In like the 1800s or whatever a bunch of euros became enamored with the backwards mysterious ways of the middle east so they made a bunch of art about it.

I think most orientalist art was made by the French and British

I know that Orientalism also includes portrayals of the far east, but I don't enjoy it as much, but what I do enjoy is the nude figures in a lot of Orientalist art

David Roberts is my personal favorite Orientalist artist

I used to own a coffee table book of his, I wonder where it went

Just great his stuff

I don't care if this counts as /h/istory or not, it is interesting and from the past. Orientalism also includes depictions of antiquity, like what is shown below

It also influenced architecture in some of the drearier countries like the UK and Sweden

Interesting art movement

Do better

Just like that, I made history.

Believing Weimar Germany was a horrible place is like believing the Treaty of Versailles was overly harsh for Germany.

It's Nazi propaganda.

It's pretty interesting. Basically:

In 2021, construction crews in Exeter dug up an undetonated 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) German bomb from the Second World War. The bomb couldn't be defused, and so had to be detonated on-site.

Despite extensive efforts to limit the damage, many buildings were badly damaged in the city. Insurance companies didn't pay out due to typical policy exclusions for warfare. The British government refused to pay as well, so the property owners got screwed and had to fund their own repairs.
