My idea revolves around two women falling in love with each other. One is a English born woman who comes to the U.S. But she is very liberal because she has traveled the world. She has also had sexual encounters with both men and women of various races. She is also anti slavery. The U.S born woman lives in the south. She lives on her father's plantation . When this lesbian woman meets her she convince her slavery is wrong and eventually sets her father's slaves free. And throughout they fall in love with each other. How do I make it realistic?

I was wondering,are there any historians here who are familiar with this field?

¿And why did no other romance language develop it? ¿Did Romans have question marks? ¿Ancient Greeks?

Specifically, I mean what was the change in doctrine that led to it being omitted, while Vehicles like the Ferdinand(even despite it not being a tank) in WW2 being redesigned to have a machine gun, when it originally didn't?

Thanks in advance

I need help with this!

Chili peppers figure strongly in many cuisines that originate from the "Old World," such as Thai, Szechuan, Ethiopian, and Indian. Is there any history of what was used to add piquancy to recipes before the importation of hot peppers, or recipes that predate the Columbian exchange?

I am having the hardest time finding resources on this topic. I was wondering if the indigenous tribe people were somehow drafted into the Red Army, specifically the tribes that were in the far eastern part of Asiatic Russia. If so, how were the Soviets able to maintain such control over such vastly different cultures? And how did the tribesmen do in combat?

I saw a documentary that claimed, among many things, that he would often "sit alone at night in the Whitehouse, writing long lists on how to connect with people". It also claimed that he would script what he was going to say in a conversation, learn and rehearse it hours ahead of meeting the person he was due to talk to. Is this exaggerated or was he really so introverted?

Was it simply because he was more suited to it, maths being his particular talent? Or I also read somewhere that he thought being in the infantry below him? And why would he feel it was below him? The times?

I'm trying to do a research on how American Occupation affected Germany, but I couldn't find much else than Marshall Plan. If anybody could give me a thorough summary, that would be ideal, but even anything to point me in the right direction to search for the topic would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I vaguely remember an anecdote from my British History class, that before her arrival in England Katherine of Aragon and Arthur, Prince of Wales wrote to each other in Latin, only discovering after their first meeting that since they'd learnt different pronunciations they couldn't understand each other.

Hence my figuring written forms remain much more static and resistant to change than speech.

I understand that most of the works are in German. Are there any good ones in English that I can check out?

I understand that a large part of Napoleonic era warfare was based on the exchange of line infantry fire, however, I have seen/read about more than a few examples of line infantry marching toward the enemy without firing a single volley to engage with bayonets fixed. While the ability for infantry to fire upon the enemy is essential in this period, why would some companies not simply carry a spear or pike which would be far cheaper to make and maintain and would accomplish the same task of a bayonet?

My dad pointed this out years ago an am now wondering if it's really true or just a coincidence. He's a big football fan and joked about it after the Minnesota team. But I'm curious if it applies to the name who raided England, France, etc many centuries ago.
