Most badass historical person?
Who do you think is the coolest historical person. Someone who pulled off so much largely by force of will and badassery?

My vote goes to Joan of Arc. This chick...sorry SAINT. Pulled off so much as a woman during a time when woman were really treated only as baby makers.

She rallies the French army during the Hundred Years War after France is getting its ♥♥♥♥ kicked in and leads them to several victories against England and Burgandy, she becomes a defacto commander of French forces, she gets critically wounded several times and just keeps going (she took an arrow to the chest and was just like "♥♥♥♥ it"), and she helped the King of France claim his thrown. All while being basically a peasant and a woman. Breaking a good chunk of medieval tradition.

And it doesn't end there. After she died, she became a saint. A straight up saint. That's pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome imo.

Runner up, Castro. Dude survives like 700 assassination attempts by the U.S. After the first 100, I'd have given up tbh. And he goes out on his own terms. He led a small band of like 20 guys against the corrupt Batista regime. No matter your thoughts on Cuba's goverment, the Batista regime was WAYYY worse. So this dude straight up liberates the country with his merryband of communist guerillas. I think there was one battle where Castro's forces numbered in the 20s or so and Batista's numbered in the 100s and Castro won. That's pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ badass, and Batista was supported by the U.S.


Who does your vote go to?

Can Trump be considered a historical person yet?

King Richard was an interesting case, but I don't know enough about him than I feel I should. Except for the possibility that he was homosexual lol

No, he wasnt :P

He died in a arrogant but cool way, he was seiging a castle and a gaurd on the wall was armoured only with a pan and a small crossbow. He saw that and hailed the man for his bravery, but the man shot him, he died afterwards to an infection.

No this isnt my last game of pubg

You know we should probably add Alexander the Great as well. I mean the dudes namesake has "great" in it. Takes some effort to pull that off XD

Yea, whenever I watch historical shows there is always some point where the guy says, and after
or before they were conqured by Alexander the great. The dude was practically King of the world at one point.

Did you know that she actually very rarely fought in battle? I read up on her for a report and she was more of a figure head for the rebelion than an actual leader. Although she did command troops and rise to amazing heights fir a woman of that time period. She is amazing tho good choice.

Funniest:
This emperor of rome (forgot name) was so paranoid of being assassinated that he drank small amounts of poison his whole life to become immune. He was then captured and tried to kill himself ,but couldnt because the poison his general gave him was the same he had built an immunity too xD lol

Bad a-word:
Israel hands down.
First day they become a country every muslim attacks them and they beat them all lol. One thing my world history teacher said was every time Israel is attacked they get bigger
