Is it a coincidence, or were the numbers connected in some way?

I understand there was catholic vs protestant and catholic vs Anglican

but iv never heard of Anglican vs protestant or the three all at the same time

so did this ever happen in the past does it happen today the same way Protestantism and Catholicism does?

I know very little about the Wars of the Roses, so I was wondering if there are any websites, books or videos that you may recommend?

I am hoping to get a more in-depth understanding of the collapse of the Spanish Empire in South America. I am a complete newcomer to the subject, so any general texts would be welcome.

I was looking at a globe today and it looks like Russia shares a close border with North America. I wasn't aware of this. Why didn't they discover such a large land mass so close to them for that long and even migrate to/explore it? What happened? Am I missing something?

Of course, people were meant to follow the State Religion, of the local HRE Prince/Ruling Family etc, but understandly, they often didn't, and stuck to their own religion. Was there any easy way of telling which religion they followed, or did they keep it a secret?

I recently watched the first episode of Band of Brothers and they mention this... I thought it was curious. Does the US have a history of lining soldiers up and executing them under these circumstances? Does the US do this now?

For example the equipment of the soldiers and military structure.

This is a purely historical question by the way, and is meant in no way as a way to attack one religion or another. I'm thinking about the Ikko Ikki revolts in Japan, but I'm by no means looking for information just on Japan. Thank you!

I think the best way to understand Egypt is to also study the other nations that surrounded and influenced her. After all How much of american history can you know if you dont know about her English, Spanish, French, German or native american routes. Does anyone know any legitimate documentaries or informative videos about Babylon, Assyria, Canaan, Nubians, the Akkadians or any of those other ancient bronze age or older civilizations that shared the same area or existed around the same time or earlier then what we would call egypt?

Something along the lines of say, the Viet Cong in Vietnam. If not, is there any reason why?

Like a book on the history of diplomacy.

Sorry for the shitty description. I can't remember if this is actually a thing I learned about or if I made it up in my head.

I was playing Total War: Rome II and Legionary Cohort unit in the game has mixed looking soldiers. You would have the classic looking Augustine soldier with the Lorica Segmentata and Scutum, Gladius etc. But then you would have a soldier with a Golden Helmet and Chainmail Armour, Republican Scutum. I was just wondering when was the classic Augustine soldier take up most or all of the cohort?
