History is a very broad subject. Most of the time, it has to be broken up into several different classifications to make it more manageable. Since this topic is so broad, there is absolutely no way you can cover it all, especially not in great detail. But sometimes those details, the little fun facts are the most interesting things of all. That's why we went ahead and compiled a list of historical facts that your teachers probably failed to mention.

1. Einstein could have been president.

Albert Einstein was offered a presidential seat in Israel. He declined.

2. Fingerprints.


These two men look nearly identical, they had the same name, and they were sent to the same prison. Before imprisonment, they had never met. They are the reason why fingerprints are now used to identify people.

3. The shortest war ever lasted less than an hour.


The Anglo-Zanzibar War lasted only 38 minutes, making it the shortest war in history.

No Nigerian politician alive,dead or yet unborn can do what Einsten did.

This bird is thought to be the largest bird ever to fly. It had a wingspan of roughly 21 feet, and it loomed over our planet approximately six million years ago.

Before alarm clocks were invented, people were hired to shoot peasat workers' windows to wake them up for their shifts.

8. The Guanajuato Mummies probably died horrible deaths.


Guanajuato Mummies are famous for being the most frightening mummies ever found. Their twisted, anguished expressions lead many to believe that they were buried alive.

10. A river under Mexico ocean.

Cenotes are actually deep natural pits, or sinkholes, characteristic of Mexico, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath. It is arguably the most unique formation of this kind, a thin layer of hydrogen sulfate separates the saltwater from the fresh water above it.
