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 think..... sometimes religion degrades society, divides rather than unite

Religion today is a construct for men to wield power and control over the masses, and get rich while doing it.

And some right wing people want the same in the US. Religion can create extremism, no matter which religion. I mean they want to take away rights for women and make them dress "conservatively".

And if a man does anything to accost a woman, She bears the blame. Not just in Iran, also in many other Islamic State territories.

The United States helped to put the Shah back in power which led directly to the revolution. Thanks America once again for sticking your nose in other governments.

A pill of history: In 1951 Iran's democratically elected prime minister, Mosaddeq, followed the will of the people and nationalized oil industry. He also instaurated proportional taxes, social security, etc. Then the M16 and the CIA kindly proceeded to top him and replace him with no other than the former Shah (king), effectively ruining Iran's path towards democracy.

It can happen anywhere. Fascist banning books, taking away reproductive rights, restricting what can be taught...trying to make America a 'christian' right wing nation.

This is absolutely beside the point but what is happening with the person in the middle's nipples? Why are they... sharp?

I think it’s just the way the cup of the bikini top is sewn. It’s not properly darted, so the seam will come to a point. If you’ve never seen a woman’s nipples through fabric when they are stiff, they.. don’t look like that. They wouldn’t make the entire bikini top’s cup pointed, they’d just lift/point the fabric only where the nipple was.

Hate the way they turn these photos black and white to make it seem oldtimey, when it's in colour in the 80s.

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.
