"And now the whole of Switzerland was overrun by the Hungarians and the
Muslims simultaneously. After the Muslims had made themselves masters of
Valais, they advanced right into the country of the Grisons, where they
entered the Disentis abbey which had been founded by a disciple of St
Columban and was well known throughout the country"
[Specher, Chronicon Rhoetios, Bale, 1617 AD, pp 197]
Does not seem to be the first time I heard that story : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Col_du_Grand-Saint-Bernard#Moyen_.C3.82ge
No other major civilization(think like the English/French/Germans) has ever held Moscow in the cities' history. The only ones to do so were the almighty Poles... in 1610 in the Polish-Muscovite war
Jacob De la Gardie? "When arrived to Moscow in early 1610 this Swedish-Finnish army unit suppressed the rebellion in Moscow organised against Tsar and took control over Moscow" (quote from Wikipedia)
They entered Moscow as an allied army under command of Tsar's relative
Prince Skopin-Shuisky was with the De la Gardie's army but I would not say he commanded it. More likely he was there to give the Swedish force some legitimacy and support from the nobility.
Ok, a co-commander, but it was an allied Russian-Swedish army entering Moscow anyway
Yes, we were the only ones who took and held Moscow and occupied Kremlin for almost two years
In modern times...
Actually Polish forces were allowed to enter Moscow without any resistance after Kłuszyno slaughter. And their presence was supported by substantial amoint of Muscovian boyars
THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A FUN LITTLE ADD ON TO THE HISTORY FORUM BY REVIVING THIS THREAD
JUST POST A FACT (NO FAKE NEWS) ABOUT HISTORY WHICH YOU FIND INTERESTING. THE MORE OBSCURE OR INSIGHTFUL, THE BETTER
Before World War 2, there had only been 200 uninterrupted transatlantic flights by planes.

That can't be right! The Graf Zeppelin alone made 143 journeys across the Atlantic, and I'm sure all the other airships of the interwar period made more than 57 transatlantic flights.
My guess would be those are heavier than air flights, or uninterrupted heavier than air flights.
One of the things I love about this forum ... You say have an obscure nugget of detail and someone comes along and knows an more about that obscure point
