I will admit that I am liable to overstate things in these History posts: calling the Hyksos the inventors of war, hypothesizing that Sweden was a Charles XII compromise away from becoming the secondary European power of the 18th century, and outright stating that November 9, 1989 was the best day of David Hasselhoff’s life.
Here’s another one for you: November 11, 1918—the date of ceasefire in World War I—was the best day of the 20th century.*
