What advanced educational opportunities were available to native Africans in the early 1890's? We know Tintin was teaching history (later changed to mathematics) to Africans in his adventures in Congo. ^_~ |

What was the American policy on colonisation and why? Do you have a flag? How about a national anthem? Why? No reasons whatsoever... Don't worry about it. |

Has mercantilism ever been successful? Let me dig a few reference materials (colonialism during the renaissance is probably where to look) but overall, I do not think so. |

What are the scholarly opinions on the idea of the “European Civil War”? I really fail to see how comparing WW1 and WW2 to the Thirty Years Wars make any sense whatsoever. Sure, there were similarities but they are all superficial. Did you mean to say the Seven Years war which has been described as the first true world war -- by Churchill I believe. |

What were the rights of various classes of people in the Roman Republic? Which period of time do you want to know about? Depending on how you define Roman you could include Byzantium and the Holy Roman Empire as well as The Roman Empire and Republic. |

Quantitative comparison of transportation cost per kilometer over the centuries? Could you narrow down your question to something that can be answered here? Which centuries? Which continents? Which method of transport? ... As it stands the question is too vast |

When did homosexuality become unacceptable in Europe? Homosexuality was acceptable in Rome as well. However, the more the Empire become Christian, the less it tended to be practised. However, I have no real evidence of this. |

Were Pope John Paul I's views anything that could imply a support for contraception? I voted to close as the question as it stands is unclear and speculative. You could easily re-write it a little to move from the realms of speculation into facts and it would be a great question. |
