Studying history helps us understand how past events have shaped the present. We not only learn about ourselves and how we came to be but also develop the ability to avoid mistakes and create better paths for our societies.
So, join us in taking a look at the Twitter account 'Historic Vids.' It shares daily lessons supplemented with vibrant images that perfectly illustrate them. Whether it's a secret photo of Stalin dealing with the news that Nazis invaded the Soviet Union or a portrait of a regular family during the Spanish flu, they will definitely broaden your horizons.

I read that he had a reunion with the turtles from Rocky, Cuff and Link, a couple of years ago

"Sorry Boss, the beer was getting too bubbly, I had to drink it or it would go bad" ;D
My grandmother had one of those in her house. It's for warming gloves and socks, not bread
The photo is "blind girl" taken in Hiroshima by Christer Strömholm. He took haunting pictures of the victims of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The close-up of a blind girl with scars on her face is surely the most well known of the series. Once seen, it is never forgotten. Like most of Strömholm’s photographs, this one seems unpolished and shadowed, since it was taken spontaneously and in the light available. Using the existing light was a central credo to him. Disturbingly, Strömholm confronts the viewer with a reality that is taboo and all too eagerly repressed. He lets the viewer experience unadorned human suffering without compromising the dignity of those he portrays. The girl stayed anonymous..The photo is often claimed to show the face of a girl blinded by the nuclear bomb. This seems unlikely, since the girl appears younger than 18 years. It is also possible that the photo was taken earlier but not published until 1963.
Revealing her vagina would have had serious irreversible health consequences. You might be talking about vulva perhaps?
Very healthy diets these tribal people had. I'm sure it's the same with New Guinea tribes as well. (Look it up. It's very good for inducing insomnia and waking nightmares.) I think one of the rockerfellers was their "guest" too.
Legend has it that Frank secretly resented Dean Martin because Dean could just show up and smooooth out songs while Frank worked his asss off..... Dean Martin was LEAGUES better than Sinatra, imo, and less of an assshole...... though Frank did have his moments of going to bat for folks, especially Sammy....
If that was actual bone growth around the spike then he survived for some time after injury. Can't speculate how long he could have lived or how mentally and physically challenged he would have been. If it is just museum repair job to hold spike in place, then it would mean he did not survive injury.
It's an awesome pic, but her daughter looks like her eyes are about to pop out from the pressures of the Limpombo 😳
Actually didn't help with coughing, but you just didn't care about it anymore!
George Junius Stinney Jr., who at the age of 14 was convicted, in a proceeding later vacated as an unfair trial, and executed, for the murders of two young girls in March 1944 — Betty June Binnicker, age 11, and Mary Emma Thames, age 7 — in his hometown of Alcolu, South Carolina. He was convicted, sentenced to death, and executed by electric chair in June 1944, thus becoming the youngest American with an exact birth date confirmed to be sentenced to death and executed in the 20th century
Weren't the two male too? Or was that the skeletons in Pompeii that turned out to be a male couple?
My dad used to love to tell this story of how the Nazis marched into Paris in 1940, and when they got to the Louvre, there was nothing inside but the Winged Victory of Samothrace. After hearing this story a few times, I found myself in the Louvre, where they have a photo of the Winged Victory of Samothrace, crated up and being slid down a ramp so it could be taken away and hidden. When I saw Dad again I said "Dad, what the hell?" He said "I just figured it was too big to move!" Well they managed to get it from Greece to Paris in the 1860s, so why would it be a problem getting it into the countryside in 1940?
You sure it wasn't after King Kong was climbing and needed a foot hold?
Titanic sank in 1912, wonder how many of these powerful, rich men were on it? Then the dark part, how many survived because they were rich vs those who died because they were gentlemen?
There's a lot missing here. They injected them with insulin and their recovery was rapid (I read that the story has been exaggerated but the basis of the story is true)
Once again, the same old pictures, over and over. Can’t anybody come up with something new?
I don't like the exaggerated titles "teach you more than school books"
