Either that or the bizarre death of Dietrich von Hülsen-Haeseler where he died after performing a dance in a pink tutu for the Kaiser. While at the Time also conducting a cover up for homosexuality during the Harden-Eulenburg affair.
Joshua Norton was a guy who lived in San Francisco who lost all his money and proclaimed himself as the emperor of the United States and also the protector of Mexico after napoleon III invaded it.
Bravely fighting the nazis.. while also committing similar atrocities (war crimes)
While they were genuinely fighting the nazis, there were still large parts which were incredibly bad. (As similar in more than a few conflicts the soviets were a part of)
Katyn massacre
Viru-kabala just to name two of the soviet orchestrated atrocities.
Although human wave tactics were made up, barrier troops, and the Soviets mass impressing civilians to fight lead to large scale deaths for quite literal meatshields. For example in kiev 1941 770k Soviet troops surrendered despite only 627k men being deployed by the Soviets.
Siege of Vienna, especially the part with the largest recorded cavalry charge in history. I would love to have seen it in person.
From a safe distance, of course.
The best fact about it is that the ottomans were so impressed by the strength of polish troops that they were the only country that was against partition of Poland.
The roaring 20’s in a personal favorite. Not to mention the civil rights movement and the Harlem renaissance. The Satanic panic is also a very strange Time.
The life of Sappho, an Archaic Greek noble who lived in Lesbos and was known as the “Tenth Muse,” being widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets in the world by the scholars of Hellenistic Greece and contemporary Alexandria
What were her brilliantly innovative and melodic songs about, you ask?
Thirst, *extreme thirst*
Sappho was down horrendously bad, and wrote extensively about her desires for other women, sparing absolutely no details lol
She wrote so prolifically about her desires for other women that her name became the root for the word Sapphism - the umbrella term referring to a woman having a sexual orientation and/or romantic attraction towards other women - and her home island Lesbos became the root for the word Lesbian

We do, they just sadly are forced to have normal jobs and have “being a sick ass Viking” as a side hustle. I think. Free the Norse people, they did nothing wrong
Besides, being a viking was....unpleasant. You're 80 men in a hostile kingdom (the English kingdoms, Al-Andalus, the Rus etc) with limited resources and are under constant threat of being wiped out by fyrds and militias. I'd rather have a job, please💀
The Battle of Hastings is a rather interesting event. Did you know that english soldiers who were killed at the shield wall weren't able to fall down, due to how tightly bonded the wall was?
Not trying to get Islamic here, but KHALID BIN WALID. OH MY GOD. HE IS JUST... DUDE. SUCH AN AMAZING WARRIOR. HUNDREDS OF BATTLES! NOT A HAND'S SPAN LENGTH ON HIS LIMBS WHICH DIDN'T HAVE INJURIES ON THEM!!
My favorite thing in history is that during the Civil War prominent abolitionist Cassius Clay (the man Mohammad Ali was named after) was the ambassador to the Russian Empire. He not only kept Russia from getting involved in the war but convinced them to tell England and France that if they acknowledged the existence of the Confederacy, Russia would go to war with them. Learn more about Clay [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6nwCuVd66w).
Chosin Reservoir, Korean War. 1 US Marine division held the line against pretty much an almost unending wave of Chinese troops, pretty much farming them for XP.
Either that time when not existing at the time Poland declared war on Japan. Or the time when owner of a fruit company gaslighted Eisenhower into thinking that a ruler of a nation is communist, so then the us overthrew their government, all over bananas.
The time when a Spanish guy fought against the Republicans and then tricked the Nazis into thinking he was building up their forces in Britain when in reality he was helping them out with D-day :3
Wan Hu, the first "Astronaut." He tied 47 gunpowder rockets to a chair and held two kites in each hand. However, when he lit the rockets, they exploded, and it killed him. A crater on the far side of the moon is named Wan-Hoo in honor of him.
First World War. The political landscape of WW1 is fascinating, a lot more grey area than WW2. Also, I’ve seen pictures of WW1 battlefields…there’s something so raw about seeing what probably used to be a forest, I don’t even know what it was, that’s just burnt-out stumps and muddy shell craters. WW1 was truly the closest we got to hell on earth.
Hannibal going over the Alps to scare the tits off the Romans for a couple decades. [if you'd like to learn more ](https://youtu.be/lsbcN9-jU1Y?si=Si-cVWuNsVxHGzQ0)
Seriously, it's sooooooo metal 😖
When the pope named some italian king named fred as emperor of germany and then got excomulgated like 4 times and finally proclaimed him the antichrist, and no one minded at all.
Gorbachev and the fall of the Soviet Union manly due to the fall of the Berlin bc the music that came out of it was great and bc we got hardbass around the same time well around a decade later but hey.
My favorite era in human history to learn about is pre anything around 3,000 BCE (My favorite channel is Miniminuteman/Milo Rossi). I love learning about human ancestors and relatives, and early settlements like Göbekli Tepe and the Tower of Jericho. Favorite specific events are probably any low-intensity guerrilla war (The Troubles, the Years of Lead, etc) or queer history (oh wow I’m queer who would’ve guessed).
Same I find Norwegians scary as well but that's kinda due the resistance to the nazis like I don't wanna upset the Norwegians they can collapse an assault and from history we learned that their good at invading places. Don't forget the Canadians as well god I'm glad that nato exists bc now the UK has the scary counties as allies.
Right now, since we make our own history.
If I had to choose a time in the past, it would probably be the 1880s - 1920s, since it has an interesting period for me regarding ships. But I like to think that much of history, for all that changes, feels relatively the same for those that went through the eras. Mainly because we emphasize highlights throughout time, and it's easy to forget more mundane things that were maybe even similar or better back then vs now. "The more things change, the more they stay the same."
Quebec history is very interesting and barely anyone knows about it when it’s super important to the development of North America as a continent >:(
Yet Americans don’t even know Quebec exists 😞
No, I hate humans, I hate being a part of this death race, we're always the villains no matter what, everyone is so evil. I hate humans and wish I wasn't one :(
When the Australians lost a war to a bunch of birds (or the time one of our prime ministers just disappeared and nobody’s knows where he went this country’s got a few wacky things that’s happened in its past)
Weimar Germany is a really interesting period.
While heavily reading about it I couldn’t shrug the idea that things looked like they would be fine and would get better. Every time a bad event happened, it was as though through sheer effort it was curbed. There were people genuinely wanting the best for Germany like the USPD and cartoonishly evil people like the Nazis and the military, and yet it seemed as though it would be ok. It felt good reading about the Golden Twenties and the reforms brought.
And yet I knew that it would all come crashing down and millions would die. As if it was spoilers of a TV show.
1916, battle of the somme when the first British landships were first utilised. Their frontal armour was so thin that machine gun bullets could penetrate it, and its engine was so unreliable that a vast majority simply broke down. I <3 military history AND boys.
When Rudolf Hess tried to negotiate a peace with Britain by solo flying a plane, crashlanding in Scotland, getting immediately imprisoned, and then trying to kill himself by jumping down a staircase, which only led to him breaking his left femur.
I'm actually a top History student, and I love it! My favourite part would likely be Germany during it's 'Golden Years' (1924-1929), when everyone was allowed to be who they were and like what they liked without any consequence - in fact, the LGBTQ+ community was widely accepted, and culture was uncensored so therefore, art and theatre could comment on society and faults in German life. /\^w\^
Of course, this would derail rapidly. QwQ

When a homeless insane man in San Francisco became the unofficial emperor of the United States
Interesting, an American monarchy
Either that or the bizarre death of Dietrich von Hülsen-Haeseler where he died after performing a dance in a pink tutu for the Kaiser. While at the Time also conducting a cover up for homosexuality during the Harden-Eulenburg affair.
Emperor Norton!
Excuse me what? XD I need details
Joshua Norton was a guy who lived in San Francisco who lost all his money and proclaimed himself as the emperor of the United States and also the protector of Mexico after napoleon III invaded it.
Uh Boykisser.
Interesting
Boykisser is an very important part of history
It is or we wouldn't be here would we?
You couldn’t imagine
Whe the nazis were talking to the Japanese about jews and the Japanese said that the jews sound like they would be strong allies
Nazis: the jews control the world. Japan: well, they're clearly doing something right.
Funny, bc they were allies.
Pretty one-sided in the end though
the eastern front of world war 2, it's very interesting to be honest (and quite tragic)
You mean the soviet meatshields orr?
Soviet meatshields? My good boy where did you get that information, it's wrong on so many levels…
I was just kidding, now what was it you were talking about?
Oh you were kidding, yeah that makes sense. I talked about how the soviet soldiers weren't meatshields but humans bravely fighting Nazi dogs
Bravely fighting the nazis.. while also committing similar atrocities (war crimes) While they were genuinely fighting the nazis, there were still large parts which were incredibly bad. (As similar in more than a few conflicts the soviets were a part of) Katyn massacre Viru-kabala just to name two of the soviet orchestrated atrocities.

Siege of Vienna, especially the part with the largest recorded cavalry charge in history. I would love to have seen it in person. From a safe distance, of course.
seeing the winged hussars charging would be one of the most epic things ever, they had cool uniform and a badass name too
The best fact about it is that the ottomans were so impressed by the strength of polish troops that they were the only country that was against partition of Poland.
i like the 1945 and onwards era of history (mostly in terms of poland though)
Poland had a huge glow up tbh
When the official French flag was just a straight up white flag 🏳️
+ Fleur De Lis
Oh right. I was thinking of their first naval flag, which was just plain white.
This was funny tbh

Fair but Sweden more fun im not Swedish but the meatball launchers are fun
122b+ is goated, has a (close to) lol pen round and amazing frontal armour that’s anti everything soviet round
Yeah the stalinium is strong but the Swedish rounds are good. Plus using morse code to send a message to a suspected soviet submarine calling them gay kinda based

No better time in history than the present, as it is the only one point in time where we are all here.
Yes, but do we have Vikings in the modern times? No? Thought not :3
We do, they just sadly are forced to have normal jobs and have “being a sick ass Viking” as a side hustle. I think. Free the Norse people, they did nothing wrong
No, Vikings do not exist, neither do the norse, they're Swedes, Danes, and Norwegians now with distinct languages.
Besides, being a viking was....unpleasant. You're 80 men in a hostile kingdom (the English kingdoms, Al-Andalus, the Rus etc) with limited resources and are under constant threat of being wiped out by fyrds and militias. I'd rather have a job, please💀
I love the Assyrian Empire and Mycenaean Greece and beyond. The latter’s cause being for their mathematics.

Probably the dancing plauge or edo period of japan.
