Historic Hindsight

This week, WWII begins...and we get sidetracked by the war on drugs.

Remember when Indiana went bankrupt digging a ditch?

Pompeii is destroyed...and France learns the hard way that the age of knights in shining armor is coming to an end.

How railroads won the Civil War...or lost it, depending on your side.

*The popping issue has been fixed - sorry about that!* This week there are a ton of hangings for some reason...some forced, some accidental...but at the end of the day, people will hang.

During WWII England will kill pets...to keep them safe from the Germans.  A forgotten genocide during the opening years of the war.

America doubles down with its second atomic bomb...

The most decisive battle of the war of 1812...that happened after the war was over...

Columbus sets sail, William Wallace is captured, and America drops the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima...so all in all...pretty crappy week.

Now, I'm not saying Woodrow Wilson is Hitler...but...he is kind of Hitler.
