About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
#1 There is too much sympathy for Nazis today. Anything more than zero sympathy is too much sympathy. Because Nazis deserve to die. And American soldiers were reluctant to take Nazi prisoners, because their superior officers wanted to question them and not waste them.
#2 The Reconquista was the name given to the process of reclaiming Spain’s territory from the Muslims, which took place from 711 to 1492. It was a reconquering of their own territory, and Islamic law forbids forced conversion.
#3 The end of the Shogunate in Japan was the result of a revolution to overthrow the isolationist factions of the shogunate and restore imperial rule in Japan. The emperor made an official acknowledgement of his line’s return to power on January 3, 1868.
#4 Topsy the elephant was born in the wild in 1875. She was captured and smuggled into the U. S. She was declared the first elephant born in America. She was sold and moved to Coney Island, where she was abused by her drunken handler. They tried to kill her by hanging, but the president of the ASPCA said no. They went for the triple threat: electrocution, poison, and strangulation.
