I know Romans had rotations to relieve the front lines but I'm trying to imagine how armor-clad medieval foot soldiers could last more than 10 minutes of close combat without being overcome with exhaustion. Adrenaline is one thing but what did they do in the open field? Did the soldier who monitored his stamina and escape combat to rest survive over those who didn't?

Did monarchs or nobles ever sell pieces of their territory and not keep them as vassals?

I recently read that in 1346, the Duchy of Estonia was sold by the King of Denmark for 19,000 marks to the Teutonic Order. Did any other medieval monarch do this? Are there any notable sales you can remember?

What happens with Guan yu's weapon the green crescent dragon or was it actually real or was it just made up to make him sound more legendary

Forgive this question for being out of season, but I can’t stop wondering here. When did nativity scenes become common? In America it’s common to see smaller displays within religious homes or outside on the front lawn during the Christmas season. What’s the story behind these? Why do so many include things like the Wise Men and the animals they brought?

Specifically the Achaemenid period. Thanks

So in my school's history textbook, the Spanish empire was portrayed as the most brutal of the colonial powers compared to that of France and Britan. While the idea seems plausible, I know that America and Anglosphere as a whole has had anti-Catholic and anti-Spanish problems in the past. So I want to know if this claim is mostly true, or an exaggeration due to English/American propaganda.

Am doing my midterm on the deforestation and struggles of Russia’s northern old growth forests. I do know that the USSR performed multiple nuclear tests in Russia, but did they perform nuclear tests specifically in the Siberian region? Any history of nuclear contamination and Siberia would be greatly appreciated!

What was tourism in Nazi Germany like? Did the Nazi party promote or hinder tourism? How did the Nazis treat non-white and "non-aryan" tourists? And, what did the Nazis do to tourists present in Germany when WW2 started?

The US directly and indirectly supported the Khmer Rouge, together with China and ASEAN, when they realized they were an excellent weapon to use against Vietnam, a Soviet ally.

US support for the Khmer Rouge continued right up until the peace plan in the 1990s indirectly giving de-facto shelter from justice. The thing is, putting Pol Pot on trial would also have brought out a lot of sensitive information about China, the USA and Thailand which also delayed getting him to court. This is why the current trials were delayed for over 10 years. Sadly, a lot of other hands were mixed up in Pol Pot’s evil and not everyone was so keen to open up that can of worms.

This feels no different from US giving immunity and shelter to Unit 731, Marcos and Shan of Iran. And denying victims justice

This might be a long shot and quite a niche question but I was curious if there is a historical link here.

Basically, in the fountain pen world (check out /r/fountainpens to know what I'm talking about) some of the most well-known and renouned manufacturers are often either German (Pelikan, Montblanc, Lamy, Kaweco), Italian (Aurora, Visconti, Montegrappa, Leonardo) or Japanese (Pilot, Namiki, Platinum, Sailor). These brands have a very good reputation of producing high quality, reliable, and/or beautiful/iconic pens in almost every price range.

I've read somewhere that this might have to do with the fact that after WWII, the Axis powers were forced to demilitarize and thus put all the factories and workers who used to produce war materials to work on other products like fountain pens, musical instruments etc. Is there something to this theory?

Was it common to bury them at sea so as to not spread disease, or would they hold them until they found land to give them a 'proper burial'? I am wondering this because I am reading about the long and arduous voyages of colonists to the New World during the Age of Exploration and my text said that as many as 20% of passengers would sometimes die while crossing the ocean, and I began to wonder what they do with the bodies of their family members or friends. Any further information would be really interesting to read about, thanks?

And if so, what were the implications of that? Did an army not wage war for fear of being cursed or losing to magical prowess?

Edit: For clarification, I'm speaking of supposed magic—not implying that magic is real.

By that, I mean how would people that modern medicine would classify as Having Aspergers or high or low-functioning ASD be treated?

Edit: I asked about Britain but I'd love to know about any other place in medieval Europe if anyone knows anything

Let's assume I'm a man and that I am not dirt poor but nowhere near rich; I'm picturing the average townsperson. Maybe I have a wife and kids if that makes a difference.

I'd like to know what this kind of person would require for this kind of "short trip".

I'm guessing this trip would require multiple days and a fair amount of preparation. What kind of gear would be common to bring along for this kind of voyage?Would it be safe to do this alone or would he prefer to go with a group?I'm also guessing that having a horse was costly but doing the trip on horseback sounds massively beneficial. Would it be common for him to own a horse? If not, was there any way to rent one for such a trip?

I have repeatedly seen claims made by leftist pundits that the Nazis invented the term “privatization” to describe their economic policy. However, since it seems the vast majority of discussion about this leads into people acting in extremely bad faith (ie, calling the Nazis leftists or something else of the sort) I’m hoping this somewhat impartial subreddit will be able to answer the question. Additionally, if this is true, is the way the Nazis used the term the same way it is used now?

I recently heard about the concept of "the Concert of Europe." Apparently it is used to describe the delicate balance of power in Europe after the Napoleonic Wars up until the beginning of World War I, so more or less almost all of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th. I've also heard that within this period there were several events that could have kicked off a continental wide conflict in Europe. What were some of these events that could have escalated toward a massive conflict like WWI in the 1800s?

I know Napoleon attempted another great continental empire, but all the other countries teamed up against him . Why were the Roman the only european civilization to successfully dominate Europe?

Looking at archive footage and photos, why were many little boys dressed up in Sailor uniforms?

Was it just a fashion fad? If so how did it start?
