I'm trying to do some research for my boyfriend's father who was in the US Air Force in the 1960's and was stationed in what he has referred to as 'French Speaking Congo'. Since this is a surprise for him, I can't ask him details, but after doing historical research, I'm lost as to which former colony he is referring to. French Equatorial Africa? Democratic Republic of Congo? I just need to know what country it was in the 1960's so that I can download accurate data and graphics. (flags, maps, etc.) Can any history buffs out there help me out?
(ASAP for Father's Day? :) )

thanks!

A lot of people say that the area of present-day Israel was nearly deserted before the Zionist movement of the early 20th century. According to Wikipedia (not always the most accurate source, but I digress) the population in that area in 1890 was 520,000. Of those 520,000, there were approximately 20-25,000 Jews, or roughly 4.8% of the population.

To put this in perspective, Israel is approximately the size of New Jersey. The population density in 1890 would have been roughly equal to that of present-day Mississippi (would you say Mississippi is deserted?). The Jewish population (as a percentage) in Israel at that time was approximately the same as the Asian-American population in the US today. By 1917, the Jewish population made up 11%.

Are these statistics accurate? If so, from a secular perspective, wouldn't it have been smarter to make a Jewish homeland somewhere else (where there wasn't a history of conflict)?

These are the words of a Rev. in England:

"Historians work on the principle that the nearer the document you have is to the events to which it refers and the more copies of that document you have the more trustworthy it is. The works of Herodotus were written 488-428 BC. The earliest copy in existence dates from AD 900. There are 8 copies. The time lapse is 1,300 years." These late copies of the works of Herodotus' works are still trusted even with a HUGE time lapse. I am only using this as an example, for there are other documents that have big time lapses as this and yet historians still trust these copies to be reliable. How do historians conclude that documents like these are reliable even when there are major time lapses?

I'm looking for some medicine/herbal practices/home remedies that would have been used pre 1950. What I'm actually looking for is a BAD medicine, heh. Something that people used but it was found out later to have actually been harmful. Really harmful. No, I'm not going to poison anyone. This is for a history project of sorts and I'm having trouble finding anything.
