Why were/are facial and body tattoos so popular and common among many tribal cultures all over the world? And why did tattooing fall out of favor with many cultures, such as the Western European ones?

Why did Northern Ireland stay with the UK, while the rest of Ireland became independent? What made the people of N. Ireland be so much more supportive of the UK? Did N. Ireland have more British immigrants in it and that's why? If so, how did it come to that?

Why didn't Wales develop a strong national identity and form a strong resistance to British rule as the Irish did? Why did Scotland not form a strong resistance to British rule, despite a strong national identity?

The game World of Warships has warships from WW1 to WW2 from all the major participants (except Italy, for now) and each nation has a sort of common theme running with theme. Does this have any historical basis or is it just for gameplay sake? I noticed the same in the game Navyfield, too.

Why did the light cruiser Königsberg have 2 guns in the back and 1 gun forward? Isn't that kind of bad since you expect most ship combat to be forward instead of backwards (except if you retreat ofc)?

Why was the Polish destroyer Błyskawica considered to be one of the most heavily armed and fastest destroyers of WW2? And how did the small, nearly insignificant Polish navy with barely any ship design experience, accomplish this?

Was the "Kingdom of Burgundy" a real thing? Was it something that existed as more than just an empty, decorative title? Like a real, at least somewhat sovereign political entity? Furthermore, did the later, powerful "Duchy of Burgundy" ever aspire to become a kingdom? If so, why didn't it work out?

Before gunpowder weapons became commonplace, how did galleys and more importantly sail ships fight?
