put a historical curiosity here. I will start with an example: the Roman Coliseum was not called Colosseum, it was called Flavian Amphitheater

You want it again? Take it Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Tito, Trotsky were, at one point present at the same time in Vienna. It is speculated that they might had visited the same cafe, though it might not be true. Coming to the cafe said about above, some Austrian official (They had high position and if I am not wrong, one of them was Austrian foreign minister) were discussing about the conditions in Russia, in a cafe. One person said that Russia would surely see a revolution, unless the war stopped (Regarding to WW1, probably a reference to take Lenin from exile to Russia), then the other official jokingly said that "Who would lead the revoluion? Mr. Trotsky ? Sitting over there?", and Trotsky was indeed sitting over there and indeed he would go on to lead the revolution.

there was never a declaration of war on the CSA by the United States which means that the Civil War never existed!

there was never a declaration of war on the CSA by the United States which means that the Civil War never existed! Because the US did not recognize the CSA as a nation. This occurs in many Civil Wars.

The Netherlands army had only one tank that was used only for testing antitank obstacles, when Germany invaded them in WW2.
