Mar 18	awarded	Citizen Patrol
Mar 18	comment	What caused Yugoslavia to switch sides early in World War II? I would emphasize input from non-English written sources provided by such users. Judging from the Polish or Russian example, the number of areas where the English books/articles lag behind the current research is unexpectedly high; here-and-there they could be considered plainly incorrect.
Mar 18	comment	What was Lenin's “New Economic Policy” and what complications did it have? +1 Exemplary answer.

Mar 16	comment	Why have wheat and rice been consumed in different forms? Cereals like barley and oats were often consumed boiled; this became less popular after potato appeared. The problem is the hard crust, which needs to be removed first, and the result is kasha. With wheat there is another problem - too much gluten. The boiled whole-seed wheat kasha would be chocking and nearly non-chewable, in my opinion. The actual wheat kasha (farina) is fine-ground and watered down to the point when it becomes edible but loses almost all of the "cereal" taste. Bread requires more work but tastes much better.

Mar 11	comment	Contemporary opinions on Caliph Omar's burning of the library of Alexandria? I'd say this should be added right away to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions Great answer.
Mar 11	comment	Recommended order for reading Horatio Hornblower series? I started with Mr Midshipman Hornblower and it did hook me all right. I wouldn't say it's weaker than Happy Return.

Mar 1	comment	What scholarly perspectives comparatively analyse mass-killings and genocides? This site is not for polling or open discussion. You provide criteria, people try to provide the answer.

Mar 1	comment	Motivation Behind the USSR Assisting China's Nuclear Program +1 for sourcing, and welcome to the site.
Feb 25	comment	Why Canada failed to emerge as a power like UK or France? A quick glance at population chart shows that there is very little correlation with economical/political power. Israel (97th population in the world) so much below Belarus (87th). Australia (52nd) much below Uzbekistan (42nd). France, a nuclear power (21st), is below Vietnam (13th).
