The World's Weirdest Calendar

Mind-Blowing Monday #1: The World's Weirdest Calendar

Introduced in 1793 during the French Revolution, the French Republican Calendar was a radical attempt to create an entirely new calendar and measure for time.

The calendar was used during the French Revolution, however it was later rejected by Napoleon Bonaparte.

The Anglo-Zanzibar war was one of the shortest wars in history and it lasted betwen 38-45 minutes. It started because the pro British Sultan died but they got over it quickly and ended the war.
