    Hitler's Mind is Transported into German Kaiser Wilhelm II's Body in 1888

However, after reading the comments on that thread, I figured that I should also ask this question: What if Hitler's mind is transported into German Kaiser Wilhelm II's body in 1888 with the help of...

    Anything about the human body

    I reject the Christian concept that the human body is divinely designed; rather, it is a product of long evolution. The healthy human body and mind functions relatively decent, and the human body, as a product of evolution, has various defects. An example is the development of cataract...

    The Myth of Blackbeard's Body

    So, many people say that after Blackbeard was beheaded, he swam laps around the ship before sinking. Could this be possible? It may just be currents carrying the body.

    Title question. Does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body? Personally, I think the body rules the mind far more than most of us would care to admit.

    If they had bullet-proof vests in the 19th century?

    I'm not really sure whether to put this thread here or in the Speculative History section, so feel free to move it if you're a mod. Basically, I was wondering what effect it would have on 19th-century warfare (esp. the Napoleonic to American Civil War periods) if armies had equipped a large...
