This is the first time I'm hearing about Napoleon's poison ring! So he was like a real-life spy or something? That's crazy cool but also freaky to think he just carried poison around on him 😬
Yeah, I remember the same thing in school. But later learned that it's about how you measure size. Mongol was biggest if you only consider land-connected empire, but British wins if you count total control even if it's separated by oceans. No Mandela effect, just tricky history facts.
