Did these people already identify as German, or did they have to adopt a new national identity for a new "Homeland"? Did they more closely identify with the member state that they came from?

I've grown up with this idea that the fall of Rome was the end of the world, but is that really true? Was it total anarchy for however long, or is our understanding of that period warped?

Occasionally I see people disputing the 6 million Jewish deaths figure and using these supposed Red Cross documents as support for their claims. While I have little interest in arguing with most of these people, I am interested to see what the reports have to say and so far have only been able to find figures pulled from them and used in (generally) pro-Hitler articles.

So I have come across various articles online making claims regarding the total death toll of the British empire summing up to near 150 million or so. Some instances include the famines of India and various military repressions worldwide. So my question is

1. Where is this number coming from and what is the break down of each said atrocity of the empire

2. How can we actually rely on different accounts to verify and validate the numbers from the historical record

Thank you in advance

I recently got into an argument on this subject. I tried researching this on google but most of the results seem to be very biased ones.

Why was United States Navy Admiral William Halsey promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral instead of Admiral Royal Ingersoll? Halsey was the Commander of the US 3rd Fleet which was part of the Pacific Fleet, while Ingersoll was Commander in Chief of the Atlantic Fleet, essentially the Chester Nimitz of the Atlantic.

I just finished an account of Benedict Arnold's early time in the American war for independence (Benedict Arnold's Navy by Stephen L. Nelson). This was before his betrayal. During his trek north through Maine to take Montreal, the hunger and depredation experienced by his troops has been described.

Wouldn't there have been abundant game in Maine in 1775? Why didn't they just hunt for meat? What am I missing?

Thank you

In particular, I'm interested in the forces behind his remarkable conquests, his rather harsh enforcement of Shi'a Islam, and the role of both his depiction as the first "native" Iranian ruler in a long time, and his apparent messianic pretentions in all of this.

Thanks!

Today the sauce seems totally commonplace all over the world and is so versatile in its use for cooking it seems like the perfect ingredient for spice trading. Its easy to make and doesnt go bad yet it doesnt seem like it ever really left Asia until recently (I'm assuming).

• Did it ever get traded globally before the 20th century?

Looking into how its made it seems like everything would be readily available throughout Europe except for soybeans (I'm assuming) and even those could be brought and grown.

• Wheat, soybeans, and salt and boom you have soy sauce. Were any of these things cultivated outside of Asia for this purpose? Were soy beans cultivated at all?

• Finally if all of this is even remotely possible to have occurred, would the western world have had a taste for it?

Hello everyone not sure if I'm asking the right subreddit but I am currently a student at Cal State San Bernardino who is majoring in History. I am really interested lately in the history of christianity and have been thinking about pursuing it in grad school. Would getting my masters in early christian studies be a good place to learn that?

I've been looking for related reading on this for a while now and I haven't the foggiest idea where to start. I'm looking to gather some background material for some writing.
