Should the US have assisted France during the French Revolution? Why?

  Only fair, right? After all, the French helped the US gain independence from those bloody Brits. But, it's not that simple. See, the French Revolution wasn't exactly a walk in the park. It was a bloodbath, a mess of shifting alliances, radical ideologies, and heads rolling quite literally. The Reign of Terror wasn't just a catchy name; it was a period of state-sanctioned paranoia and violence. You have the US, a fledgling nation still finding its feet, they could ill afford to get entangled in such a volatile situation. Remember, this was a time when the US was still establishing its own government and dealing with domestic issues like westward expansion and Native American relations. Secondly, the French Revolution was a complex beast with conflicting factions vying for power. The Girondins, Jacobins, Montagnards – it was a dizzying array of political groups with differing visions for France's future. The US, with its own delicate balance of federalists and anti-fede

“Helen Mirren Recalls ‘Caligula’ Set As A Nudist Camp”

  Gaius Caesar Agustus Germanicus, famously known as Caligula, was a controversial figure in history. He initially implemented aristocracy, granted amnesty, and reduced taxes but later displayed signs of madness, demanding worship as a god, marrying his sister, and engaging in extravagant and bizarre activities. His reign included lavish mock sea battles, construction of oversized ships, and the establishment of a brothel when funds depleted. Known for torturing individuals and even appointing a horse to the senate, Caligula met his demise through assassination at the young age of 29, succeeded by Claudius. The story of Caligula is vividly portrayed in the renowned 1976 British miniseries “I, Claudius.” The 1979 film “Caligula,” directed by Bob Guccione and Giancarlo Lui but heavily influenced by Tinto Brass, offered a more explicit depiction of Caligula’s life. The original script by Gore Vidal underwent significant alterations, much to Vidal’s displeasure, resulting in a production f

Sexual attitudes and behaviors in ancient Rome

  Sexual attitudes and behaviors in ancient Rome  are indicated by art, literature, and inscriptions, and to a lesser extent by archaeological remains such as erotic artifacts and architecture. It has sometimes been assumed that "unlimited sexual license" was characteristic of ancient Rome, but sexuality was not excluded as a concern of the  mos maiorum , the traditional social norms that affected public, private, and military life.  Pudor , "shame, modesty", was a regulating factor in behavior, as were legal strictures on certain sexual transgressions in both the Republican and Imperial periods. The censors—public officials who determined the social rank of individuals—had the power to remove citizens from the senatorial or equestrian order for sexual misconduct, and on occasion did so. The mid-20th-century sexuality theorist Michel Foucault regarded sex throughout the Greco-Roman world as governed by restraint and the art of managing sexual pleasure.

The Viking Age (793–1066 CE) was the period during the Middle Ages when Norsemen known as Vikings undertook

The Viking Age (793–1066 CE) was the period during the Middle Ages when Norsemen known as Vikings undertook large-scale raiding, colonising, conquest, and trading throughout Europe and reached North America.  It followed the Migration Period and the Germanic Iron Age. The Viking Age applies not only to their homeland of Scandinavia but also to any place significantly settled by Scandinavians during the period. The Scandinavians of the Viking Age are often referred to as Vikings as well as Norsemen, although few of them were Vikings in the sense of being engaged in piracy.  Voyaging by sea from their homelands in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, the Norse people settled in the British Isles, Ireland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, Normandy, and the Baltic coast and along the Dnieper and Volga trade routes in eastern Europe, where they were also known as Varangians.  They also briefly settled in Newfoundland, becoming the first Europeans to reach North America.

How often did the Romans have sex?

  Tuesday, May 28, 2024 Romans were pretty open about sex. Their society wasn't as prudish as later Western societies became. They had a relaxed attitude toward sex, seeing it as a natural part of life. For instance, it was common for Roman homes to have erotic art, and even the city of Pompeii, frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, reveals walls adorned with some pretty explicit murals. But how often? Well, it varied. Elite Romans, who had more leisure time, probably engaged in sexual activities more frequently. They often had banquets and gatherings that sometimes turned into wild parties known as  convivia . These weren't just your average get-togethers; they could involve a lot of drinking, feasting, and yes, sometimes sexual escapades. Interestingly, there's a lesser-known story about a Roman named Gaius Petronius, who was a member of Emperor Nero's court. Petronius wrote the  Satyricon , a satirical novel that gives us a peek into the indulgent lifesty

"Unveiling the 'Shocking' Truth about Romantic World of Genghis Khan

 "Unveiling the 'Shocking' Truth about Romantic World of Genghis Khan The military conquests of Genghis Khan are well known. His Mongol cavalry swept across the open steppe taking vast swathes of territory. His armies plowed through China, conquering the central plains and Tibet. From humble beginnings in Mongolia, he created an empire that stretched from the Chinese coast in the east all the way to the Caspian Sea. Fifty years after his death, the Mongol Empire would reach its extent and is recognized today as the largest contiguous empire in history. His conquests, however, were not confined to the battlefields watched over by the open sky. Those conquests are history. The Mongol empire is no more. It collapsed and disappeared many hundreds of years ago. His greatest conquests were, in fact, in the bedroom, so to speak. With a huge harem of women, Genghis Khan left a genetic legacy that would outlive all of his military ambition. The result of his intimate relations is a

To Day We Remembering - Indian Army Rape US

  Remembering Thangjam Manorama  and the valiant protest by the women of Manipur.🍑 Thangjam Manorama (1970–2004)  was a 32 year old woman from Manipur, who was killed by the Indian paramilitary unit, 17th Assam Rifles on 1IP1 July 2004.  Her bullet-ridden and badly mutilated dead body was found abandoned three kilometers away from her home where she was arrested the earlier night. She was shot several times. Investigations revealed that she was tortured and raped before being killed. At the time of the arrest, no incriminating items were found, as per the arrest memo. Later it was stated that a grenade and other items had been seized from her home. Assam Rifles claimed that she was shot while trying to escape. However, no blood was found near the body despite six bullet wounds. No soldier was identified as having tried to run or detain her. Given these disparities, a commission of inquiry was set up by the Manipur government in 2004, and submitted its report in Nov 2004. However, the

Margot Robbie’s Injury in ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’

  Margot Robbie rose to fame for her role as Naomi Lapaglia in The Wolf of Wall Street. However, the filming process was not without its challenges as the Australian actress faced an injury during a particular s** scene. In the movie directed by Martin Scorsese, Robbie’s character engages in a passionate encounter with Jordan, portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, on a bed adorned with cash. It was during this scene that Robbie sustained a back injury. Speaking about the experience, Robbie shared that filming intimate scenes is far from glamorous as perceived by many. “It’s not like what you see in the movies,” Robbie explained to Porter magazine as reported by MARCA on Tuesday, February 23. “In reality, we are squeezed into a small room with around 30 crew members, all of whom were men.” “For 17 hours, I had to simulate intimate actions. It’s an odd situation where you must push aside any embarrassment or awkwardness, and fully immerse yourself in the moment.” During another interview, Robb
