In this short historic documentary about Joseph Stalin, the leader of the USSR, we shall explore his final 24 hours.If you look at the reign of Joseph Stalin as the General Secretary of the Soviet Union, you get an image of Stalin as a ruthless, politically crafty, and dangerously paranoid individual. He held power in large part due to the fear he instilled. That insidious fear, not just of Stalin himself, but the mistrust he fostered between people themselves let him stay in power for 30 years. It eventually also led to Joseph Stalin lying in his own urine, the heads of state surrounding him, too afraid to lift a finger to help. Live by the sword, die by the loss of bodily functions in a narratively interesting way, as the saying goes. Joseph Stalin rose to power in the early 1920s. He already held the title of General Secretary while Lenin, his predecessor, suffered from worsening health problems. As Lenin declined Stalin solidified his power base, discredited his rivals, and positioned himself as the next de facto ruler. One of the last things Stalin and Lenin worked on was the creation of the USSR, formalizing soviet power in the surrounding countries. There is conjecture that Stalin helped speed Lenin’s declining health along with some good oldfashioned toxic substance, but no claims have been officially made.In his many years in office, Stalin was responsible for the leadership of the massive USSR, and his decisions controlled the fates of millions upon millions of people. His highlight reel, if you want to call it that, includes antisemitic witchhunts, secret police reign of terror, mass executions, WWII, the beginning of the Cold War, and the Holodomor among others. Let's look at Joseph Stalin's final 24 hours, how he passed away, and what happened to the USSR after he passed. This is a brief history of the final 24 hours of Joseph Stalin.#josephstalin #sovietunion #history #ussrScriptwriter: Marco PardoVoiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.com Copyright © 2021 A Day In History.

Henry was never meant to become king of England. His older brother Arthur, Prince of Wales, had that role sewn up. Born at the Palace of Placentia in Greenwich on the 28th of June 1491, Henry was brought up to be an educated and strong princetalented at Latin, French and Italian as well as hunting, dancing and sports. He picked up his fair share of titles as a boyfrom Duke of York to Warden of the Scottish Marshes and Lord Lieutenant of Ireland – all given to him by his father, Henry VII.

The word cannibalism originates from the Island Carib after unearthed 17th century legends suggested that the eating of human flesh was part of their culture (although this has since been debated).Instances of human cannibalism have been documented all over the world. It’s been practiced in countries like Great Britain, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Fiji, the Amazon basin, the Congo and amongst Maoris in New Zealand.But the original cannibals weren’t actually homo sapiens. Archaeological evidence suggests that it was practiced by other early hominins, with evidence of “defleshed” bones dating back 600,000 years.And excavations of a Neanderthal site in MoulaGuercy have uncovered the parts of six Neanderthals, dating back 100,000 years and showing evidence of human cannibalism. The palaeontologists reported that it looked like the bones had been broken in such a way that they could extract marrow and brains, and tool marks showed the cutting of flesh from the bones of the thigh.Among other works and etchings on tombs and temples, historians have tentatively suggested that cannibalism was part of certain human sacrifice rituals. According to Roman historian Cassius Dio, he personally witnessed the sacrifice and eating of two Roman officers with an oath sworn over their entrails.Across Ancient Mesopotamia, it’s also speculated that cannibalism was part of the many sacrificial rituals that took place although there has been no scholarly consensus on this matter. If you want to learn more about human sacrifice in MesoAmerica, don’t forget to check out our video “A Brief History of Human Sacrifice: The Aztecs” next!As we go forward in history, from Ancient to post 1st century AD, we see more evidence of cannibalism emerging.#history #cannibalism #humansacrifice #aztecsScriptwriter: Natasha Martellhttps://7strangethings.com/Voiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.comDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

As well as stinky hygiene practices, plagues and farming, the medieval era was known for some truly weird weaponry. Across the era, humans developed interesting and inventive ways of poking holes in each other, and some were more gruesome than you might expect.The medieval times had some horrific and creative weaponry that served as an inspiration for a lot of modern weapons. Lets look at today's video to find out about the weird weapons and punishments of the medieval ages.#medieval #history #weaponsScriptwriter: Natasha Martellhttps://7strangethings.com/Video Editor & Motion Graphics: Ravi ChauhanVoiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.comDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

The story of Japanese Prisoner of War camps is a particularly harrowing example of the extreme degree of inhumanity so often present in war. Allied soldiers captured by Japanese forces experienced an almost unimaginable scale of depravity. However, this story also highlights the resilience of the human spirit as they resisted the cruelty they faced, adopting various strategies to preserve not only their lives but also their dignity and selfrespect. Join us, as we journey through a remarkably intertwined tale of horror and resistance.As the Japanese believed it to be shameful to surrender in combat, they ran their camps with marked brutality. From when they entered the war in 1941, it is conservatively estimated that the Japanese held around 130,000 Allied troops as Prisoners of War who they had captured in battle and that around 35,000 of these never returned home. Bar the Nazi concentration camps, captives in Japanese Prisoner of War camps could expect to face the most brutal and dehumanizing conditions seen anywhere during World War II. The mortality rate for Allied prisoners of war held by the Japanese was around 25 to 30 percent. Lets go back in time to expand on this weird history and the dark chronicles of POW camps that according to some can be compared to the Soviet gulags.#japanesepowcamp #history #weirdhistory #worldwar2 #historydocumentaryScriptwriter: Finn Vijayakar (BA History, University of Bristol)Voiceover Artist: Chris RedishMusic: Motionarray.com DISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

The Mughal Empire was a Muslim kingdom that spread out of the southern area of today's Uzbekistan in the early 1500s. Within a relatively short time, the Mughals, under their first emperor, Babur, had expanded to include presentday Afghanistan, Kashmir, and most of modern Pakistan, as well as the area around the Indian city of Delhi down the Ganges River to the border of what is now Bangladesh. Over the next one hundred and eighty years, the empire grew to encompass most of the Indian subcontinent except the far south, and much of modern Pakistan and Bangladesh. Its three greatest conquerors were Babur (who reigned from 152630), Akbar (from 15561605) and Aurangzeb (r. 16581707). However most people today (especially outside of India) recall only the emperor Shihab alDin Muhammad Khurram, better known as Shah Jahan (“Ruler of the World”), who reigned from 16281658, and who is best known for having built the worldfamous Taj Mahal, the elaborate tomb for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, and which gathers an incredible sixtymillion visitors each year!So, what were the punishments during the Mughal Empire? Something quite painful, you can be assured. Lets find out more in our video.

Traditional, or perhaps more precisely previous, hypothesis has the appearance of modern humans, Homo sapiens, at around 200,000 years ago in the eastern part of Africa, plus or minus 50,000 years. However discoveries have muddied the already stygian depths on this topic, and we might have H. Sapiens ancestors much older, and more widespread, than that. That was until specimens showed up in Jebel Irhoud, Morocco that suggested a very early form of Homo sapiens was present. We say early form of Homo sapiens but the fossils, and similar ones in Florisbad, South Africa, aren’t universally considered to be modern humans. Rather they are that halfstep away, showing some signs of full modernity, but not all. And these fossils are some 350,000 years old, which almost doubles the age of the previous oldest fossils. This hominin would have probably interbred with the archaic human species already present, whether that was Neanderthals or other species. #neanderthals #homosapiens#history#humanancestors #homoerectus #humanevolution #weirdhistory #evolution Scriptwriter: Marco PardoVoiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comSources: https://shrib.com/#CoquiFrancolin25pwxedMusic: Motionarray.com DISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

The Ottoman Empire began in the 13th century with Osman the 1st. Gaining land and power the Ottomans, named after Osman via anglicization and some language hopping, would soon conquer the ancient city of Constantinople. This would bring about an influx of Greek and Roman culture that was the backbone of the Byzantines. The Ottoman Empire reached far and wide, and it was reflected everywhere in the empire, even the Imperial Harem. The harems of the Ottoman Empire. A subject that while evoking images of scantily dressed nubile young women, also deals with power, prestige, war, tradition, and ultimately the fate of an empire. Historical records from the west from the time of the Ottomans are skewed and biased, often inaccurate as few Europeans ever had firsthand experience with the Sultan’s harem. Actually, that isn’t quite true, there was any number of Europeans, Africans, and Eurasians that were very involved with the Imperial Harem, although rarely was this a willing and mutually beneficial arrangement. The Ottoman Empire was a very inclusive, yet traditional, place. #ottoman #harem#history #ottomanempire #weirdhistory #simplehistoryScriptwriter: Marco PardoVoiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.com Sources: https://shrib.com/#Elliott5aNWpAkDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

The Bengal famine of 1943 serves as an example of one of the worst and most fatal atrocities in Modern History. It is also the only famine in India that is recognised to be caused by manmade factors; greed, complacency, and even racism all played a role. It claimed the lives of 24 million Bengalis. It reduced the appearance of otherwise healthy men, women, and children to skeletons. Like life, History is complicated. History merely seeks to record life, so it must be. History tells us that its celebrated figures can be capable of both immense bravery but also shocking inhumanity. The story of the Bengal famine drives this concept home, forcing us to reexamine past beliefs and arrive at more nuanced conclusions about such figures. Join us, as we uncover this extremely tragic and difficult history. #bengalfamine #history #historychannel #weirdhistory #bengalfaminechurchhill #winstonchurchill Scriptwriter: Finn Vijayakar (BA History, University of Bristol)Voiceover Artist: Chris RedishTimecode:00:00 Start01:05 The British policy of denial05:27 The Role of Churchill:07:56 Food hoarding 09:35 Is the 1945 Bengal Famine Commission a trustworthy historical source?10:19 ConclusionMusic: Motionarray.com DISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Back in the fourteenth century, Mansa Musa was the ruler of a West African Empire and was said to be worth more than double that: around 400 billion dollars by today’s money, accounting for inflation. Such wealth is often hard to imagine, so for context, this figure is the same as the national gross domestic product of Norway. Musa was so wealthy that his lavish gifting crashed a regional gold market for a decade, and quite literally put him and his empire on the map. Much of Musa’s early life are lost to history, but what we do know is that he was born around 1280 AD in or around the Mali Empire, and ascended the throne around 1312. Lets find out more about how his bizarre life as history's richest man! #mansamusa #history #weirdhistory #historychannel #maliempire DISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Holodomor can be literally translated to “death by hunger”. It’s a horrifying fate that between 7 and 10 million people suffered in Ukraine between 1932 and 1933 thanks to the Soviet Union’s harsh grain quotas and Joseph Stalin’s underlying desire to totally subdue the Ukrainian population. In recent years, with further evaluation of Joseph Stalin’s methods in Ukraine that led to this mass famine, historians have been forced to reconsider and reassess what happened in 19321933, with many now renaming the Holodomor as nothing shorter than one of the worst manmade famines.Before joining the Soviet Union in 1922, Ukraine was its own, independent, thriving nation. This was in no small part due to their flourishing agriculture, with lands full of fertile soil, ripe for farming. The crops produced in Ukraine became so well known that after joining, it became known as the Soviet Union’s breadbasket. Joseph Stalin, head of the new Soviet Union, wanted to ensure he had Ukraine under his complete control. And so, he introduced a FiveYear Plan in 1928, part of which included what was called the ‘Collectivization of Agriculture’ that was meant to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding urban population. Let's talk about it more in the video.#holodomor #history #josephstalin #ukrainefamine #weirdhistory #historychannelScriptwriter: Natasha Martellhttps://7strangethings.com/Voiceover Artist: Stephen Lewis: stephenvox.comMusic: Motionarray.com DISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Neanderthals, or Homo neanderthalensis, are possibly our most famous ancestors. They walked, talked, fought, loved, and suffered just like us. Modern humans shared so much with Neanderthals. Their homes, ranges, hunting grounds, and even their cemeteries were left, or ceded, to us over Europe, Asia, and some parts of Africa. When we discovered the Neanderthal’s disappearance from the fossil record tens of thousands of years ago we blamed climate change, the disappearance of megafauna, and competition from modern humans. The meeting between the two species was anything but short, but what actually happened when the latest branches of our family met so long ago? And what recent discoveries changed how we understand our meeting?#neanderthals #evolution #history #paleontologyScriptwriter: Marco PardoVoiceover Artist: CiaronMusic: Motionarray.com Sources: https://anotepad.com/notes/bi693aq9Timecode:00:00 Start01:36 A Multimillennia Matchup03:50 Meeting of the Minds07:19 Forgotten FarewellsDISCLAIMER: All materials in these videos are used for entertainment purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

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.

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.
