Maybe not a photo that shook the world but surely a spot that changed the world.
It's Westerplatte in Gdansk, Poland. This is where the first battle of world war 2 was held, and also the hometown of my parents.

Jesus Christ, just did some serious research on both the war and the massacres.
Fuck those Serbian scumbags.

Don't forget though, the actions of a few do not represent the many.

Trotsky, in death and in life.

Lenin giving a fiery speech before a crowd in Moscow in 1920.
The "Second October Revolution" of 1993. The Russian White House, home to parliament. Two years after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the communist-majority legislature attempted to out Yeltsin using their lawful powers. Yeltsin attempted to out them using his. They refused to leave the White House. Thousands rioted and demonstrated in the streets in support of the Supreme Soviet and socialism, leading to the military under Yeltsin bringing troops and tanks into the streets. Firece street fighting went on for days. The confrontation ended when Yeltsin's tanks fired on the White House, giving it the damage seen there, and troops flooded the building.
"According to government estimates, 187 people were killed and 437 wounded, while sources close to Russian communists put the death toll at as high as 2,000."
The 1979 Iranian Revolution.

This is the body of 14 year old Emmett Till. His body was found in river with an industrial fan tied around his neck three days after he was beaten and shot in the head for whistling at a white woman in Mississippi, 1955.
This is what he looked like before he was killed btw.

I'm all for casual racism, I've got black friends who call me cracker and I call them N-, we mess about all the time... But when you see what these people did to a kid, just for wolf whistling at a white woman, I mean that's a compliment... The kid was 14. The grown men beating and shooting this kid don't deserve the title of being "men" they're just overgrown children who's minds didn't mature past infant school.This is the body of 14 year old Emmett Till.

that's great and all but why even mention that
-
General Mladic comforting a boy, who his forces later killed.
Edited:
I completely forgot he was arrested in 2011! So much happened in that year, you forget important stuff like that.
Wasn't it us Dutchman supposed to protect those civillians?
God I'm ashamed for that shit.. ):
-
Same reason you went out of your way to mention that I mentioned it.
-
Also, people should post look at the size of a picture and see if it fits on a page before posting. These unnecessarily huge pictures are driving me up the wall!

I see what you did there.Also, people should post look at the size of a picture and see if it fits on a page before posting. These unnecessarily huge pictures are driving me up the wall!

Here's another photo showing the opposite side of the wall, if anyone is interested.

I find it amusing that there are now sections of the Berlin Wall in the bathrooms of the Main Street Station Restaurant in Las Vegas that you can pee at

TBH, the UN peacekeepers are kind of a fucking joke, what with this, stupidly giving up their weapons in Rwanda only to be macheted in the face. They'd do more good if they didn't exist.
-
I expected to be inspired when I entered this thread (pictures of huge construction projects and human accomplishments in general). Instead, I left with a frown.
To be honest, I'm still shaking from that picture on the first page That stare.. My god.
-
Of all the things here, watching a guy burn himself tp death is probably the worst. Terrible way to dieTibetan protester who set himself on fire.

The article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-injuries.html
It would be nice if everyone could post the source for further reading.

More of Japan, I've been looking for this video for a while now. It shows just how quickly that tsunami took over acres and acres of land.

Sorry it seems i was completely wrong earlier about the Yugoslav wars, i had a long talk with my father over the phone and i really picked his brain and here is how it goes. also more pictures of the conflict would be appreciated.
First, Slovenia tries to break off of Yugoslavia, which causes the so called leader of Yugoslavia Serbia to mobilize its troops stationed in Slovenia, Slovenia in turn mobilizes their "home guard" there were tanks placed in roads and roadblocks established, total deaths were somewhere around 10-12.
The the Serbian "Yugoslavia" troops, pulled out of Slovenia once their declaration of independence was declared. The troops pulled out to Croatia, where heavy fighting took place on the borders to Serbia, The Serbian troops pulled further out to the edge of the Serbian/Croatian border.
From there Bosnia and Herzegovina decided that they were having a crisis with religion, basically in the city of Sarajevo a very heated situation was going on, there were Muslims, Catholics, Jews and Christians all living in the same city, mosques, synagogues, and churches all not 200m from each other, Serbia pulled all its "people" basically the Catholics and Christians out, and began shelling (very heavily) civilian districts of Muslims and Jews.
This is just an outline of the major events, there was still thousands of war crimes committed, but this is the basics of the events that occurred.
-
For the record, Catholics are Christians.
-
Yeah, sorry about that I just noticed, I meant to say other branches of Christianity, no idea why I wrote that,
-
Not as important as a lot of the photos in this thread, but still more so than others.

First television appearance of the president (Truman)
Edited:
The time Kennedy broke Nixon. People who listened to the debates on radio thought Nixon did the best answering, but on television, he was sweating like a pig due to the hot lights in the studio, making him look terrible - and so people watching the debate on television thought Nixon was a weak, sickly person to run for president.
-
Not quite, the Bosniak Serbs were Orthodox Christians, your thinking of the Croat's who were Catholic. The Bosnian conflict was pretty much a three way bitter war between the three: Croatian Catholics Orthodox Serbs and Bosnian Muslims. It got very bloody.
-
Well screw it, I'm not posting any more content. I have a lot of clocks. So many clocks....
-
Yeah so bad in fact that even now Bosnia and Herzegovina has no solid government, it is governed by the UN with representatives from each religious/ regional faction. As you can imagine they don't ever come to any from of consensus because they always disagree with each other
And what do you mean? please post more, the more pictures the better!
-
Not all serbians are bad.
I lived with a serbian family in an exchange programme. They are a really nice and warming people.
Except for the hooligans, they are bad. pretty bad.
-
I agree with you, which is why I said fuck those Serbian scumbags.
Honestly though what I said is probably way too broad
-
I asked serbians (serbians i knew wouldn't react in a bad way) about the massacres.
I sensed a great deal of hatred against their own military when they talked about them.
I can tell minor details about how they feel if i find anything relevant to provide information on.
-
I know a Serb that fought in the Kosovo, he's pretty bitter about the whole situation, he was too young to have fought in Bosnia and the breakup, but he's really a nice guy and we both are in the same business which is how we got to know each other along with our similar history, I like to think I know a bit about the Balkans and I can safely say that it's the most messy bunch of conflicts I've ever studied.
