Another Take on History For April Fool's Day

Yes, I know that I already published a link to one of these (the first one) somewhere on this site previously, and not all that long ago. But there are apparently more of them now, and so I thought it would be appropriate, in the spirit of April Fool's Day, to keep things lighthearted, and show a sense of humor, even about topics that most people would never joke about.

So, here is the link to what events from before World War I to immediately after World War II would look like if it had been a news feed on Facebook:

And here is one in a similar manner, only if World War II was an RTS:

This was a pretty good one that I did not get to see all of yet: the entire history of the world done in similar fashion:

And finally, a lighthearted link to real history: historical facts that seem, at least on the surface, just too bizarre to be real. Only, they are real! Pretty interesting stuff, and here's the link below:
