Churchill

When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, Winston Churchill, a vehement anti-communist, famously stated "If Hitler invaded Hell, I would at least make a favourable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons," regarding his policy toward Stalin.[186] Soon, British supplies and tanks were flowing to help the Soviet Union



Very interesting.

Merry-go-rounds

Merry-go-rounds, i.e "carousels", owe their origins to Medieval jousting. Jousting was gradually replaced by "carousels", meaning "little battles", where horse riders would play games of skill while riding in a circle. The first pretend carousel was created for children in France in the early 18nth century.
