Wanted to see if anyone knew the answers to some of these questions...

1) The night that Abraham Lincoln died, what was the most peculiar thing they found in his pocket?

2) Which nation has conquered the most land mass under there rule?

3) Who used the most men in one single battle? And what was his name?

 

[SHERMAN]

well

noumber two would be the mongols...?

 

[IrishWizard]

Yeah number 2 is the Mongols. They could of conquered all of Europe if Genghis Khan had not of died and the man in charge of leading the army to Europe did not have to come back to pay his respects.
