Can you imagine seeing everything from Lincoln's assassination to the rise of industrialization to both World Wars and the Great Depression in-between and then the very dawn of the atomic age and the earliest parts of the space race? You would have been born in a time when nobility and monarchy were still things and the military still did cavalry charges and people owned slaves and most people were agricultural and by the time you died you'd have bombs capable of erasing entire cities from the map while there's electricity and cars everywhere and people are just starting to think of flying to the moon. It gets better, though. Two of the people that were involved in the assassination of Franz Ferdinand at the start of World War I both lived until nearly the end of the Cold War. One lived until 1990. 1896 - 1980: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cvjetko_Popovi%C4%87 1897 - 1990: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaso_%C4%8Cubrilovi%C4%87 Can you imagine how much change these two lived through? They would have even seen the early internet!

Constantinople fell in 1453 and Columbus made his first voyage in 1492, so there are definitely people at the time that would have seen both the final collapse of the Roman Empire and the "discovery" of the New World.

The sheer amount of incompetence displayed by most leaders during World War I is incredible

It makes you wonder what they fought about, and if it was really worth dying over, considering that thousands of years later nobody has any idea why they did it

Ever wondered what Calvin Coolidge sounded like? This is the first recording (with video) of an American president: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5puwTrLRhmw Also literally everyone and everything involved with this video is long dead

How the gently caress do you determine if a historical figure is gay or not

OK here is where my confusion lies: I keep thinking that metalhead-looking guy is Christopher Lee wearing a wig, because they have very similar faces
