Byzantine missionaries spread Orthodox Christianity, the religion of the Byzantine Empire, to Russia. The Grand Prince of Kiev converted to this form of Christianity and promised to Christianise the Russians in order to negotiate for the hand of Anna, the sister of the Byzantine emperor Basil II. This was a bold move as never before had a Byzantine princess married to a foreigner. After his baptism he took on the Christian name in honours of his father-in-law. This was the beginning of good relations between the Russians and the Byzantines. Sophia Paleologue, the niece of the last Byzantine emperor, Constantine XI, married Ivan III of Russia in the 1472, after the fall of the Byzantine Empire to the Turks. Ivan III was also known as Ivan the Great for his expansion of Russian borders. In 1510 a Russian monk argued that Russia should be the Third Rome. Constantinople, the Byzantine capital, had been called the Second Rome. Now Russia should become the Third Rome as a Christian Tsardom and the bastion of Christianity in Eastern Europe. The title for the Russian Emperor, "tsar" is actually a corruption of the Latin name "Caesar."
Wegener used the similarity of plant and animal fossils found on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean as evidence to support his theory of continental drift. He argued that these identical fossils could only have been separated by the movement of continents over time.
It has been speculated that the mass extinction of dinosaurs was caused by an asteriod, however there is not enough evidence collected to support this. It is still argued possible though.
Wegener used similarities in fossil evidence and rock formations across different continents, along with past climatic evidence such as glacial deposits in regions where glaciers no longer exist, to support his hypothesis of continental drift. He argued that these geological and climatic similarities could only be explained by the continents once being connected in a single landmass.

It could be argued that the Roman Empire has never fallen because its influence still remains with us even today.
Demosthenes suggested that Philip II of Macedon was amassing power and expanding his territory aggressively, posing a threat to other Greek city-states. He argued that Philip's aim was to conquer and subjugate all of Greece under his rule, using evidence of his military campaigns and alliances with other Greek cities to support his claim.
Bruce Curtis's appeal was rejected by the court, which upheld the original verdict against him. The court found that the evidence presented during the trial was sufficient to support the conviction. Curtis's legal team argued for a re-evaluation of the evidence, but the appeal did not succeed in overturning the decision. As a result, he remains convicted as per the original ruling.
No, of course not, espeically as 'going to war' involved the likelihood of war with Russia. There is plenty of documentary evidence that shows that the German government and, even more, the German General Staff egged Austria on in July 1914. Some have argued that Austria-Hungary was used as a kind of stooge to unleash the war that the German General Staff wanted. Please see the related question below.
