You know like pirates in movies and similar.

Did the British government in Canada restrict information to the citizens in Quebec City/Montreal? We're there any attempts to revolt against the British crown in Canada "I know the French population was very small, but were there any evolutionary movements coinciding with the French Revolution"

Also what about the small remaking population in Acadia, were there any movements to influence the US government to support the revolutionaries, " I ask this because I know New England as a region was very pro-British and saw the French Revolution as a threat to their economy, so did the Acadians in the region have any voice in trying to throw support towards the revolution?

Finally, what was going on in New Orleans and Louisiana at the time? Were there any strong anti-slavery movements to coincide with the Declaration of Rights of Man? Did the Louisiana government try to sure press any pro revolution movements?

Or did these areas generally not care about the Revolution in France?

That title must seem such a non sequitur to anyone who doesn't have the context that Edo Japan's only major western trading partner were the Dutch

Apparently the Plantagenet kings of England adopted the lion into their coat of arms as early as the 11th century... How/where would they have even seen a lion? Why not an elephant or a rhino?

My great great grandfather is commonly known in my family to have been adopted, any work on genealogy completely stops there. What would the process of adoption have been like in the Austro-Hungarian Empire? How would it have been done? Who would it have been done through? Is there any possibilities of finding records of his adoption?

Swiss policy of neutrality is obviously famous. I suspect WWII likely strained this policy to the limits. The European Axis powers had at least strongly considered an invasion of Switzerland via Operation Tannenbaum. Why was this plan never executed? How well were the Swiss prepared to defend against an invasion? How much of a advantage were the Swiss granted due to terrain?

A few other questions vaguely related to this topic that I was curious about: How did the Swiss army perform historically when fighting defensive wars? When is the last time the Swiss broke their policy of neutrality (if ever)?

I realize the etymology of names are often confusing and debated over, so I guess the latter question may be the more informative one. I do know that the names don't come from the emperor's surname, nor are they necessarily some standalone word that has lexical meaning (eg. 隋 (Sui) doesn't mean anything other than the Sui Dynasty as far as I know).

I've heard it claimed that Adolf Hitler lived briefly in Liverpool with his brother's family, is there any good evidence backing this up?

I'm especially interested in the role of urban transit and motorisation.

I'd also like to know some good books about this stuff. Even if the claims aren't substantiated, I thinks it's a cool thought and would like to know more about the rumours and facts.

Its fairly common knowledge know how the so-called "Blitzkreig" tactics in WWII worked, however I have heard Soviet tactics described mainly as "Deep Battle (or Deep Operations)" but also as "Attack in Echelon," and "Consecutive Operations".

What did these facets of doctrine actually entail in the tactical and strategic sense? How did they differ from the common perception of Blitzkreig?

Edit: Dammit! WWII not WII......

Are there any in depth books on the formation of Austria-Hungary? Anything concerning the disintegration of it as a European power rather than a footnote to Germany?

I've noticed that both sides of my family have both told me on separate occasions to not have the soles of my shoes facing upwards. Is it some religious thing, b/c either side follow different faiths, or a cultural thing?

To start off, I have read all the linked posts on careers as a historian, or what a person majoring in History can look forward to for a career etc. This isn't asking any of those questions.

I'm in the Navy, I just started my Junior year of my Bachelors (I have an associates already). After this semester, I will be done with all prerequisites, and I'll be starting my core classes in my major (History).

I have a few problems.

1.) When I start my next semester, that will be it, I can't practically change my major. My funds (Tuition Assistance) will not go on forever, and I am on shore duty right now, so I CAN and WILL finish my Bachelors before I leave for either Sea Duty, or get out. I do not have almost any flexibility here, I have to set my sights and reach my goal.

2.) I am stationed in overseas, and I am only distance learning. Right now I am going to University of Maryland University College. This leaves me with being unable to network very effectively. One officer I work with has sort of become my mentor, and he told me the best part about college is meeting people and discovering career paths you otherwise would have never known existed. This is very difficult. The second problem I have come into is that UMUC isn't exactly Harvard. It's 100% distant learning for me and I'm afraid this will limit my choices when I graduate as to where I can go for graduate school. Ideally, I would LOVE to go to UMASS (but they only accept like 20 people a year for their History programs). Will going to a college like UMUC limit my choices for my next school?

So my question is broad I suppose. I would LOVE some insight from actual historians on my situation here. First of all, I have no idea if I'm going to stay in the Navy or not. Second, my passion is American History. I LOVE it. But, I can still change my major. My other passion is Computer Science, and a hard science such as that would provide me with more options than a under graduate degree in History.

What do I do? Do I change my major to a hard science? Do I do what I love? Will my situation now impact my choices for graduate school to the point where it's going to diminish or halt my forward progress as a student of History?

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and honestly, any input would be very helpful. I don't have anyone in my field of study here to talk to about this, and I absolutely LOVE this subreddit.

This has probably been answered before. Can someone point me in the right direction?
