Both informative and interesting!

During the middle ages, how different was the culture in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark?

Did they have similar governments, laws, and technology?

Wouldn't a collection of thick and wide mobile shields or walls that would serve as moving cover for a squad be useful to help troops advance until they were in an effective range to lob grenades at machine gunners or engage/charge their enemies? Like, huge thick plates of steel with wheels pushed forward until troops could more easily assault enemy trenches.

I kind of wanna know what would have made this concept fail or why the idea never took off.

Tell me if I'm mistaken

The original inhabitants of India where the dark-skinned Dravidians

Their civilization is known as the Indus Valley civilization

Then the white-skinned Persians arrived and settled in the north of India

Then they mixed their own religion with the beliefs of the native Dravidians and thus Hinduism and the Vedas texts were born

Did I understand correctly

Any native socities in North or South America that went out exploring, making contact, or discovering Europe or Asia or Africa or any other societies?

JFK has tons of conspiracies, but what about FF? Were there any theories at the time that went against the official story or who might be behind it? Maybe even to jump start a war with Serbia? And are there any "alternative" theories about the event nowadays?

I'm wondering which companies dominated trade in the West Indies from 1500 to 1800.

It just seems like that region use to be very prominent with the Silk Road and the Mongolian Empire, but now I barely hear about it. Why is this?

Charles has always stood out to me as a very good general, look no further then the battle of narva for this, but he always seems to get overlooked in the conversation of great generals. I'm talking from a strictly military point of view as he was obviously politically inept and had his fair share of problems(giving Russia the chance to recoup after the battle of narva), but speaking on a battle by battle basis could he be considered up there with a man who barely but did beat napoleon in open battle? I chose Wellington because in my opinion you napoleon was a better general than both Charles and Wellington.

I'm looking for something that doesn't take Julias Cesar's account at face value, but juxtaposes it against arachaeological evidence and the medieval period Irish mythology manuscripts. And whatever other sources might be out there for how the druids functioned as a political unit.

Preferably I'd like something that was published in the last 5 or so years.

Sorry if just asking for sources without a specific inquiry is against the rules.

Did any form of segregation exist in British South Africa? South Was there a divide or tension between the ruling British and the Afrikaners? Could Afrikaners vote or run for office? What opportunities did non white people have in that era?

In ASOIAF/Game of Thrones, the noble houses have words they say that are part of their family. Ex)Winter is Coming, We Do Not Sow, etc. My question is if these existed for real.noble families in medieval times. Thank you.

Or political records of what happened before the Europeans arrived? I understand this is a broad question. I just realized I knew that the Mayans and the Olmecs had writing, but knew nothing about what they were writing.

I live very North of Alabama, and my co-workers were discussing the Senate seat there and how most of the population is inbred.

I've never been to Alabama, but it appears to be a functioning state and hasn't completely collapsed due to everyone being physically and mentally deficient, so I'm not sure how accurate that inbreeding thing is.

Was this stereotype based in any truth, and how did it become so widespread?

Both believe in at least three worlds preceding this one, and both prophesied the arrival of a white man, and the languages are related. Were they in contact at all?
