Famous Feuds Throughout History   Elizabeth I, Queen of England,
and Mary, Queen of Scots   Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr
The Hatfields and the McCoys   Al Capone and George “Bugs” Moran
Members of Capone’s gang cap off a Chicago turf war by machine-
gunning six members of Moran’s crew (plus a seventh victim, who
was not a crew member) on Valentine’s Day 1929. Capone,
conveniently on vacation in Florida, is never charged.  Joseph
Stalin and Leon Trotsky  In the wake of Vladimir Lenin’s death,
Stalin and Trotsky struggle mightily for power. Stalin
outmaneuvers Trotsky, leading to the Trotsky’s expulsion from
the Communist Party, exile from the Soviet Union, and
assassination in Mexico in 1940.  Olivia de Havilland and Joan
Fontaine  The sisters’ lifelong strained relationship reaches a
breaking point in 1941, when both are nominated for the Oscar
for best actress. Fontaine’s win sparks an all-out feud that the
sisters, now both in their 90s, continue to this day.
