I have a maths degree and now work in software (specifically intelligent document analysis) using javascript. I used to work embedded systems in C and WPF projects in C#. I've written quite a lot in Matlab and R in a Mathematical context and have dabbled with Java and Android development. Consequently I joined for the stack overflow site, but I've found history a lot of fun. I've also recently spent time with out of date GSM Standards.

Which is the oldest language in the World? Hebrew seems to be an examples of a resurrected language. Perhaps this is oldest in the sense that it is largely unchanged. |

Instances of the UN defusing serious crises UNEF was set up after the cease fire. The ceasefire had a lot to do with US diplomatic intervention (including Stirling Bond selling threats and a NATO oil embargo), in part due Soviet threats. I suppose it's hard to disentangle countries actions and their actions through the UN, but I think we have to see the UN role as limited (although it's a perfectly good thing to mention as an answer). |

How quickly could the roman legions march? How does it compare to the mobile cavalry? +1 I was worried you wouldn't mention ox carts. |

What was the origin of the roles of “lieutenant” officers? Hopefully I've answered the question, comment if I haven't. I found it difficult to discern what the main thrust of your enquiry was. |

Has any US President served in a government position with a foreign nation before or after their presidency? He was still in the army so I imagine the US. Counting US control of foreign countries is sketchy, but not hugely more than counting British colonial administration as "foreign". I don't think there are any fantastic examples. |

Did any of the US States ever attempt to secede, aside from American Civil War times? Sometimes these aggregate or concept wikipedia pages slip us by when we're looking too specifically. I'm glad I didn't get burned over my minimal research effort to answer this question, but at least I would have learnt about the new states. @TravisChristian Good point. |

Has any US President served in a government position with a foreign nation before or after their presidency? I think I will answer Eisenhower, but I'm pretty sure there were more. In the US controlled far east for example. Edit: good there's another answer with that in it. |

Has the American Civil War led to any significant innovations in 19th-century warfare? I'm looking up logistics and use of railways and might just edit this a bit, we'll see. |

Has any US President served in a government position with a foreign nation before or after their presidency? I thought to look at whether anyone who had served the Confederate states ended up president. Unsurprisingly, no. Sounds like the eventual answer will be no though, due to the Natural-born-citizen clause making it unlikely. I assume military roles over foreign troops (Eisenhower for example) and US military governance of subdued countries would not count. |
