More specifically, what kind of processes would be involved during the various stages? Please and thank you

Or maybe they did and I've just never encountered the North American version.

Just to be perfectly clear in the questioning as well, I am indeed talking about mythological creatures here. I had an interesting opportunity to attend Elf School in Iceland about 4-5 years ago and we spoke for a long time about different traditions regarding elves, but I was unable to think of any North American tales of elves. When beliefs in creatures like the kraken, werewolves (loup-garou) and various lake monsters seem to have crossed (Nessie v Ogopogo for example) and North America has its own native supernatural beliefs (Sasquatch, Windigo), why didn't the elves?

Edit: I know of American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Thank you.

It is most apparent in the names of 'Kaiser' and 'Tsar' as both has its roots in the word Caesar.

I have heard that some people say that world war 1 and 2 was the same war, but with a break. What do you think?

(Forgive my ignorance)

I'm hinting at such discoveries as the proof of the existence of Pontius Pilatus in 1961 and the possiblity that the Biblical Hittites were the same as the Anatolian civilization we now give that name. The greater point I am trying to get at is this: while full of historical errors and embellishments, after the loss of the Library of Alexandria and the Sack of Rome the Bible seemed to be the reigning authority on history for 1000 years and while it got so much wrong, I'm surprised that so ancient a text actually got a fair amount correct - or at least was a fair guide to modern archeologists for where they should be searching for ruins. How much history was lost with the Bible being the only extant written material on the matter until recently?

I'm mainly interested to see how those who served in loyalist militias or units were treated i.e.: were they persecuted to any extent or "marked men" in the post-war world. Also, was there an "exodus" to other still British held lands (Canada or the West Indies)?

Thanks

For some reason I find it crazy to think that war was done in your best suit but blood soaked and destroyed. It would be like the us army going to war in tuxedos today

So, semi-legendary hero Ragnar Lodbrok who may or may not have existed and may or may not have done the things ascribed to him, supposedly fathered several historically known sons, but before Ragnar, what were the cultural/social/economic factors that led the Scandinavian people into 300 years of raiding and conquest?

I've been told that there was no feudal system in India or the Islamic World. How were large empires administrated, then? Did no Sultans divide their land amongst Sheikhs and Emirs?

Post secondary institutes today are often viewed as being the hub of major partying and debauchery amongst the student body. How long as this opinion been held by society? Has it always been that way? Is there any pre-20th century instances of universities being regarded as such?

Hello, I recall reading that the Art of War by Henri Jomini was a text that was used by the Americans and influenced future Civil War commanders like Lee (whom was very Napoleonic in respect to tactics) and Stonewall Jackson (also very Napoleonic in almost every way).

So to what extent was Jomini an influence in the tactical upbringing of the commanders of the Civil War?

Apologies if this is slightly off topic for this subreddit, as it's not a question about a specific historical event. But I got to thinking about the well-known quote, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it", and wondered if anyone knew of examples where a government actively sought the services of historians to help prevent this? I'd like to think politicians would appreciate this type of counsel, but sadly suspect many rely more on their own opinions than relevant facts!

Point out any inaccuracies, if you will... The subjects of common knowledge of the time, battle tactics, weapons, customs, political structure, etc...
