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.

Not overlooked, but I enjoyed reading u/SickHobbit 's answers on Indonesian independence and its consequences. Both because it's something I'd been meaning to read more about; and because as OP noted the topic is not as well-known outside of Indonesia and the Netherlands as it probably should be (e.g. compared to other decolonial struggles).

Another recent and nuanced answer that I liked is u/White___Velvet on In what ways is intellectual history different from the history of ideas?

I found /r/commiespaceinvader's answer to "Are there really 3 types of historian?" to be informative.
