Thousands of Late Medieval/Early Modern Christians & Muslims were enslaved & then ransomed by corsairs of the opposite faith. Was there any anxiety in Christendom about recently ransomed Christians (or Jews) being crypto-Muslims/"turning Turk" & to what degree was the focus of that anxiety gendered?	3	AskHistorians
How did White Southern opinions change towards Civil Rights from the early 1950s to 1964? Did they generally become more open to legal equality or more defensive of segregation?	3	AskHistorians
Pop culture sometimes preemptively declares the 21st century as "China's century". Which country (or countries) did commentators in 1880, 1900, or 1919 predict would be the economic, cultural and political powerhouse(s) of the 20th?	3	AskHistorians
When did Irish people in Ireland first start thinking of emigrants and their descendants as "Irish-Americans" or "Irish-Canadians" and not "Irish in America/Canada/Australia/etc."? Was there anxiety about emigrants "losing their culture"?	3	AskHistorians

In the late history of the Roman Republic/early Empire did they consider any of the other states they interacted with as equals or almost equals diplomatically? Or did they view everyone as a lesser in their sphere of influence, even when at war with those "lessers"?	3	AskHistorians
Why are the Eastern churches, both E & O Orthodoxies & Eastern Catholic, named & organized on national & sometimes today explicitly nationalist basis? Why are they nominally churches of peoples (and now mostly nation-states) vs. universal (lower c catholic) or anything else?	3	AskHistorians
As far as I'm aware, we have no Iranian primary sources on the Greco-Persian Wars. Is that because Persian writers didn't care to write about them, or because the Iranian corpus of that period is really slim in general?	3	AskHistorians
Who would have worked in an 18th or 19th century European arms factory? Would guns and ammunition be made mostly by men? What about women? Kids? How did the arms industry's labor characteristics change over the course of industrialization?	3	AskHistorians
