Context: in 1795 the French Revolutionary Army was invading liberating the Netherlands, during the War of the First Coalition. Now, the Dutch had a sizeable naval force sitting at Den Helder waiting to attack the French. Only one small problem: the sea they were anchored in had frozen during the harsh winter. So when the French army came across the ships, they simply had a hussar regiment charge their horses over the ice, go to each individual ship, and made them surrender. It's one of the very few times in history where a cavalry regiment attacked ships (technically) at sea... and won! - -

Context: Vlad the Implaler ruled Walachia (in Modern day Romania) intermittently between 1448 and 1777 (edit: 1477) and had a rather gruesome way of achieving peace for his lands. He impaled people… a lot… and in probably the worse way possible. (Gore Warning) Vlad found the best way to impale someone was to go in between the legs, all the way up through the body and come out the back of the neck or mouth. This method allowed the person on the stake to remain alive for hours or even days. To make matters worse, the stake would usually be blunt at the end, not sharp, making the precess even more excruciating. He would then litter the lands with these people impaled on stakes, especially around roadways. This way when advancing armies made their way toward him, they faced shear horror as they would be walking through “A forest of Corpses”. Although, that’s not 100% true as a good amount of these people would still be alive and crying in agony. Vlad enjoyed the practice of impaling so much so that he reportable impaled 20,000 people in just 1 day. You could say the man was an expert in “Psychological Warfare” This constant reminder of death and what would happen to those who broke the law would deter most crime in Walachia and for Vlad’s rule, crime would remain relatively low. It’s said that the area was so safe, that you could leave gold in the middle of the street all day long and no one would steal it. Local people from that area today generally still regard Vlad the Impalor as a National Hero. - -
