I hate posting the more retarded of the confessions (lol, the world would be so much better if Germany won WWII!) and I just dstopped having fun. I&#8217;m leaving as a member, but since there&#8217;s two other mods, the blog will still be up, so you can still read the past confessions until they leave.</p>http://historicalconfessions.tumblr.com/post/20147224635http://historicalconfessions.tumblr.com/post/20147224635Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:19:01 -0400<p>:D</p>http://historicalconfessions.tumblr.com/post/16541407434http://historicalconfessions.tumblr.com/post/16541407434Thu, 26 Jan 2012 17:24:41 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly68zhj6nq1r3x3foo1_400.png"/><br/><br/><p><div class="post_content" id="post_content_14544395414">I know a lot about the history of France, especially the periods from Louis XIV to Louis XVI, but when people ask me to teach them about the French Revolution I don’t know how to tell them I can’t, because I’m a monarchist and people don’t want to hear my version because they deem it “incorrect”.</div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="avatar_and_i"></div></p>http://historicalconfessions.tumblr.com/post/16253638269http://historicalconfessions.tumblr.com/post/16253638269Sat, 21 Jan 2012 18:23:41 -0500francefrenchFrench RevolutionLouis xivlouis xvihistoryconfession<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly5wb5Bz4d1r3x3foo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><div class="post_content" id="post_content_14431964894">I’ve always wondered what would have happened if Leon Czolgosz had been accepted as an anarchist and had gained friends.
