Who was the first military force to use teppo (guns) in mass battles during the Sengoku-jidai? @Stefan This question was specifically about when guns were used in Japan (during Sengoku-Jidai). Japan's warlords first saw guns carried by dutch sailors who arrived in Usuki Bay in 1600. |

How many recorded incidents are there of attacks on Australian soil? I can't think of any others, but I am looking forward to seeing what people come up with. |

When was the last cavalry charge? Yep I agree it was minor, but still more recent than your example. The OP doesn't specify a minimum size. |

What is this military patch with the silhouette of a pegasus on it? Thanks Christopher. I have updated to include the 1st AD. I think it is the same patch for both because it was the insignia of the 1st Airborne Corps of which they were both a part. I will update with some more detail on that :) |

When was the last cavalry charge? This is incorrect. Perhaps this was the last use of cav as a separate combat arm, but the last charge was March 1, 1945 when the the 1st Warsaw Cavalry Brigade charged through German lines to return to their Soviet allies. |

Where was the Japanese surrender signed on Okinawa in June 1945? Thanks for the reference. I clarified my false assumption about Yahara by grabbing a copy of his book (see my update). Thanks for your help :) |

Has Britain's 1940 invasion of Iceland been downplayed by historians? I like your answer and you got my +1, but it could probably do without the caps for emphasis. Italics perhaps? |

Where was the Japanese surrender signed on Okinawa in June 1945? Thanks @world-engineer that may be the best answer I am like to get. Unless Colonel Yahara included the details in his book. I will hold out for that for a while ;) |

What are the factors that caused the new world civilizations to be less technologically advanced than the old world? +1. Also might be worth mentioning the north/south east/west axis of the continents and its affect on trade? Grains travelling east/west will work well, north/south not so much. |
