Update

Please note that this update has also been added to one of my most popular blog posts about Ivan the Terrible as well. I thought this would be a good post by itself, which is why this post exists.

Update: I have no idea why this post or this blog is so popular/has so many comments, but I'd just like to say that thank you for all the kind comments, but I'm not going to continue this blog. Also, I changed the design of this blog completely to a standard default template provided by Blogger, because apparently the site that I designed looked pretty bad on some browsers and on mobile. This is because I did not know anything about browser compatibility when I made this site. Anyway, although I've been interested in history since high school, I was always a more science/technology gal, so I am currently in university doing a mechatronics engineering undergrad. I'm pretty sure everyone knows how hard engineering is, so naturally, I do not have more time updating this blog. I have been updating my personal one though: http://phantomkirby.blogspot.ca (and I do update this personal blog rather than the one you're on right now). Thank you all who have said kind words about this blog or this particular post. :) You guys have reminded me of why I liked history. I sometimes wonder what would my life be like if I chose history as my major...
