It seems like World War Two was fought very differently to World War One both in terms of speed and style of combat. What led to this change in style of conflict? Was it better technology or something else?

While Japanese American-specific units were also founded, their internment could be compared with segregation against African Americans in the south. I'd love to learn whether there was synergy between the two groups in working against (racial) discrimination.
Thanks in advance!

To me, it seems like his reign was mostly successful. So what exactly happened that led to his fall?

I'm asking this in reaction to this comment which essentially asserted that the perceived rudeness of Chinese tourists abroad was largely a result of Mao's cultural revolution stripping away traditional Chinese values in a way that has left China's new affluent elite without the system of etiquette required to handle its new wealth.
The comment makes some pretty bold claims, and I was wondering how well some of them are supported by historical evidence.
Particularly:
Did the cultural revolution really "erase" Chinese culture in a fundamental and lasting way, particularly for citizens outside the cultural elite?
To what extent can the effects of the cultural revolution be perceived in contomporary Chinese behaviour and attitudes.

I am asking how the Russian, Austrians, and the Prussians treated the Poles. Do they have any difference in their treatment?

Christer Bergstrom argues in " The Battle of Britain – an Epic Conflict Revisited" that the Bf 110 earned such a terrible reputation during the Battle of Britain (and in the eyes of subsequent historians) because it was forced to fly slow, close-escort missions for the bombers, making all of them easy prey for the RAF. He also argues that 109s that carried out the same sorts of escort missions suffered the same proportion of losses as the 110s.
Do these arguments hold any weight? I've always found the 110 to be an interesting and beautiful aircraft and now I'm curious as to whether it's been given a bad break in the history books due to improper usage.

WWI is seen as a combination of factors building up, and consequently exploding, but which State had the most to do with these factors, to the point that blame could be placed on them?

I find folks like Warren and Owen fascinating the more I read about them.
What did the "horrible" c-word mean in those days? Was it the same classless, stateless, moneyless, utopian society that it's usually described as now?

My understanding is that it is German in origin. I have also read some claims about it being a carry over from paganism but no clear smoking gun on this.

We're omnivores, and by grasses I mean the grains that they produce in any form (wheat, barley. Etc) I imagine there were wild fields of wheat that we settled near and cultivated. Is this era tied with the beginning of agricultural settlements, or did that come much later, tied with the cultivation of seed crops like we practice today?
