Did the UN organise peace talks immediately, did they condemn the British counter attack? Did they ever consider using their own troops?

Was it just the Mongol invasion? Or were there other factors going on?

An example of what I'm referring to is this image of Mithradates VI and Hypsicratea. He's a lot less "Greco-Persian Monarch" and a lot more "Henry Tudor" than I would have expected. Was this because of a lack of reference for what those people and locations would have looked like? Or was this a more explicit decision to try and relate them to the current events at the time? Was there just not a general understanding of how different the environment, technology and culture would have been for these people and events?

Let's suppose some enemy of Rome spent some weeks slowly infiltrating soldiers as roman citizens. All the attacks starts from the very heart of the most important places and spreading. They start a killing spree not caring if they are soldiers or civils, adults or kids.
Goverment:
Military:
Society:
In case of victory, what would have been the steps taken to restore the order and rebuilding?
In case of defeat, and based on the behaviour of that era: the enemy would have taken control of Rome or they would destroy and burn the city?
Thanks for your answers and sorry if there's any mistake, english is not my native language.

After the Second Punic War, Rome imposed a variety of peace conditions on Carthage in order to keep it weak. However, it didn't occupy Carthage, allowing it to rise up later leading to the third war. It seems it would have been safer to dismantle Carthage's entire political system and subordinate Carthage as just yet another city within the Roman Republic. What were the reasons this was not done?

A poster in /r/history asked a similar question, wondering if Moses was a Hebrew name or Egyptian name and someone replied that it was likely an Egyptian one at first with -moses on a name meaning "Son of", like with the Pharaohs Thutmose and Ramosis being the "Sons of" Thut and Ra, respectively. This poster then goes on to claim the the Biblical Moses would have been an Egyptian name
but with of course the advent of the one god religion the first part of the name (a 'false' Egyptian god) had to be dropped leaving just Moses.
Is there any truth to this?

I'm currently reading Longbourne which is set in the world of Pride and Prejudice and the central character, a servant of about 18, is depicted as being able to read. It struck me as sounding wrong, because I can't imagine that people like that ever went to school, but the rest of the book is well-researched so I'm not sure.

I have to admit I don't know much of the historiography of this subject, but I am curious. I know that at some point after the war he was seen quite negatively as either incompetent or a butcher, but I have heard that sometime later people looked at him differently. How have views of him changed in the last hundred years?

Japan's aircraft excelled at speed, manueverability and flight range, but this cost them dearly in the long run because their pilots suffered terrible attrition. My question is are there any exceptions to this? Did Japan use any planes with armor or upgraded structural durability? Did they have any prototypes like this? If so, did said planes see any service?

I tried to look this up from the internet and didn't find anything. I also asked this from my history teacher who didn't really give me a proper answer. Only thing I think I might know about this is that Finland had no other chance and Finland had a good relationship with Germany earlier. But I have no idea why did Germany give Finland to the Soviet Union.
