During the War between Japan and China. Japanese soldiers invaded the Chinese city of Nanjing and carried out a series of atrocities: cruel murders, mass rapes, ripping babies from their mothers' bodies, forcing family members to have sex with each other and several other cruel facts.
Cats Massacre
Pope Gregory IX related the cats with demonic practices and thousands of felines were killed.

The Czar's punishment
Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia during the second half of the seventeenth century, discovered that his wife had a lover and deceiving the most powerful man of the empire brought its consequences. The Czar had his wife's mistress executed, and as a reminder not to disobey him again, made her have the head of the now dead lover in a jar on his bedside table.
Guilty Until the boiling water proves otherwise
In the Middle Ages, the trials were not complicated, since to know if the defendant of violent crimes was guilty or innocent, should put his arm in a jar of boiling water. If he burned his arm, he was guilty, since if he were innocent God would have protected him from such a terrible and unjust wound.
