During Stalin's regime, a campaign of political repression was implemented. It involved an enormous persecution and purge of writers, scholars, scientists, landlords, government officials, counter-revolutionaries and anyone who opposed Stalin's rule or the Communist Party. This persecution was meant to remove dissenters and consolidate the authority of Stalin. It was also a way to eliminate all ideologies incompatible with Communism from public discourse.

How many amendments to the United States constitution have been repealed by other amendments?
o-na [289]
The only amendment that has been repealed is prohibition.

It was repealed because it was hugely unpopular, totally ineffective and a large factor in increasing the power of the Mafia in the USA.

It was passed in the first place because of misguided nonsense paraded by well-meaning moralistic busybodies.

<span>Sort of like the war on the (rest of) drugs .... except many of those are still illegal and they were not part of a constitutional amendment.</span>

What motivated Christian soldiers to fight the crusaders
gregori [183]

The “enemies” of the Church in Europe included people who were not Christians. It also included Christians who were labeled heretics, that is, people who challenged the official teachings of the Church or who questioned the pope’s power and authority.

Millions of people, Christian and non-Christian, soldiers and noncombatants lost their lives during the Crusades. In addition to the enormous loss of life, the debt incurred and other economic costs associated with the multiple excursions to the Middle East impacted all levels of society, from individual families and villages, to budding nation-states. The wars also resulted in the destruction of cities and towns that lay in the crusaders’ wake. In his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon refers to the Crusades as an event in which “the lives and labours of millions, which were buried in the East, would have been more profitably employed in the improvement of their native country.”
