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.
OK, taking a brief break from AMA duties, here is my weekly rundown!
/u/keyilan on "For historians of Ancient China, how does the PRC government influence current historiography?"
/u/lost_scribe on "Where did the trope of barbarians disdaining "decadent" Roman/Greek/fantasy cultures come from?"
/u/DsagjiiggsScjjigsjsb on "How much did the Joseon court of the 1800s resemble the Joseon court of the 1300s/1400s?"
let's add [Was Frederick the Great Gay?] (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/3c0e0e/was_frederick_the_great_gay/csr85xk) by /u/sid_burn
and a shoutout to the whole AMA
I found /u/vepr157's post on the difference between Soviet and American sub design here to be very interesting, as were his followup comments.
