If you ever feel bad about your baseball team, just remember that the Chicago Cubs haven't won a world series since 1908. A lot can happen in 108 years, here is a list of some of the more profound things.

1. Women's Right to Vote

Probably one of the most important events in American history is Women's right to vote. The 19th Amendment was ratified on August 18, 1920. In 1920, the Cubs finished in 5th out of 8.

2. Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union.

In 1922, after the fall of Tsar Nicholas and the Russian Empire, the great Soviet Union was brought about by the mighty Vladimir Lenin. Joseph Stalin sort of took over during the cold war, but after he died in 53, his position was given to other people until the communist giant toppled over.

3. 2 World Wars

That's right! Not one, but two and almost three World Wars! Archduke Franz Ferdinand? He bit the dust six years after the last Cubs World Series win. Adolf Hitler? He ravaged Europe, killed millions, almost won, but eventually lost the war. There have been multiple occasions where World War III almost started. Soviet computer errors have been many of them, but it also includes the Cuban missile crisis and the bay of pigs.

4. MLB Embarrassment

This isn't really an embarrassment to the entire MLB, but just to the Cubs. Here is a list of all the MLB teams that were founded AFTER 1908 and have won a world series: Diamondbacks, Marlins, Mets, Angels, Royals, and the Blue Jays. That's right, 6 teams. What makes it even worse is that one of those teams is Canadian. That's almost as bad as when Germany beat Brazil in the World Cup a few years back.

5. Ottoman Empire

When people think of ancient civilizations they may think of the Ottoman Empire. They would be wrong about that because it was founded in 1299. What they may not know is that the Ottoman Empire was still standing the last time the Cubs won the World Series. That is 623 years of middle eastern history, and the Cub's shame had existed for 14 of those years.

6. We went to the moon

Although we first gained the power of flight in 1903, 4 years before the Cub's first World Series win, we have made significant improvements to aviation since then. 1908 was the first year planes had passengers. 1914 held the first commercial flight. WWI was the first war to utilize planes. In 1969, we went to the moon. Not only did we go to the moon, but we decided to check out our other neighbors. We even introduced ourselves to the shy girl that we only ever saw in passing, Pluto. Then we decided that space wasn't fun enough to throw money at, so we decided to be done.

All this, yet the Cubs can't win another World Series.
