The Last Time the Cubs Won the World Series The Ottoman Empire Still Existed

These 8 historical facts are just so funny.

The Chicago Cubs haven't won a World Series since 1908. This was back when there were still teams such as the Brooklyn Superbas and the Boston Doves. The Ottoman Empire, which was founded in the 13th century, also existed back then. Mehmed VI was the last sultan of the empire and his reign ended in 1922 when the sultanate was abolished and the Turkish government took governing control over the new republic -- 14 years after the Cubs last won the World Series.

So the Cubs won and 14 years later the Ottoman Empire fell? Coincidence? I think not.
