What was even going on back then

It's called fashion, sweetie, look it up.

Beautiful.

I feel kinda bad for Burnside. His Civil War campaigns in North Carolina and East Tennessee were successes, and his post-war career went very well, but he's infamously remembered for Fredricksburg and the Crater.

As a Belgian I have to represent ma boi king Leopold II. His beard almost makes me forget Kongo

I enjoy the symmetry of 19th cent. beards.

I honestly only remember him for his sideburns, which is probably worse, isn't it?

King Haakon of Norway, the great monarch who cried in front of the parliament, telling them he would abdicate if they accepted German rule during the 1940 occupation.

I don't know anything about Sweden or Denmark (other than that Denmark was taken with very little resistance). Norway was invaded in April 1940. The King was asked to accept a German occupation government but refused, and he and his family fled the country and stayed in exile in England while trying to aid in retaking Norway. A Norwegian right wing politician named Vidkun Quisling tried to seize power when the occupation took place, but the Germans refused his government. He still became prime minister in 1942. Quisling is a generic term for traitor now. I honestly don't know too much about the actual occupation years unfortunately, I am in the process of becoming more familiar with my nation's history, but we got pretty easy off. There were soldiers in the streets, interrogation chambers and prison camps and what have you, but no huge atrocities or anything like that. One of the bad things that happened was an Allied bombing on the Nazi's headquarters in Oslo that missed and hit a tram on New Years Eve, killing several civilians.
There was a big resistance movement and a lot of operations against the occupational forces that were sometimes succesful and sometimes not. The Nazis capitulated when Berlin was taken, and gradually disarmed themselves while keeping the peace.

Asymmetry can be pretty dope though.

As much as it disgusts me to say, Robert E. Lee had a pretty nice beard.

Grant's is also a beard to aspire to.

That's what I'm saying, desu!

I don't actually know who this is
I've seen this guy's picture before, also don't know who he is though. How long do you think that took him to grow?

I can almost hear the guy at the back middles accent

wtf is that thing in the middle of his- did he tie a wig on?

You have to be more specific, gentle sir

He tied the remnants of his hair on top into three thin braids which met at his forehead.
