Tenth place: hanging.

Although the French foreign legion still uses hanging, in fact, hanging, which is all the rage now, is illegal in any country. In fact, hanging yourself is strangling people. It can also be used to break a person's neck. Hanging was used in Spain until 1978 when Spain abolished the death penalty and hanging became illegal in Spain.

Hanging is usually to trap the prisoner in a chair, and then the executor wraps a metal bar around the prisoner's neck and slowly tightens it until the prisoner dies. In hanging in some places, a nail is usually tied to a metal bar so that it can be inserted into the prisoner's spine when strangling the prisoner's neck. Prisoners may twitch in extreme pain during hanging until they die. The hanging used by Catalans in Spain is the most extreme of all hanging. The last use of hanging was in 1977 in Jose Luis Severto. Andorra is the last country in the world to abolish hanging. It officially abolished hanging in 1990. However, according to Indian writer and legal expert Parik, hanging is still very common in India.

All countries in the world execute prisoners by hanging. In most cases, people who are hanged are ordinary people (nobles are often beheaded), so hanging is regarded as a symbol of dishonour. As for the war criminals who participated in the Second World War, many of them were hanged for committing heinous crimes.

In the history of China, hanging is usually not the lowest death penalty. On the contrary, in order to keep the whole body, senior officials of the royal family generally ask for hanging or hanging, rather than beheading, which may lead to beheading. Nowadays, shootings are more common. Britain once regarded hanging as the first step of its car splitting punishment, and the prisoner would not die at this stage.

There are many kinds of hangings in history:

The first is to let the prisoner climb on a chair, table, train, horse or ladder, put a rope around his neck connected by a right-angle bracket or branches, and then pull off the bracket to make it hang. This method is the most popular and widely used in history. The prisoner died slowly and painfully.

The second is to put a ring on the prisoner, pass the rope through the pulley or chute, and then pull the rope hard to lift the prisoner from the ground. The prisoner was actually strangled, which was the preferred method of lynching by the Ku Klux Klan. The same is true of public hanging in Islamic countries in the Middle East.

The third type is considered more humane after being improved by the British, but it needs some facilities: scaffolding fixed at a certain height and twitchable boards. As soon as the board is pulled during execution, the prisoner's body will fall down. Generally speaking, his cervical vertebra will break, leading to suffocation and cerebral anemia. At most, the prisoner will die in a few minutes.
