Wojtek was not promoted for his service. He was promoted because when the troops were boarding a plane, they tried to bring wojtek, but they weren’t allowed to because he wasn’t in the military. To get around this, they just promoted him so he would technically be part of the military and he was let on the plane

It was said Wojtek singlehandedly turned the tides of the 2nd Artillery Supply Company. He carried 100lbs (45kg) crates of artillery shells to strategic spots. It normally took four men to carry one crate, but he hucked that shit onto his shoulder like he saw the other men doing and walked his tanky self to the trucks and the other crates.

In the Ottoman Empire, it was customary for a new Sultan to kill all his brothers and half-brothers, to prevent anyone from making a coup-d'etat using them as puppets. One Sultan thought this was inhuman and had his brothers and half-brothers locked in a comfortable building but forbade anyone to speak to them. Good intentions indeed but it lead to these boys growing up to become insane from the lack of social interaction, and other factions would use these insane Sultans as puppets after a coup. Cruel to say, but continuing the practice of killing them would have been the better way for everyone involved.

Duchess Diana von Reventlow-Criminil, who lived on the nearby mini-island Süderoog, found the pilot and brought him home, saving his live. They couldnt understand a word the other one said. But she hid him for two weeks until he went on his way trying to get back to england. The part about the flute is disputed, but the duchess defineatly hid the pilot.

Quakers did focus on solitary confinement in prison (Penn State Prison), but it was well meant, if misguided. The thought was that if in groups prisoners would just gossip, fight, pick on the weak and learn other criminal skills, but if by themselves they would pray, think about their life and mistakes, find themselves, etc.....and thereby be rehabilitated. It was more expensive to have private cells and it was considered a luxury at the time.

In the 1980s, almost 30 years after the end of steam locomotives in the United States, the Union Pacific’s restored steam locomotive 844 was on a test run following an overhaul when an 11 thousand ton freight train ground to a halt on a hill due to an issue with the third diesel locomotive. The Crew of 844 offered to fill in for the third engine, which worried the crew of the freight train, who thought the 1944 locomotive would be too weak. The crew of 844 simply responded “How do you think we did it before diesels?”, and shoved the train over the hill, there’s a video on youtube somewhere of the evening.

I don't know if this is tought in school : In 1914 there was an unauthorized peaceagreement between the soldiers in WW1 for Christmas eve and the christmas days. In the morning of the 27th they first shot a warning shot and then war began again.Some say the enemys had a christmasparty together. My sister wrote a poetry slam about that in 7th grade.

Correct. Virginia law at the time prohibited him from doing so. The earliest he could do it was, well, when he died. Which is exactly what he did.

I must question how better fed Napoleons contemporaries could have been, particularly in relation to difference in social status and wealth. I mean, the Boneparte family were never really "rich" before Napoleons acsention, but they were, none the less, corsican nobility
