The Most Unbelievable Facts About History

Did you know Napoleon was once attacked by a horde of bunnies?

He had arranged a rabbit hunt for his men, but the gamekeeper mistakenly gathered tame rabbits instead of

wild ones.

When released, the rabbits didn’t run—they charged at Napoleon and his men, thinking they were being fed!

The emperor fled from an army of fluffy invaders.

Cleopatra lived closer in time to the moon landing than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of

Giza.

The pyramids were built around 2560 BCE, while Cleopatra ruled Egypt in the first century BCE.

That means she was about 2,500 years removed from the pyramids but only 2,000 years from astronauts walking

on the moon.

Mind-blowing, right?

In 1518, a bizarre dancing plague struck Strasbourg.

Hundreds of people started dancing uncontrollably for days, some even collapsing from exhaustion or dying.

Doctors believed it was caused by 'hot blood,' so they encouraged more dancing!

Musicians were hired, and a stage was built—only making things worse.

To this day, no one knows exactly what caused it.

The shortest war in history lasted only 38 to 45 minutes!

In 1896, the Anglo-Zanzibar War broke out when the Sultan of Zanzibar refused to step down.

The British bombarded his palace, and within an hour, the war was over.

The Sultan fled, and British forces took control.

Imagine preparing for battle, only for it to end before lunch!
