As the source for this, he cited "The Black Book of the French Revolution" written by Renaud Escande. Is there any truth to this, or is it just an easy to debunk conspiracy theory?

A contraption on wheels, somewhat like an ox cart, but with sloped metal plates for armour, and a single small cannon loaded with cannister shot, and pushed by one or two men inside it, protected by the armour plates.

They wouldn’t be very fast, but if their armour were sloped, they could be able to withstand musket-fire. Exactly like modern tanks, they would be massed into one sector of the battlefield.

They would also be followed up by a cavalry charge.

Would the metal have been too heavy, to brittle to withstand musket-fire, too expensive? Would it have been too vulnerable to artillery?

Would they have been too heavy and slow? That's what I've been told elsewhere. Is there a way to accurately estimate how heavy it would be?

Like maybe 5 or 6 suits of plate armour + the ox cart itself + the small cannon/couple of large blunderbusses. That does sound pretty hefty, but it wouldn't have to be particularly quick, especially considering line infantry fought at ridiculously close range, as little as 20ish meters sometimes.

I'm aware of Josephus, but his writings are decades after when Jesus allegedly lived. Is there anything written actually while he was alive about him?

It was only when Speer was given a ministerial position that the German economy got completely geared toward Total War. Why did this take so long?

I asked this a while back but got no response. Time for try number 2! I'm interested in the daily lives of the general populace, and what the general social or legal atmosphere of the colonial society was like.

Was this decision based solely on eliminating the preceding Eurocentric immigration policy that was highly racist, or was it because immigration from Europe was declining (especially since Eastern Europe was under the Soviets, who didn't allow emigration) and the Canadian government needed other sources of migrants?

I´m curious if we have any accounts of European traders in North America explaining to the natives where they came from, where all the different countries in the Old World were located, and showing them their maps of the world, and how the Native Americans reacted to this.

I´ve read a lot of references about how the discovery of the New World impacted European culture, theology, and philosophy....but am curious how it might have changed the native tribes image of themselves and their place in the world.

I have some understanding of the effect contact with the Spanish affected the peoples of Mexico and Central America, so I am more thinking about the contacts made on the eastern seaboard of Canada and the United States.

I've been reading and generally learning about WWI lately, and I've seen many accounts of soldiers committing suicide in the trenches as a result of the trauma witnessed and in the face of misery and the overwhelming odds of death.

I've also heard the accounts of the more recent veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan committing suicide, however these seem to occur once they have returned home. I've read Sebastian Junger's books "War" and "Tribe", where he poses that the modern issue of veteran suicide is in part because of today's fractured society rather than the result of actual trauma experienced.

I guess my question has two parts, and they are as follows:

1. Was suicide in (Western) soldiers seen in history as a result of hardship/trauma directly experienced on the battlefield?

2. Was suicide in (Western) soldiers seen in history once they returned home from battle/campaigns?

I know that much has been written on this topic, but it is hard for me to gather what the consensus is right now. I know that cases have been made for the resurrection being an historical event, it being a deliberately crafted fiction to support an upcoming faith and psychological/sociological explanations. I am interested in what the sources and our current knowledge says about whether the disciples believed that Jesus came back to live or not.

Thank you for your time!

I have checked the wiki here and there is nothing about the Early Medieval Slavic mythology, politics, or history at all. I am primarily interested in Great Moravia, Samo's Empire, or anything between the years 500-900 CE on the Slavs, however, I am not interested in the Russians.

That is the main question. I'd like to understand a lot of historical context and the history of historians too, I guess, which may also provide context.

I have been constantly looking and reading articles especially Wikipedia on the history of Maryland specifically Westminster and Taneytown on when people settled, land distribution and stuff like that but I was wondering if there were more specific articles mentioning where the more populated and active areas back then were?

Seutonius writes that Augustus delayed at Brundisium for twenty seven days - just long enough to satisfy the demands of the soldiers - before moving to Anatolia, Syria, then Egypt, to take Alexandria.

What is the reason for this delay? What demands would the soldiers have had? I'm constructing an essay on the machinations and manipulation of Augustus during the Principate - the manipulation of the senate, people and armies. I think this may fit in to the latter, if the reason is for what I think it is (allow the soldiers to enjoy themselves before going to war.)

Are there any major ways that Augustus used manipulation to control the three above factions in order to establish his Empire?
