Where would an African or a Caribbean immigrant sit? If someone immigrated from Jamaica, Nigeria, Haiti, Congo, etc. Would they still be told to sit in the back of the bus with their American counterparts? Also where did Puerto Ricans and Virgin Islanders sit at on the bus when they arrived in the mainland? Where did Asians and Natives sit?

This is something I've heard when it comes to him, apparently, the man had a meeting with the KKK and had a good relationship with George Lincoln Rockwell. Is that really true? Was he really buddies with the far-right?

I’ve heard that the general sentiment of the time saw the Bronze Age civilisations as so advanced and impressive that they believed themselves to be degenerations of them. I’ve also heard this was an extension of their general perspective on history, that ‘their best years were behind them’ as it were and didn’t think of the future as progression like we do nowadays. Can anyone confirm or redress this?

It's late 12th-century England, sometime after 1176 but before 1189, so Henry II is king. A lay person is murdered inside a religious institution — monastery, abbey, something like that.
Who is responsible for investigating the crime?
Who is responsible for punishing the killer?
Does this change depending on whether the killer was a lay person or clergy?
Was this a clear demarkation that everyone knew and accepted, or was it open to argument?

With all the talk of a second American Civil War, I’ve heard it could look similar to Ireland’s The Troubles. From my extremely limited knowledge of those events, it seems like most of the more notable happenings occurred in cities. What did the average Irish (or Northern Irish) rural or small town person experience? Was day-to-day much different from “normal” and how so?

We have a large body on Ancient Greek and Roman thought and philosophy, as well as their world view and values.
Can you guys point me to some books and articles about the philosophy and world views of their contemporaries in the Ancient Near East?

As we all know, WWI ended at 11/11/18. But my question is: How did the common foot soldier learn that it was 11 AM and not 10:59? I mean, it would be a sporadic stop across that last minute as some watches would be faster or slower, right?

The question popped up while my wife was doing research on her novel, which is set in a fictional universe that parallels Ming Dynasty China. We tried to do research, but we have yet to come with an actual time frame.
To be clear, by "return to normal" I mean a state where all the bodies have been cleared out and conditions were roughly the same as what they were before the battle: People walking about freely, businesses reopening, vendors and traders selling their wares on the street, so on and so forth.
The research I've done so far has been largely inconclusive. Most of the webpages I'm seeing for the aftermath of Ming Dynasty battles don't really talk about the return to more mundane, day-to-day tasks, they largely talk about diplomatic ramifications and civilian casualties and such.

While going through tiktok, a young gentleman was showing that the DPRK did not invade South Korea, rather the US and UN drawer border lines and then accused North Korea (DPRK) of invasion. He uses a book called "The Korean war" by Hugh Deane.
So did the UN and US invade with an excuse, or did the DPRK forces truly invade South Korea to which we came to the aid of them?

I'm currently in a history class that has a lesson based around the retrial of Anne Hutchinson. I am on the Anti-Hutchinson side and am looking for some help on formulating good, accurate, and valid arguments. One of the main topics I have focused on for the debates with the Pro-Hutchinson side is the issue of ministers in puritan society. Puritans rely heavily on ministers and Anne is challenging that. I am not necessarily looking for the answers, but guidance in this situation. TIA!

Despite Hobsbawm's life long dedication to communist ideals, this still seems like a extremely contentious remark. How controversial is this opinion?

Nazi symbols were ubiquitous in public space in Nazi Germany: Hitler portraits in public buildings, swastikas, memorial statues to events considered remarkable by the Nazis like the 1923 Putsch. There are still some statues around which were set up during the Nazi period (mainly naked men and women with tight butts), but I have never heard of a Hitler statue anywhere. I heard about Hitler busts which were displayed in public buildings, but I have never heard of a statue in a public square.
On the other hand, Stalin had statues built of himself during his lifetime, as well as Salazar apparently and Franco, as well as Mussolini. Were there actually Hitler statues I am not aware of? Were statues planned but never built? Or were statues of Hitler not in-line with Nazi aesthetics/ideology of art?
Edit: My intention is not to equate Hitler with the other people I named. I simply wanted to point out that powerful people building statues of themselves was not uncommon during that time.
2nd edit: I have received messges of people telling me there were indeed Hitler statues, presenting me life-sized busts of his head as evidence, which were displayed indoors. Please not that I am not talking indoor busts but full statues. I feel that busts follow a different art-historical tradition and invoke different associations in propaganda than full body statues in public squares, which is why I would like to seperate busts from (complete) statues. However, if someone can convincingly argue from an art-historical perspective that indoor busts follow the same tradition as outdoor statues and have an interchangeable purpose in propaganda (which I find hard to imagine!), I would by satisfied.
