The Sweetest Revenge Stories In History That People Still Can’t Get Over
Whether you see it as justice, payback, or a dish best served cold, revenge has been around as long as the human race. These stories are some of history’s most incredible instances of people serving justice in their own twisted court of law. A fair warning — it’s well known that revenge doesn’t come without consequence.
1. Mariya Oktyabrskaya
When her husband was killed by Nazis in WWII, she crafted a revenge plot worthy of the movies. She sold all her belongings and bought an army tank, which she named "Fighting Girlfriend." She trained for months with Joseph Stalin's approval.
Baptism by Fire
The day finally arrived when she plowed through the frontlines and exacted her revenge on as many Nazis as possible. “I’ve had my baptism by fire. I beat the bastards," she exclaimed. She died in combat a month later, but she had achieved her ultimate vengeance.
2. Hugh Glass
His story was recently portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2015 movie The Revenant. Like the film, Glass was left to die in the wilderness by his comrades after injuries sustained from fighting a bear. And winning.
Glass' Vow
With broken limbs and deadly wounds teeming with bacteria, he made the treacherous journey back to his fellow soldiers. When he arrived, he confronted his former friend Fitzgerald. Unable to kill a fellow soldier, he vowed that if Fitzgerald ever retired, he'd die.
