What I mean is which type of armor was preferred for each type of climate? Chain Mail, Lamellar, Plate, Leather etc.?

I was just given a big old "America" / "Dont tread on me" belt buckle, but is says "EST. 1775" on it. Why would someone say that America was established in 1775? I was always taught it was 1776 with the Declaration of Independence. Is there something is 1775 that people use to argue the founding by? Or, perhaps, are the trying to say that the flag / principle was established in 1775?

Edit: I never said something stupid. Nope, nope. Look somewhere else for that. 😜

Going into education and will be student teaching. Looking forward to my first year but curious what advice people would give themselves. Also trying to fill in content gaps and any advice with that would be great.

In other words why in the history classes in Italy usually the Napoleonic wars are viewed by the eyes of the french so Austerlitz is a great victory and Waterloo is a disaster (a "disfatta") akin to Cannae or Caporetto?

It is because Italians actually fought for the french? Or because the Risorgimento owes much to the Revolution and its ideals? Or simply it is cultural closeness?

Sorry for any akward error

Hey, I am trying to write an essay on the Barbary Crusade (1390) and can't find much in the way of sources. Does any one of any recommendations of a text(s) that have some focus on the conflict?

I believe that his tomb is most likely under a religious building in Alexandria (probably a mosque), or lost to history due to the various natural disasters that Alexandria has experienced in two millennia. I'm intrigued by the theory that his body was mistaken for St. Mark's and taken to Venice, but I don't see it being as likely.

Pretty standard. Doing some volunteer work and need to design a lecture outline covering the Russian Revolution to teach kids. Also: (just in case someone thinks I'm being lazy by posting on reddit about it, I'm drowning in essays and coursework man. Just need an apt summary to go about it.)

From a text that I had read on gender, the writer asserts that Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, or AIS for short, do manifest in some characters, and some individuals with this genetic defect managed to become famous despite, and because, of this defect. Two examples are mentioned, Joan of Arc, and Queen Elizabeth the First.

Therefore, I would like to ask, is there any basis in fact for this claim that these significant characters have AIS? Furthermore, are there any historic examples of AIS that are proven? Lastly, if these notable individuals do have AIS, how were they able to carry on their lives even though they do have physical traits that are different from the normal individual?

Did the German protest over the use of shotguns have a leg to stand on? Was there a prior agreement it may have violated or was it simply too effective?

Also, weren't shotgun shells cardboard prior to plastics? How could they survive in the muck of trench warfare?

I'm writing my A-Level course work on "To what extent was the Barbarian incursions the main reason for the fall of the Western Roman empire?" and i need to find back ground information on Edward Gibbon. Does anyone have and good links or sites that summarize a historians past.

Hawaii is really far away from anything else, there's no island chain you can easily follow to get to it, so how exactly did the Polynesians find it?

It's commonly accepted in the UK and Ireland that the President of the Irish political party Sinn Fein, Gerry Adams, was a member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (pIRA or IRA). This is a charge that Gerry Adams has denied.

I want to know what counts as, and what historical evidence there is for either position.

Most colonist began teaching/enforcing their language upon the people they colonised so what language does this bi-lingual empire teach to its colonised subjects, German(Austrian dialect) or Hungarian?
