It is said that the Mob helped the US during the conflict with Cuba. How did the US get in contact with the mob? Instead of arresting them? Did the Mob see an incentive to help the government? (self.askhistorians)

Not trying to get religious or anything but just asking for facts or similarities.

When in history did the homosexual and others alike become main stream hate? Wasn't homosexuality going on in Rome and other areas? Isn't this like denying history? Why or why not? (self.askhistorians)

During the Escape from Alcatraz was it actually possible at the time to swim to shore? If not then why didn't they search for bodies to say they died? Or was it just a perfect storm of events? (self.askhistorians)

Was FDR's the new deal really that huge at the time? Or is it just the way history remembers it? Did people just hop on board and help? Or was it overblown by historians? (self.askhistorians)

It seems that the MAGA movement is earily similar to what I learned about the Nazis before Hitler took office? Like blind obedience and hatred toward certain groups? Or am I wrong? Why? (self.askhistorians)

How was the message of the Hiroshima nuke received in germany? (sopuli.xyz)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/askhistorians

Germany capitulated on WW2 on 8 May 1945. Hiroshima was nuked on 6 August 1945, 90 days later.

Was the public reaction one of relieve, since germany could also have been nuked by that weapon if the war lasted any longer for the third Reich? Where any public statements made by german politicians or articles written on the topic of the Hiroshima bomb in german media at the time? How did imprisoned Nazis in Nürnberg process prison react to the message, did they even receive it? Was the reaction different in the soviet occupied areas?

How did the Mongol Conquest of China influence chinese religions? (sopuli.xyz)

When the Mongols captured China and established the Yuan dinasty. Did elements of the Mongol religion Tengrism transfer to Chinese religions like Confucianism? Did Han-Chinese convert to Tengrism?

How can this be understood from a European perspective: Did comparable Nomadic conquest of an agrarian empire happen in Europe without any religious conversion?
