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.
Among the unanswered questions of this week, I'm particularly interested in seeing an answer to the question of u/Knozs about the political influence of ancient Greek queen consorts.
/u/Georgy_K_Zhukov on "If I was a gunfighter or entered into a gun duel in the 18th/19th century in America, what gun and Caliber would I have most likely fought with?"
/u/the_howling_cow answering "Why was the army during the US Civil War split by state, like the 54th Massachusetts but during WW1, WW2 and all conflicts sense states have nothing to do with the naming of regiments? What changed?"
/u/thewellspokenman answered "How did wristwatches assist in military maneuvers in WWI? SFW"
So I’d like to share the question I asked that was generously answered by /u/MrDowntown
