there are countless war heroes lost to the times by the beliefs of the people who wrote history, please I would like to know more on that time period and of Native Americans who went above and beyond the call of duty

For example,did they trade?

I notice that as I go back into histories that armies are more concentrated and single battles are more decisive. What's the reason for this?

The song "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" was released in 1963, and discusses "scary ghost stories". Born in '91, I've never seen this as part of any of my near or extended families traditions, nor any of friend families

Was this actually a part of Christmas past? If so, where did it begin and why did it fall out of the mainstream?

Thank you!

Red Dead Redemption 2 is set in the American south of 1900. At one point a man and a lady pay to see a silent movie. The theater seats maybe 100 and they are only joined by 2 or 3 other patrons.

As the movie plays, they make idle conversation to one another like ‘can you believe that’ and other simple comments. They are shushed multiple times, but the only other noise is a simple soundtrack accompanying the scene (being played live?) They aren’t being loud or vulgar.

Was this kind of shushing commonplace in silent movies?

It seems to me like the rainy winter season in the UK would favour an indoor sport like Basketball, and as such it would have a fairly popular league when the football/soccer season isn't going on. Is there a reason why Spain, Turkey, and Balkan nations have adopted Basketball much more than the UK?

Thanks!!!

I’m curious about why some English language churches recite the Lord’s Prayer using the phrase “forgive us our trespasses” while others say “forgive us our debts.” My father, who has been reading the fifth and sixth volumes of David Hume’s History of England, is very interested in whether it has any connection to religious conflict during the English Civil War, and I’d really appreciate it if my favorite subreddit could provide any insight one way or the other. Thank you for taking the time to read my question!

If there isn't a consensus, is there a textbook or set of books that could shed the most light possible on the subject matter that Gums Germs and Steel attempts to cover?

Hi everyone. I couldn’t find an answer on the internet to this, but does anyone know what determined which branch of the military you were drafted into during WWII?

Take for example I am a baron in late 15th century Hungary. I am in control of a modest-sized county. By this point how many florins do I bring in per year in income? Or (even by this date) are most taxes still paid in lifestock, crops, etc? Did the crown bring in most of its revenues through taxes or mining? Thanks for any responses: hard to find information on this!

Are there any writings from the time about the image of the ideal male figure?

I heard an interesting story about Greek island of Lemnos where people still considered themselves as Roman citizens in 1912.

When the island was occupied by the Greek navy, Greek soldiers were sent to the villages and stationed themselves in the public squares. Some of the children ran to see what these Greek soldiers, these Hellenes looked like. ‘‘What are you looking at?’’ one of them asked. ‘‘At Hellenes,’’ we replied. ‘‘Are you not Hellenes yourselves?’’ he retorted. ‘‘No, we are Romans."

It seems very unlikely that after fall of Byzantine Empire people the island did not have any influence from outside world for more than 400 years. Is there any proof that this story is true ?

For my class, we are making a medieval village and I need reliable info for my tavern. The websites that pull up on google have info on the tavern itself but I need info like: Why was the tavern important? What tools, jobs, skills, or training would be important to the tavernkeeper. If you have any links or just straight info I would appreciate.

And why?
