>>4892822is it true that that pic was staged?
>>4894108It wasn't the first flag the marines planted on Iwa Jima, but it was close enough.
Half of those guys died on the island.One died back home of exposure while dead drunk.
>>4894108>that pic was staged?No. Some General wanted the actual first flag (much smaller) so sent a detail to go replace with with a bigger flag. This is that flag. The battle went on for 3 more months I think.

>>4895201my pleasure.You've probably heard of it, but there is a good movie about this exact event called "Flags of our Fathers" directed by Clint Eastwood. He also made a sequel from the Japanese perspective called "Letters from Iwo Jima"When I was younger I spoke to many Iwo Jima veterans. It sounded like pure hell on Earth. pic related is the first flag

>>4892817Were these spikes actually like this or were they submerged? What's going on here?
>>4903167La Rochelle was a city being sieged by the french, that massive wall of stone and wooden spikes was built to close up a channel leading to it, in order to avoid english ships trying to deliver supplies to the city.They also dug a massive trench around it and built like 10 forts and a bunch of outposts.
>>4903184Thanks. I knew it was the English trying to help the French protestants but these spikes just looked odd.
>>4900608Wow! This is good af! Sure beats bananas taped to walls in modern "art" galleries.

>>4898749what's the aura here?
>>4905204you're unable to deduce its position from the perspective... something that gets lost when working for years for the DHS. Welcome to the board, Officer. Are you on a break?
>>4894108oh, yeah. both were done for propaganda purposes. they didn't get a cool photo the first time, so they sent another team later. there were a ton of photographers present and even a cameraman with color film. if you know how rare color film was at the time, you'll know that both instances were planned well ahead of time.
>>4908832damn, Son, aura goes hard... greetings from Azerbaijan.
>>4909675np
>>4906273Well, I'd say, you're not wrong and not right: Yes, the position might not be analytically determinable, as the mounting point is not seen. But it's a Triple-A painting so the painter probably didn't completely fuck u, so, yeah, it's indeed hanging fairly low.The reason for this might be that it's an oil lamp and your grandma could walk under it and still light it up with whatever lighter gizmo they used in the Germany of 1890ish.Not everything needs to end in shizophrenia.
>>4897384not really. He really does pump his fist and shout "fight" after being shot. But it's not as cool in the full video; cause he does it after being covered by agents for a minute or so, then he gets the all-clear that the shooter is dead, told to go to his car, and he asks for his shoes a bunch, then he does the iconic fist pump on his way to the car.

Diary page of one of the surviving members of the Donner Party. Of note:>Mrs. Murphy said here yesterday that thought she would commence on Milton and eat him. I don't think that she has done so yet, it is distressing.>The Donners told the California folks that they would commence to eat the dead people 4 days ago, if they did not succeed that day or next in finding their cattle under ten or twelve feet of snow... I suppose they have done so ere this time.

>>4955939No, they didn't. The film developed itself from the mere contact with lava and copies of the photo somehow landed all over the nearby cities
>>4955293>>4955295This is an incredible story I never heard of before, thanks for letting me discover it. I'm baffled nobody made a film out of it in 100+ years, this is easily kino material
>>4961179I'm guessing you're not American, it's so well known here it's rarely covered in media because everyone knows the story even if they don't know the details. The Donner name is so associated with cannibalism that it's a common joke punchline, which is kinda sad considering how horrific the story really is. I always thought it would have made a great miniseries, or be season 2 of The Terror since it would take place at the exact same time in history as the first season and have a pretty similar story. But there is so much suffering and dying of children I doubt anyone will ever touch it. If you're interested in the story, I read The Best Land Under Heaven which is pretty detailed even if the author is a faggot. A lot of people also recommend The Indifferent Stars Above but I haven't read it. There's also an old PBS documentary that's very good and surprisingly disturbing. Sort of related: Portrait of Olive Oatman, a pioneer girl who was enslaved by hostile Indians after her family was murdered. Eventually she was sold to another tribe who took her in as one of their own, tattooing her face in their tradition.
>>4955488The mentally ill younger son of a Texas oil family shot and wounded President Reagan, shot and turned his press secretary into a vegetable, among others. The elder brother of the shooter was having dinner with Vice President G.H.W. Bush that day. Federal charges against the Hinkley family business went away right after the shooting. If the shooting was successful, then former CIA director and MK Ultra final boss Bush would have become president.Bush was also in Dallas for the shooting of Kennedy, along with Nixon.Really jogs the noggin.
>>4961483>be rich oil family>plot to kill the PotUS with the VP>VP happens tp be CIA glowie and "MK Ultra final boss">we have plenty of brainwashed manchurian candidates to pick>chose son instead>and btw, let's schedule a business meeting with VP at the same time of the shooting, we'll need an alibi afterall...Yeah, soooo logic! lmao
>>4961241I'm an eurofag, but still weird that I never noticed it quoted in some film or series, since it's that well known. Probably one of those weird Baader Meinhoff effects in which now I'll notice it everywhere>season 2 of The TerrorDefinition of missed opportunity here. What were they thinking with that Japanese plot?>>4961241>If you're interested in the story, I read The Best Land Under Heaven which is pretty detailed even if the author is a faggot. A lot of people also recommend The Indifferent Stars Above but I haven't read it. Thank you for the advice. After I read about it in wikipedia I was looking for the oldest books telling the story (not the first hand diary which has a limited pov, but maybe the first general recollection of what happened), but your suggestions are appreciated>There's also an old PBS documentary that's very good and surprisingly disturbing.This sounds cool, hope I could find it online in a decent quality
>>4961539>never noticed it quoted in some filmOk nevermind, I've just read that the opening scene of the Shining has a dialogue quoting it. Obviously it just flew over my head since I didn't know the story before
>>4961539>I was looking for the oldest books telling the story (not the first hand diary which has a limited pov, but maybe the first general recollection of what happened)Be careful with that, it was widely publicized in the 1800s but there was a lot of embellishment and outright lying about what happened as was the style at the time. A lot of the survivors weren't entirely truthful about it both from trauma and not wanting to be associated with cannibalism. The newer books do a good job of citing sources and comparing contemporary accounts to get the most likely truth. Only bad part is that being a modern publication, the Best Land author can't help but whine about how racist the settlers were at every opportunity, even though he admits the Donner Party were always peaceful to the Indians and can blame a lot of their fate on constant Indian raids and livestock theft. Not sure if the other book suffers the same problem.
>>4961574>whine about how racist the settlers wereThat's what I was fearing about the newer texts. I saw that McGlashan's "History of the Donner" party was the most widespread book, reprinted for several editions during a span of 70 years. He was the one who interviewed a lot of survivors to find out about the cannibalism part. Another "classic" book is probably the 1936 "Ordeal by Hunger" by George Stuart. Idk, but I'd surely look into the story tho, thanks again anon
>>4896842LOL

Muslim Prince Boabdil handing over the keys of the city of Granada to the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. It was the end of Islamic rule of Spain and the Reconquista. The birth of a Nation and an Empire that would rule the world for 150 years.
Juan of Austria, illegitimate son, meets his father, the Emperor Charles V, in Yuste in 1558. Juan would become a center piece and most trusted counsellor to his brother, King Philip II of Spain.
Joanna of Castille, third child of the ‘Catholic Kings’, Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile, under whose rule the various territories of the Iberian peninsula were united for the first time, giving birth to Spain as we know it today. She married Philip I ‘the Handsome’ and fell madly in love. Upen his early death, she carried his body around Spain for over 2 years, for everyone to pay tribute, eventually turning mad. She was declared unfit to rule.
Spain was actually the thorn in Napoleon's side. After an early occupation he put his brother Joseph Bonaparte on the throne but on 2nd of May 1808 an Uprising took place in Madrid forcing Napoleon to personally lead an army to retake Madrid. Napoleon always said Spain (and not Russia)had been his great mistake.
French contribution to the US independence is well known and exaggerated. In contrast, very few people know that Spain had, by far a bigger contribution with Bernardo Galvez, then Governor of Luisiana. Although Spain was not a formal ally of the United States during the American Revolution, it did take a stand, providing money and supplies to the American revolutionaries and launching military campaigns against British settlements on the Mississippi River, preventing Britain from concentrating all of its North American military and naval forces on the fight against the Continental Army.
Baptism procession of Prince Juan, son of the Catholic Monarchs , through the streets of Seville in 1478. Juan was the heir to the kingdom of Castile and Aragon. Sickly from the first day of his life, John married Margaret of Austria at the age of 18, and unfortunately for everyone, he died only six months after their wedding.
