I'm writing a paper about medicine in the First World War, and was wondering if there is any good literature on how the survival rate of wounded soldiers changed from 1914 to 1918 due to improvements in medical technologies and practices. Sources would be helpful as well. Thanks!

Is it an American thing? An old thing? A reaction to the enlightenment?

Preferably written in a way that wont be offputting to some who is a biblical literalist. (My friend)

I was looking at some old time baseball stadium pictures and everyone was wearing super formal attire. It seems that men and women dressed formal all day every day even in the hot summer months. So I'm wondering how was the hygiene back then? Did they wear the same suit daily for a few days? Did most people have many suits so they could wear something clean 7 days a week? I'm sure most people were poor and could not afford many nice clothes. Can someone tell me how they kept clean while being poor but still dressing formal? Or were they sweaty smelly nice looking people?

Today, the most commonly used pitch standard is 440hz. I've read a bit about different tunings (432hz, 451hz, 256hz...), and some sources tend to claim that the Egyptians, ancient Greeks and even Mozart tuned their instruments to 432hz. Seeing that a lot of pitches have been used throughout history, I need to ask. Do we have scientific proof that 432hz was used as the standard tuning in the ancient world?

I know the religion was polytheistic, however Mohammad ushered in a monotheistic Abrahamic faith. Where did such beliefs come from? And how out of place is Abrahamic faith for the region?

How were prisoners treated in world war 2. Did axis troops treat prisoners worse and the allies or what?

Numerous accounts from Spanish, Portuguese and English explorers from the 1500s to 1700s report seeing large tall warrior women who ruled their society and would fight furiously. Wearing gold crowns, white makeup, long long hair, weilding bows. Taking men from rival vilages and using them to get pregnant, killing any sons or getting rid of them and only keeping daughters. Given the numerous reports, how likely is it that this is true?

I dont have any sources right now. I had been reading the book "River of darkness" by Buddy Levy that goes over the evidence in portions of the book.

So how likely is it that "Amazons" ever existed?

Or is it just soil moved around? And how deep is the soil? I can see from pics it is deep enough to grow grass. Were crops on it?

Edit: side note: there was a comment here, but it disappeared. Was it anecdotal? It might have been, from the line it showed in my notifs. I would not mind even anecdotal answers. Make of that what you will.

Was there anyone against this innovation?

I am pretty amazed and curious at the same time how Cyprus, isolated from Greece mainland and much closer to the Islamic nations and was even controlled for a very long time by an Islamic state(s), was able to retain its Orthodoxy. How or what happened that enabled the Cyprus people to remain orthodox and retain there Greek identity?.

Is strength training a modern phenomenon, or have people who wanted to become strong always picked up and put down heavy things over and over?

How did Mussolini's party and the organized demonstration known as the March on Rome help Mussolini come to power in Italy after WW1?

Hey, is there any good books dealing with the period just after the fall of the soviet union in the former Soviet States within Europe. Was interested in reading an account(s) of the rapid change of the economy, its effects, mistakes and sociological outcomes. Had a search but not too sure if enough time has past to give a well-balanced account. Ideally the period 1990 - 2000

I have an assignment which requires 2 textual sources on your site, mine being Parthenon. I have scoured all of the top google results and haven't found anything. These sources can be diary entries, personal accounts, poems, observations or any of that sort. Am I missing out on any sort of databases which may help me? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
