Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
/u/thefourthmaninaboat did a great piece on the rise of the Dreadnoughts and why they kicked butt compared to earlier capital ships.
/u/kieslowskifan did an interesting piece on the state of German academia following World War II.
/u/Celebreth wrote some cool stuff on Roman military bureaucracy.
/u/kieslowskifan makes a second appearance, though a bit cheating since they were drawing on older comments. Still a good answer on the topic of Why did the USSR apparently become more anti-Semitic across its history?
/u/nebkheperure wrote an insightful comment on How much of an influence did Ancient Egyptian civilization have on Greece?
/u/TheTeamCubed provided a great deal of future reading on the topic of Has there been memoirs, biographies of Nazi scientists naturalized during Operation Paperclip? How was their assimilation into the scientific community received?
Look I have had a question that wish one of you guys would answer:Why is slavery and social death considered one of/the most important works on slavery but it's definition of slavery is rarely used in both academic and popular writings on slavery (especially non-Atlantic slavery)?
Was hoping this meta post would get more bites than it did
Essentially people asking questions about specific books (not created by Bill OReilly) almost never get answered and i would love to see if anyone has a suggestion about how to increase the chances they get answered/if others think this is a real problem as well.
