Georgian Death Match: The Bloody History Of The Pistol Duel | Fight Club | Absolute History

We explore the history of dueling in Georgian England, where individuals fought to the death to settle disputes, clear their names, or prove their courage and skill. The evolution of the dueling weapon ranged from swords to pistols, and various modifications were made for accuracy and ease of use. The prevalence of dueling can be attributed to excessive alcohol consumption, gambling, and the concept of honor.
