Yes not the only case where the State has used extreme violence in history, one was the Peterloo massacre a hundred years before in Manchester only twenty miles from my home.Did you know about the workers' demonstration in Glasgow in 1919.
Protesters demanded a 40-hour work week, but the response was a crackdown with batons and the arrest of labor leaders.
The next day, troops, tanks and artillery were brought into the city.
This is how the capitalists fear the workers.
funnyA serb, a russian and a czech met after the war and began to reminisce about the war.
The serb told how he had fought in a partisan unit in the mountains.
The russian recalled his underground work in a nazi-occupied town.
The czech listened to this, sighed and replied: You were lucky, the germans forbade us to do all this....
The pros and cons of integrated schools aside, there was absolutely no excuse for that cruel prank!A stuffed negro in front of a school entrance as a protest against black integration, Texas, 1956.
Was that George Soros getting the crap beat out of him?
Soviet officers look at paintings taken by the Germans from Soviet museums and abandoned by them during the retreat.
For information: before the war there were 70 thousand art objects in the Gatchina Palace, and after the liberation there were only 16 thousand left. Another 11,000 were taken from German prisoners, and the rest disappeared in Europe to private collections.
It looks a bit creepy in black and white, but these are just sculptures hidden in the ground. Before the German occupation, museum staff buried everything of value in the Lower Park of Petrodvorets, and in 1944 they dug it up.
A man with a bag over his head, being led under arms, is a guarded valuable informant accompanied by Allied intelligence officers. He is led past a line of German prisoners of war, among whom he must secretly identify high-ranking Nazi officials in hiding. Oslo, Norway, 1945.
Tank and MLRS symbiosis. It is reported that despite the presence of missiles, the Sherman fully retained the armament of a conventional tank, making it the only MLRS capable of firing directly on the battlefield. The crew could fire the rockets from inside the tank, and only had to leave the front line to reload.
1941 and some anti-war, judging from the photo, not crowded, but still a demonstration in New York City.
The world's smallest skyscraper
In 1912, oil was found in the vicinity of Wichita Falls, causing a dramatic influx of settlers into the city. In addition to housing, there was a need for office buildings. At that time, engineer J. McMahon proposed a design for a 480-foot-tall building, requesting $200,000 for the work.
A year later, construction was completed, but the building was only 39 foot high.
It turned out that the engineer had specified the height in inches rather than feet in the project, which the clients did not pay attention to. As a result, the investors' attempts to get their money back through the courts were unsuccessful.
