Battle of Seattle The revisions significantly improve this question. I was tempted to reopen after editing the title to "Why is the Battle of Seattle considered influential?", but (a) I still don't know who considers it influential and (b) most of the rest of the answer seems embedded in the question. There may be a good question buried in here, but I'm not sure we have it yet. |

Why was nude male art so acceptable, popular and officially supported in Germany? I did not. That is a quote from BBC History magazine. I don't have permission to quote more, but the issue was not racial. |

Historical use of alcohol as a source of clean water I will grant you that they drank beer, but was the motivation for drinking beer "to not drink water", or was it that beer is good? |

To what can we trace the idea of “civic responsibility”? Difficult argument to make, given that there is very clear evidence of civic responsibility (Aedile, Quaestor) in Rome, long before Napoleonic nationalism. I'm not sure that "the common man" is necessary for civic responsibility, unless you redefine one of the two terms. |

When were swords last used in European warfare? Very nice list. Two quick comments - first, the OP did ask about "European" warfare, and second, citations would have been fantastic. |
