An afternoon spent reading two long articles about some specific period in history is a great way to convince yourself that you are indeed still gifted, smarter than the fools around you and that you understand things about the world few others can claim. That you see the cyclical nature of human history, the pattern on the other side of the glass, and may be one of the select few capable of inducing great change.
That's why this isn't an article about history. Dope historical photos are cool in a simple way and don't inflate your perception of your own intelligence the way handful of history facts will. So, scroll on and don't annoy anybody today.
