Why did India end up with Christian-majority regions in the country's east, as opposed to much sparser representation in the rest of the country?

I was previously under the impression that India's Christian population was relatively evenly distributed, with a more urban than rural presence but largely geographically proportionate. However, there are three Christian-majority states in the east, Nagaland, Mizoram and Meghalaya.

Of course, vast majority of India's Christians are elsewhere. However, I am interested if there is a historical reason(s) for the representation of the religion in the east.

Why did humans ramp up Nuclear Weapons production and the technology wasn't used for mankinds betterment post WWII?

20 year old college student here. Pretty damn new to reddit and having to think so abstractly so I haven't been able to find very good places on the internet for this kinda thing. Rather curious myself about this topic, and it proved to be a good topic for my classes final paper.

So far all I have been able to find is Eisenhower's farewell address and a retelling of nuclear armaments history from nobelprize.org. I understand the Military Industrial Complex has a lot do with it but finding any good peer reviewed articles via my college's library has proved a little more than difficult.

I want to understand at what point humans agreed: This will be for war, not so we can start building utopias.

Any queries that I could use to find more information or websites would be highly appreciated. Note: High quality sources online are things with a .org or .gov URL. Source articles like Eisenhower's speech, peer reviewed articles, or books.

Prior thanks for any help or taking the time to consider it! Note: Apologies for the shameless inquiry, I don't wish to have reddit write my paper for me, I just can't find more than something that doesn't immediately reinforce the M.A.D. doctrine.

Some historians claim that Mao, in his early years, was a Hunan nationalist. Were sub-national/regionalist movements ever popular in post-Qing China, and what happened to them during Maoist rule?

In addition, if these movements were not popular, why weren't they so? If they were, why did they not have the same political force as the Kuomintang or Communists during this era?

Pantheon

During the Christianization of the Pantheon were all pagan images and symbols destroyed? I understand that this was likely done, but if so have any been restored or uncovered? I haven't been able to find anything directly addressing this topic.

Why weren't the D-day landings supported by smoke shells in front of the troop transports?

It just seems like, if you're attacking a well-fortified position with little to no cover, you'd want to conceal your movements at least long enough to get off the landing barge.

What was the actual importance of The US in the 2nd world war?

From what I know it was Hitler that declared war on the US after they declared war on Japan and that they first really joined when the war was about to turn at Stalingrad. From what I've seen on sites the amount of Americans that fought in the 2nd world war were 16.1 million making up less than 1% of the people that fought in the war. I know a lot of Americans seem to brag about having saved Europe, but did they really at all? Late to action and taking all glory is all I can see

In the History of Rome podcast, it's mentioned several times, that Caligula and Claudius were in massive debt. To whom are absolute rulers, who can kill anyone on a whim, were in debt?

What the title says. Mike Duncan says that Caligula quickly squandered the fortune left to him by Tiberius and incurred lots of debt. About Claudius, he says that Caligula basically stole most of his money and so he had to go into lots of debt before becoming emperor.

My question is - Caligula wielded absolute power and exercised it regularly by killing whomever he wanted. Claudius was in the imperial family. What being in debt meant to them? Who had the ability to collect it? Why was there even debt when Caligula seemed to have no qualms about just taking whatever estates he wanted. (Episodes in question are 60 and 61)
