What are some lesser-known plot twists in history?

One fascinating twist is the story of the Trojan Horse, which was a deceptive strategy that led to the fall of Troy.

That's interesting! Can you tell me more about how the Trojan Horse worked?

Sure! The Greeks left a giant wooden horse at the gates of Troy as a supposed offering. The Trojans brought it inside, thinking they had won, but Greek soldiers hidden inside emerged at night to open the gates for the rest of their army.

Are there other examples like that?

Absolutely! Another example is the D-Day deception, where the Allies created fake armies to mislead the Germans about the invasion location.

Wow, I had no idea! What about more recent history?

In more recent history, the fall of the Berlin Wall had unexpected consequences, leading to the rapid reunification of Germany, which many didn't foresee.
