Or would I be even fighting in the same tournament.

If there is a thread more suitable, please direct me towards it. I asked my professor for help, but he says I have to figure it out on my own.

I was given the topic "Battle of Cunaxa" for a research paper in my class on Xenophon. I know about modern European history, but have zero experience in classics.

I don't know what my thematic focus for such a paper would be. My main source is Xenophon, so I don't want to just rephrase his account. I don't know how to put analysis in this.

I do apologize if there is a better place for this question, but I know this thread is generally pretty alive.

Thank you.

In civilizations such as ancient Rome in which money was only in coin form, how were vast amounts of wealth stored and spent? Were there huge vaults? When making a large purchase, say, a new villa, how would the money be transferred?

In my opinion there were many other bigger confrontations and crises before the assasination that could've spiraled into a world war, what makes the assasination stand out?

Excuse my poor english as it is not my native language.

I am studying the 19th century in the american west as part of my history course and I have noticed that the description of battles features "25 soldiers were killed by Indians and 150 Indians were killed by the US soldiers at the battle of Wounded Knee ." Why are these battles so small scale compared to, lets say the US civil war?

I know some last names like Smith and Baker were from a profession, but how did we get names like Adams, Johnson, and Owens or other more obscure names? I was wondering about how people marry in and out of various family names, but we haven't all turned into one of a select few large names.

My point is, that state and local borders should be formed for political reasons or geographic reasons. Much of the borders of the modern United States were formed through land grabs by powerful landowners or through piece-by-piece acquisition and structuring.

Obviously, if you erased all the borders and asked economists and politicians to start from scratch, it would be completely different.

So has this conversation come up in Congress before, or would it be career suicide to even bring it up? Also, obviously it seems too arduous to attempt.

Have any prominent professors/researchers proposed appropriate state boundaries? How many would there be? More or less than 50?

I understand it was an expansion of Presidential power, but to what extent? Also, what power did it give to the President?

With all the huge power struggles in Europe over the ages how did such a tiny state manage to stay unconquered? Surely there must be some reason for this?

Did the concept of chivalry extend to commoners or anyone who wasn't considered nobility? If not, did knights generally avoid commoners? I apologize if I'm being too vague.

This question can be directed toward any war where aerial combat was common, but more specifically the Second World War that arguably saw the fiercest and most widespread fighting in the air.

Was there specific insignia placed on an ace's fighter? If so, were they even identifiable during flight?

Were there specific mid-flight maneuvers attributed to certain pilots that made them identifiable?

Would pilots have been briefed prior to a mission that there was an enemy ace(s) operation in their given theatre?

I hear some people say that red paint was the cheapest color since all barns were painted red. Others say it was the most expensive color hence why Ford painted the all model T's black.

I am interested in knowing how a nation devastated by the calamities of the great war stood up on it's feet financially and started another war in a period of 20 years. How much national nationalism help? What was Hitler's role in it?

I'm sure you have all heard the general story, just wondering if it is true, or a story made up for philosophical/ethical debate

I am writing an essay on the vikings and their impact on the United Kingdom for my English class in Norway. So far I have mentioned:

• Norse words influenced the English Language
• Street names in some places
• Names like Eric and Howard has Norse origin
• The addition of the patronymic son at the end of surnames
• Thursday comes from the norse word Thorsdag

Does anyone know of anything else? I would be very grateful if anyone could help me. :)

They seem to always be lumped together. Were they equal? Was Wilbur the genius and Orville deadweight? Was one the engineer and one the businessman/marketer?

(Bonus question, do you believe they were first, or was Gustave Whitehead or Alberto S Dumont?)

I'm primarily asking this question due to an ongoing conflict as to how members of certain cultures should be portrayed in the video game Crusader Kinda 2.

That being said, would Cumans, Pecheneg, Avars, Alans, and other European steppe nomads have looked like the modern inhabitants of the places these cultures ruled? Or would these Turkic and Iranic people have looked visually noticeably different from modern Ukrainians, Hungarians, and Georgians?
