Lincoln with Gen. George McClellan after Antietam. Antietam was the first major Civil War battle to happen on Union soil
McClellan was my favorite Union general of the war. I wish Lincoln had never fired him.
Course that's like me saying Mike Shula was my favorite Bama coach of all time, which he was.

Yeah how people are allowed to throw that around is beyond me. How Jewish people let that shite slide is really disturbing to me.

Been listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History lately and I have a new love for WWI stuff.
French Calvary 1914. Almost the EXACT same thing they wore in Napoleon's Grande Armee
"Paris Gun". The largest gun used in WWI by the Germans. It could shell Paris form 75 miles away
Gavrilo Princip, one of the most influential people in the past 103 years.

German Trenches still visible today.
Shells at the battle of the Somme.

At the battle of the Somme in ww1, the battle was preceded by a WEEK long artillery bombardment. 1,7380,000 shells were fired along a frontage of 25000 yards, or approximately 23km. Artillery was KING in world war 1. 60% of all casualties were caused by artillery.

There have been threads on top of threads with pictures like this. I love the ones with the color photo's from the civil war. Amazing stuff.
Also, people were fricking ugly as shite back then.

had to go look up who that was. I should have known what he did but you don't often hear who actually killed Archduke Ferdinand.
anyways, in reading about the assassination I ran across this hilarious feat by the first guy to attempt the assassination:
quote:
At 10:15, when the six-car procession passed the central police station, nineteen-year-old student Nedeljko Cabrinovic hurled a hand grenade at the Archduke's car. The driver accelerated when he saw the object flying towards him, but the bomb had a 10-second delay and exploded under the wheel of the fourth car. Two of the occupants, Eric von Merizzi and Count Alexander von Boos-Waldeck, were seriously wounded. About a dozen spectators were also hit by bomb shrapnel.[24] After Cabrinovic's bomb missed the car, five other conspirators, including Princip, lost an opportunity to attack because of the heavy crowds and the car's high speed. To avoid capture, Cabrinovic swallowed a cyanide capsule and jumped into the Miljacka river to make sure he died. However, the cyanide pill was expired and only made him sick, and the river was only 10 centimetres (4 in) deep.[25] A few seconds later he was hauled out and detained by police.
