this might sound real lazy and cheap to make a suggestion here but what about the sack of Rome?

The flu pandemic winning out is strangely appropriate considering the current...uh, flu pandemic.

voters thought it was about the history of yogurt.

Oh, Gustavus Adolphus (of Gustav Adolf as he's originally called in Sweden) is second place. That's neat.

"Alright, I just got back from Europe figthing for four years in the deadliest conflict known to man at the moment. Time to put my feet up and- oh you are joking!"

Oh hey, this is topical...

This is going to be depressingly easy to tie to current events.\

"Look for [the Spanish Flu] in midsummer". I better avoid the crowded beaches then...

We are considering reviving a couple of these topics for future polls, especially as Gustavus was a very popular pick, *and* we do have an interest in the Thirty Years' War someday...

Gustavus Adolphus, you shall have your day.... some day.

My Mother will be Delighted by this Result. For myself, I Think it's a little bit Irritating Douglas lost, especially as he's a lot more Obscure here in Europe, and I Enjoy Stories with Heroes who stand up for the Rights of the Oppressed Masses.

I don't know much about this flu, really the only thing I know is that it canceled the 1918 Stanley Cup Final. I'm hoping Fredrick Douglass will appear again soon, hopefully he can gather the kind of support for a series that Bismarck did
