>mfw someone at work tells me the industrial revolution started

I met a girl that thought Bill Clinton was the first president when I worked as a cashier at a supermarket.

I once had a kid ask me if George Washington was the first white president.

>>1861275
Seems like a reasonable enough question to me.

>>1861275
It's true he was the first white president

What did you tell him?

Are you sure he didn't just mess up and actually meant 1790?

The Wars of the Roses was when Yorkshire and Lancashire fought each other.

>>1862509
I'm sure because he argued with me after I tried to correct him.

>Hitler killed 6 million Jews

>>1861275
Well technically it is true.

He was the first president, and by extent the first white president.
You could be an ass and say "Peyton Randolph", but he wasn't the first president of the United States of America, but the Continental Congress.

Hey man, for a while I though voodoo was of African origin

>>1861251
Which dynasty is Putin from?

>>1864451
But we did win World War 1 and 2. We even got the surrender documents from the enemies to prove it.

Also, the US Civil War was about States Rights, and not the States Right to have legal slavery.

Fellow frenchies might feel my pain:

>the Dreyfus affair occured only because the French were such God-damned antisemites

>>1864481
Are you baiting or are you being serious?

>>1864451
Technically speaking, weren't the Perisans the first to abolish slavery?

Within America itself, Vermont was the first state to abolish although it wasn't recognized as a state at the time.

I know it's b8 but there was a number of times where state's disagreed with national government making laws and it never became anything other than huffing and puffing. Slavery was literally the only issue that could have caused it. Not to mention the supremacy clause is crystal clear in the Constitution and is one of the biggest reasons why it replaced the Articles of Cinfederation. National law trumps state law because if it is the other way around you have a major free rider problem where states try to get other states to pay for national programs like the army. Now fuck off hill billy.

Everything involving sumerians, to be honest. If someone who has no studies related to history (or similar disciplines) starts talking about Sumer, you better be 90% sure he believes in alien/reptilian conspiracies. Even if he doesn't explicitly say it.

>>1864485
I know nothing about the Dreyfus affair. Please elaborate.

>Germans were the only bad guys in both World Wars
Why?

Cause winners write history and germany is quite similar to austria, also to Japan and Italy somehow

>>1865086

Oh, right. Thanks for clarifying that

Who was the most powerful country at the time of the American revolution?

>>1865224
France in terms of military might. A land army 3x the size of Britain. Spain in terms of resources.
