• /u/RusticBohemian asked The US went to war to expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait. But was Kuwait the primary concern, or was it fear that Iraq was going to invade Saudi Arabia next, and wanted to prevent 40% of the world's oil reserves from falling into Saddam Hussein's hands?

• /u/manau_bih asked How did industrial workers work so much?

• /u/RudraAkhanda asked What is the difference between 'Jews', 'Hebrews', and 'Israelites'? Egyptologist Jan Assman, in his Moses the Egyptian, says that these are different things but does not elaborate on how.
