If you could travel back in time to meet just one historical person, who would it be? A recent survey in England asked just this and received back some
interesting answers.
Number one on the list was Winston Churchill (did I mention this was a British survey?). I bet he’d be
happy to discover such admiration after the British failed to elect him for a second term towards the end of World War
II.
Second place went to Elvis Presley, followed by Albert Einstein, Marylyn Monroe, and Martin Luther King.
Nelson Mandela snagged an impressive 8th place in the survey despite actually still being alive. Kudos!
Respondents were also asked which period of time they would most like to visit. The hippy days of the 1960s
was the overall winner, followed by the year 2006, the Victorian era, and then, in fourth place, 1966—the year
England won the World Cup. They sure do love their soccer in England.
