Yugoslavia was named after a popular slogan during the first world war, when Slav nationalism was catching on - "You go slav! You go!"

Alternativly, the national car company got its name after its first model, "you push, you go".

The "Armada Invencible" got that name because it never lost a battle until it was dismanteled (lol).

Alaska was conquered by the USA in the Canada-USA war fought in 1906.

The "Rome" that made the roman empire is not the city that is called Rome today.

The Thirty Years war only lasted about 15 years, cause you have to deduct the time they stopped fighting when it got too dark. Same for the Hundred Years, the Seven Years and so on.......see also under revisedhistory.com
