"During 1774 Frederick the Great of Prussia had a free potato policy to help the people through the famine. A lot of people initially rejected the potatoes and so he had guards feign patrol of the potato fields so they looked more valuable and people would steal them in the night. Even though they were totally free."

Simo Haya did not kill 500+ Soviets with iron sights because he was an expert marksman and 200+ with a machine pistol because he was absolutley bad@$$ in 100 days for someone to claim he took "random shots". F@#k whoever wrote that.

#5 the 80 year war wás in the netherlands. The spanish had conquered Holland during this war and although there was a long period without fighting they were formally still at war. Your story discribes the first big win of the Dutch to kick out the spanish in the city of Brielle (near Rotterdam) . From there the battle spread to the North by flooding al the land and use boats and in winter probably skates to free each city they passed but that still took a few years to get the Spanish out completly.
