all those exposed cables & wires would drive me insane.
Just want to chime in and agree that Weather Underground is the best
Also, I just taught about the Zimmerman Telegram and the entry to WWI. Which always reminds me that the German Empire was low key dumb as shit. Arthur Zimmerman hopefully committed harai karai for this stupidity.
I'm teaching All Quiet right now. WW1 Western Front, hands down the worst place to be stuck in in all of history, I think.
you mean like white people history or something?

i mean, slavery sounded kinda shitty
Fair point, slave ship in the middle passage would definitely be in contention.
There was a global famine sometime in the 6th? 5th? Century from a couple volcanic eruptions that sounds pretty shitty to me.
Black plague era?

hard to say i guess; a surprising number of POC fought for the allies on the western front. But yeah, I think enduring the western front especially in the late '16 through mid '17 stretch is probably one of the worst places to be in history. Depth of stagnation, Old Guard military leadership still relying on heavy bombardment plus frontal assaults. Dwindling supplies, especially for the Germans. Living in permanently wet mud amongst the bodies of your friends.
The Roman soldiers stuck the cordon during the long afternoon of its destruction at the hands of Hannibal at Cannae might be up there. Just standing around in the middle of a pack of sweaty men, waiting to get slaughtered.
sadly, hannibal appears to not have brought the elephants to cannae
