Pablo Picasso pictured in the 1950’s with his revolvers. Picasso was born in Málaga, Spain in 1881, but due to a difficult birth was falsely pronounced stillborn by the midwife. The midwife set Picasso aside on a table whilst attending his mother, luckily Picasso’s uncle was present (who was a doctor) and was smoking a cigar and decided to blow cigar smoke in the infant Picasso’s face, to which Picasso reacted with a loud cry, proving that he was very much alive. .

Brave Greek soldiers fighting off Italian invaders during the Greco-Italian War in WW2. The Greco-Italian War began on October 28, 1940, when Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas rejected Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini’s ultimatum to permit Italy’s occupation of certain strategic points or face war. The Greeks chose to stand their ground and fight heroically. Surprisingly and heroically the underdog Greeks (with British air and supplies support) pushed back the Italians, which in turn forced Hitler to have to invade Greece. This delayed Hitler’s invasion of Russia by two to three months, which ultimately changed the outcome of the War. Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin said, “We thank the Greek People, whose resistance decided WWII…you fought unarmed and won, small against big…You gave us time to defend ourselves.” British Prime minister Winston Churchill also famously praised the Greek people in a speech, “Hence, we will not say that Greeks fight like heroes, but that heroes fight like Greeks.” .

During the wild disco days in Munich, one experienced the strangest stories in the evenings. When a famous band wasn't mingling with the crowd after their own concert, club owners tried everything to attract people. 🪩 One particularly famous venue in this regard is Crash, a Munich institution for over 55 years. Its birthday parties were especially renowned. For example, on its 40th birthday, every drink cost only 40 cents. They held contests such as the "Miss Stark Naked" competition, the ugliest person in Munich, or the woman who could eat the most sauerkraut topless – a whopping 2 pounds! 👑 One evening, the DJ announced that anyone arriving at Crash with a horse the next evening would receive a free bottle of whiskey. 🐴 Thirteen brave guests arrived on horseback; one of the horses even got to enter the club, while the others had to wait outside until their riders finished their free whiskey. 🤠 Do you remember any other stories from Crash? #culturaltourism #ilovegermany #germanylife #munichtrip #localhistory #munichmoments #munich_germany #munichmymunich #solotravellers #munichgram #instagermany #topmunichphoto #historygeek #munichlover #beautifulgermany #munichlovers #munichlifestyle #instamunich #munichlife #solotravels #citytrips #sightseeingspot #germanytoday #munich_notes #089 #mygermany #germantourism #germanblog #munichstagram #historicplace

🖼 Śmierć to bardzo życiowy temat, wszak każdy człowiek rodzi się, żyje i umiera. Nieoczywiste są jedynie okoliczności, w których nadchodzi kres żywota. To one sprawiają, że każdy koniec życia staje się wyjątkową opowieścią. Spójrzmy zatem w oczy śmierci przedstawione w malarskich wizjach. 👉 Karuzela powstała na podstawie artykułu-galerii „Opowieści o śmierci. Malarskie wizje kresu życia” autorstwa Sylwii Pawery-Pelińskiej. (Ilustracja tytułowa to obraz „Matula pomarli”, autorstwa Aleksandra Kotsisa, 1868 r., ze zbiorów Lwowskiej Galerii Sztuki im.

The Tree of Ténéré was considered to be the most isolated tree in the world. The tree survived for around 300 years in one of the harshest environments in the world. It resided in the Sahara Desert where it was the only tree for 250 miles. The tree overcame all odds by spreading it’s roots 100 ft below the surface in order to reach the water table that laid below. It was notable for being a well known landmark for travelers in a harsh and unforgiving environment. It also stood as a testament to the once green Sahara that later became the barren wasteland we know today. In 1973, a drunk driver smashed into it, snapping its trunk, killing the tree. The driver became known as the man who managed to crash into the only obstacle in miles. . . . . . . . #memes #history #historymemes #historylovers #historybuff #historymemes4life #historylesson #historygeek #romanhistory #historygram #funny #ww2memes #memesdaily #memesdaily #lol #historymeme #ww2 #ww2history #historyfun #historyisfun #romanmemes #sovietmemes #historyinpictures #historyjoke #politicalmemes #historyjokes #historydaily #explore #explorepage #dankmemes

Today’s post is of Alexander Classical School in Alexander, NY. It’s a cobblestone building that was built in 1837. It started as a private school, then became a public school, and is now the Alexander Town Hall. The town hall has a museum on the third floor as well. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. • • • • • #history #travel #traveler #traveling #photography #roadtrip #usa #historylovers #historylesson #historygram #americanhistory #travelphotography #historyphotography #instatravel #travelblog #historyblog #travelgram #historygeek #newyork #upstateny #westernny #historicplaces #rural #ruralamerica #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #geneseecounty #alexanderny

An early Mughal/Lodhi era tomb, which has been used as a dispensary since the British period, has been thankfully repaired and restored. The ugly tiles have been removed. The tomb is located near Adham Khan Tomb and Qaziyoñ Ki Masjid. The grandeur of this tomb indicates that it must have been the burial place of an important person. #hiatoria #heritagebuff #historylovers #historygeek #delhigram #delhiheritage #delhiphotography #mughalarchitecture

27 May 1942 Czechoslovak commandos Jan Kubiš and Jozef Gabčík trained in Britain for the daring assassination of SS-Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich in May 1942. (“Operation Anthropoid”) Trained by the British Special Operations Executive (SOE), the pair returned to the Protectorate, parachuting from a Handley Page Halifax (RAF 138 Squadron), on 28 December 1941. They lived in hiding, preparing for the assassination attempt. On May 27, 1942, as Heydrich’s car travelled into Prague, Czech Staff Sergeants Gabčík and Kubiš peppered the Nazi official with gunfire and tossed a hand grenade into his car. Heydrich died a week later of complications caused by an infected wound. Although “Operation Anthropoid” had succeeded, the hiding place chosen by the Czech commandos – the crypt beneath the Cathedral of Saints Cyril and Methodius – was betrayed. On June 18, 1942, 800 German troops and SS laid siege to the cathedral where Gabčík, Kubiš and five other resistance fighters were holed up. The Germans burned, flooded and fired into the crypt for three hours until the last four commandos – realizing their imminent capture – committed suicide, but not before shouting out to their oppressors: “We will not surrender. Never!” The commandos’ fellow citizens paid dearly for Heydrich’s assassination. On June 10, 1942, three days after his death, the Nazis razed the Czech town of Lidice; they killed 340 civilian residents. That September the church’s elders were tried and executed by the Gestapo. Then, at the nearby fortress of Terezin, all 263 Czechs (previously arrested for having aided the commandos) were shot to death in one day – all in reprisal.

This painting is not your typical love story. It captures an impossible choice during a horrific event in history. The love here isn't fluffy, with sunshine and rainbows. It's fierce, unwavering, and tragic. The man is Huguenot Protestant in a time where being a Protestant was considered treason. The woman is a Catholic and pleading for him to wear the white badge, the symbol of her religion that time, to shield him from the coming violence. But he refuses, steadfast in his faith, and ready to face his end. Their love is bright against the backdrop of persecution and tragedy. It's a reminder that love's strength isn't always measured by the happily-ever-afters but our devotion in the face of darkness and loss. Painting Full Name: A Huguenot, on St. Bartholomew's Day, Refusing to Shield Himself from Danger by Wearing the Roman Catholic Badge (1851–1852) What other stories of love and loss can you think of in history? #historylovers #preraphaelite #historyofart #historylesson #lovestory❤️ #humanitylove #historicalromance #historygeek

Oddly enough, there are a lot of cemeteries in Western New York that are on the National Register of Historic Places. Medina’s Boxwood Cemetery is no different. It’s a rural cemetery built on hills in a park-like setting with sandstone structures like a chapel and a mausoleum. It was added to the National Register in 2015. • • • • • #history #travel #traveler #traveling #photography #roadtrip #usa #historylovers #historylesson #historygram #americanhistory #travelphotography #historyphotography #instatravel #travelblog #historyblog #travelgram #historygeek #newyork #upstateny #westernny #historicplaces #orleanscounty #rural #ruralamerica #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces #medinany

On September 6, 1992, the decomposed body of Christopher McCandless was discovered by moose hunters just outside the northern boundary of Denali National Park in Alaska. He had died inside a rusting bus that he spent the past 110 days living in, using it as a shelter from the harsh Alaskan landscape. He was found with his meager provisions: a .22-caliber rifle; some old books; a camera and five rolls of exposed film; and a diary written in the back pages of a book that identified edible plants. His cause of death was deemed starvation and poisoning, most likely from identifying and eating the wrong plants. The book ‘Into the Wild’ written by Jon Krakauer gives a detailed account of Chris’ life and is well worth a read. There is also a film ‘Into the Wild’ which is equally as good. . #historyinpictures #historyfacts #historygeek #historybuff #historyphoto #history #historygram #historycolored #historylovers #historicalphotos #historical #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #jonkrakauer #intothewild #seanpenn #usa #america #christophermccandless #magicbus #alaska #hiking #camping #fairbanks #hobo #hunting #magicbus142

This Rhode Island button was found on the 14 March 1862 on the New Bern battlefield where the 4th and 5th Rhode Island regiments made a successful charge that was initiated and led by Isaac Peace Rodman of South Kingstown, RI. New Bern would be one of the first significant victories for the Union against the Confederacy and would help propel General Burnside to higher command. Rodman would be made a General as a result of his actions that day. Sadly, Rodman would be killed in action just six months later at Antietam. This button was recovered decades ago before Antietam became a park. It was donated by the man who found it, Paul Oliveira. At the Varnum Armory Museum, we display the sword he carried at New Bern as well as a Confederate artillery guidon flag his men captured in that attack. #varnumarmory #varnumcontinentals #USmilitary #militaryhistory #oceanstate #rhodeislandlife #rhodylife #rhodeisland #eastgreenwichri #eastgreenwich #UShistory #historylover #historynerd #americanhistory #historygeek #historybuff

Pandora was the first woman created by the gods, Zeus ordered Hephaestus to create Pandora to punish humanity since Prometheus had previously tricked Zeus by giving fire to humans. Each of the gods contributed something to Pandora’s creation. Athena, the goddess of wisdom, clothed her and taught her various feminine skills. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, gave her beauty, while Hermes, the messenger of the gods, endowed her with cunning and deceitful traits. After Pandora was created, she was sent to Earth, accompanied by a jar (often mistranslated as a box) which contained all the evils of the world. Curiosity got the better of Pandora, and despite being warned not to open the jar, she eventually succumbed to temptation and lifted the lid. As a result, all the evils, such as disease, famine, and suffering, escaped into the world, spreading chaos and misery among humanity. Pandora quickly closed the jar, but it was too late to contain the evils that had been unleashed. Only one thing remained in the jar—hope. Some interpretations suggest that hope was left inside to serve as a consolation for humanity. The story of Pandora serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of curiosity and disobedience, as well as an explanation for the existence of suffering and hope in the world. #greekhistory #historybuff #ancienthistory #photography #Sparta #archeology #ancientgreekhistory #history #Greece #Greek #Athens #Art #Travel #ancientgreece #medieval #medschool #instahistory #historygeek #historychannel #romanempire #historylesson #greekmythology #mythology

We're happy to announce that the long-term loan of this amazing American flag has now become a permanent donation to the Varnum Armory Museum. This flag was carried at the head of the US 3rd Army under the famed General "Black Jack" Pershing when they crossed the border into Germany to act as the US occupation force following the Armistice that brought World War I to a close. Several years ago, Varnum Member Tom Gardiner placed this on loan to the Armory. Since then, he and his family decided to donate this important piece of history to the Varnum Armory Museum. We plan update this exhibit with new professionally-produced signage in time for the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice this November. #varnumarmory #varnumcontinentals #USmilitary #militaryhistory #oceanstate #rhodeislandlife #rhodylife #rhodeisland #eastgreenwichri #eastgreenwich #UShistory #historylover #historynerd #americanhistory #historygeek #historybuff #worldwar1 #ww1 #firstworldwar #americanflag

In 1977 Robyn Davidson embarked on a 9 month long journey across the Australian outback with her 4 camels and dog. From Brisbane, she was 27 years old at the time of her 1,700 mile journey, starting in Alice Springs and finally ending at the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean. National Geographic photographer Rick Smolan (see last photo) met up with Robyn 5 times along her route to take photographs for the famous magazine. The story has now been turned into a movie called ‘Tracks’, starring Adam Driver and Mia Wasikowska. . #historyinpictures #historyfacts #historygeek #historybuff #historyphoto #history #historygram #historycolored #historylovers #historicalphotos #historical #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #australia #australian #australiangirl #camel #indianocean #ocean #outbackaustralia #outback #hiking #nationalgeographic #1970s #70s #70sfashion #70sstyle

Saturday in Portsmouth: We went to see the USS Albacore. It was awesome. As a military geek, I really enjoyed seeing the inside of this historic submarine. In fact, I was having so much fun that I forgot to take pictures inside. Afterwards, we visited Pierce Island and had a nice lunch at Gino’s Chowder and Sandwich Shop before walking around downtown Portsmouth for a while. Thank goodness that it wasn’t raining—finally. #ussalbacore #ussalbacoremuseum #portsmouth #militarygeek #historygeek #historynerd

3/6: Ushaw not-a-House was built as a university. . In the early 1800s, Oxford and Cambridge required that entrants were legitimate and Protestant. The Catholic refugees in Durham wanted their sons to be able to obtain an equal education, as well as Catholic men all over England. . They designed the building to look like a country house, with a grand classical facade and gables. The original building is in the shape of a square, with a courtyard in the center. They planted a formal garden out front and developed the property as a country estate. If any carriages of the haut ton strayed off the Great North Road and happened to see Ushaw House, they would smile and nod at the familiar evidence of English wealth. But from the beginning, the elegant dining hall was for professors, and the upstairs bedrooms were for students. The chapel blossomed off the back side of the square, far from prying eyes. It was always a university, and it was always designed to look like it was not. . . Pictures: 1. The professors' dining hall at Ushaw House. This was my favorite room; I could just see the camaraderie and conversations. 2. King's College Chapel, Cambridge University. Catholics not allowed. (Picture from Cambridge history web site.)

In the 1500s, Diane De Poitiers was a mistress of King Henry II of France. She was so obsessed with preserving her youthful looks that she regularly drank gold to try and maintain them. Needless to say this did not work.

DID YOU KNOW? There are two memorials dedicated to Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Washington DC. This is the first one made while he was still in office. He only agreed to this on the condition that it be no larger than his desk. The posthumous memorial covers 7.5 acres. Kinda dope working from a Presidential Desk Memorial this morning. #historygeek

A change of perspective from the usual iconic photo that is posted on instagram (swipe to see). The photos show 17-year-old communist party member, Marina Ginestà on the rooftop of Hotel Colón, Barcelona during the Spanish civil war in 1936. This was actually the only time she held a firearm, as she was only a reporter and a translator assisting Mikhail Koltsov, a correspondent of the Soviet newspaper Pravda. Ginestà was born in Toulouse, France, to a working class family, and moved to Spain at the age of 11. .

Rated as one of the greatest football players to ever play the game, this is Alfredo Di Stéfano. Although he is most remembered for his time in Spain with Real Madrid, Stéfano was actually born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and is one of the few players to represent 3 different nations (Argentina, Colombia, Spain). In 1947 he began his career with River Plate club and the Argentinian national team, until a players strike in 1949 caused many Argentine players to hop across the border into Colombia to play, it was during this time that the Colombians persuaded Stéfano to represent Colombia internationally, even though he held no Colombian nationality. In 1953 Stéfano joined Real Madrid in Spain where he enjoyed his best years until 1964, during his time in Madrid he gained Spanish citizenship and played 31 times for Spain. He retired in 1966 having played a couple years with RCD Espanyol. . #historyinpictures #historyfacts #historygeek #historybuff #historyphoto #history #historygram #historycolored #historylovers #historicalphotos #historical #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #argentina🇦🇷 #argentina #football #soccer #buenosaires #realmadrid #madrid #españa #spain #spain🇪🇸 #columbia #losblancos #blanco #argentino

A Date For Your Diaries! This Friday 24th May. Tickets are selling fast, available only from the Museum of Dartmoor Life. Our first evening talk comes from Helen JR Bruce. Helen is an author, folklorist and oral storyteller living on the magical Somerset levels. Her lifelong fascination with Dartmoor has manifested in the Heat of the Hunt trilogy, her lively reworking of folklore set in the modern day. An advocate for Sacred Earth Activism, she sees story as the liminal space between humans and landscape, and as a universal language which allows for communication between the two. She hopes to inspire people and communities to continue sharing stories and finding new stories in their landscapes. Tickets for all talks £6 each per person to be purchased in advance from the museum. Friday 24th May 7-9pm Talk by Storyteller Helen Bruce – Black Dogs and Demonic Hounds of Dartmoor: From Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to the modern Heat of the Hunt trilogy, the canine apparitions of Dartmoor have inspired countless stories. Join Helen JR Bruce as she explores the Beast of Dartmoor in the context of other Black Dog manifestations across the UK, unravelling complex and contrasting portrayals of the Black Dog as a demonic apparition, a soul guide and a ghost. #blackdogs #mythsandlegends #magic&myth #museum #museums #museumcollection #yourmuseumyourhistory #dartmoor #history #historylover #historygeek #heritage #okehampton #lovedartmoor . #localhistory #localhistorymatters #visitdevon #dartmoorlife #gallery #visitokehampton #museumsmatter #museumsofinstagram #treasure #visitdartmoor #dnpa #ptdevonsupportslocal #museumlife

Definitely the most secluded monastic ruin in Wales or England. Almost certainly inaccessible to most vehicles in a bad winter. With an attached hotel that's straight out of an Agatha Christie novel and a tiny bar in the undercroft of the old priory, this is about as quirky and timeless as it gets. Best approached from the Offa’s Dyke Path for that true pilgrimage vibe. And stay in the restored priory tower adjacent to the hotel for maximum haunted vibes. Good vibes all round ✌🏽 #ruinedabbey #ruin #ruined #historylover #historygeek #medieval #medievalhistory #medievalarchitecture #monmouthshire #folkhorror #weirdwalk #offasdykepath #wales #explorewales #visitwales #discoverwales #walesadventure #beautifulwales #lovewales #walesphotography #cymru #cymruambyth
