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.

As an artist I can tell you the colors are close to the exact opposite on the color wheel which is what makes this even more striking

That is beautiful, but absolute hell if you get stuck out there with no water.

Don't worry; you wouldn't be stuck out there that long. The tide will come in and wash you away.

Looks like a scene out of one of those Top Gear epic travel episodes.

Not really historical , as this shot came from Amazon's Grand Tour (Top Gear) season 1 episodes 7 and 8. However this is a great shot of dichotomy on our planet!

Beautiful it may be, but also unsettling. What happens if there is an avalanche of sand? Where would you go?

Always wanted to visit the Skeleton Coast. Guess this is the closest I’ll come.

Travel through the desert to finally reach water and die of thrust because you can't drink it. WOW, amazing and deadly...

I never expected it to be so tall right at the ocean! I would have thought it was at sea level.

You could try to harvest drinkable water from the ocean as long as you have two different sized containers

Ran down there once - didn't want to run but as I was being shot at it seemed like a good idea.

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

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.

Sunscreen people! All jokes aside that's an impressive age to live to and I bet he had some stories to tell.

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.
