I'm trying to study victorian era clothing. I can find tons of information on women's clothing and even visual guides to the different styles and designs. However, I cannot find any reliable about Victorian Men's Clothing. Most of my information says that it didn't change much, but I can't find visual guides or anything very detailed or reliable.

Does anyone have a reliable source that I can use?

Have a hard time finding any of this. Does any information exist on this topic?

Was the law just not enforced? If so, did Cromwell's revocation make any difference?

In the 1984 NBA draft, the Houston Rockets chose future Hall of Famer Akeem Olajuwon first overall. Portland used the second pick on Sam Bowie, whose career was marred by injuries, over a player who would completely redefine the sport of basketball. (Just to rub it in further, Charles Barkley and John Stockton were also available.)

It's easy to look back and say that was a terrible decision. But what did people think at the time? Was there a serious argument about whether Bowie or Jordan would be the better player (as with the Peyton Manning vs. Ryan Leaf debate years later) or was there a consensus from the start that Portland picked the wrong guy?

I’ve recently been listening to some podcasts about the Roman republic and its mentioned that there was no form of police force in Rome at the time. What was deterring people during that era from committing crimes like murder and theft?

Morality?
Politics?

War fatigue?

What were their motives?

From what I have read it seems like while the brothers were alive they did cause a lot of changes in the political system of Rome but once they were both killed by the Senate it seems like in large part their reforms were overturned or ignored. So what was their actual long term effect to the Roman system if they had one?

As a Pole brought up in Poland I've been fed many favourable views. I know at the time of our prime we've assimilated neighbours etc. I just want to know how the outside history portrays my country.

The popular conventional wisdom seems to be that the defender had a decisive advantage in the First World War, because of machine guns, entrenchment and whatnot. But, looking the casualty statistics of the large battles, the numbers are quite similar for both sides (For example in 1st Marne, Somme, Passchendaele and Kaiserschlacht the casualty figures in Wikipedia show that the attackers took at most around 1.5 times the defenders casulties). That would seem to show that the defender's advantage was not that big. What made their casualties so high? Am I overlooking something critical here?

Were there any Englishmen, Scotsmen or Welshmen sympathetic to the Irish Republican cause who served in the IRA during the Easter Rising, War of Independence or the Troubles?

I wonder where the myth of the unicorns come from?And dragons? The earliest depiction i have found was from 8th century. Any traces from unicorns before that? And about dragons: could they have been dinosaurs?

In 1914 John Redmond manages to usurp control of the National Volunteers and famously commits them to the British Army upon the outbreak of war. As the Volunteers are a volunteer paramilitary, of course each man would have to volunteer to join the army himself, and I would imagine that to join the BA would be a quite larger commitment than membership of the Volunteers, political sensitivities aside. Therefore my question is how many of them answered Redmonds call in 1914. And how did they compare with the Ulster Volunteers turnout?

Thanks in Advance!

Hey I'm writing an essay for my Modern History class. I'm in year 12 so it's pretty important (year 12 is the final year of high school in Australia). We have to compare the use of a theme (I chose terror) between Stalin's Russia and Nazi Germany but we have to create our own question. My 'question' is "Evaluate the significance of terror under the Stalinist regime and Nazi Germany." I've structured my essay with two body paragraphs for each nation, one articulating how the use of terror had a positive impact and the other negative. I've completed the two on Russia and am now starting Germany. But other than the fact that they murdered millions of people (holocaust etc), I can't find a source that goes any deeper. What was the actual impact of that. For example Hitler's terror was effective in consolidating power which (depending on how you loo at it) was a positive impact of terror. Keep in my mind I cannot go past 1939 as we are only studying pre WWII.

Thanks heaps if you can help me out.
