The horrors and tragedy of World War II are years before most of us were born, and even though the destruction of the war and the aftermath of it set the stage for major events even now some 8 decades later, many people don’t understand how the echoes of the war haunted the world for lifetimes. The scars left by World War II, emotional and physical, took many long years to fade. Some wounds never healed, and some of those who committed acts bloody and dark never faced judgement for their crimes. Escaped, hidden by distance, time, and help from unexpected places these men were wanted for crimes of war beyond scope. When the war ended in Europe there were many members of Nazi Germany and the Axis Powers that were to be tried for their actions during and before the war. Many of those people escaped arrest or even confinement with the help of “ratlines”, a series of escape routes for Nazis and Fascists after WWII. Often these ratlines led to South America. #nazis #history #holocaust #weirdhistory #historychannel #historydocumentaries #nazi DISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Civilizations such as the Greek, Egyptians, Romans, Vikings and Chinese dynasties amongst others had slaves who largely slotted into one of four categories: chattel, bonded, forced labour etc. As long as we have written records of humanity, we have evidence of slavery. From ancient civilizations to modernday, humans have always subjugated and enslaved one another. Whether it's because of the colour of our skin, our wealth, where we were born or simply due to who’s in charge, there have been instances of slavery across every single country and culture.Today we shall discuss a brief time line of slavery in chapter 2 of the A Brief History Of The Origins Of Slavery. In this video we shall look at how different era's and nations held and treated their slaves. We shall also look into the horrifying aspects of slavery including the transatlantic slave trade.#slavery #history #transatlanticslavetrade #ottomanslaveiceland #whiteslaves #ottomanslavetradeScriptwriter: Natasha Martellhttps://7strangethings.com/Voiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.com Timecode:00:00 Start 01:09 The Ancient World01:30 Chattel slavery02:27 Bonded slavery03:15 Forced labour04:04 One of the worst kinds of slavery05:16 The FirstEver Abolition of Slavery 06:06 Slavery In The Middle Ages And Beyond09:23 The Transatlantic Slave Trade11:22 Global Slavery AbolishmentCopyright © 2021 A Day In History.

The Americans have long been thought to be the latecomers to the habituation of modern humans. But what if that wasn’t true, and humans were in North and South America tens of thousands of years before we thought they were. What kind of lives did they lead, where did they come from, where did they go, why aren’t they still here? These are huge questions and maybe we will find some answers as we trace history back as far as we can go. About 13 thousand years ago in the fossil record, there appears a series of archaeological evidence pointing toward a culture that existed in North America, Central America, and even into South America. This culture was largely identified due to the type of spearhead point used in hunting, this specific type of spearhead became known as a Clovis Point, named for a town near the initial discovery. First found in the 1930’s, the Clovis became the prevalent contenders for the first humans to come to the Americas. It was thought that before the Clovis there were no humans, or any previous branch of our evolutionary tree, on either the North or South American continents. This theory became so popular it was thought fact, and became eventually known as the Clovisfirst hypothesis. #clovisfirst #ancienthumans #history #grahamhancock #firsthumans #iceage #clovisfirstdebunkedScriptwriter: Marco PardoVoiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.com Sources: https://shrib.com/#Jad7ppm4EATimecode:00:00 Intro01:04 The Clovis First Hypothesis02:16 The Clovis Conundrum 03:56 The Plausible05:46 The “Are You Sure About That?”Copyright © 2021 A Day In History.

Homo habilis is one of the first members chronologically of the Homo family. It stands at the base of our family tree and is considered one of the first real tool users. At one point thought the be the direct ancestor of modern humans; the importance of a proven, evidenced beginning point to our evolutionary branch cannot be overstated. Whether that is Homo habilis is, as always, debated. When we discuss the beginnings of human evolution we go back millions of years. When we have that much time to look across science does the best it can. Theories are made and debated, evidence is reexamined, and what we think we know is overturned. We have mentioned in previous videos that covered other hominins that science doesn’t have the full story yet and we try to take into consideration the new information as its revealed.Before on this channel, we've discussed different archaic human species like Denisovans, homo Erectus in Asia, Neanderthals in Western and Central Eurasia and the modernday human, homo sapiens, in Africa. Let's jump into today's video as we discuss A Brief History Of The Homo Species That Changed Human Evolution Forever: Homo Habilis.#homohabilis #evolution #history #denisovans #neanderthals #humanancestors #homoerectus #extinction #ancienthumans Scriptwriter: Marco PardoVideo Editor & Motion Graphics: Ravi ChauhanVoiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.com Sources:Harmand, S.; Lewis, J.

The Great Depression in the United States of America, commenced very suddenly with the crash to the stock market in 1929. This sent the country into a severe economic crisis which lasted from 1929 until 1939, the effects of which saw people suddenly losing their jobs, income, homes and overall livelihoods. Up to one quarter of the population became unemployed and for others, wages were cut up to 60% or hours were significantly reduced. This crisis affected the middleclass as well as the workingclass as it affected urban and rural areas alike, even the uppermiddle class employment suffered, with professions in medicine or law (amongst others) dropping incomes by up to 40%.Nationwide there was of course an overwhelming lack of money for food and droughts in certain areas affected farming – thus there was on overall lack of food. Lets take a more magnified look at the lives of families during the great depression era.#thegreatdepression #history #historychannel #weirdhistory #lifeduringgreatdepressionDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Homo Naledi – does it form part of our earliest ancestors or is it simply a different species, a close relative alongside our ancestors? Can we with any credibility and surety say that Homo Naledi formed part of the evolution process of modern humans or was it merely a different species within the Homo genome, which followed its own parallel branch? These questions lead to a far greater question, one about the very origins of our species and the credibility of human evolution as we have come to know it – have we in fact evolved at all in the way that scientists claim that we have, or is the story of our origins vastly different to anything that has been propagated?As we learn about Homo Naledi, we will attempt to formulate some answers to these questions, or at the least theories that could hopefully one day lead us to those answers. Let us commence our journey of discovery by unveiling who/what Homo Naledi is.#homonaledi #homosapiens#history #neaderthals #humanancestors #homoerectus #humanevolution #iceage#denisovansDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

When Did Slavery Start? The Origins of Slavery.The history of slavery is as long as the history of humanity and spans almost every single culture and ethnicity. As long as humans have had civilisation, we’ve had ways to subjugate each other. Basically, we all suck. Welcome to A Day In History! Long before the ancient Greeks, Romans, Persians and other civilisations, were even older ones, with few surviving records. Like the Mesopotamians.This civilization gives us our first known records of slavery in law, although even these glimpses of over 4000 years into the past suggest that slavery is much older than the written proof we have today. Fragments of other texts have mentioned slaves in these civilizations, and earlier ones, but the legal records we’ll be looking at in this video are the ones from where we can distinguish the most information. So, what are the first recorded instances of slavery? Let’s take a look and don’t forget to check out part 2 for a brief timeline of slavery all the way from these ancient records to modern day. The First Evidence of Slavery: PreWritten RecordsIn early civilisations, there are legal codes that include some of the first written, recorded instances of slavery, all of which are from different, but similar periods in Ancient Mesopotamia. The main five we’ll be looking at are The Code of UrNammu, The Code of Eshnunna, The Code of LipitIshtar, The Code of Hammurabi and The Code of Nesilim. Each was inscribed on ancient tablets, or pieces of stele and contain multiple mentions and legal proceedings to do with slaves, suggesting it was a key part of the ancient civilisation’s workings and existed long before the records we have since uncovered suggest. #slavery#history #whiteslavery #modernslavery #mesopotamia #fallofconstantinople #constantinople #historychannelTimecode:00:00 Start01:14 The First Evidence of Slavery: PreWritten Records01:57 Number One: The Code of UrNammu04:12 Number Two and Three: The Code of Eshnunna and The Code of LipitIshtar06:03 Number Four: The Code of Hammurabi07:52 Number Five: The Code of NesilimDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

History is truthechoed through the hallways of time, breathing in the memories of many, livingon in through the shape of presentday society which it has chiseled, the past resonating in the present. History contains the experiences of many, it is our stories – the essence of which make us human. Today we will be going on a journey, back into the Gulag of the Soviet Union, we will allow the prisoners of the Gulag to speak to us, to help us understand their plight.The GULAG is an acronym in Russian, which when translated into English means “ChiefAdministration of Corrective Labour Camps”. The Gulag consisted of a network of hundreds of labour camps and prisons, whose inmates were political prisoners of the Soviet Union from the 1920s until the mid1950s. These camps can be compared in some ways to the Nazi Concentration Camps of the Second World War. Over the years of the dictatorship of Joseph Stalin, leader of the Soviet Union, these camps housed millions of prisoners, an estimate of 40 – 50 million from 1928 – 1953. Each of the hundreds of camps contained around 2000 – 10 000 prisoners.These inmates were imprisoned for a wide variety of reasons. Some were true criminals whowere imprisoned for the crimes they had committed, some were completely innocent, the victims of Stalin’s Great Purge (where he got rid of anyone who challenged his dictatorship). Often family members of those who challenged Stalin were also imprisoned. Many individuals were simply picked up by the Secret Police and were imprisoned without any trial or sentencing.#gulag #history #stalin #sovietgulag #gulagcampDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

“Hold the cross high, so I may see it through the flames” – these are the haunting final words uttered by our crossdressing female patron saint of France. The notorious ‘Maid of Orléans’or more widely known as Joan of Arcis perhaps one of the most controversial characters in all French history, her story, shrouded in mystery and still finds us questioning more than 600 years later. Was she merely a mentally ill young girl whose delusions led to her tragic end, or was she a true visionary who received information from the divine resulting in her becoming the prolific hero of the French nation, altering the very fabric of this nation’s history forever? On this day in History, we take a closer look, what conclusion does her story provide?In order to better understand the events catapulted into motion by her life, we must understand the backdrop against which her story plays out. Joan of Arc (also known as Jehanne la Pucelle, Joan the maid or Jehanette, among various other possible names she bore) was born around 1412 in the village of Domrémy in Northeastern France to father, Jacques d’Arc (or so we believe he is called), a tenant farmer, and mother Isabelle Romée. Joan was born into a France that had been actively engaged in a war against England for more than 75 years at the point of he birth (this war was later known as the famous Hundred Year War). England was succeeding against France and by 1420 Charles of Valois had lost the throne to Henry V who was crowned as king of England and France, succeeded by Henry VI in 1422.

In recent years historians have established that slavery during the Viking era was far more common than once believed. And it is during this era that for the first time, Scandinavians made the capture and use of slaves a key part of their economy and military campaigns. In fact, some historians now argue that the Vikings were responsible for more human trafficking in the period 7501050 C.E, than any other civilization.Although slavery existed in some form in Scandinavia long before the Viking era, it is during this period we see a sharp uptake in the number of slaves.Who were the Vikings?Today, Scandinavia is known as three separate countries – Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. But back in the 8th to 11th centuries, these three countries were more of a loose region, known as Scandinavia. The people of Scandinavia were followers of the Old Norse religion and recognized throughout Europe under the banner ‘Norsemen’ or the now more popular Vikings.Scandinavian society consisted of loosely connected tribes and petty kingdoms of Vikings, scattered throughout the three regions, amidst large areas of uninhabited land. As people most famous for their seafaring adventures and terrifying raids across Europe, it's no surprise that like many other societies, Viking’s regularly not only took goods from the places they raided but people too, making them a slavereliant society.#vikings #slavery #history #vikingslaves #historychannel #weirdhistoryDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.
