Which historical figures are remembered for actions contradictory to their intentions? More! Thanks, Bryce, with the edit and clarifications this is a terrific answer. I especially appreciate that you were able to mention figures commonly recognised, where I will be able to use them as examples in conversation and expect the other party to know who I am talking about. |

In which historical trials was God summoned as a witness? I seem to have found something. This subject is rather difficult to google for, as the relevant keywords are used in unrelated biblical contexts. This is a terrific question for H.SE. |

Have fair-skinned peoples ever been the lower/oppressed class? Thank you Nicolas, very timely! |

Which historical figures are remembered for actions contradictory to their intentions? Thank you, this is rather interesting. It also demonstrates a flaw in my question, which shall be the basis of another question if I can't google it. Thank you T.E.D., your answers are always informative. |

Which historical figures are remembered for actions contradictory to their intentions? Thank you, my Indian history is rather lacking. I'm reading the Wikipedia articles now, but why do you suppose that these kings are known for things that are contradictory to their intentions? |

Has the United States ever been formally condemned by the United Nations? Quoting Chomsky? His opinion "this was an act of direct aggression" is the opinion of a man who's career has been to troll. The fact "it was condemned by the United Nations" could be verified elsewhere. I don't mean to disparage Noam Chomsky's character, but presenting him as a neutral, reliable source of information is rather disingenuous regardless of one's agreement or disagreement with him. |

Have fair-skinned peoples ever been the lower/oppressed class? If it were "light" then some people would prefer "fair". From speaking to a British colleague before posting, the term "fair" was determined to be the preferred (British) way. |

In which historical trials was God summoned as a witness? I have reworded the question and title to better fit with history.SE guidelines. Please review and reopen. I suggest removing the OT comments above as well. Thanks. |

Which historical figures are remembered for actions contradictory to their intentions? Thank you. Despite the hoover*-isms, I don't think that today we associate Hoover with poverty. As for Dewey, I don't think that "Dewey defeats Truman" quite makes him memorable, nor memorable for reasons other than what he intended. Nixon is borderline, and as for Hussein what intentions of his do you suspect that were misinterpreted or misrepresented? Benedict Arnold was quite the traitor due to spite, so his reputation is deserved. Regarding Marie Antoinette, like Hussein, what intentions do you suspect as forgotten today? Please elaborate! Thanks. |

Which historical figures are remembered for actions contradictory to their intentions? Are there people who we remember for their failures? Tesla, maybe? |

Have fair-skinned peoples ever been the lower/oppressed class? @heltonbiker: I mean "fair" to be "light", the opposite of "dark". |
