This is such a sad picture, knowing all of those women lost the freedoms they were accustomed to and became little more than property

Stunning Photograph

He deserved all those medals

This tickles me pink every time I see it. And a history professor is the cherry on top

WOW.

they are so cute together :)

If only that bridge could talk, what amazing stories it would tell!

Bieszczady, one of the wildest and most beautiful places in Poland

Say what you want about the Queen but she was cast iron. She said on her 21st birthday that "my life whether it be long or short will be devoted to your service." She certainly kept that promise.

Picture is of the Exposition Universelle, which was attended by more than 2,000,000 people.

Gorgeous photo.

If I see it isolated, I absolutely have to love the gechnology used there. But, unfortunately, I can't ONLY see it that way. German aircraft engines in WW2 had single-lever steering (throttle only, so to say, ignition, mix, compressor if present were regulated by a mechanical device on the pilot's behalf), direct injection, and some 5 liters more displacement. British had traditional carbs, but, as a german, I'm more than glad the British won, the German lost. Because the ideology of that time's germany shall lose anywhere, everywhere. But the Tech, the same the tech of today, of the USSR, China, and all our own Evil Empires, still, is technology that serves a purpose, and development during wartime often made it work better than prior... Radar would've been invented a lot later without the war, same with jet engines - story I love: Both main inventors from England (Whittle) and Germany (von Ohein) became friends later on, after the war. Cos we engineers gotta be role models! Who else?

Fanaticism and propaganda needlessly killed a lot of people. This one was lucky, though he might not have seen it that way at the time. I think a lot of Japanese were ashamed for not having died.

I found him really dashing and attractive. Loved the movie "The King and I".

Living in a sate that marijuana is legal, and has been for about 10 years, I forget it used to be illegal and still is in some states (looking at you Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Indiana, and North Carolina). Weed is by far less problematic that alcohol, and in states where it is fully legal, there are 25% less opioid related deaths than stated that marijuana is illegal. Not to mention The tax revenue it brings in! It is time the fed decriminalize it and stop putting people in jail for long a*s sentences over weed!

The expected lifespan of a soldier during that battle was twenty-four hours. One and a half million soldiers died during the battle.

I’d like to see a documentary about how this bridge was constructed. I think it would be riveting.

I believe they were a prototype and never made it into circulation. They look so cool though.

awwww it's such a good boi ❤️

one might say that they were his life savings

It's all so well preserved, especially the horses!

Holy s**t...

Loved the recent film

How do the husbands know which one is which? 😂

Smart. If it was just a bit wider, it'd be kind of cozy.

Drink Coke! It's for the birds!

Shifty looking fella even back then

I hadn't realised he's so short, 169,2 cm. What is it with short men & violence?

Bastard

Don't show them young Stalin's.

Wouldn’t trust the guy as far as I could throw him…

He was shorter than I thought...

Who won??

Looks like a battleship game

Upvote for cute doggo (and WWII hero, obvs).

That's an unbelievable amount of football going on there

They've been busy. 5 merchant vessels torpedoed, 1 warship torpedoed, 1 enemy vessel damaged,2 cloak+dagger operations, 2 surface gun actions, and 1 beach marking operation.

I miss drive-ins. They were so much fun.

whoa!

Hold the explosion just like that, ok, just another hour.

As opposed to all those non-Japanese samurai...

He doesn't seem to be very bothered, just following orders.

Unfortunately, as this was once considered true, new evidence has suggested that the humans are more likely to get sick in cold temperatures and the cold is more likely to weaken the immune response and system, specifically the nasal and upper airway defense (which is our first and most important defense) A drop in nasal tissue temperature by 5⁰ c kills nearly 50% of the billions of virus and bacteria-fighting cells in the nostrils and upper airway. It also kills of important RNA, necessary for helping identify viruses and bacteria and getting the immune system to respond accordingly, in the cells that survive. Your blood vessels also restrict throughout your body, accusing white blood cells to become sluggish and slower to respond. Vitamin D levels are also lower in the winter and cold weather lands, which also effects the immune system. The other factor is that viruses love cooler, dry air and are much more prevalent during cold weather. That being said, it doesn't mean that we should all stay inside and never be cold. With proper precautions, like hand washing, increased vitamin C and D intake, and general caution around people who are sick, you will be just fine, but sleeping, or being in the cold does not benefit the immune system.

Yep, a aunt of my mother did that

can someone explain how/ why they drew on it?

What a turn to the worse :(

I bet the secret handshake was "milkshake"

I went to both Azerbaijan and Armenia within the span of about a month and heard very different stories about the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute

I learned a lot about the history of Derry from the show Derry Girls. I know it is a fictional comedy, but being from the US this part of history is not well known to us, and the show was enough to perk my curiosity and start researching it. It is so incredibly crazy how all this has been going on into today. If you all want to learn more, the books Say Nothing , The Troubles, Did Ye Hear Mammy Died, and That's That were all very good and informative in different ways and voices. If your not a reader, I recommend watching The Wind that Shakes the Barley, Belfast, I Dolours, The Devil's Own, Hunger, The Images you Missed, and I am going to throw in The Crying Game because it is a great yet crazy movie. (if anyone lives in Great Britain or Northern Ireland and has other recommendations of books or movies, please add,or even better, share your own experience! And if I recommend a movie that is very inaccurate, please let me know)
