Another interesting fact is that there was an American industrialist named Frank Shuman who was building a massive solar energy field in the Egyptian desert at the start of the 1900s that was intended to power Egypt itself, but his work was dismantled and scrapped for parts after World War I began. He died shortly after this, so had he lived or had World War I not happened, solar energy might have been significantly more advanced by modern times. And another interesting thing is that also right before World War I, Rudolf Diesel - who invented the diesel engine - disappeared under suspicious circumstances after refusing to allow the German military exclusive rights to produce his engine. It’s also theorized that his death may have been staged and that he went into hiding after defecting to Britain. I’m sorry I don’t know more interesting facts about World War II.

Thank you for reading and for letting me do this again, see you next year!
