opera and what not and I'm probably missing something super obvious (sorry if I am), but were there singers/songs as famous as people like Mozart/Bach? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

EDIT: "Changed the drinking age FROM 18." My mistake.

Did the alcohol industry put up a defense? What about the public?

Greetings historians! I am a senior finishing my BA in history. My senior thesis is going to concern the Paris Commune, as that is where a majority of my general research was done last semester for another class. I believe the best way to sum up my thesis is to say I am studying the role the Paris Commune had on anarcho-marxist relations. I think its fascinating the Commune is such a key point to both branches of ideology, yet the actions of the Commune eventually led to the 1872 meeting of the First International in the Hague where the anarchists were removed from the Internation.

I was hoping for two things from you. First, your thoughts on the topic itself and if I should maybe modify it? And second, what primary sources do you recommend for this topic?

The textbook is not very in-depth in comparison to the lectures. His class is purely based on his lectures and I've realized that they're riddled with conjecture and his personal feelings stated as facts and I feel like I need to fact check all of my notes. The class is on Asian History (with a focus on India, China, and Japan) which I'd really like to learn about but I feel like this class is detrimental to learning.

He's referenced the Bible as a relevant text every day so far.

Were there other systems that didn't have a 24 hour day? Why did the 24 hour clock catch on over other systems?

by spirit i mean a form of alcohol it's a question in a bartender exam i have from work (i know right!? exam from work!?!?) I have no idea on the answer and cant seem to find it myself through research

I imagine losing your slaves would be rather financially devastating, was there any sort of recompense offered by the North to those affected?

I'd assume that no animal remotely similar, or as human-like, existed in Europe. How did the explorers react to seeing chimpanzees or gorillas for the first time? Are there any journals they had maintained that mentioned them?

I was reading about the Battle of Crècy where it was the first cited combat use and the English only lost 100-300 while the French lost roughly 2,000, then the French ended up winning the war.

I've heard a lot of conspiracy theories but nothing solid.

What did other countries do (aside from invasion) to stop it? did other countries try to send aid?

Personal anecdotes welcome! I am not trying to take over Ask Historians lol but I wanted a place with slightly looser mod rules.

In countries like the United States, there is a particular time period which, if not unanimously and precisely, can be generally referred to as the American Revolution. Certainly no one would say that the current government could be referred to as revolutionary. However, I commonly hear of countries such as Iran and Cuba which consider themselves to still be revolutionary and in which individuals can be prosecuted for opposing the revolution. How is it that these countries can call what has essentially become the entrenched form of government revolutionary? Is it a misnomer or is there a particular definition of which I am ignorant that allows for a regime which is more than half of a century old too be considered revolutionary?

Additionally, did the graffiti styles begin to differ more in later years?

I was playing Total War, and it occured to me that when archers were firing into the skirmishes, only the enemy side ever got hit, despite the men being scattered around, and closely packed.

So, how often did archers hit their own men?
