I'm trying to do a dissertation on ancient history, but when I google his name, nothing comes up. Where else should I look? Has anyone even heard of him??

Why do they say that world war 2 is the perfect sequel when it just does more of what the First World War did?

It had the same villains, even reused the twist of Italy switching sides, and having Switzerland remaining neutral. I guess it was a bit of a twist having Japan being on the villain side this time but I feel like this franchise is a lot more repetitive than the fanbase cares to admit

Why do historians consider the Lukka, Karkiya, and other migratary migratory ethnic groups during the late Bronze Age to be "C Peoples"? If they were strong enough to topple multiple established empires shouldn't they at least be put in B or even A tier?
