History class was a fascinating subject that transported you back to the most crucial and interesting moments of humanity - for some of us.
For a lot of us, the subject might’ve been interesting, but the material shown to us lacked for excitement. So here’s some photos and facts from history that your teacher was probably too boring to show you. Sinking ships, armed old ladies, experimental aircraft - it’s all here.
Here's a bunch of cool things you sort of knew happened back in the day, but never got the chance to see.
