I'm asking primarily about cities on the continent in Europe that were (or were at risk of being) overrun.

I am aware that after WW1, the two countries were a lot closer than they had been previously in many ways. But what was the formal British military position regarding France?

Britain declared war on Germany after the invasion of Poland, however, had Germany not invaded Poland and gone straight for France would Britain have declared war?

I was reading in another subreddit, and someone said how growing up near the lakes was nothing like seeing the sea for the first time. It got me thinking; did the Europeans realise it was lakes (Either through knowledge of the Pacific, Natives or other means.) Or did they believe they had reached the Pacific itself. Any sources or primary evidence on this as well?

Titel says it all - though it might be a mix between two stories, but I know that the whole "pay the executioner and he'll instead take a piece of your gums, rather than your tongue"-part i true :)

I am especially interested in books which focus on urban planning during the 20th century and the impact of 75/85 cutting through.

Title. Is there any connection between the current Republican party and the Republican party that Lincoln ran under?

I am trying to track down one of my ancestors. There's this photograph that has been submitted as her over and over again. But someone told me they didn't think the time line matched the photo. She lived from 1790-1832. Can anyone advise me? Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a translation of Einhards "Vita Karoli Magna" and the only one I can find is called the early lives of charlemagne and seems to be only two volumes. Is this the whole work or just, as the name would imply, earlier excerpts.

I'm looking for a solid historical account that examines the evidence for and life of Jesus. Thanks.

I was having a discussion about Augustine of Hippo and someone argued that if someone preached that the Eucharist is merely a symbolic act and not literally Jesus' flesh and blood (just like what St. Augustine said), he would certainly be sentenced to death by burning.

Is there any truth to this?

Perhaps Agincourt? Roman soldiers would have their pilum so perhaps one of their battles although since the legionaire was a close combat soldier I won't consider them in this question.

The main method of warfighting today is with ranged weapons but in ancient history most troops would fight with close combat weapons, which battle signalled the historical transition?

Edit: I'm talking about the division of the Roman Empire in the 4th century.
