1.Countries of origin
Italy
2.Historical figures and events
Various popes. Existence of certain book characters not verified as real (e.g. Jesus). Primary events were formalizing of (one version of) the bible in 400ce or so (Constantine, council of Nicea), followed by much slaying of heretics and campaigns against Islam oveer the next 1000 years, and later genocidal attacks on american aboriginals..
3.Central Beliefs
You are going to hell
No you aren't
Yes you are
No you aren't
(It's a multiplicity of sects thing)
4.Nature of God
Angry and vengeful sky-god who acts like a psycho ruler ca 3000bce might have. Hmmmm
5.Texts
Inconsistent list - Bible is not canonical as there are many varieties and within those, multiple translations. Most follow the teachings of Jack T Chick.
6.Ritual and practices
From no special practices to constant proselytizing.
7.Ethics and morality
Depending on the sect, these can be quite strong, or utterly pathetic. Much variation from person to person and from sect to sect.

I agree with the first answer. You have quite a long question here that will take quite a while to answer. If you really and truly want to know all of this you will look into it on your own.
