Or in other words, was there process to actually track the dead in places that had been bombarded by artillery?
Given the silky and satin materials typical lingerie is made of, I have always assumed that it was a more "modern" invention, but then again, I assume there has always been some kind of desire for something like it throughout all of history, even if the desire was not as well pronounced.
I've stumbled on that random tidbit a few times, but it always seemed to be a bit...not quite right? I would understand not every soldier wanting to fire, especially soldiers that had pretty low moral, but I would figure the rate would have to be at least around 50% or so, but at the same time, given the average person typically does, in fact, NOT want to shoot someone else, I could also see being wrong.
Horsepower is the standard for gauging engine power nowadays, but the term has always slightly felt a bit archaic, especially for modern engines. I don't know why I need to know that ~250 horses would be the equivalent of one engine nowadays, yet that is the standards, so I was wondering why "Horsepower" was the term chosen in the end.
When I think of noteworthy archipelagos on Earth, three come to mind. The Caribbean, The Philippines, and Indonesia. While the piracy in the Caribbean is pretty well known, was piracy also an issue in the other two major archipelagos, as I can see any archipelago being a haven for pirates.
Eggs, Pancakes, Omelets, Cereal, Toast, Hash-browns, Ect. All of those are considered staples for breakfast, but it's considered a bit odd to eat them later in the day. I was wondering how that started.
Once someone is appointed to the supreme court, there is nothing, really, preventing them from making any kind of decision from then onward, so I was wondering if some justices decided to take advantage of that fact or not.
So, in the last few months leading up to his death, Caesar was granted so much additional powers that he may as well have been a king in all but name, but what I am wondering is if Caesar, as a person, was content with not going that last step, or if he really wanted to go full-on imperial like what would eventually happen to Rome.
Methane is, rather infamously, both explosive and is often found in pockets underground. Those same pockets that end up being mined into...so how did those miners try to avoid the obvious issues with methane, or...were there a lot of unfortunate accidents?
The vikings of Scandinavia are famous/infamous for a lot of things but at the same time, much of what they are famous/infamous for happen to be more myth then anything, so I was wondering about one of there legacies, the infamous Blood Eagle.
During WW1, the Germans released numerous nations, such as Poland and the Baltics, from the new Soviet State after they surrendered, but eventually the Germans, themselves, would lose the war, so I was wondering why they would still keep the decision the German's made about Russia in place, even if Russia was, formerly, there ally.
If I were to take a guess, I am going to assume either Russia surrendering or the rise of the Soviets had something to do with it, but yeah.
With the chaos of battle throwing mud and debris everywhere, I could easily see a situation where soldiers mistake some other mud-drenched soldiers for enemies and open fire on them, but I was wondering just how common that might be.
The 1912 Presidential Election is famous for a few things, but one of the most noteworthy things was it was one of the most successful showings from a third party in any presidential election up to that, however, many people would argue that because Teddy's third party was so successful, it split the republican vote, thus letting Wilson win in the end.
What I'm wondering is did Teddy know this might happen, and did he have any campaign plans to try and avoid a vote split?
New Hampshire has 400 members in it's state House of Representatives. This is despite the fact that the state is rather small, in comparison to other states. How did it reach such a high number of representatives?
I know that although it was rare, occasionally enemy vessels were captured after naval engagements, and I was wondering what, exactly, happens to them? Are they sailed back home, stripped of parts and sunk, or just left floating in the ocean?
Whenever I see any, like, depiction of an old office, all the desk lamps have the same look, that being rectangular with a green glass cover. I am wondering why that particular design become the "default" design.
