I find stuff like this so fascinating. It’s so hard to fathom that there is a person alive who was alive when the following was the case…

The First World War hadn’t happened
No one had heard of Adolf Hitler or Lenin
The Titanic hadn’t sunk
Russia had a Tsar and Germany had a Kaiser
The Ottoman Empire still existed
Edward VII was on the throne
