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.
October has swept in and left me with some beautiful fall leaves. While I get to gaze at wonderous nature while writing this, it lets you all gaze at a wonderous list of fantastic threads! All ripe for the reading and ready to harvest. Don’t forget to show some appreciation for the hard working writers, drop some thanks and share some upvotes!
Monday Methods: The Technical vs. The Contextual with /u/Valkine!
AskHistorians Podcast Episode 183: 19th Century Great Power Politics with /u/starwarsnerd222
Pretty casual Friday Free for All this week.
Good META time. Why are there so many Nazi questions here?
That wraps me up for yet another week. Take it easy out there everyone, enjoy your October wherever you might be, and I’ll see you next Sunday. I’m off to celebrate Canadian (IE the best) Thanksgiving, so I hope you’ll forgive somewhat fewer puns and quicker editing!
Sunday is also a chance to show some appreciation for this fascinating yet overlooked questions which remain unanswered. Feel free to add your own to the list and maybe we’ll get lucky with a wandering expert!
