Because the US did not recognize the CSA as a nation. This occurs in many Civil Wars. Sun Yat-Sen decalred himself Emperor of China, he resigned a few years later It was not Sun Yat-Sen, but Yuang Shikai |

When author Maxim Gorki was visiting a Soviet prison camp in 1928 (I might not remember the year right), the authorities had made the prisoners read newspapers before Gorki's visit to make it look like they "rehabilitated" them with newspapers. Of course, all they did was they forced the mostly political prisoners to harsh labour and tortured them. But, that is not the actual story. When Gorki came, the prisoners intentionally read the newspapers upside down. Maxim went and turned a prisoner's newspaper the right way up and showed he knew what was happening. However after this he strongly supported the system in a letter to Stalin. Then to add to this topic, I will tell ways to torture by the Tšeka of Orjol and Kiev. Think twice before clicking the spoiler. I recently read a book about the Russian revolution and it gave examples of different ways Tšeka would torture prisoners in different places. Orjol had the "glove trick". They would put the victim's hands in boiling water until they could peal the skin of. Kiev's horrible "specialty" was attaching a cage full of rats around the victim's body. Then they would heat the cage and the rats would eat their way out through the victim's body. |

There has been three attempts at making a 13th Amendment to the US Constitution. All three officially passed, but only one became the official amendment. The first two failed by technicalities, one by the destruction or capture of the original documents, and the other by the onset of the civil war.
The first attempt was to revoke the citizenship of individuals with Noble titles from foreign nations. The second attempt was to make constitutional the institution of slavery. And the third, and successful one, bans the institution of slavery, quite the opposite from the previous amendment.

The only belligerent support that Honduras gave to the allies in WWII was a bombing of a submarine in 1942

Germany exists only since the end of WorldWar.
The name germany for a country was first introduced 1945. (I am not shure when it became first time official, probable in 1948)

You are not used to use the metric system I assume. Usually you use volume namings every 10³, common are: ccm³ (1 cubic centimeter = 0.001 L), L (liter - the base 10cm * 10cm * 10cm), m³ (cubemeter 1,000 L), megalitre (1000 m³ = 1 mil. L) .... cube kilometre |

During Stalingrad, At least half of Soviet conscripts are given a rifle and the other half ammo, and then they charge at a fortified German line with no support, and the survivors are gunned down by a blocking regiment. Soviet charging into Stalingrad without weapons based on the former phase is absurd as the USSR shifted its production focus into the war by 1942 and there are contradictory accounts of this ever occurred, likely because how Enemy at the Gates or Call of Duty portray it. While there were blockade regiments, none of them (possibly very rarely) were used to gun down deserting soldiers from a failed human wave attack.

The bloodiest battle in the Normandy Landings was Omaha.
