Top 10 most Disastrous mistakes in the History of the World!!!!

10. Caesar not listening to the beggars warning- Beware the Ides of March......Beware them indeed, if he had only listened he might of been saved some serious acupuncture......






9. The mid crusade swim of Freddy Barbarossa-  Another famous death here, this time the death of King Frederick Barbarossa of the Holy Roman Empire(which I have to point out had nothing to do with Rome itself). Frederick decided one season to go on crusade, which was lucky for him because France and England were planning one. "Sure" they said, "but you have the biggest army in the world! We dont have a fleet to transport it." Well Freddy scratched his head and said "Worry not, for I shall walk". Halfway there Freddy decides to have a cool down in a nearby river, but forgot to remove his armor....






8. The Treaty of Versailles- Gee this treaty really did prove that war truly does pay.....I am sure that the economic boom of the early 1920's that Europe enjoyed was in part due to this very harsh treaty. The only people not invited to the party was the German people. The Treaty totally collapsed there economy, which in tern isolated them from the rest of Europe, alienating them from the world. The end result was all this fermented the angry masses, which proved to be the perfect environment for Totalitarianism to breed.








7. Burning of the Library at Alexandria- Could the dark ages be attributed to this event? Unlikely, but I certainly dont think it helped. How many records, discoveries and histories were lost in that fire? what exactly did we lose in that fire? Sadly we will never know......








6. Russia still using the Julian Calender- Russia and Austria decide to jointly attack Napoleon's France in 1805. They decide to march into Germany and join there armies together.....The only problem is that the Austrians are using the Gregorian Calender and the Russians are using the Julian Calender. The day of the battle comes and the Russians are late!!!! They finally arrive only to find there allies beaten. With no time to deploy in any formation they throw themselves in a rash attack and get beaten completely.





5. Hitlers March on Russia- Not the first time that large mystic land has thwarted a large invading Army.....Adolf clearly was not a student of history....




4. The king locks the door to the Third estate- Pre- revolutionary France was a tense place....So the king decides to call the Estates General, which is like a parliament of the three estates that represent France. The first estate being the nobility, The church being the second and the third being the common people. After hearing what he thought was enough from the commoners, the King locked them out of the Estates General.....Mift, at this action, the third estate meets on a tennis court and proclaims a Revolution.






3. Batman and Robin- I know, I know I have had this on my lists before. This movie was just so detrimental to it genre......Spiderman was suppose to be made in 1998. After this piece of shit those plans, as well as any other plans to develop comic book movies, were scraped.






2. Bush ignores intelligence reports- We cant rely blame him.....after all he is illiterate. The big words like  'Threat' were probably to intimidating for the poor guy.






1. Napoleon invades Russia- This is number one because this mistake was made by a single man, and the mistake cost the lives of nearly one million of his own men.....Napoleon, this one was a biggie. He left France with 600 000 men and came back with 25000! And for what? Russia posed no threat at all. France was winning the war......A catastrophic mistake!
