worst

Although this topic has probably been discussed a million times, I would like to hear which dictators from the year 1900 and until today people think is the worst. In this discussion saying Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini or Pol Pot is not allowed, since these will surely be the ones dominating...

Often Braxton Bragg was ridiculed by both his contemporaries and our modern historians as a horrible general with many faults and foolish tendencies. But is he the worst general the Confederacy had? Is there one worse? Is he actually a good general who got a bad rap?

I'd argue that she is. Chamberlain knew that he and Hitler were stalling for time. Heath, Callaghan, and Brown, all had bad economic issues to handle. And Eden misgambled with the Suez crisis, but had to contend with the USA as thee new superpower, and even the USSR allying with Nasser. But...

Of the main (often 3) Axis powers during WW2, which had the worst protection of its industry and resources? I doubt that Germany should be included, but I included it anyways in case there is something new I could learn. Japan was notoriously bad at Anti-Submarine Warfare (through its lack of...

What NATO country during the Cold War was the worst equipped and also had the worst quality of troops overall?

Which militaries of WW2 would be the worst equipped including all sides big and small powers? What are some of the weapons used by Siam, Egypt Bulgaria, Romania or Hungary?

Or least favourite I would mine was finding out my great great grandfather was in jail for robbery

Just like what I did for the romans and the swedes. Pick one victory and one defeat. This one might be a little hard because there's so much history and the Ottomans suffered some truly disastrous defeats. Victories 1. Battle of Mohacs- While it may not be the most impressive victory...

So, what was the worst long term trick played on an enemy. I will put forth the train ride given LENIN by the Germans in 1917. With that one act the Germans cost their enemy millions of lives over the next 40years. What’s yours? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

In the 20th century, many European countries were ruled by fascist regimes. Which one of them (Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Romania, Greece) was the most oppressive?

Fashion: since man first began to make clothing for himself, garments have fascinated him. And HER: we must never forget that many if not most fashion trends have been influenced or set by the ladies! Fashions come into favour, last for a while, go out of style, but seem to return again and...

Gothca!!! Just been reading about the Dole air race and 1904 Olympics St Louis Marathon, and was interested in any other races that went horrifically wrong. I don't think anything can get as farcical as the 1904 Olympics St Louis Marathon or as disastrous as the 1927 Dole Air Race, but I could...

I came across this on some site for 'lost media'. "Brotherhood of War" it ain't. If you dare, then there's a video glitch for 3 mins. 7WCLAcfQ53c * IMDB link

In 1842 Captain Mackenzie of the USS Somers had a midshipman and 2 sailors hanged for mutiny. The midshipman, Philip Spencer, was the son of the Secretary of War, and apparently a brat whose father had prevented him from being dismissed from the Navy. In 1861, Captain Wilkes of the USS San...

Eg https://www.opendemocracy.net/od-russia/tolyas-letters/soldier%E2%80%99s-tale-8-violence-is-no-joke Tyoma asked what we would do if war was declared tomorrow. Do I know what to do? I don't, because I'm a crap soldier. I know who my commander is and can guess who the gunner is, though I'm not...

Hey all, I've been thinking recently about who were the worst ever British Monarchs - worst being most incompetent and most evil/reckless. I have posted a video on my new YouTube channel detailing my top 5. Please check it out and let me know what you think by following the link below...

What is, in your opinion, or was, the worst time and place in history to be alive? I think for me it'd probably be WW2 Eastern Front, or northern Europe in the Dark Ages(probably England in the 7/9th centuries). Also any place that was invaded by the Mongols must have been a terrible place eto...

I see a lot of discussion on who had the best infantry; so who had the worst? some contenders: WWII France; got steamrolled by a German army that should have been about equal. how bout that Maginot line? WWII Italy; the Brits kicked them all over Africa. WWI Austria; how bad were they...
