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.
We’re back for another history packed edition of the Digest! The best compilation of threads I put together each week. Written by some amazing people and on a truly staggering variety of history topics. We’ve also had a number of special features, and just so many meta posts. So buckle in redditstorians (That’s a thing now I’m sure.) because we have a heck of a of a list to run through.
Start off with the new entry in our Rules discussion! Make sure to ask questions if you want clarification, or share your thoughts. Rules Roundtable II: The Four Questions - What Does a Good Answer Look Like?
