[pictured: Ronald Reagan wearing a black suit and tie with a white shirt. His body is nearly turned sideways, chin lifted and grinning at the camera, resting his weight on his right elbow with his left hand clasped loosely over his resting right wrist. Italicized text upon this propaganda poster reads: “RONALD REAGAN speaks out against SOCIALIZED MEDICINE”]

any other examples like this?
Wrestling moderator had to legalise bankrupt shady business practices of his, American rule of law now under scrutiny
Castillian second-row aristocracy ran out of land to conquer, wiped out half a double-continent.
Pirates sack ship with proposal about measurement units, spaceship crashes hundreds of years later.
Some Englishman invents a machine, climate dies.
Patent bureau clerk discovers science to overkill humanity, build cameras/solar cells and dictates speed of light as speed limit to everyone
Army command sends rebellious guy to enemy state in a train package, link aggregator gets build.
I'll give it a try.
I have to pass on this one. Trump has dabbled in wrestling but not as a moderator? Other shady wrestling personalities have dabbled in politics, but not with much effect?
This is about the conquistadores, the Spanish and Portuguese fighters who devastated South America. The "spanish" had spent centuries (re-)conquering the Iberian Peninsula. Aristocrats are warlords. If they don't inherit wealth, they have to earn it through fighting in war.
At least 1 space probe has crashed because of failures to convert between metric and some regionally used unit. Metric was, as everyone knows, invented during and by the French Revolution.
I had to look up the pirate thing. Snopes rates it as false: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/metric-system-pirates/
James Watt, inventor of the steam engine. That, more or less, kicked off the age of fossil fuels.
Albert Einstein. He made physicists understand that there was a lot of boom in nuclear reactions with his famous E=mc^2. He also explained the photoelectric effect. But I think the speed limit thing is Emmy Noether, an absolutely badass woman.
Lenin. He was in exile in Switzerland. During WW1, when things were revolutionary but Russia was still fighting Germany, the german army let him travel through their territory in a sealed wagon to Russia, so that he would knock Russia out of the war.
I think I know some of these, but can we get an answer sheet?
Wait what's the last one about?
Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov
... god dammit, I hate how real this one is.
