I'm working on a bit of a fan project and I'm trying to be a bit accurate with it all in terms of the FBI in relation to the pursuit of a serial killer. What were the protocols, how'd they set up things like a base of operations? What technology was provided or available to them? Stuff like that you know?

Like wtf was going on back then

Was a man still a man if he wanted to avoid fighting? Was avoiding conscription or a press gang a black mark on someone's notion of masculinity (in the way that being a "draft dodger" sometimes was and is)?

I'm mostly interested in Britain, Ireland, and the parts of Europe that make up France and some neighboring regions today. I'm familiar with the medieval Scandinavian concept of ergi and the role of violence in gender norms but I'm curious about more southerly regions. I'm also mostly interested in the experiences and attitudes of men who weren't at the very top of the social pecking order (lower or poorer nobility, the merchant class, and commoners and the sort of thing) if that's available.

Thanks!

Did people realize the similarities between our beloved housecats and their wild cousins before the advent of the theory of evolution?

I've been trying to find information of what they stand for specifically but I'm not coming up with much. The only peice of information I've found is that they only really used that lettering in early war Europe.

I'm asking because I'm building a model and wanted all the markings to be accurate, or at least meaningful to me. My highest hopes is for it to represent a unit that would have been plausible to fight the 28th Infantry.

Any info you might have would be great. Thank you!!!

I'm reading Thomas Penn's biography of Henry VII, and there is a motif of Catherine's precarious position in England. I understand why Henry wanted to keep his options open for his son, but when Catherine was widowed, she became a useful political pawn again. And Penn says that near the end of H7's reign, neither he nor Ferdinand were to enthusiastic about a marriage alliance. Why not make it publicly known that Catherine was available for marriage?

Ancient Rome and Greece would be particularly useful, especially anything prior to 100BC. I'm would love to know whether there was any talk about the idea of abolishing the institution altogether, or of a Roman citizen would have ever been confronted with the notion.

This has been confusing me quite a Bit as Wales has been under British Rule the longest out of the Celts (except Britanny which is obviously under French Controll) but unlike Scotland or Ireland the Celtic Language is still pretty prominent in Wales and i want to ask why, why does Wales still speak a lot of Celtic unlike other Celtic Nations?

(Also ik that Celtic isnt really a Language but im using the word to just describe Celtic Languages in general)

In ancient rome tribal assembly (comitia tributa) was divided into 35 tribes organized by georgraphic division. How large where these georgaphical areas in late roman republic? In understand that there where 4 urban and the rest where rural tribes but did tribes encompass all of italy geographically or only rome and its immenent surroundings? For example, which tribe belong some guy with roman citizenship from tarent in southern italy? What about people that gained citizenship in athens or alexandria for example? Additional question: how did roman colonies where organized polliticaly? Did they mirrored rome organisation with their own pretors, cenzors etc or they where organized different?

Like if someone were to write down the kind of things that would likely slip through the cracks and be lost to time, what would they write down?

When i read about Egypt in the boon Egyptian it seemed like that chariots were an important piece of warfare, and I've heard my history teachers say Persians of the Achaemenid empire used chariots in war. So what happened? Why were they replaced by cavarly?

I’m currently reading Bart Ehr man’s work “Misquoting Jesus“ and it’s making me think. His discussions of textual criticism make me wonder, are our copies of ancient works reliable? Can we be reasonably certain that Plato actually wrote the Republic or that Marcus Aurelius wrote what we know as the Meditations?

I've read that Chinese states were not able to centralise as well as European states because local kingdoms, clans, and authorities held greater power over the local people. However, I've also heard that this started before the Catholic Church's subsuming of clan authority within European life, and is partly due to geographic differences (with Europe and the Levant having more rugged terrain where defensible kingdoms form) whereas China is more suited for Imperial rule. From my understanding, the geography of China seems very similar to Europe, so how was there an Imperial power able to continuously establish control over China but not Europe? Why didn't nation states form after the disintegration of Chinese dynasties, especially those of different ethnic groups (Baiyue, etc).
