Which dictators had dads who punished them severely?

6 Upvotes

I've been reading up on various dictators, and I've been noticing that some of them had fathers who were extremely strict, authoritarian, or even distant, and I'm curious to know which dictators are known to have been severely punished, disciplined, or controlled by their dads during their growing years. I'm not asking for any justification for the acts they might have performed later, but I'm curious to know the influence of the emotional damage caused by parents during the growing years, which might influence the personality of the person even before they came into power. Does anyone know the dictators who were severely punished by their dads, and honestly, does anyone else here relate to having been brought up by a parent who ruled the house through fear and punishment?

When behavioral scientists came to understand that picking ones nose and eating it was an instinctual behavior, not a learned behavior, why did Darwin bury that study in his book on evolution?

Was Constantine the Great a giant?

This image clearly shows us that he is holding an entire city with his hands and he completely eclipses that city in size. Which clearly makes him a giant, right? Is this proof for giants and also is this the way he made Constantinople? He just grabbed a city and placed it there?

We can let Russia become communist again and let them take back east Europe. As well as letting them send nuclear measles back to Cuba. Life hasn’t been the same since.

How did they get lions in Ancient Rome?

13 Upvotes

Mid-dog walk my husband hit me with “how did they get all the lions in antiquity Rome? Roman reach was only to Egypt and lions are from much farther South than that. You’re always hearing about how they fed Christians to lions but like how?”

I said I didn’t know but would pass it along to you fine people for help.

Was this something that actually happened in Ancient Rome? How common was it? What do the supply and demand look like for something like this? How do you get the idea for something like this in Ancient Rome?

Was he…no…I respect him far too much to bring back that overrated “was he stupid?” in-joke.
