I'm really interested in what we know about prehistory, ancient cultures and the timeline of evolution of man over the past 200-300 million years.
Thanks!

i.e. would you find French and British, or Germans and Austrians in the same trench?

The only one that I know of that's by a woman is the Diary of Anne Frank, and while I don't doubt it's not the only one, there does seem to be a lack of female voices in talking about the Holocaust experience. Why is this? And can you recommend some female Holocaust narratives?

I recall reading at some point that during the Yom Kippur war, and at other times thereafter, Israel threatened to launch nuclear weapons against targets in Europe and elsewhere if it appeared that they were going to lose a war against their Arab neighbors.
Is there any truth to these claims? If not, what was Israel's nuclear weapon policy like during the 70s and 80s?

I've been reading a bit about him recently and he seemed like a pretty interesting person. His advise to the tsar seems quite reasonable and yet people say he is the cause of the downfall of Russian monarchy. Is this true or just propaganda and why?

For example Charles XII of Sweden fled to the ottoman empire and stayed there for 4 years. I mean English was not as common as today?

Was there a point where we moved from killing wounded on the battlefield to taking prisoners to be humane (as opposed to taking prisoners as bargaining chips)? Have we always accepted surrenders / peace agreements under the terms of the victor before the oppositions army was completely destroyed?

Casually browsing and reading about the dissolution of the abbeys following England's split with the Catholic Church. Can anyone shed light on the sentiment of the time, specifically on how these grand structures were reduced to the ruins they remain today.
Thank you.

I watch lots of African documentaries and I've realised that so many uneducated people in countries such as Nigeria or Liberia etc can speak English quite well. Sorry if it's a dumb question, I haven't connected the dots quite well yet. (I don't mean countries such as South Africa which I know has English as an official language)

Canadian Confederation occurred shortly after the U.S. Civil War. I was wondering in what ways that war affected confederation.

I'm trying to find if anyone knows what Lafayette's epaulets looked like. I'm doing a sculpt of him based off a Houdon and I cant seem to make out what it was. It kind of looks like a french revolution cockade.

What I'm saying is, when did American democracy officially start becoming "for the people"?

Coming across articles such as this made me wonder if decolonization in Asia was significantly different than other places in the world and if there was actually a driving force behind it.
