Our rules prohibit questions that ask for lists of examples of things. If you're intent on posting the question here, you could submit it as a suggested topic for a future Tuesday Trivia feature. Otherwise you'll need to reconsider the choice of sub, in which case /r/AskHistory or /r/AskReddit would be your best bets.
