Why didn't America keep Cuba? In 1848 a US president offered Spain $100 million for it. In 1898 America won it in a war, then handed it back in 1902, keeping Guantanamo and the right to send in troops. Sixty years later, Castro took over 90 miles from Florida. Wrong choice, or did America never really let go? #history #historyfacts #StickmanTimeMachine #cuba #americanhistory

Why are the English only about 40% Anglo-Saxon? Here's the part most people don't know. A 2022 study of 278 early medieval graves found that a real mass migration crossed the North Sea after the Romans left. Yet modern English people carry only about 40% of that ancestry on average. The rest comes from people who were here long before, plus later arrivals that probably came from France or Belgium. And in 2015, scientists found no Anglo-Saxon trace in the Welsh DNA they studied. The Romans, Vikings and Normans all ruled, but left surprisingly little behind. So what do you think: are the English really Anglo-Saxons, or Britons who simply changed their language? #history #historyfacts #StickmanTimeMachine #britishhistory #anglosaxons
