I'm going to use this thread to compile the links to historical information that show up in other threads. Will mostly be Wikipedia stuff but anything else good that I find or that anybody else posts, I'll add that too. New entries are indicated in color.
There may be a mild spoiler or two here and there, particularly in the biographical entries, but I'll be as careful as possible not to post anything prematurely.
