Elizabeth I. Ruthless ruler, jealous lover? #shorts #shortsfeed #shortvideo #history Despite being known as the ‘Virgin Queen’, salacious rumour and scandal from the Tudor court imply that Queen Elizabeth I had a long string of lovers throughout her life. Perhaps one of the most scandalous of these lovers was Robert Dudley. The relationship between the queen and her favourite came under scrutiny when Dudley’s wife, Amy, died suddenly in 1560. Found at the bottom of a staircase with a broken neck, rumours swirled as to whether Amy’s death was a tragic accident, suicide, or the result of a murder. What made the mystery more interesting was that all the staff in the Dudley household were out for the day at the local fair, meaning that no one in the home would witness the cause of her fall, or provide first aid. Suspicions turned towards Elizabeth as the mastermind behind the ‘accident’ as she had grown weary of having to share Dudley. Rumours vary from Elizabeth hiring assassins to push Amy Dudley down the stairs, to having her poisoned in the weeks leading up to her death. The truth, however, is lost to time.

RIDICULOUS HISTORY FACTS PART VII #shorts #history In World War II, a group of German soldiers found themselves stranded in rural Russia. They had been trudging through the snow for days without food or water when they stumbled upon a supply drop that had missed its target. To their surprise, they opened it only to find black pepper and condoms. Robert Todd Lincoln, the son of Abraham Lincoln, witnessed three different presidential assassinations. Following the assassination of McKinley, he declined any further invitations. Newspapers of that era circulated stories suggesting that Robert Todd Lincoln had romantic intentions toward Lucy Hale, the daughter of a U.S. senator. It was rumored that he had even met with her father to publicly court her. Ironically, during this time, Lucy Hale was involved with John Wilkes Booth and even brought him as her guest to Abraham Lincoln's second inauguration ceremony. After Lincoln's assassination, Robert Lincoln aggressively threatened legal action against any newspaper or magazine that insinuated he had been romantically involved with Lucy

The 1927 Liberian elections gained notoriety as one of the most rigged elections in history, as declared by Francis Johnson-Morris, a modern-day leader of Liberia's National Elections Commission. It even earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for being the most fraudulent election ever documented. In this election, despite having less than 15,000 registered voters, King received a staggering 243,000 votes, while Faulkner only managed 9,000 votes.

RIDICULOUS HISTORY FACTS PART V #shorts #history Hannibal's defeat of the Romans at Lago Trasimeno. By leaving soldiers to light fires in the hills, he created the illusion that his army was three days' march away, when tens of thousands of men were actually concealed in the hills just above the lake. The Romans were surprised on the shore and trapped between the onslaught and the water. In their armour. Half of the 30,000 Roman troops were either killed in battle or drowned in the lake. 5000 were captured and the other 10,000 staggered back to Rome creating panic that the greatest army in the world had just been handed their ass by a Carthaginian upstart. It was the greatest ambush in military history. Herostratus is the guy who burned down the Temple of Artemis. The only reason he did it was to have his name written down in history. The shortest war occurred between Zanzibar and the British empire, lasting around 45 minutes.

US presidents Who Faced S** Scandals Before, During, or After Their Time in Office Part VIII #ai Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe is probably the most talked-about of all of Kennedy’s possible affairs. She was named as one of Kennedy's mistresses by investigative reporter Seymour Hersh in his book “The Dark Side of Camelot.” Having met at a dinner party held in his honor in New York at the beginning of 1962, Kennedy invited Monroe to a weekend in Bing Crosby's house in Palm Springs the following month, where they were not joined by his wife Jackie. Actress Angie Dickinson also has crooner Frank Sinatra to blame for introducing her to John F. Kennedy. Having met at a party given by Kennedy’s sister Pat in Santa Monica before the 1960 Democratic convention, Dickinson went on to join the presidential campaign. Gunilla Von Post Swedish socialite Gunilla Von Post claimed to have had a six-year affair with President John F. Kennedy beginning in 1953. She made these claims in her memoir “Love, Jack.” The young Swede first met with 36-year-old JFK when she was 21 and they were both visiting the French Riviera.

RIDICULOUS HISTORY FACTS PART IV #shorts #history Pythagoras allegedly caused the drowning of a student who had demonstrated the existence of irrational numbers, which contradicted the beliefs of Pythagoras and his group, known as the Brotherhood. The first British bomb dropped on Berlin during World War II resulted in no human casualties but did claim the life of an elephant. Originally, ancient Greek and Roman marble statues were painted in vibrant colors. Over time, much of this paint has faded or been mistakenly removed by those cleaning the statues, some of whom preferred the appearance of plain white marble. In reality, Rome was a colorful city, not just a city of white marble. The demise of Cato involved him taking his own life by methodically removing his internal organs one by one. After he lost consciousness, Roman doctors sewed his wound shut, but for a brief moment, he regained consciousness and repeated the act of tearing out his organs.

However, when he eventually found out, he subtly tried to inform Stalin that they were working on something significant. Stalin responded with, "Yeah, dude, I knew before you did," since he had numerous spies in America. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both passed away on the same day, July 4th, 1826, which marked the 50th anniversary of their signing of the Declaration of Independence. Adams's final words were, "Thomas Jefferson survives," though he was mistaken by about 5 hours

US presidents Who Faced S** Scandals Before, During, or After Their Time in Office Part VII #ai Blaze Starr The celebrated stripper told People magazine in 1989 that she had a brief affair with Kennedy before he became President which she’d hoped to continue once he was elected. The famed burlesque dancer is said to have been disappointed when the Cuban Missile Crisis got in the way of her dalliance with the President in the Lincoln Room. The pair first met in 1954 when JFK, then a Congressman, would visit her Maryland strip club, Crossroads. In an interview in 1989, Starr described Kennedy as “very quick and very wild,” adding “he knew exactly what he was doing with girls, so it didn’t take him long. No, that bad back didn’t faze him.” Marlene Dietrich Marlene Dietrich's daughter Maria Riva claimed that her mother not only had an affair with Kennedy family patriarch Joe Kennedy, but also with his son Jack in the White House. The German actress is said to have accepted an invitation to drinks with the President in September 1963 while she was in D.C performing a one-woman show. Then 60 years old, she is said to have claimed that Kennedy made a “clumsy pass” at her before remarking that they didn’t have much time before her show began in 30 minutes. Dietrich is reported to have told her friend Gore Vidal that the encounter lasted 20 minutes before she was forced to wake Kennedy up to show her the way out of the White House. Kennedy’s main concern after the extramarital rendezvous? Whether Dietrich had also slept with his father, about which she is believed to have lied.

US presidents Who Faced S** Scandals Before, During, or After Their Time in Office Part VI #ai Cleveland, the only president to serve two, non-consecutive terms in the Oval Office, was faced with quite a report during his first campaign for the White House. The Buffalo Evening Telegraph broke a story that Cleveland, 10 years prior to his presidential bid, had a child with a woman named Maria Halpin. Halpin was then sent to a psychiatric asylum while the child was adopted by another family. Harding, the nation's 29th president, was long believed to have fathered a child out of his marriage. Harding was said to have done so with Nan Britton, whom he had an affair with while in office. Harding died in office before his first term was up, but a recent DNA test found that he did indeed father a child with Britton. It was rumored at the time of his death in 1923 that Harding's wife, Florence, had poisoned him. In October 2016, Rolling Stone and NPR reported Donald Trump fondled Cassandra Searles, Miss Washington USA of 2013, without her consent during the Miss USA pageant of that year.

RIDICULOUS HISTORY FACTS #shorts #history Potatoes were not very popular as a food in France. Like they were seen as fit only for animals. Not only that but they were considered generally not digestible by humans. So a pharmacist named Parmentier knew they were good food and wanted to popularize them among the working class. So he got a 2 acre farm to grow potatoes and placed armed guards around it at all times. People assumed armed guards meant something very valuable was growing there so they began to steal the potatoes. That's how potatoes became popular in france's working class. General Omar Bradley was stopped by MP during the Battle of the Bulge in World War 2 due to them thinking he was a Nazi infiltrator. The irony was that he was stopped because he correctly identified the capital of Illinois as Springfield when the officer thought it was Chicago.

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT WWII #shorts #history 3. WWII had bizarre weapons, such as the German cannon that could shoot across the sea WWII is known as a conflict with some very unique weaponry. However, one of the most ambitious projects was the V-3 cannon, a gigantic machine that could hurl projectiles from Germany across the sea into England. Instead of using rockets like the V-2, the V-3 would be a stationary cannon that could shoot projectiles at distances of up to 100 miles across the sea from mainland Europe into the United Kingdom. Luckily, the cannon was never completed due to bombing runs destroying it before completion. 4. Poland had a bear that served in the military In 1942, a company of Polish troops was evacuated from the Soviet Union and found their way to Iran. Along the way, they befriended a Syrian brown bear that they named Wojtek. They officially enlisted him as a private in the unit. The men ended up in Italy from 1943-4, bringing the bear along with them. It helped to carry heavy ammunition and quickly became a celebrity among the troops. Wojtek was eventually discharged after the war and lived peacefully in Edinburgh Zoo until he passed away in 1963.

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT WWII #shorts #history 1. The last Japanese soldier finally surrendered in 1974 It’s not unusual for soldiers to continue fighting for a cause once their nation has surrendered. This is just the reality of what it’s like to fight a conflict across multiple continents and countries. But when the last fighting soldier surrenders almost thirty years after the conflict ends, there’s something awfully strange about the whole situation. This is what happened to Teruo Nakamura, an indigenous Taiwanese soldier that joined the Japanese military at the beginning of the war. He assumed the war was still raging on while his unit fled into a jungle in Indonesia. He survived on his own, foraging for whatever food he could until he was finally found in December 1974. 2. An astonishing number of soldiers died during pilot training WWII was one of the first major conflicts to make use of aviation. There was a massive rush to train new pilots so many of the aviation programs weren’t thought out correctly or had enough safety measures in place. As a result, over 15,000 deaths occurred during pilot training. These were mostly due to pilot error or mechanical failure. It was such a problem that the B-24 bomber was known as the most dangerous plane in the war, receiving the nickname ‘the flying coffin’. To put this into perspective, around 52,000 American flight crew members died in WWII, meaning almost 30% of pilot deaths occurred outside of conflict.

US presidents Who Faced S** Scandals Before, During, or After Their Time in Office Part VI #shorts #history "If I don’t have a lay for three days I get a headache." So said the 35th President of the United States, as recalled by British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. Although he carefully cultivated the image of the devoted family man, John F. Kennedy was possibly the most prolific philanderer ever to grace the Oval Office. Dane “Inga Binga” was a long-term girlfriend of JFK whilst he worked in the navy, and was rumoured to be a Soviet spy. Their break-up was driven by Kennedy’s father, who feared the terminal effects this relationship could have on his son’s future political career. The star of La Dolce Vita and global sex symbol Anita Ekberg was briefly connected with the President. A running theme of JFK’s affairs was his dalliances with movie stars. One of the more illustrious was Gene Tierney, who Kennedy had an affair with around 1948, when she was still married. Whilst an intern at the White House, 19-year-old Mimi Alford lost her virginity to the President and engaged in an 18-month affair. A few years ago she revealed the details of their relationship, including that JFK took recreational drugs with her.

The Five Cities Doomed to Nuclear Annihilation #ai #generativeart #machinelearning #art Two nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in a span of three days to end World War 2. The first drop occurred on August 6, 1945, with a bomb named "little boy" and an aircraft named "Enola gay" named after the pilot's mother, with a b-29 bomber. The bomb dropped on Nagasaki, however, was named "Fatman" with a similar b-29 bomber. 80,000 persons were killed by the first bomb as a result of the blast, heat, and radiation exposure. Many more people experienced long-term health consequences. Similar to Nagasaki, 70000 people died in bombs there. The steep topography near Nagasaki constrained the scope of the damage compared to Hiroshima. There were five Japanese cities on the US’s initial hit list and Nagasaki was not one of them. The list included Kokura, Hiroshima, Yokohama, Niigata and Kyoto. It’s said that Kyoto was ultimately spared because US Secretary of War Henry Stimson was fond of the ancient Japanese capital, having spent his honeymoon there decades earlier. Nagasaki took its place instead.

Events Unfolded After Assassination of President Kennedy Brought to Life With AI #ai #generativeart Shoe store manager Johnny Brewer testified that he saw Oswald "ducking into" the entrance alcove of his store. Suspicious of this activity, Brewer watched Oswald continue up the street and slip without paying into the nearby Texas Theatre, where the film War Is Hell was playing. He alerted the theater's ticket clerk, who telephoned police at about 1:40 p.m. As police arrived, the house lights were brought up and Brewer pointed out Oswald sitting near the rear of the theater. Police Officer Nick McDonald testified that he was the first to reach Oswald and that Oswald seemed ready to surrender saying, "Well, it is all over now." McDonald said that Oswald pulled out a pistol tucked into the front of his pants, then pointed the pistol at him, and pulled the trigger. McDonald stated that the pistol did not fire because the pistol's hammer came down on the webbing between the thumb and index finger of his hand as he grabbed for the pistol. McDonald also said that Oswald struck him, but that he struck back and Oswald was disarmed. As he was led from the theater, Oswald shouted he was a victim of police brutality.

The Teddy Bear Tale: How a Hunt with Teddy Roosevelt Inspired an Iconic Toy #ai #generativeart The name 'teddy bear' comes from ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, who was nicknamed 'Teddy' (even though he didn't like it). It all started on a hunting trip in Mississippi back in November 1902 when Roosevelt was invited by Governor Andrew H. Longino. They were hunting bears, and after a long chase, his crew managed to corner, club, and tie up a black bear. They called Roosevelt over and suggested he shoot it, but he thought that would be unsportsmanlike. Instead, he told them to put the poor bear out of its misery. This whole incident became the subject of a political cartoon in The Washington Post on November 16, 1902. Now, here's where it gets interesting. A guy named Morris Michtom saw that cartoon and got the idea to create a small, soft bear cub. He put it in his candy shop window with a sign that said 'Teddy's bear,' and people loved it. That's how the teddy bear craze began, and Michtom even started the Ideal Novelty and Toy Co. thanks to its success

Assassination of President William McKinley Events Brought to Life With AI #ai #generativeart On August 31, 1901, Czolgosz traveled to Buffalo, New York, the site of the Pan-American Exposition, where President McKinley would be speaking. He rented a room in Nowak's Hotel at 1078 Broadway. On September 6, Czolgosz went to the exposition armed with a concealed .32-caliber Iver Johnson "Safety Automatic" revolver he had purchased four days earlier. He approached McKinley, who had been standing in a receiving line inside the Temple of Music, greeting the public for ten minutes. At 4:07 p.m., Czolgosz reached the front of the line. While McKinley extended his hand, Czolgosz slapped it aside and shot the President twice in the abdomen at point-blank range: the first bullet ricocheted off a coat button and lodged in McKinley's jacket; the other seriously wounded him in the stomach. McKinley's stomach wound was not lethal, but he died eight days later on September 14, 1901, of an infection that had spread from the wound. Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Czolgosz
