#[.txt]#[.reading]#once again from the 1745-46 years of the italian front in the austrian war of succession #the wording of the page is frustratingly unclear as to who the generals in charge are and I can't find information on any of them :/#shaking Carlo Botta can you PLEASE tell me more!!#cannibalism #history #18th century #the source is from 1833!! I cannot fathom just how cool that is. The History Book I'm reading was published about 190 years ago!#And it speaks of events that happened ninety years before! learing history by people in history learning of even older history. Insaneee
