Feb 25	comment	Motivation Behind the USSR Assisting China's Nuclear Program They are? Could you provide a source or two, not only to prove this, but also to give us a starting point to research. Oh, and welcome to History SE.
Feb 24	comment	The history of the idea that lack of moral censure leads to decline The old blame the young's moral laxity, the young blame the old's inaction.
Feb 23	comment	Why Canada failed to emerge as a power like UK or France? makes sense, I guess I could have phrased it with a bit more diplomacy.
Feb 21	comment	Why Canada failed to emerge as a power like UK or France? Not all powers on the G-7 are world powers.
Feb 21	comment	Why Canada failed to emerge as a power like UK or France? Germany did emerge as a power twice, but it was defeated twice. Italy? As Bismarck said, Italy has a large appetite, but not the teeth to eat. Spain? It was, then it was destroyed by inflation.
Feb 20	comment	Why does Europe have so few skyscrapers compared to East Asia? @jwenting, yup, but I didn't want to take away from my original point, however, this is documented in answers below this one.
Feb 17	comment	Hitler's Religion or Atheism @Anixx, I don't think you understood my comment. I am not denying he was a Christian nor am I saying he was atheist, but rather we need sources.
Feb 17	comment	Hitler's Religion or Atheism @Anixx, Couldn't someone turn that around and say "he was atheist, what proof do you need?" We are a history forum, we need sources, we need proof.
Feb 4	comment	Was a technological advantage more effective in European warfare than in China's history? In China, the use of land mines defeated a Mongol army. Mean while, in the Zulu war, the British, with maximun guns were almost wiped out by a group of men armed with spears.
Feb 4	comment	What is the meaning behind Thomas Nast's political cartoon “Compromise--Indeed!”? @ReliableSource, Politics is back?
Feb 2	comment	Why did Fakhr-al-Din seek a treaty with Tuscany, of all places? I cannot answer this, but thanks for asking it, it's lead me to learn some very cool things. +1
Jan 30	comment	Was Christianity legalized during the Meiji Restoration? He could have made them two different questions.
Jan 29	comment	Why has bidet use not spread to the northern countries of Europe? So, it's putting the emphasis somewhere else. The first one had the emphasis on washing your anus and the form I suggested had more of an emphasis history. To use a coding analogy (not that I'm qualified :) ), it doen't matter where you put the pointer astrix, but it definitely helps readability.
Jan 28	comment	Is there a link between national debt/trade deficit and starting a war? War has definitely been used to take peoples minds off of governmental problems, including debt. Take a look at Henry V's part of the 100 Year war and the Falklands war.
Jan 28	comment	Is the Innocence of Muslims movie historically accurate? @TheByzantine What you say makes sense, but Innocence of Muslims only shows one side. Yes, some of it could be true, but, it doesn't show the whole truth.
Jan 23	comment	Why has bidet use not spread to the northern countries of Europe? As kubanczyk said, the question isn't really on topic. What does washing your anus have to do with History? However, you probably could change the question to something like, "What historical reason did the bidet..." That might work.
Jan 23	comment	First time the sail ship technology took off "When did sail ships take off" As I read that, I saw in my head, two ships flying through the air.
Jan 18	comment	What is the state of the art historical analysis of claims that Carthaginians discovered America? Well, I'm torn on this one. However, it is a nice question...
Jan 18	comment	What is the state of the art historical analysis of claims that Carthaginians discovered America? Skeptics anyone?
Jan 13	comment	Was the Sanhedrin unusually “bloodthirsty” during Jesus Era? Sorry, I don't quite understand what you are asking. Is it the understanding of Jesus, or the understanding of the Jewish abhorrence of the death penalty, or is it something else?
