This really doesn't seem like a question for a historian. You can keep, it sell it, really anything you want.

The Qing were also known as the Manchu dynasty, because they were led by Manchu.

I don't have any book recommendations, but I noticed u/spinnybingle's comprehensive posts of Korean history have been gaining a lot of traction on this sub. I would try looking at them. Hope that helped!

This is quite interesting; however, do we know if this was standard at this area during this time? I would like to see some other accounts from nearby peoples to compare and contrast.

Why didn’t the people get mad or revolt when the economy was in shambles and the aristocrats didn’t do anything? I would expect something like the French Revolution or the Yellow Turban Rebellion. This question is coming from the first part of Section 12.

It wasn’t. It might’ve been good, sure, but nobody said it was the greatest.

Because Hitler was the leader. People always see him first as the man who gave them instructions. The others called out his command.

The highest officials would have huge powdered wigs, and servants would follow behind them to carry it above the ground. It would be normal for common people to wear shorter wigs, and even children would wear them.

Before the war, they were considered necessary in an army. But from the development of artillery and machine guns, it was quickly realized that they maybe shouldn't, and were replaced by tanks at the same time. Horses during WWI were used mainly for reconnaissance and sending messengers, as well as pulling artillery, ambulances and supply wagons. The benefit of them was that they could travel better over muddy or rough terrain. WWI was kind of the turning point at which they stopped being in use, though they were used a bit in the beginning.

You could try going to the National Personnel Records Center and Military Personnel Records in St. Louis, Missouri. The National Archives also has and Access to Archival Databases resource that you can search through.

How is this a question?

Nope. Kublai Khan chose 元, meaning something like "beginning". The currency is called 圆, which means "circle", or "round". Yuan wasn't always the name of the currency, but was more of a unit.
Here's a Quora thread with some better explanations:

It seems to me that fire arrows aren't very helpful, as you can't just take a regular arrow and light it on fire. You have to add things on there, usually a cage-like tip, to have any flames. This decreases range, accuracy, and rate of fire. I think your analysis is correct, just adding on.

It may have just been where you grew up, as I've never heard of it, nor can I find it. Can you perhaps link me to some sources about this rumor?

Looking into some Neanderthal culture, it is debated over how much culture they had. Art and other things from them were scarce compared to our cave paintings and jewelry. Some believed they lacked the mental ability to make these and that they copied humans, though the scarcity may have had other factors.
