Hello Guys!

Im not even sure you can help me, but trying doesnt hurt, so lets do this.

Im a Brazilian internationalist, and since in my country there is no way i can get a masters degree related to area that I really love in IR (soft power), i was thinking about trying to get a masters degree in History.Recently I read some books about cultural history, mainly the ones writed by Burke, and something keep comming to my mind but im not entirely sure i can use this, so here i am seeking help :

Do you guys think i can use the "representations" concept of cultural history in order to study how Brazil are potrayed in Videogames? Or do you guys think thats impossible and if i really wanna use this subject i should try something in communications?

Also, books recomendatios on this subject are always welcome! Sorry for the rusty English, and thank you anyway!

A lot of resources spent on something that did not help him win battles.

Before it was called 'Lombardy', did people still refer to it as "Cisalpine Gaul", or was there another name for it as a part of Italy?

Now bear in mind that I'm not an expert in this matter, only an amateur who loves to think about ancient warfare and read a few things...

Still I wonder why H.I. remained the main and most significant force in ancient greek, macedonian and roman warfare, knowing their use of skirmishers and light infantry.

For example, I read that LI ran behind Alexander's Cavalry to flank the ennemy, and that peltasts once defeated spartan hoplites. The peltasts were capable of harassing hoplites while avoiding hand to hand combat.

Why pinning down the ennemy phalanx with arrows or slings and quickly flanking them with light infantry wasnt a common succesfull tactic ? Why was it necessary to have and sustain Heavy Infantry ?

Thanks for your answers !

To clarify I'm envisioning a family on the level of for instance Bob Cratchit's in A Christmas Carol, i.e. as many of the older members of the family as are able having to work almost every day.

Is my mother losing out on getting a paycheck for several years at a time to keep me fed and dry, or am I more likely being passed around to whatever older siblings are able to get time off/entrusted to someone my parents would trust as a wetnurse/what have you?

I had a book ages ago regardin dirty secrets of world war 2, one of these secrets was that the us United States intended to drop the first atomic weapons on Germany, is there any basis for this?

Follow up: would anyone know whT the book was? Follow up unrelated; are there any books on construction of high security clearance facilities? My mind starts with "who built the Manhattan project buildings?" followed by "who built the missle silos in the 50s and 60s?"

I recently heard that being from the province of Hispania, the emperor Hadrian had an accent relative to the Romans from Italy which he consciously tried to overcome.

Would this accent have necessarily represented the first of the sound changes which are characteristic of Spanish? I know that the first evidence we have of romance languages as substantially different from Latin only comes from the 9th century, but on the other hand, it probably took on the order of centuries for any written attestation to catch up with they way people were actually speaking.

Do we have any specific evidence of various accents of Latin emerging in the 2nd or 3rd centuries, such as what they would have sounded like relative to Classical Latin? I would imagine that this evidence would be something like spelling mistakes in "proper Latin" or comedy making fun of people from various provinces.

I mean its origin would be traced back to the Italian Peninsula.

I know that remains of the Celtic people have been found from Ireland to the Balkans. How do archeologists know that all these people, from the Scordisci in the Balkans, to other Celts in modern day Vienna, to the ones in the British Isles were of the same culture, even though it wasn't a united kingdom or empire, and many of their traditions and gods were different?

I am clinically diagnosed with both major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. I know that depression has been called melancholia in the past, but I have a feeling that some mental illnesses are stronger during certain eras. ADHD for example.

It's entirely possible that my perception is off-base, so I'm curious about the actual history of mental illness.

And, if possible, further; what caused Prussia to inherit/join with Brandenburg?

How many people moved out of Hiroshima and Nagasaki to different cities or countries because of the atomic bombs?
