People tend to say "bruh" when something absurd happens. But would you say there's a historical moment that deserves such a description or reaction? Granted, many absurd things have happened throughout history (and we don't need to look back many years to find them).
There have been fights between cities because of buckets, people who survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki disasters, and a secret army masquerading as a giant wooden horse. Pretty crazy stuff when you think about it, isn't it?
One netizen collected all these incredible moments in one place when they asked: "What historical event can accurately be referred to as a 'bruh moment?'" Are you curious to find out, too? Scroll down and see the most interesting answers for yourself!

The Australian emu war.
Deliberately attempting to exterminate a whole species because they are problematic is always a bad idea.
They didn't try to exterminate the emus though, they wanted to reduce their numbers to protect harvests. Mao in China on the other hand tried that with sparrows

You see, one day an ostrich walks into this Australian bar… Oh we wish this was just a joke… Anyway this ostrich walks into a bar. A visiting American, that happened to just arrived that morning for his first ever visit to Australia - Qantas flight 12, if you were wondering. It is one of this huge Airbus 380s. Double decks in it. Those monsters seat 485 people! Well Tony, our American, and his girlfriend, Laura flew in economy, seats 61G and 61H, in case you were that curious. They saved a lot for this trip but not enough to afford business class. Since Tony is manager at a Panera Bread restaurant. They pay their managers decent. But not at business class levels. (Oops, have to go to part 2)
Part 2, — Laura used to make good tips at the Hooter’s in Tucson, Arizona where she worked. If you was have met Laura you would right away understand how well she did. But that Hooter’s closed two years ago. Changing times, I guess. Tony and Laura are in this legendary Emu bar that they had seen on National Geographic and wanted to make it their first stop. When said ostrich walked in. You know, no one seems to have recorded that ostrich’s name. And Tony, being the friendly American he was. Invited the ostrich to his and Laura’s table. “Barkeep, how about a beer for my new emu friend here.” Well, Tony was a little weak on his knowledge of large flightless birds. Someday I will have to tell you about Tony’s Cassowary kerfuffle. But not here. But Laura knew her birds because her parents took time to take her and her sister to the zoo. So Laura just hung her head and shook her head slightly.
Part 2.2 they really need to make these fields longer — Now the bartender did not notice the ostrich at first. He was too busy checking out Laura. Remember the bit about the Tucson Hooters and she did well making tips? ( Now you can go to part 3)
And we having been living under their subjugation ever since. And they use their feathered friends the cassowary to enforce their will on us

When Teddy Roosevelt was s**t before he was supposed to give a speech.
The bullet was slowed down by the folded up 50-page speech, so it did not k**l him. The bullet was inside him and he was bleeding, but he still went on and have the speech, which was 84 minutes long.
He started it off with "It takes more than that to k**l a Bull Moose" and showed the crowd the speech with the hole in it. That's a pretty "bruh moment" and humiliating to your would-be assassin.

There's a great movie about this exact thing: "Joyeux Noël" from 2005. Available on YouTube, Prime, Apple TV and others.
As nice -- and real -- as this moment was, the fact that we remember it says a great deal about British feelings about the war itself. The context in the story is that the English -- playing an English sport -- were going to teach those Germans exactly how a civilized game was played, sports and military life already being closely joined in the British imagination (the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, etc.). In a sense, this story fits the idea that Germany was, in August 1914, trying to upend the global chessboard. As one historian said, the First World War happened because "Britain had the world, and Germany wanted it." What better way to show that the Germans were very much out of line than by telling a story about the pacifying power of a well-organized and quintessentially British activity?
Actually, a British officer tried to recreate the scene in 2015 and was shot dead. Everyone's feelings had altered a bit over the year, you know?

When the Germans during WW1 disguised one of their ships as the British's HMS Carmania so they could wreck some ships without being recognised as a German ship. As the German ship went into the open seas, it met the real HMS Carmania which then immediately sank the German's disguise. Bruh.
The Carmania was a British armed merchant. The Cap Trafalgar was german raider. The Cap Trafalgar was disguised as the Carmania to attack allied shipping, and met the OG Carmania, shelling the hell out of it and being shelled in return. The Kronprinz Wilhelm, another German armed liner, came to the scene, but decided not to get involved mistaking the sinking german ship for the actual Carmania, and thinking the heavily damaged Carmania was a trap, thus losing the chance to both save German sailors and to sink a dangerous opponent
I can just imagine the captain of the other German ship going 'I'm just going to back away slowly and pretend I didn't see anything. I can't tell them apart, this is too hard'...

When travelling from the Netherlands or Belgium to Dover or Folkestone, I always had to go via customs and passport control, even before.

300 Australians trapped in a coastal African city held off 1000s of Italians for months during WW2.
They accomplished this by throwing Australian wildlife, which they had brought along for just such an occasion, at the enemy.
This is a joke about spartans and if anyone takes this seriously it says a lot about their smarts and knowledge. There were 15.000 Australians deployed in Tobruk, making up about half the Allied forces (27.000 men). The Axis outnumbered them slightly, at about 35.000 men deployed. Tobruk was heavily fortified: it was fortified by the Italians in the 1930s, to act as a Navy logistics base, but was lost to the English conquest of Cyrenaica (operation Compass). By the first siege of Tobruk the Italian Army was already exhausted, showing major supply shortcomings, having already lost the largest share of their vehicles, lacking heavy guns and tanks, and bleeding provisions due to its maritime supply lines battered and mauled by the British RAF.
The siege of Tobruk was made mythical because it fit perfectly into the British propaganda, but seen with an historian's eye it was just an average encounter between a fortified, entrenched, well equipped army and a desperate, underprovisioned attacker who had only a minor numerical advantage.

The Native Americans being forced out of their homes.
Lack of details? When has a Native population being forced out of their home ever not been a 'bruh' moment. However, what Spidercat says is the long and short of it. For further detail, it was embodied by repeatedly forming peace treaties with Native Americans and then breaking them. NAs were forced out of their homes into reservations that were typically on less fertile land, read the land that farmers didn't want. The trips to said reservations were generally pretty grueling and a lot of people died before even getting to the reservations, with the most famous being referred to as "The Trail of Tears". In some instances, the reservation camps got pushed out again as settlers expanded. Then of course there's the general racist treatment that they had to deal with, as they were mostly viewed as savages.

The destruction of Khwarezmia by Genghis Khan.
Genghis Khan forged a peace treaty with the Shah of Khwarezmia. After the treaty was signed, the Khan sent a 500-man caravan to officially establish trade ties with the empire. However the governor of the Khwarezmian city of Otrar had the entire caravan arrested, claiming they were conspiring against the empire. The Khan then sent three ambassadors (one Muslim and two Mongols) to the Shah negotiate the release of the caravan. The Shah had the Mongol ambassadors shaved bald and the Muslim ambassador beheaded before sending them back to the Khan. This angered the Khan, who considered ambassadors to be "sacred and inviolable."
So he led the Mongols over the Tien Shan mountains and in less than two years the entire Khwarezmian civilization was completely wiped out. As each city in the empire was captured, the defenders were e**cuted, women and children given to Mongol soldiers as slaves, artisans captured and sent back to Mongolia as servants, and the cities sacked. When the city where the Shah had been born surrendered, the Mongols broke the dams on the nearby rivers, causing a flood that literally wiped the city off the map.
TL;DR, never break a peace treaty with Genghis Khan.
It is beyond my understanding how Genghis Khan, one of the worst mass murderers in history, is somehow admired by some people.
It reminds me of how Christians like to think their religion is peace and love when they did the whole Crusades thing where they killed millions of Muslims and Jews, including civilians. A lot of "admired"/"strong" ancient leaders often s!aughtered hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people (Alexander the Great, Gengis Khan, etc.) By the standards of their times, it's just how things were done, but I do think that when we teach of them today, we should view their deeds with a modern eye: don't outright condemn the literal history, but don't glorify it either.

Rasputin was neither a monk nor evil. At worst, he was a harmless charlatan who claimed to have healing powers he didn’t really possess. Even that is disputed, since evidence shows that he really did possess unique abilities.

The Winter War. Stalin was paranoid about a potential attack from the Northwest, so he decided to try and take the snowy nation of Finland, and suffered heavy casualties.

See above. Technically "the thieves", but the whole thing was just a minor event of a feud that started in the late 1100s and went on until the 1520s when the threat of a Spanish conquest put both under the same banner. The "thieves" were the good guys in the whole feud. In the grand scheme of things, Bologna was the usual aggressor, their ultimate objective was to conquer Modena; they often engaged in raids on farmland and on trades of Modena, and by the time of Zappolino they had recently invaded two farm dwellings with major violence on civilians. Modena was loyal to Emperor Ludwig IV, while Bologna was siding with the Church; Pope John XXII supported them to the point of publishing a bull giving full pardon in advance to anyone who through their action hurt the Lord of Modena, his subjects, his lands or his interests.

Facepalm not necessary; this didn't happen. Although the mode of transfer wasn't recognized, and they certainly didn't go into universal quarrantine for 400 years, people did realize that it was contagious, and in general minimized rather than maximized worship crowds. There were certain exceptions: One city in Germany was so grateful that their city had been spared, that they instituted the tradition of holding a passion play which involved the entire city, every ten years... but again, this was because the city had been spared, so the performances didn't spread disease.

Napoleon I coming back to conquer Europe after he already got defeated. Then he immediately got defeated again.
Amusingly, the train from Paris to London was originally planned to stop at Waterloo. The French were not amused, apparently. That's why it goes to St Pancras.
He came very close to winning the second time. It took FOUR world superpowers to stop him, and they succeeded mostly by pure luck. In Waterloo rain prevented Napoleon to move his cannons in position in time, avoiding Wellington the massive initial casualties both him and Napoleon were expecting. Blücher happened on the flank of Napoleon's Army by sheer luck, while retreating from having his a*s handed to him in Ligny. They happened to arrive -again, not by plan- while napoleonic cavalry was rounding up the remaining British forces and Wellington was close to capitulating (he already lost *all* his staff and his first aides around him), taking Napoleon in an overextended position. Had they came a bit later the British would have already fallen, a bit earlier he would have met a wall of reserve cavalry at full strength getting another beating.
Jrog: no such thing as "superpowers" back in 1815. Napoleon couldn't have prevailed no matter the outcome of battle of Waterloo - Europe had had enough of that sort of warmongering and would have put a stop to Boney one way or another. I've read several accounts. One at least suggested the French had effectively lost by the time the Prussians turned up. Boney had never been up against Wellington before then...

With getting the bullet out, you also remove a source of infection.

Besides, the body will often react to alien objects inside the body. Which causes all sorts of unwanted reactions. But I agree, it will be better to wait until you can do it the right way.

When three dudes claimed to be pope and all got excommunicated.
The Western Schism (1378–1417). After the Papacy had a long stay in Avignone for political motives that is too long to explain here, Gregory XI moved back to Rome, despite he feared being killed by his enemies. To no one's surprise, he was pretty soon killed by his enemies. A new pope, Urban VI was elected in Rome, but he was quite a character and pissed off everybody within minutes. The conclave then claimed they got this wrong and elected a new one, Clement VII, who took seat back in Avignon. So, for about 50 years there were to separate lines: Roman Popes (4 in total) and Avignon Antipopes (two). Cardinals called a council in Pisa, and deposed both the popes, replacing them with the newly elected Alexander V, who had a mild case of sudden death and was replaced by John XXIII. The three excommunicated each other.
This is the religious version of XKCD #927. Situation: There are 2 competing popes. 2?! Ridiculous! We need name a new pope that makes everyone happy. Situation: There are now 3 competing popes.”

When the nomadic Hungarian tribes arrived to Europe to settle down they had a meeting with the inhabitants of the land of present Hungary where they asked for a gourd of water, some grass and a pile of dirt in exchange of a beautiful white horse, a saddle and a golden reins.
The inhabitants accepted the trade and the next day the Hungarian armies proceeded to conquer the lands, because "they agreed to it" by accepting the exchange.
As you can easily guess, this is a legend and not an historical event. The original myth frame the trade of the horse as an exchange for "grass, water and soil", and is reported in one semi-mythical XII century chronicle (later picked up by a second but it's derivative), written three centuries later. Actual contemporary historiae and annals make no mention of the exchange, and recount the invasion as just a bunch of nomadic incursions later turned into occupation. There is a major anachronism in the original legend, that features king Svatopluk I of Moravia as the ruler who accepted the deal: He was already dead by about three decades by the time the Hungarian tribes showed up at the border for the first time.
Not "Nomadic Hungarian Tribes", it was a group called the Alliance of the Ten Arrows or Onegarun (7 Mongol/Steppe peoples tribes called the Magyars, 3 Khazar Tribes, 2 Pagan 1 Christian. Of the 15 Khazar tribes only half of one converted to Judaism, it just happened to be the Kings tribs, but there were Muslim, Christian and Pagan ones), and the Alliance conquered, and Hungarian is what that name became over time

There was a kingdom who recently got a new king who was about 17 years old (still a teenager). There was another empire they were fighting on another side of this massive rock. There were two ways to get around the rock: through (there was a ravine but you would get easily ambushed and slaughtered) or around the rock. The kings military advisor advised him to go around the rock because the enemy surely would be ready with arrows to ambush their army. The naive king ignored him and decided to go through the ravine. It turns out that the enemy thought that the king would go around the rock so they also went that way too and they both completely missed each other.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand survived an assassination attempt but, later that day, his driver took a wrong turn on their way to the hospital to visit wounded citizens from the attack. They drove past another assassin having a snack at an outdoor cafe. Needless to say he did a better job than the first guy. RIP Europe.
Edit: Bruh, some of the details are incorrect I.E they made it to the hospital and then we’re returning home, Princip wasn’t eating a sammich, etc. The gist remains the same.
Also, I am well aware WW1 would have occurred anyways but this assassination was the spark that lit the tinderbox.

No one twisted Germany's arm to force them to declare war on the US a day or two later.
After the war, the Germans were asked why they declared war on the US. They replied that they had a treaty with Japan requiring them to do so. The Alled interviewer then asked, "Why did you pick that particular moment to start obeying treaties?"

The commanding general knew Japan would lose a war against the USA, but went ahead with the attack.
Italy changing teams in both world wars.
In WWI Italy didn't change sides: while it was part of the Triple Alliance (a defensive pact), nothing in the pact required them to take part in the war, and in fact the Austrians behaved in a way that breached the terms of the agreement. Italy remained neutral for the first year, then came in on the allied side. It didn't change sides.
There's a, probably apocryphal, account of a German minister phoning a British minister at the onset of WWII to tell him that the Italians were on the German side this time. The British minister replied "Oh well that's jolly decent of you to have them, thanks!".
Thailand switched sides right at the end of WWII, and its leaders went unpunished.
Can't remember the name of the operation (EDIT : Starfish Prime, 1962), but that time the US decided to detonate one of their biggest nukes in the upper stratosphere to see what it would do to the Earth's magnetic field, without even considering just simulating it.
They almost tore the whole thing off the planet, and ended up adding a new magnetic layer to the field. They almost killed everything on Earth by doing stupid s**t with their nukes. Bruh.
The second part is unnecessarily overdramatic, the result was just a bunch of early satellites' electronics being fried. But yeah, "let's try and see" was pretty much the go-to experimental approach of US scientists in the 1950s and 1960s, especially the ones working on atomics. TBF, there was no way of "simulating" it, they were missing so many data that trying was the only way of getting some numbers for the boffins to try and make sense of the whole thing.
Jrog: much more than damage to satellites as it happens. "The Starfish Prime electromagnetic pulse also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 900 miles (1,450 km) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights, setting off numerous burglar alarms, and damaging a telephone company microwave link. The EMP damage to the microwave link shut down telephone calls from Kauai to the other Hawaiian Islands." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish_Prime#After_effects

Ubik: the Tsar Bomba was detonated at relatively low altitude (4000m/13,000ft), so didn't cause the wide-spread electromagnetic problems of Starfish Prime - although it did mess up radio communication and did break windows 900km (560 miles) and further away. The bit that blows my mind is that the atmospheric pressure wave from the blast was measured in New Zealand - three times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba#Test_results.

Well, we took a few days to get our boats over there, and one did get hit.
Twenty three British ships were damaged in the Falklands, four of which sank and one was scuttled - although the Junta still got precious about the Belgrano being outside the two hundred mile exclusion zone and two miles underwater. Thirteen of those ships were damaged by bombs that didn't explode - because the argies "were" so painfully stupid that they cut the three foot long "removos before los flightos" tags on the safety pins instead of pulling the pins out. A massive blow was dealt to the British forces when the SS Atlantic Conveyor was sunk whilst carrying about 3,000 Mars bars and four million Benson and Hedges. Oh, and all of the Chinooks too, which was mildly inconvenient but not a big deal.

The war is only ridiculous if you're not an Argentine. I live in Buenos Aires, though I'm not Argentine, and my family was here for the war. I'm really too young to remember most of it. The Argentines consider the Falklands Argentine in the same way that they consider water wet: something so obvious that they can't believe that anyone would question it. And it's true: the British snatched the islands from them in 1833, but that was a long time ago and none of the islands' current inhabitants wants to be Argentine today. But you won't find a depiction of Argentine printed here that doesn't include las Malvinas, and suggesting that the British were right to take it back is an invitation to a fistfight. There are Argentines who disagree, and know that the whole venture was a tremendous mistake, but they keep their voices down and their conversations private. The Argentines consider the deaths of their soldiers a tragedy, and there's something to that: most of them were raw recruits doing
"And it's true: the British snatched the islands from them in 1833" This is not true. Argentina was not in control of the Falklands in 1833 because the US had kicked them out.

The Anglo-Zulu War of 1879 produced two major “bruh moments.”
The Battle of Isandlwana first: the British enter Zululand with the same arrogance and sureness of their imperial superiority they were renowned for. They camp under the rock formation at Isandlwana. The Zulus light a fire some distance away, and Lord Chelmsford, the commander, takes half of his force to investigate. While he’s gone, two patrols go up a mountain and see an army of 10,000 Zulus hiding behind it. They panic, and fire at them. The Zulus let out a cry of “USUTHU!” and storm the camp using their “Horns of the Buffalo” tactic. The British are decisively defeated.
All of this under a rare Blood Moon.
The very next day, one of the “horns” of the buffalo make their way to the field hospital at Rorke’s Drift. They attack. But the British soldiers guarding the place put up a tough resistance. Less than 150 soldiers manage to repel an attack of 4000 Zulu troops - most of it in Close Quarters Combat, where the Zulus have an advantage due to their shields, clubs and assegai spears, with a loss of 17 British and 351 Zulu.
By the end of the battle, the Zulus were singing a song and dance to salute their opponents for their well-fought battle.
Zulu is a bl00dy good film, though. I end up watching it whenever it's on TV and I'm channel surfing. Even though I own it on Blu Ray. I'd like to see it in the cinema some when.

Constantinople fell because a group of byzantine soldiers accidentally left a small door called the kerkoporta open, which allowed a group of 50 ottoman soldiers to gain entry into the city and raise their flag, that caused mass panic in the defenders and made them retreat. All of this subsequently led to the fall of the city and with it, the Byzantine Empire.
Another story that is far more legend than history. Originated from a single source, the Doukas Memories (1460 circa); Doukas was not an eyewitness and his retelling often include moralizing stories and religious parables in the Byzantine tradition. Neither of the historical sources, including Nicolò Barbaro (a Venetian historian that was in the city, took part in the siege defense and led a daring escape) and Leonardo Giustiniani (a Dominican who acted as Papal delegate in the city, was captured and wrote a detailed report to the Pope), make mention of this "kerkoporta". Historians reported how the city fell from the pressure of weeks of constant bombardment, with a few thousand remaining defenders against 10 to 15 times as much besiegers, in a city without any supplies left; they write about how the city fell after a whole day of ferocious fighting that claimed the life of the emperor himself fighting in the battle inside the walls.

When Columbus found out he had discovered native Americans, not "Indians", after calling them that for a while.
He never found out. By the time he died, he was pretty sure they were not Indians-from-india but he was still trying to figure out which specific tribe of Asians he met. His letters from the last voyage go into this, and show he already realized that culture, language, and geography did not match known descriptions of Asiatic populations, but he was still convinced he arrived SOMEWHERE in Asia. There is a single letter in his Fourth Voyage stating that "I have come to the conclusion that these lands are not part of the Indies, but may be new lands unknown to the world", but is later glossed over in following public writings.
amazing that he set out "discover" india, without ever having met, or even seen a painting of, someone from india.

Even taking Whitehead claims at face value, Clément Ader did the same a decade before. In both cases, while they flew for a few meters, they had no means to control the direction. The Wright Flyer hold the distinction for the first 1) Manned 2) heavier than air 3) powered and 4) CONTROLLED aircraft. Manned has been dealt with since the Montgolfier brothers (1783). Heavier than air was 1853 with George Cayley's gliders. Powered was Adler in 1890. The big deal was everything being controlled.
The feat of flying was not the milestone the Wright Brothers achieved, it was because the airplane was controllable.

1. Assassination attempt on Andrew Jackson where assassin tried to sh**t Jackson from close quarters, but the powder didn’t light, so he grabbed a second gun, and it didn’t fire so Jackson took his cane and started beating the man.
2. The term “getting the ball rolling” came from William Henry Harrison’s campaign. After which, he won (mainly because he was the only candidate who didn’t say anything about slavery) and he gave the longest inaugural speech in us history without a coat... in dc... in the rain. Ended up catching some disease and died like a month into his term, leaving John Tyler as president who did practically nothing to reduce tensions between the north and south.
3. Sumner Brooks affair.
#2. So the story told at the time went. Modern historians think his symptoms were much closer to typhoid fever. Washington had no sewage system at the time, and many in the White House got sick that year from drinking contaminated water. But the speech theory makes for a better story. Also the phrase "get the ball rolling" is connected to Harrison's campaign, but it was already a popular phrase, and had nothing to do with his death. The phrase came out of 18th century sports columns in news papers. Harrison ran in 1840. His campaign chanted the phrase "keep the balls rolling" as a metaphor for continued American success.
1. Jackson was Coo-Coo for Coco Puffs level of crazy. I just think that the guns knew better than to mess with that level of crazy.

The e*******n of Topsy the elephant. In 1903 Topsy the elephant was fed cyanide, and then electrocuted and simultaneously hung. The whole spectacle was filmed for Edison's campaign against AC.

Edison's involvement is actually an urban myth. The electrocution took place a decade after the so called "War of Currents" and Edison had almost nothing to do with it.
The event was filmed by a company that he owned, and the film was sold via penny viewer, but wikipedia makes it sound like it was an opportunistic filming, rather than set up by them.
Where does anonymous get their information from? It is well documented that the electrocution was used as propaganda in the AC/DC wars.

The German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact being broken.
There is a lot of background to it, and -as usual- the blame is squarely on the British. Stalin had repeatedly reached out to western powers offering mutual assistance. He was ignored because at the time Communism was a touchy subject on the west, with workers' revolts going on and vocal communist parties popping up right left and center: most western governments took a "no contact" policy, deciding to cut any diplomatic activity with Russia. When Litvinov and Molotov on Stalin's orders came knocking on Britain's and France's consulate doors they were met with stalling, distrust and an endless slew of meetings with officers without any decision power. Stalin terms were unexpectedly reasonable: Mutual assistance against Germany, guarantees of independence for Poland, Romania and Baltic States (well, he had a plan to snatch them later on but...). Britain and France at some point sent to an agreed meeting to sign the deal the umpteenth diplomat who had no signing powers, Stalin snapped.
Germany had already moved fast. When they got wind of the deal, they woke up Joachim Von Ribbentrop, the Minister of Foreign Affairs with plenipotentiary powers, in the midst of the night and put him on a train to Moscow, with orders to offer a non aggression deal, with approval of direct annexation of the Baltic States and part of Poland, sign here please, deal done. Stalin had been convinced by the western allies' behavior that they would not trust him, and that the Allies were a bunch of disorganized, infighting imb*ciles unable to manage a meeting for tea, let alone a war. So, he signed the pact, very well knowing that it was a shaky agreement, so he started mobilizing for war anyway.

When Otto von Bismarck predicted WWI, almost to the day.
That's quite overstretching the truth. Even giving for accurate the 1888 origin of the supposed quote -for which we don't have any direct source, and is almost certainly spurious- the quote went "If there is ever another war in Europe, it will come out of some d**n silly thing in the Balkans.". The Balkans were already a powder keg since the middle ages, with a complex political landscape and multiple ongoing small scale conflicts that could very easily scale up. Even if true, it would be the most vague, obvious and easy-to-get prediction in the history of predictions.
BTW, the closest thing to a source is a 1923 writing by Winston Churchill, who was a known "unreliable narrator" and often made up anecdotes to entertain or convince people. He reports it as something reported to him by a third party (Albert Ballin, a german entrepreneur, the guy who invented the cruise business), who supposedly heard it from Bismarck.

The Troians pillaged these stuff (remember the US troops leaving afghanistan, same thing). Soldiers were hidden in the large boat, came out at night and attacked the city while celebrations were ongoing.
What's interesting is that archeological evidence de facto support the version of the war told in the Iliad. One archeological layer match pretty closely with the sites mentioned in the epic, the locations appearing in the epic have been proved to be a close match with actual locations, and the second book offer listings of armies and ships that are consistent with the status, geographical and historical condition of the greek cities at the time. It is very likely that the Iliad is an actual war chronicle with a decent bunch of flourish and fantasy thrown in for good measure by the subsequent oral retellings.
