Historical Trivia
Yup. I will be returning to school tomorrow and period two will once more have lessons with the poor lady some unaffectionately refer to as the banshee (not me you understand, I have no grudge, she has never called me 'Flossey').
History becomes bearable only for its little anecdotes, intrigues and down right stupidities. Any one have any favourites... Mine rest currently with how the US won backing from the UN for the Korean War. By all accounts I know, the only country with veto in the security council who would have voted against it was the soviet union... They, apparently, boycotted in a strop the meeting in which they would have vetod the motion. And thus the UN backed the invasion of the country. |
