It seems everything I've been able to find has been from the US or South Vietnamese perspective.

I'd really like to hear some first hand accounts from North Vietnamese soldiers, generals and the like. Where can I find that?

A decade ago I completed my MA in Medieval Studies. I was writing about social conditions in 11th century France. My professor recommended I use a historical technique that involved taking an inventory of all known residents in an area and analyzing their relationships.

The name of this methodology is insanely long (6+ syllables)and sounds like a medical procedure. I was fluent in Latin, but didn't recgnize any cognates except -ography.

Does any one know the name of this technique, or where I might find a list of historical techniques?

My question is probably too vague for a concrete answer, but could somebody point me towards an online resource? Googling "historical methodologies" isn't helpful.

I am primarily interested in the groups around Elliot Bay.

I've recently picked up Adam Zamoyski's Rites of Peace because I rather liked his prequel about Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia.

Now on page 135, when he talks about Metternich's desire to have a fully-qualified British negotiator at the Allied headquarters for quick decisions of the coalition, he states that:

The British costitution did not permit the head of state to leave the country, so there could be no question of the Prince Regent coming to allied headquarters [...]

This is something I have never heard before and which seems kind of an odd law so I was hoping someone could possibly tell me more about it or at least point me to where such a thing might be written? I'm not really savvy enough with British law to have a lot of ideas on where to look, I tried the Acts of Union without success so far.

Are there foods from the Roman Empire that we know the names and/or descriptions of but not the recipes and/or ingredients? Have any attempts been made to "guess" or replicate these recipes in modern times?

This might be a better question then my previous one

Hello all, I'm looking to write a research paper on Caligula. In the paper I'm taking the side that shows that he was not mad but however post mortem his legacy was changed by the senate/whomever. If anyone has any relevant info I'd be grateful.

I cannot find any information as to how the Germans trained its flight crews. I know how the RAF trained crews in OTU centers in the UK, I live near a former base. I know the RAF losses in training was relatively high, I assume the Germans had the same problem.

I know the RAF had various centers across the UK, using aircraft that had seen a long active service and therefore deemed unsuitable or obsolete. Yet I do not know, where the Luftwaffe trained and what aircraft was used, especially in the latter stages of the war.

I love the former HBO series Deadwood. Although I know that show is semi historically accurate, it probably takes a lot of liberties for the sakes of entertainment.

In one of the episodes, two characters go into the 'cooler' of the butcher to have a private conversation. I've always wondered...how did they keep the 'cooler' cold enough to keep meat safe/sanitary?

It seems unlikely that they would refer to their enemies as the allies. Obviously, they will call them something in Japanese, German, and Italian, but what are those and what do they translate to?

I was reading about how the Jews were welcomed into the Ottoman Empire after the Spanish Inquisition but in knowing that they were an Islamic Caliphate, and would later go on to commit the Armenian Genocide, I was wondering how tolerant they actually were of Jews, Christians and other minority groups during their golden age.

If India split due to religious differences why weren't the Sikhs granted a state? Why wasn't the Punjab given to either Pakistan or India instead of divided between them?
