Surprising historical facts

[Jehan]

Which historicals facts surprising you the most?




* The high number of friendly fires during wars.

According to the most comprehensive survey of casualties (both fatal and nonfatal), 21 percent of the casualties in World War II were attributable to friendly fire, 39 percent of the casualties in Vietnam, and 52 percent of the casualties in the first Gulf War. Thus far in the ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, casualty rates are 41 percent and 13 percent, respectively

* That there are many gramatical errors in the US constitution.

In 1960 South Korea was at the same level of economic development that african countries. Pretty unbelivable when you take a look at the country now.
