"The problem had hobbled the armed forces in the First World War, which led Congress to appoint a National Screw Thread Commission. Still, it took years, until 1924, before the first national screw thread standard was finally published.

Screws! History!!

12 Angry Men and Westside Story being propaganda against Puerto Ricans just for having the audacity to come to the mainland? Wowwwww

We're about to enter World War 2 and I hate it. Phillipines you truly deserved better😭

Puerto Rico!! Woww woww woww. So many monsters were allowed to run amok and bring so much harm to them. Cornelius Rhoads was evil.

The way the US and Spain played in the Philippines face? How you come in in the middle of a fight for independence, AS A COUNTRY FOUNDED ON INDEPENDENCE, and leave with a colony? The unnecessary horrors that happened in the Philippines after, all because Americans ran out of land during their "manifest destiny." Uglyyyyy

The way I'm just absorbing so many fun facts! I mean terrible facts hahaha
