Germany capitulated on WW2 on 8 May 1945. Hiroshima was nuked on 6 August 1945, 90 days later.

Was the public reaction one of relieve, since germany could also have been nuked by that weapon if the war lasted any longer for the third Reich? Where any public statements made by german politicians or articles written on the topic of the Hiroshima bomb in german media at the time? How did imprisoned Nazis in Nürnberg process prison react to the message, did they even receive it? Was the reaction different in the soviet occupied areas?

When the Mongols captured China and established the Yuan dinasty. Did elements of the Mongol religion Tengrism transfer to Chinese religions like Confucianism? Did Han-Chinese convert to Tengrism?

How can this be understood from a European perspective: Did comparable Nomadic conquest of an agrarian empire happen in Europe without any religious conversion?

I had to take three courses of history and it seems like we never talked about the rest of the world at the time. Was Vietnam and Civil Unrest really that big in America where we thought that is what was all going on and forgot about the rest of the world?
