I’ll level with you history fans. Its hot here. I’m melting, and it isn’t helped by the fact my laptop has like 70 tabs open and crying out for them to be shut down. But the digest calls, and we must answer the call! So tune in for another fantastic collection of history writings from everyones favorite place to ask historians about stuff. Don’t forget to check out the usual weekly features, we’ve got some great special threads, thank those hard working contributors, and have fun!

• Tuesday Trivia: Urbanisation! This thread has relaxed standards—we invite everyone to participate!

• Get some reading ideas in the Thursday Reading and Rec Thread!

And that’s it for another week! I’m going to go disappear into the shade of some nice tree’s somewhere and hope for a breeze, but you fine folks enjoy all the wealth the subreddit has to offer! Keep it classy, and I’ll see you next week!

Sunday also gives us a chance to show some appreciation for the fantastic questions that caught our curiosity, but still remain unanswered. Feel free to add your own, or others you came across, and perhaps we’ll get lucky and catch the eye of a wandering expert.

• /u/RusticBohemian asked The Civilian Conservation Corps's national and state parks sometimes seemed developed with a grand vision in mind. Others seem ad hoc, with amenities scattered at random. How well planned were the original CCC parks?

• /u/Shashank1000 asked In the 1980's NZ carried out a radical economic reform in which all the farm subsidies were abolished and sector became entirely market oriented. How was NZ able to carry it out without opposition while other developed countries were not which continue to subsidise it even as if it is very small?

• /u/TheHondoGod asked After Quebec was taken by the British during the 7 Year War, did it see much immigration from France? In the centuries after, has there been much non-British immigration to Quebec?
