EDIT: My mistake, the movie was released in 2006, not 2009

I wonder if therein might lie good ideas worth considering today.

How did the Canadian's do on d day,how was the fight. Did they reach there objectives. Did the American's respect the Canadian soldiers? What was the average soldiers opinion of the Canadian soldier's?

You often see them with a brigandine, why not wear a breastplate ?

I guess this would be like any government mass producing "fake news" and sending it out to their rivals, but in this case it would take their rivals a while to figure out they've been duped.

What type of fabrics were used in 1940s apparel? Was it mainly wool, or some-other type of fabric? Did the war put any restrictions on fabric or sources of fabric?

If the Spanish came to the Americas earlier than the brittish and they interacted for a longer period of time with the amerindians (having way more time to infect the native population with old world diseases), why are more amerindians in Mexico, Central and South America than North America if supposedly "90% of amerindians died from diseases such as smallpox" during the colonization?

Shouldn't there be an similar amount/percentage of amerindians in North, Central and South America, since they all died at the same rate?

I was wondering if this assessment is actually true, or a misconception based on the circumstance that little seems to be known about German and Axis intelligence successes in general compared to the Allied side?

​

I saw a picture the other day of some soldiers in a boat waiting to land at the Normandy beaches, and it got me thinking how scary it must be knowing that you are going to violently die in a couple hours. So did any of these soldiers actually survive?

I have recently found some information that stated the holocaust actually helped fund the Nazi war machine. I was wondering if this was true and if the Nazi's were not just wasting resources on the final solution?

For all their songs about the Whale Road and the conquests of kingdoms around the north Atlantic, I don't think I've read about them going "ship to ship" with a real naval force. Did nations have proper navies in the 9th century like the Romans or Greeks centuries before?

I've gotten completely different answers by seperate professors at my college at both extremes of the spectrum. I hear arguments that she was because the omnipresence of servants waiting/spying on her. I hear that she most definitely was not and that she was just playing politics. What do you think about the matter? What out of 10 do you think she remained a virgin all her life. 0 for no way, 10 for assuredly a virgin at death.

I am currently learning about the civil war for 1) my own entertainment and 2) a Civil War project for school. I have already read Sam Watkins' "Company Aych" and am currently reading Elisha Hunt Rhodes' "All for the Union" and have Gen. Grant's bought as well. What other personal accounts can you recommend. I am open to all suggestions. Thank you for your help!

Victor Davis Hanson's most important contribution to scholarship is probably Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece. Published in 1983, it argued that due to the labor required to permanently destroy olive trees and vines, and the limited time window when wheat crops could be easily burned, Greek armies struggled to inflict serious economic harm when devastating enemy territory.

Has this argument been seriously challenged since it emerged 36 years ago? Have other scholars sought to demonstrate the possibility of long term damage through ravaging, and if so, who does the balance of evidence favor?

I've been reading about the Ottomans and the various people living in the empire. Armenians, Greeks, Arabs, Turks, Serbs, etc. I would imagine that officials and businesspeople in each of these groups spoke both their own language and whatever the required "official" language was - presumably some form of Ottoman Turkish. But what did Jews speak?

From my understanding, modern Hebrew was largely revived in the early and mid-20th century. I know that Ladino was quite popular in Bosnia, but otherwise, did Jews have any sort of localized Hebrew dialect?

I like reading historical fiction (Ken Follett sort of stuff) the there constantly drinking ale and wine. I guess this is because its safer than water?

As a fan of beer and ale I was wondering if it would be similar to modern day stuff or completely unrecognisable?

(edit: spacificaly Intrested in medevil England and Europe)

What were the major culture influencers of the time that led to it being romanticized? What factors impacted the disease becoming known as consumption?
