35 Fascinating Historical Pictures That Might Teach You Something New About Our World

ZOOMING in, spending the day contemplaiting all their expressions. Mind f**k, still worth it. Nothing of value contibuted. Still necessary.

The dog who led his team the farthest was Togo, who did 420 km over the worst terrain. Balto got the publicity because he was on the last team, who ran 89 km. There were 20 human drivers (mostly native Athabaskans) and over 150 sled dogs altogether. At least 15 dogs died en route. Those doggos gave their lives for the people of Nome. Humanity does not deserve dogs.

The strength white people see in "one" black person confronted with their group hate, fuels some white peoples fear, and then more hate. Imagine if we could all be allies. As a white person, I dont like my group very much, too often.

Definitely a very good girl.

Well, we may end up marching again.....

Her little round face reminds me of my own 4 year old 🥰

Well-dressed young men.

What the condition does to people is truly depressing.

Run kitty!

His sharp features are so regal and demanding of respect.

Nothing like nature’s power and fury. So humbling.

Such beautiful eyes

Betty White 🩷

Everyone should watch "call the midwife". Its set in the East End of London, from 1956 or so. Its just wholesome and humanity faith restoring ❤️ the director knows how to show love, so even if its from time bygone, someone can still see love, and show us how it looks like. Magic

All murdered

She is not that beautiful on the inside.

It's too late for the US, with a rapist racist in the White House.

Hmmm, my dad was born around there about 12 years later....

This picture is very French.

'No more rhymes now, I mean it.' 'Anybody want a peanut?'

I'd love to see them all.

I'm impressed by the nurse to patient ratio!

The saddest thing.... Our economy is pushing for a repeat of those desperate times when it was a roof or food, not both.

You can just say Native American btw, tacking on Indian is not welcome. It's left over from when Columbus thought this place was India. Just use Native American or First-Nations. The US still uses Indian cause it's the US, but we've banished the offensive term here in Canada

Lovely chaps

People are really the worst beast on the planet

Amazing in its technicals for the photography technology of the era... but I cannot look at it without realizing that there are a bunch of people dying in that same moment.

My father (who faught throughout the war) attended the first few weeks of the Nurenburg trial to 'see how it was done' and then helped set up the Italian war crimes tribunal. He had PTSD afterwards.

And she’s not having it!

Dance like a butterfly. Sting like a jellyfish!

Too early for instabam and ticktoook, but a valid example of a good photo for it

Pro tip: Avoid basements.

When you get a little brother, and your parents suddenly bye all the cool toys 😅

They look so sad 🥺

I believe Dreamsworks has never actually confirmed whether this man was the inspiration for Shrek’s appearance, though the similarities are striking enough to be convincing for most people. But either way, I think he had a very sweet face, rather charming.

End of the war in Europe

Dried out cow, or bison, dung pats are a valuable source of fuel where wood is scarce.

That much nitrocellulose in one place scares me.

We kept chickens and this was one of my jobs before school.

I think that is a sod house.

She was beaten up by her husband for it. There is footage in the days after of her wincing repeatedly as she gives interviews. He was a top athlete - the above average strength and finely honed ability to direct that strength doesn't bear thinking about.

Shades of The Grapes of Wrath.

🎶I am a lineman for the county 🎶

Bought a plane in Chino, just to watch it fly

And a handsome GI in cool shades. 😍

"you have died of dysentery"

I grew up in E Africa. No gas or electricity and we used one of these.

People who are familiar with silent films remember her as a sweet, petite little "America's Sweetheart". In reality, she was one of the most powerful women in Hollywood of her time. She was a co-founder of United Artists, Hollywood's first millionaire, and an advocate for a multitude of important causes of the day.

I hope thats fading on rhe photograph, and not black mold. But im guessing the answer based on her very white linnen.
