Additionally, how common was the use of armor in this region? What would it have looked like?

The Late Republic seems to have violence as a prominent part of its politics. Was there a shift in society or culture or legislation changes that contributed to this or was it a gradual culmination of events?

I just started re-watching the highly enjoyable film La Batalla: Cinco de Mayo, about the French intervention in Mexico (culminating with the Battle of Puebla).

There's a scene early on depicting a conversation between Juan Almonte and others from the conservative Mexican side and Napoleon III. I've of course no doubt that some or all of this is dramatized, but I was curious about one aspect in particular. Specifically, at one point Napoleon III says that Benito Juárez's decision to stop payments on Mexico's foreign debt is a "perfect excuse" to send troops. One of his true motivations, he says, is to be in a position to give military aid to the Confederate States (he tells the Count of Lorencez to lead troops north after subjugating Mexico). Other things he says suggest that his hope was to leave the U.S. divided and thus weaker (rather than necessarily supporting the CSA in and of itself).

I didn't think the United States was really regarded as a player on the international scene (at least militarily) until well after the Civil War, and so it seemed a little strange to me that the status of the U.S. would really play such a role in French strategic thinking. That being said, I can see that being a nice bonus if the main objective (Mexico) were taken care of.

So, how much did supporting the CSA actually play a role in his decision to intervene militarily in Mexico?

I'm a history minor and I'd like to get a jumpstart on a class (The Early Republic) with some reading this summer. Any recommendations?

I recently saw the musical Cabaret, which for those of you who have never seen it, is set in 1930s Berlin. In it, they imply that alternative lifestyles such as homosexuality and polyamory were largely accepted before the rise of the Nazis. Now obviously Broadway plays shouldn't be considered a reliable source, but is there any truth to this portrayal?

During the Manhattan Project time period, were people able to detect the first atomic bomb detonation in New Mexico July 16, 1945? If so, how did they react, seeing as at that time nobody should have had any idea what it was?

I chose those three regions because they have been in direct contact for a long time.

During the late Republic, how sophisticated was the Roman economy? How did the economy change in the transition? How much did Roman administrators understand about economic forces, and how did their understanding compare with today?

I found out that the writers of the the Four Books (Al-Kutub Al-Arb‘ah) of Shia Twelver Islam and the Six Books (Al-Kutub as-Sittah) of mainstream Sunni Islam were Persians or grew up in Persian-speaking areas. Exactly what is the background of this?

im not talking about when it first introduced but when it became a common thing that people talk about and has some kind of influence on the outside world,

did people already had computers before? why? When it became common for bands to have a website? tell everything
