We've got an exciting #AMA you can join in #Twitterstorians! @Tank_Archives is here to answer all your questions about his new book Achtung Tiger! And how the Allies captured, studied, and defeated the infamous Tiger tank! #WWII #MilHist reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Please. Please. #ancient students go and read this series of questions. I now have tears running down my face and my cat is wondering why I keep snort laughing.

This is apparently doing the rounds again. A little less convinced that it's in good faith this time, but anyway, sometimes a conspiracy is just a mildly amusing story from a couple of years ago.

Dogs are a mans best friend, but how far would #Twitterstorians go to defend the honour of their dogo’s? /u/Capn_MacNamaraneeds to know, and quickly! Before the time machine runs out! reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Some folks are particularly skilled at finding themselves in trouble, time and time again. Our good friend /u/vrai_LouisXIVis back, but this time his love life is on hold while he tries to handle the tricky business of parenting. reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
The problems facing /u/T_Kinhare of a pretty heavy calibre. Sometimes life throws a lot of challenges at you, and you can’t tank it alone. That’s why we have #Twitterstorians to give advice! reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Horrible manage might deserve to lose their shirt, but they still come to us for advice. /u/Blanck_and_Harrismight be facing justice soon, so maybe what they really need is some advice on being a better manager. reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Have you ever lived in an apartment and just wanted to strangle a neighbor for their horrible music playing? Maybe my fellow #Twitterstorians can channel some of that experience into some good natured advice for /u/therealharrytruman. reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
“Dear Historians, my husband is pressuring me to give up our son!” /u/Cagaagawia finds herself in a very unpleasant bind. How would you #Twitterstorians respond? reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Love is complicated as it is, and sometimes adding family just creates more drama. /u/Ptolemy8theNotFatfinds himself in a pretty tricky situation, and could use some help from #Twitterstorians. reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Family. Marriage. Two classic sources of problems for many historical people. /u/Maglocunus may have a rather… unique situation, but who among the #Twitterstorians hasn’t had similar struggles? reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Promotions come with a lot of responsibility, and its normal to be nervous about your new job! #Twitterhistorians can offer some advice to /u/AlviseFalier and his question. reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
“Dear Historians, THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR LEGAL ADVICE but what should I (29M) do about my upcoming trial for incestum?” We’ll let PubliusThePrettyspeak for himself, but #Twitterstorians can help out here before he heads over to r/HistoricalLegalAdvice. reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
The only thing tougher then fighting a war, is dealing with your boss. #Twitterstorians can help /u/MajGenGeoBMcClellan, and offer advice on “Dear Historians: How to Handle Professional Disputes where I am RIGHT and my boss is WRONG”. reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
“Dear Historians, WIBTA for insisting that commoners be cleared from the temple before my arrival?” /u/Sei_Shounagonasks, having a little trouble with the neighbors. What advice would YOU give #Twitterstorians? reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Many of our historical clients are troubled by matters of the heart. /u/vrai_LouisXIV himself cries out for assistance with his deeply personal problem; “I want to marry the babysitter pls hep me”. #Twitterstorians reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
/u/PoorManRichard has written to Dear Historians with a very simple, yet heartfelt plea. “How do I tell my good friend that he's making a bad relationship decision?” #Twitterstorians reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Exciting news #Twitterstorians! Its that special time of year again. Thanks to the magic of time travel, we’ve invited a number of historical figures to the subreddit and given them aa once in a lifetime chance to ask our userbase for help with their many, many problems & drama!

Please. Please. #ancient students go and read this series of questions. I now have tears running down my face and my cat is wondering why I keep snort laughing.
First on Dear Historians, it’s the man with a rather poor plan. LEONIDAAAS sits down to ask “I (60M) AM ABOUT TO BE SURROUNDED BY THE GREAT KING OF PERSIA (38M)! MY ALLIES ARE RETREATING! I COULD STILL SAVE MY MEN! WHAT IS HONOURABLE FOR A SPARTAN TO DO?” reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Every year I get to roll out this account for a bit of fun and then I'm hoarse for a week.

For #WorldBookDay, I would be amiss not to mention my book! Now available in a cheaper paperback version so that everyone can read about -check notes- … angry racist gamers mad because black people are in video games. It never ceases to be topical.
Just finished recording with Dan Snow @HistoryHit. Podcast out March 18
@askhistorians reached 2 million subscribers!
This is making my jaded heart break a little I love it so much. Not only is @askhistorians removing 2M comments in one thread, but they pledge that every comment will receive a unique & lovingly handcrafted removal notice Congrats & glory to the mods! reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Found another one! This time on @askhistorians so that is especially great cause they are very stringent!
@BretDevereaux We should all be active on @askhistorians Reddit?
@njr_private So you're not missing much in general, but I'll always vouch for @askhistorians , it's genuinely a really good resource, and one of the best things going for the subject in the world today
Team: Tomorrow (12/11) I'll be doing a Reddit AMA on the Coming of the American Revolution on r/askhistorians. Join me as I do my best to answer your questions, talk about the making of "Worlds," & direct you to the books of people who are much smarter than me. @askhistorians
I'm doing a Reddit AMA on /r/AskHistorians. Let's chat! #askmeanything reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Join Dr. Mitch Maki, our President, as he delves into the impactful history of Japanese-American redress on the @askhistorians podcast. Listen here: bit.ly/47k7uE4
At @ecommemoration i was made aware of @askhistorians. This is great!
During the 19th Century, what exactly led to the fascination and pre-occupation with the supernatural and especially with ghost stories? (It’s a Faboolous answer from /u/kingconani on the long tradition of #GhostStories!) #Twitterstorians reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
@brutusbelfast That's a question that @Roelkonijn has answered at some length already over at @askhistorians Check out his response (as 'Iphikrates') here: reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
Great thread on a complex question: how do we democratise history (acknowledge that it is not "owned" by professional scholars) without endangering academic history? AskHistorians shows one possible answer in action
This is a great thread, and @mattnovosad is an excellent example of the kind of historian who shares and *creates* historical knowledge outside academia. More broadly though, the thread touches on two conceptual issues that we (and the field of history) needs to navigate...
We're live, and since this is so much more fun than answering my work emails, I'm hanging out.
The #AMA with @ProfCPE has started #Twitterstorians! This is your chance to ask a Roman historian all your questions about money, coins, economics, epidemics, emperors, insurrections, crises and counter-factual history! reddit.com/r/AskHistorian…
This is going to be a fun all-day event tomorrow. @askhistorians is a great resource for learning about just about any historical topic. Serious and generous researchers. I'm expecting a robust, challenging and fun discussion--and some real stumpers.
Another #AMA comes #Twitterstorians! On Sept 22nd @ProfCPE, historian, author of POX ROMANA: The Plague that Shook the Roman World & host of The Pax Romana Podcast, will be joining us to answer questions on economics, epidemics, emperors, insurrections & counter-factual history!
If your question is about history, come ask over at @askhistorians!
You're still better off asking a librarian over a search engine.
