See that's the thing that upsets me is the fact that we talked so much about how bad hitler, mussolini and Stalin all were but we barely talk about the atrocities committed by Hirohito. My uncle by marriage his mother lived through it all and she said the imperial Japanese were some of the worst on the planet. I mean having your best men commit suicide because you're losing the war shows you what kind of an egotistical asshole he really was.
This is somewhat unfair to Hirohito - He had only about as much power as Britain's George VI and probably didn't know much if anything about the atrocities. Blame His cabinet instead.
well if you think like me you can understand how to fix all conflict all humans have conflict only becouse of lies and feelings. me saying that is becouse we should be smart enough to know we have no concrete evidence. thus meaning EVERY SINGLE THING PEOPLE FEEL is 100% fake thus me saying your point is valid, but also say that the fact we say hitler is bad, is becouse people where and have always used one another for selfish gains. and me saying that all people CAN be GOOD. means we can fix everything with real truth, everything from from confict from religion. all the way to people we regard as worst like terrorists. meaning if we are truly neutral like how countries like austria, but have that mentallity ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE WAYS SINGULAR PEOPLE ARE.
@@philipcampbell5646 Yes and no. He probably was very limited in his knowledge of what really was going on both in the world and within his own government and armed forces because he was isolated and spoon-fed information. But No because he was the head of a nation and an adult human and it behooved him to realize his status and exert his power to become informed and control the actions done in his name. "I'm a god and I rule this land. They tell me everyone loves me. They tell me everything's going great. They tell me we are a superior people" does not cut it; a 'god' should observe and rule on their own. That whole thing where he made an address to the nation that Japan was going to surrender and local military tried a coup to prevent it from being broadcast is another interesting and relatively-unknown event in the annals of WW2 though.
Another thing is, when they committed acts so horrific on the Koreans, Chinese, Filipino, and other native civilians that made even the n@zis try and smuggle people away from the japanese war machines. The n@zis thought that the japanese were so cruel that THEY tried to smuggle people AWAY from imperial japanese controlled territories.
As a multiply disabled person, the comment from the disability historian made me tear up, because I felt very seen for once. I'm grateful for the book recs on that subject, I will definitely look those up.
@@kitcat-xn1mn because, according to our curriculum, written by dumb folk, the weight/importance of history of the atrocities against minorities far outweigh any history of anyone with disabilities, despite proclaiming that we're all equal. history in school is completely skewed. they barely ever mention helen keller, which just so happens to be the *most* famous disabled person. forget anyone else, we only need one example of disabled people, right?
My family is in America because of the Highland Clearances. My grandfather's grandparents and MOST of their children were born in the Scottish Highlands. His grandma was pregnant with his dad when they were burned out. They were lucky enough to escape the blaze, but their land, animals, and most of their possessions were not so lucky. They had the good fortune to be able to immigrate to North America, and they changed their last name to Hiland.
The Roman sac of Jerusalem (70AD) was SO thorough, that later a confused traveler is said to have asked a sentry which direction Jerusalem was. He had visited many times and knew he must be close. The sentry informed him that he was standing in its center. Every building had been leveled. Every waterway had been filled. Every tree had been cut down.
Vietnamese Boat People: Des Moines, Iowa took many Vietnamese Boat People as refugees in the 1970's. To this day, Des Moines has a thriving Vietnamese community and their restaurants are amazing!
My older brother graduated with one Vietnamese boat person. I don't know what happened to his family; he was adopted by a white family in our MN neighborhood. I don't recall him every telling anyone about atrocities. He seemed very happy and was very popular.
America is literally a modern reflection of the Roman empire, the castration of society, the raping of education, the sacking of family unity under the guise of compliance for the greater good, and the list goes on.
43:47 Correction: Canada didn’t get rid of the system in 2018 per se. The 2018 change meant that people could no longer be discriminated against while applying for permanent resident status, but a similar rule still applies for those who want to get to Canada in the first place. If you’re expected to cost the government more than $26220 a year and you don’t fall under three special categories (refugees, protected people, or you have a sponsor), you’re not allowed in.
Remember some of these stories when you hear politicians supporting company towns and rolling back health and safety regulations, including in the workplace.
I grew up and live in East Texas, I am 61. When I was a kid, every yr on the anniversary the news station would do a feature on New London. The black and white images of that torn school and the stories have stuck with me my entire life. Thank you for sharing the story.
My grandfather also survived the London school explosion! His brother died in the explosion. My grandfather always shared his story in a way to keep my great uncle alive. In the chaos after the explosion my grandfather broke a window and literally jumped out the window and went looking for his siblings. All were okay except their brother. There is a memorial that beautifully honors the victims and survivors. One story that stuck with the small town was a mom went to the school when parents got wind of what happened, she literally dug out her daughter and rode around with her dead daughter in the trunk for a week. She had a psychotic break from loosing her child and in such a tragic way. There’s so much more that happened it’s not talked about enough. Rip Grandpa Dwayne💙
The Armagh Train Disaster should also be mentioned. It was the worst train accident to have happened in Great Britain, aside from the Quintinshill incident. A large amount of children were on a school trip that day. Due to the high numbers, two trains were scheduled, with very long trains. The first train left with about 15 coaches and two brake vans, both somewhere either in the middle or at the front of the train. The driver didn't want to take the train without the banker, as the line had very steep grades. The station master ignored his concern and sent the first train on. Sure enough, that train stalled on the steepest part of the line. Rather than wait for the second train to come along and help push the train up, the driver thought it was a good idea to split the train in two and carry on over the hill with one half, before returning to collect the other half. Separating the coaches meant disconnecting the airbrakes that were on the coaches, leaving the handbrakes to hold the train. The driver attempted to restart the train, but it rolled backward, and it sent the back portion of the train rolling out of control down the hill. The passengers, who were mainly children, couldn't get out due to the doors being locked. Unfortunately, the second train was coming up the hill, and well, you can imagine what came next. 80 passengers were killed and 260 were injured. The accident caused a lot of sweeping changes throughout Britain and as I said before, it was considered one of the worst train accidents in U.K. History.
There’s also a play version of Radium Girls. First I’ve seen it, it was preformed by a Highschool, it was actually very well done. It was the first time I heard about this event.
The new London school explosion along with odorant also brought the requirement of thermocouplers on pilot lights that shut off gas flow in the event of it being extinguished. 😢😢
I've read many comments from Japanese people who claim that during WW2, the atrocities attributed to them are lies and the reason why is due to their desire to free all the east from the colonizing west. One even told me that Nanking was proven to be a lie, something I don't believe is true. Despite my love of Japan, I was a little bothered by this.
Maybe in your country. I am from East Africa and we are all taught about local slavers and collaborators to the Portuguese and Omani Arabs in the enslavement of other Africans. In secondary education, we even get to learn about the 'popular' trans-Atlantic slave trade. I have enough West African friends who have been taught all about it and visit slavery museums in their own countries. Don't assume if you don't learn something in your country, the rest of the world is just as ignorant.
@Azulakayes yea here in the US the school system now claims that whites are the sole reason for slavery and we're the only slave owners unfortunately. They changed the curriculum shortly after I graduated from high-school
@stormydayvibes yup. When I was in school (I graduated in 2012) they barely even spoke about it. I'm part cherrokee and mohawk as it is and have had a hard time finding much information about my ancestors ways. What I can mostly find just gives the brief "hunter and and gatherers from this region of the world" rhetoric
You speak as if you think they had any choice but to sign a devil's contract when they had guns to their heads and saw chiefs who resisted get slaughtered. If I mug you, that doesn't mean you sold me your wallet.
This was really interesting! I hope you do more vids like this, there’s all kinds of “little known” topics you could cover. Also smh at the person who said “9/11” 🙄 as if that’s not one of the most talked about terror attacks in modern history.
The attack is mentioned over and over and over but I think they are right, it is not well studied in terms of the massive changes in the culture of the US since that day. I think we are just now getting enough distance to think about the event and its repercussions with any kind of objectivity. The invasion of Iraq and war in Afghanistan are known to exist but we don’t talk about it nearly enough. We have been at war for 40 years-why? For what? I can’t tell you even though I remember the first invasion of Iraq (1991) clearly. I thought the invasion of Afghanistan was a terrible, baffling idea at the time and it still is to this day. You can’t declare war on a tactic (terrorism) and think you will win.
The sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff in January of 1945 The sinking happened while Nazi Germany was evacuating civilians, children, wounded, military officers, families, etc, the ship was spotted by Soviet Sub S-13, and was torpedoed three times, rolled on uts side, and sank. 9,400 died in the sinking, and to this day, it remains as the deadliest maritime disaster of all time. The death toll is unimaginative, if you combined some of the deadliest 19th and 20th century sinkings like the RMS Tayleur, SS Atlantic, Sultana, SS Arctic, RMS Titanic, RMS Empress of Ireland, RMS Lusitania, SS Eastland, HMHS Britannic, and the Halifax Explosion, the combined death toll would almost be equal
One of the things people don't really talk about in the firebombing of Dresden was just how HOT it got. I recall stories about people melting into the asphalt.
I hate that "The Rape of Nanking" is such a well-known, infamous title for that atrocity, something pretty much everyone calls it even in history books, and yet UA-cam's draconian content guidelines force the narrator to say "S.A." instead...
Personal accouts of the Bath, Michigan school bombing are horrific. I'll never forget the testimony I read from a panicked parent who rushed to the school to find their child's mangled body in the rafters. Edited to fix typos
Speaking of hidden disabilities in history, I wonder how many people in history would have been diagnosed today as on the spectrum, autistic, having Asperger's, dyslexic, dyscalculic, dysgraphic, but were labelled otherwise, such as "slow", "mute" (but not deaf-mute), or the Hard R, which I will refuse to say. I'm sure Aspergers and autism and the spectrum in general existed long before the modern age, it didn't just appear in the last 40 years. Sadly, I'm sure many were labelled with the Hard R and often placed in asylums. I'm sure dyslexia and the other conditions also existed throughout history, but people didn't have the education for them to be identified.
You want to know something really interesting? When people are losing their sight such as advanced macular degeneration patients, the visual input is sometimes interpreted by their brain as something else. For example I know of a few patients who see geometric shapes all over. One lady sees most things as purple. Like, everything she sees is purple. One patient sees running horses. It’s called Charles Bonnett Syndrome. Can you imagine all the partially blind people who thought these hallucinations were dementia or something??
Leonardo Da Vinci was incredibly neurodivergent. And IMO the most intelligent person to ever live. But you can't actually diagnose people that are dead.
How is no one talking about story 19?? I know the US has a habit of hiding the bad parts of their history so I feel like more people should know about the ugly You know how it is, the good, the bad and the ugly, excep that they don't talk about the bad and the ugly
The more I live, the more I realize that every country, every nation, every kingdome has had a very shameful event or time period that they try to hide.
The problem with many of these historical stories is that they aren't really "palatable" (I wish that I had a better term) for high schoolers, so they aren't well known. Yes, we'll learn about the Holocaust and maybe apartheid and the Hutu-Tutsi War in Rwanda, but something so personally done and so close to home is something else. I completely agree that it should not be covered up, especially since the actions taken by those soldiers are often things that "bad" indigenous people do in movies. I don't know if I am making sense to anyone, but I tried to write my disjointed thoughts down.
Here's one that's shown in the series "The Crown": Abefan Disaster on 21st October 1966. It happened in a coal mining village in Wales; a landslide of coal waste crashed into the village's Junior school and several homes surrounding it, killing 116 children and 28 adults.
I don’t know if it’s in the video, but there was a Haitian revolt that happened near the time of the US Civil War but then was quieted by putting each of the revolting slaves’ heads on stakes lining a river. Did a paper on it in middle school which was really interesting and hard to find sources
My mom used to work with a lady who was a boat person. She was young when she fled around 16 and she dressed as a man and as a last resort she painted a rag with red and brown paint to make it look like she was menstruating. My mom said that her friend said that the pirates had a stigma of r'*!"ing bleeding girls. Her story is incredible.
The Titanic gets all the attention, but the steamboat Sultana carries a higher death toll. She was bringing home Union POW's and was over compacity. Her boiler exploded due to a shoddy patch. It was a choice between burning to death on the burning Sultana, or drowning in the cold swift current of the river. Due to the fact that her sinking was so close to the date Abriham Lincoln was assassinated, the assassination got front page news, and she just got a short summary.
Hey there, Canadian here. Not sure if it's been a recent change (only graduated ~8 years ago), but Residential Schools are taught pretty thoroughly in our history classes as early as middle school. I don't know if that's nation-wide, but at least in my province it's true
That radium is well known because story #8 specifically is about the women whom painted the dials on paratroopers watches in WWII making those watches glow in the dark
@@hostilegames1043i mean the only real difference is the rigid social class structure that would be enforced along with the spending being focused on military research instead of social programs
Yeah, lumping together socialism, communism, and anarchism as one objectively evil force is an astoundingly dumb take. 5 were terrible atrocities committed by communist regimes post WW2 (Something that is commonly known if you have any knowledge of history), but that guy seemed like a closeted facist. Him calling the left mentally retarded seems like projection.
@@Imimurwalls283 1. Calling people retarded, generally classless and gross. 4chan incel speak. 2. Dumbfuck confuses socialism with communism, which right wing grifters or braindead culture war types often do 3. Complete failure to recognize the issue of bad people doing bad things and no system is inherently good or evil (aside from fascism maybe, I fail to see positives there). The events he's screeching about are due to deranged dictators. Capitalism is just as capable of fucked up things and events. Just look at the Great Depression. Capitalism at its lowest, all due to greed and stupidity.
Story 88 is almost completely wrong the Tenerife disaster happened because the pilot of the KLM plane was cocky and wouldn’t listen to his copilot or flight engineer when they told him that they didn’t have clearance to take off yet. The Pan Am plane was taxing down the runway at the same time that the KLM plane was trying to take off the Pan Am pilot tried to radio that they were still on the runway but they were speaking at the same time so the Pan Am got cut off and was never heard. The KLM pilot was arrogant and refused to listen to anyone because at the time of the disaster he was the face of KLM and a flight instructor at the time so the company catered to his every whim and let him get away with a lot.
The Romans took many people as slaves. almost 80% of places like Wales, Kent (UK). The Romans wiped out the Druids, These were a band of intelligence who had vast knowledge and maintained a sort of peace and did medical work. What knowledge lost? The German ship MV Wilhem Gustav. A long time ago customer of mine survived the sinking, She says many more than listed were aboard, The cabin her mother bought was listed and paid for 4 persons. There were closer to 25 in the cabin maybe 35. So she estimated 38-40,000 on the ship.
11:32 survivor guilts a bitch specially when you know it should’ve been you, but at the end of it all you can’t blame yourself, something like a gas leak explosion is way beyond you and out of your hands
When people reminisce about the "good old days" when everyone was innocent, kind, loving and righteous....they're talking bullcrap. People have been people since the dawn of time.
The Ustascha during WW2. They did so messed up things that even the Nazis were disgusted with them. As a German I knew what my ancestors did, so the Ustascha really must have been bad.
Eyyy I’m from Halifax! There’s still some buildings left around from before the explosion. There’s tens of ghost stories. The ship museum on the waterfront also has displays related to it. A lot of victims ran up to citadel hill, which happens to also be a very old military base. Think 1700-1800 (I can’t remember off the top of my head haha)
Story 58: the "horrible thing that happened 100.000 years ago" was not some single event that wiped out most of humanity. It was most likely a normal population bottleneck, which is known to happen every few hundred thousand years because life sucks sometimes. The study is from 2018 by Mark Stoeckle and David Thaler and published in the journal "Human evolution". So it basically was just a really sucky time to be alive but it was nothing out of the ordinary as history and population goes.
Port Arthur: I’m from Tasmania (Tassie as we call it) and that event is still talked about a lot here, it’s still kinda spooky down there because of the whole thing, plus everything else that happened there just makes it spooky as even in the daytime
I heard a lot about the Romans, but I didn't hear about 48AD when they invaded Wales 5 years after the invasion of England. Tacitus simply said: "they bore down upon them, smote all who opposed them to the earth and wrapped them in the flames they had themselves kindled." The Romans butchered Wales.
About Story 5, I watched a documentary a couple weeks ago about this event and further scientific research considers that the culprit of these phenomenons was a massive eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in Java.
I feel like the taiping rebellion isn't unknown, but schools don't really teach about it, and Its definitely not known about enough for being the second deadliest conflict in history.
On the Sand Creek Massacre: I'm going to speak as a Native American. Yes, the United States have done a lot of horrible things to the Natives. However, Natives were doing horrible things back to Americans. Many U.S. Attrocities against Natives can be tied to 'Renegade' natives, natives that refused to put on some type of uniform to differentiate themselves from the rest before attacking the United States then blending back into the local native settlements. This is very similar to what Hamas keeps doing in Israel, causing the Israelis to have to keep bombing Gaza. With Sand Creek, a band of renegades were hitting U.S. settlements then sliding into Sand Creek and a hand full of other settlements in the area to hide afterwards. And, much like Israel, the United States retaliated. Sadly, the Renegades had already slipped away the day before so all the casualties were civilian noncombatants. Why do I bring this up? Because glossing over this stuff, much like with Hamas, lets the terrorists win. It allows them to glorify their causes by saying 'Look at what this group we are fighting is doing to civilians' while glossing over the civilians that they, themselves, have killed. This perpetuates a bloody cycle of civilians/non-combatants getting killed for just trying to live their lives because they got dragged into something that does not concern them. Yes, I know that every Israeli serves at least one year in the military... but look at the recent attack that perpetuated the current events. Tourists were hurt and killed, people with absolutely no ties to either the nation of Israel OR the Palestinian resistance movements.
Story 88 I shouldn't laugh during a video or story like this, but hearing the narrator call it Tennor-Rife just cracked me up Tenner- reef is how it's said.
HISTORY FACT: when you see a foggy dark orange sky in Middle Ages paintings, it's because during the Middle Ages the sky was infact foggy, dark, and orange for decades due to a volcanic eruption in the indo-pacific islands. Even Chinese historians recorded the same phenomenon.
Man the first one here REALLY got my attention, I'm a history buff and I didn't even know that one.. Galveston was even where me and my wife went for our honeymoon!
Regarding the residential schools and such. For context the last residential school was closed in 1996. One of the people who voted to keep them open, is the current prime minister's father. If you don't know what a residential school is, they basically kidnapped native children, and put them in these boarding schools. They beat the children for observing their native customs, speaking their own language, ect. There were also multiple cases of child S/A. As well as children being 'adopted' to new families. Despite their parents still being alive. If you're interested in learning more, you should also look up what they did to the indigenous people who signed up for 'Indian status". It wasn't good. Supposedly it's getting better, but I still hear about status "Indians' being denied in hospitals. (Albeit mostly from non-satus people) As well, said prime minister made a new holiday to "Honour the loss" after what was thought to be a mass grave was discovered. He then proceeded to go surfing on said day, outside of the country.
Story 19 is sickening and bought tears to my eyes. Those soilders were bastards. I hope the modern government will apologise for any of their desentanace.
The true origins of "why" Thanksgiving came about, unlike what we were taught where Indians and the Englishmen shook hands and became friends, that is Not the real reason why Thanksgiving became a celebrated holiday. That was just a small part of it, it was more for the scalping like in story 19, where they got paid for Native scalps of any and all ages. It wasn't a 'peace and friendship' celebration like we were taught in school it was a celebration of torture and getting paid for "conquering and killing" Native for their scalps. But you won't hear about this side of Thanksgiving in any public school, I'm sure, cause I was never taught that in school, my mom was the one who enlightened me on the darker side of that particular holiday.
Fifteen years ago, I had to research the penal colony in French Guyana for French classes. That it existed is well-known; until when it existed is something I am to this day not certain about. It may have changed, but fifteen years ago, most sources I found tended to claim either 1923 and 1938/39, both of which are important milestones towards the closure, but neither is the actual year the system was shut down. That process only really began in 1946. Considering the real year the last "camp de transportation" in Guyana closed its doors is somewhere between 1953 and '67, I am fairly convinced that the lack of information is deliberate...
We’re actually in the middle of another solar flare cycle at the moment. If anyone noticed the crazy Auroras throughout May that was seen across the world in some pretty unusual places, that was the beginning of the solar cycle, which should be at its peak sometime July 2025 - we have become somewhat more aware of these cycles since the Carrington event, so power stations have time to prepare for such events… still if something like that were to hit us again, the damage would be quite catastrophic unfortunately 😢
Dodging world killer meteors isn't all luck. For one, space is very...spacious. The probability for one to hit is quite small just by the vastness alone. Second, we have protection from them in our solar system. Jupiter being one of the main protectors with its large gravitational pull.
There have been more people on the Gustloff. My grandpa nearly got on there fleeing from Ostpreußen at 9 years old. Him, his twin brother and his sisters had tickets but wouldnt be let on the ship cause it was packed. The flet over the Stettiner Haff.its a mass grave cause they bombarded even the ice. He told, when he even talked about it, there were more then 20.000 on the ship!
1. I (and many more people) lost my eye due to communism. The scenario goes like this: a newborn ends up in incubator due to some condition. The incubator is either a soviet, primitive design or western model that was imported at cost, but no one knows how to use it. The baby has low oxygen saturation, so in soviet model it gets pure oxygen. In western unit no one knows how to use, it also is set to full O2. Add to that some quartz light for vitamin D deficiency and the retina is destroyed, starting from place where optic nerve connects to it. In my case hereditary glaucoma added to it and my left eye is now shriveled, grayish ball, sunken in the socket. Many more people born from 1970s to 1990 ended up with the eyeball(-s) removed completely for esthetic reasons. 2. -Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia. Between 1943 and 1945 Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) with active participation of the locals committed a series of massacres of local minority of Poles in the regions of Volhynia and Eastern Galicia. These crimes are ignored by Ukrainians, as UPA for many of them is not a band of nationalist murderers, but national heroes. Ukrainians won't even permit Poles exhume the victims of those massacres from the mass graves, because it would be bad for their PR to show that they were as bad as russians now, or soviets during WW2. This is a problematic issue in the relations between Poland and Ukraine, and should have been solved years ago, and especially now, considering how much support from both polish government and polish people Ukraine received during the invasion of Russia. 3. Before Warsaw Uprising in 1944 (which was basically an idiocy of generals that murdered many thousands of people), there were more than 30 earlier uprisings, starting after First Partition of Poland in 1772. Only two of them were successful, but only short-term. Long term they didn't matter at all. 4. Almost every major medical advancement has at least few victims of experimentation. For example early organ transplants were made using donor organs of animals, usually primates. Desperate people and their families agreed to those, often not well researched, experiments, which ended in death. If you like dogs, and other animals, don't look up the early history of neuroscience. 5. The Łódź Skinhunters, or ambulance crews that murdered people to get a kickback from funeral homes. Only few people were found, but prevailing theory is that there were more of them. Shrouded Hand has video about it. 6. Baltic sea has an area where tons of chemical warfare munitions were just dropped and forgotten. These tanks are there, quietly rusting away at the bottom of the sea. Near polish coast.
I was in middle school when the massacre of My Lai happened. It was a pretty big thing. A song was written about it. I still have the 45 record. But people were really divisive about it.
I think I’ve only even heard of the African wars listed before because of my mom’s expansive focus on recent history and current events. But this reminder gives me a new rabbithole for research
I can’t remember offhand if any of them were in my world history textbooks but it’s unlikely, considering that most wars I’ve heard of at all were notably absent, even the French-Indian War being fully absent in a World History textbook targeted to American high school students
I think so too. We had 3 school hours about Africa and the colonial era, but nothing about the history of every state in Africa. Now I’m really interested to learn more about this missing history.
You hear a lot about the slave trade, you gloss over the very worst part of it. The door of no return, and the middle passage is some of the most unsettling shit I’ve ever had the misfortune to obsess over. It was like I wanted to cry.
Dude talking about communism, anarchism, and socialism being the same thing clearly has no idea what he is talking about and its the point in which I stopped listening. Guess he doesn't realize most if not all 1st world countries practice a level of socialism including the U.S. It's why you can get food and resources when you are hard up. Weird he didn't bring up how toxic capitalism is getting these days where some people in the US are forced to give themselves stitches or surgery or even crazier shit because they literally can't afford to go to a doctor. Or how we have starving people because companies would rather create a ton of food waste then give it out for free to people in lower income levels. Or how people are working 12 hour shifts 5-6 days a week and still barely making enough for rent. It's always amazed me that people will praise capitalism to the heavens in one breath and then worry over their ability to afford their life saving medication in the next
Who could laugh at you for murdering those names. It doesn't matter how you pronounce them the horrific acts on those poor people speak for themselves.
I don't know how unknown these events are. For example, the My Lai massacre is the most famous US wartime atrocity in the last 100 years or so. A lot of the others are similarly the most famous version of whatever type of tragedy they are.
Up until the 1900 hurricane, Galveston was the biggest city in Texas. Hurricane destroyed the island. The first 3 floors of a 4 story building completely underwater. It's also rumored Galveston is haunted
See, I struggle with Unit 731. What they did is so horrible that it cant be explained by words, but on the other hand their research has boosted medical and anatomical knoweldge to what we know today. If it werent for them we probably wouldnt know what we do today about the human body and its responses to stimuli.
As far as I know most of that research was so poorly done it was essentially worthless.They would just do whatever sadistic thing they wanted at the time.
Not true at all, their research really didn't contribute much at all to modern medical knowledge. Like Mengele, most of research done was just pseudoscience combined with unimaginable sadism
On the story about humans almost going extinct. I understand wanting more information but that's just it, we don't know what happened. All we know is some genes exploded in popularity and others became very rare and that it implies a near extinction event. That's the scariest part really, if we don't know what did it whose to say it's not right under our noses waiting to do it again?
Its interesting how Japan won't let anyone forget about Nagasaki and Hiroshima (rightfully so), but they will willingly let their extensive list of war crimes against everyone else fade away into the past and be lost to time
The Tenerife account is inaccurate. The KLM 747 was taking off not landing. The Dutch plane took off without clearence because its captain was impatient. He'd alao decided to add fuel during the down time at Tenerife so he was heavier and inable to clear the Pan Am 747 who had tried to veer off the runway.
See that's the thing that upsets me is the fact that we talked so much about how bad hitler, mussolini and Stalin all were but we barely talk about the atrocities committed by Hirohito. My uncle by marriage his mother lived through it all and she said the imperial Japanese were some of the worst on the planet. I mean having your best men commit suicide because you're losing the war shows you what kind of an egotistical asshole he really was.
This is somewhat unfair to Hirohito - He had only about as much power as Britain's George VI and probably didn't know much if anything about the atrocities.
Blame His cabinet instead.
well if you think like me you can understand how to fix all conflict
all humans have conflict only becouse of lies and feelings.
me saying that is becouse we should be smart enough to know we have no concrete evidence.
thus meaning EVERY SINGLE THING PEOPLE FEEL is 100% fake
thus me saying your point is valid, but also say that the fact we say hitler is bad, is becouse people where and have always used one another for selfish gains.
and me saying that all people CAN be GOOD. means we can fix everything with real truth, everything from from confict from religion. all the way to people we regard as worst like terrorists.
meaning if we are truly neutral like how countries like austria, but have that mentallity ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE WAYS SINGULAR PEOPLE ARE.
@@philipcampbell5646 Yes and no. He probably was very limited in his knowledge of what really was going on both in the world and within his own government and armed forces because he was isolated and spoon-fed information. But No because he was the head of a nation and an adult human and it behooved him to realize his status and exert his power to become informed and control the actions done in his name. "I'm a god and I rule this land. They tell me everyone loves me. They tell me everything's going great. They tell me we are a superior people" does not cut it; a 'god' should observe and rule on their own.
That whole thing where he made an address to the nation that Japan was going to surrender and local military tried a coup to prevent it from being broadcast is another interesting and relatively-unknown event in the annals of WW2 though.
Another thing is, when they committed acts so horrific on the Koreans, Chinese, Filipino, and other native civilians that made even the n@zis try and smuggle people away from the japanese war machines. The n@zis thought that the japanese were so cruel that THEY tried to smuggle people AWAY from imperial japanese controlled territories.
This is a clear sign of western bias, so much focus is on the west and few know much about what happened to asians during ww2. Unit 731, etc.
As a multiply disabled person, the comment from the disability historian made me tear up, because I felt very seen for once. I'm grateful for the book recs on that subject, I will definitely look those up.

My family is in America because of the Highland Clearances. My grandfather's grandparents and MOST of their children were born in the Scottish Highlands. His grandma was pregnant with his dad when they were burned out. They were lucky enough to escape the blaze, but their land, animals, and most of their possessions were not so lucky. They had the good fortune to be able to immigrate to North America, and they changed their last name to Hiland.

The Roman sac of Jerusalem (70AD) was SO thorough, that later a confused traveler is said to have asked a sentry which direction Jerusalem was. He had visited many times and knew he must be close. The sentry informed him that he was standing in its center.
Every building had been leveled. Every waterway had been filled. Every tree had been cut down.

If you’re expected to cost the government more than $26220 a year and you don’t fall under three special categories (refugees, protected people, or you have a sponsor), you’re not allowed in.

I grew up and live in East Texas, I am 61. When I was a kid, every yr on the anniversary the news station would do a feature on New London. The black and white images of that torn school and the stories have stuck with me my entire life. Thank you for sharing the story.
I’m from new London Wisconsin, and was super confused until the name of Texas came in. I was like “wait what happened here?!”
My grandfather also survived the London school explosion! His brother died in the explosion. My grandfather always shared his story in a way to keep my great uncle alive. In the chaos after the explosion my grandfather broke a window and literally jumped out the window and went looking for his siblings. All were okay except their brother. There is a memorial that beautifully honors the victims and survivors. One story that stuck with the small town was a mom went to the school when parents got wind of what happened, she literally dug out her daughter and rode around with her dead daughter in the trunk for a week. She had a psychotic break from loosing her child and in such a tragic way. There’s so much more that happened it’s not talked about enough. Rip Grandpa Dwayne💙
The Armagh Train Disaster should also be mentioned. It was the worst train accident to have happened in Great Britain, aside from the Quintinshill incident. A large amount of children were on a school trip that day. Due to the high numbers, two trains were scheduled, with very long trains. The first train left with about 15 coaches and two brake vans, both somewhere either in the middle or at the front of the train. The driver didn't want to take the train without the banker, as the line had very steep grades. The station master ignored his concern and sent the first train on. Sure enough, that train stalled on the steepest part of the line. Rather than wait for the second train to come along and help push the train up, the driver thought it was a good idea to split the train in two and carry on over the hill with one half, before returning to collect the other half. Separating the coaches meant disconnecting the airbrakes that were on the coaches, leaving the handbrakes to hold the train. The driver attempted to restart the train, but it rolled backward, and it sent the back portion of the train rolling out of control down the hill. The passengers, who were mainly children, couldn't get out due to the doors being locked. Unfortunately, the second train was coming up the hill, and well, you can imagine what came next. 80 passengers were killed and 260 were injured. The accident caused a lot of sweeping changes throughout Britain and as I said before, it was considered one of the worst train accidents in U.K. History.
Glad to hear the Romani getting recognition, we really are crap to them and it's sad, same for many other peoples like the Native Americans
7:34, Fun fact: there's a kid's version of The Radium Girls, which is exactly the same as the normal version, but with a word bank
....😅 wow.. I am struggling to get thru it, and I got thru Upton Sinclair's Jungle OK. I cannot imagine a kid reading this book.
There’s also a play version of Radium Girls. First I’ve seen it, it was preformed by a Highschool, it was actually very well done. It was the first time I heard about this event.
The new London school explosion along with odorant also brought the requirement of thermocouplers on pilot lights that shut off gas flow in the event of it being extinguished. 😢😢
Humanity has come a long way, but still has a long way to go.
I've read many comments from Japanese people who claim that during WW2, the atrocities attributed to them are lies and the reason why is due to their desire to free all the east from the colonizing west. One even told me that Nanking was proven to be a lie, something I don't believe is true. Despite my love of Japan, I was a little bothered by this.
Cannot forget that history books no longer talk about Africans kidnapping and selling blacks into slavery
Or the trail of tears...
Maybe in your country. I am from East Africa and we are all taught about local slavers and collaborators to the Portuguese and Omani Arabs in the enslavement of other Africans. In secondary education, we even get to learn about the 'popular' trans-Atlantic slave trade. I have enough West African friends who have been taught all about it and visit slavery museums in their own countries. Don't assume if you don't learn something in your country, the rest of the world is just as ignorant.
@Azulakayes yea here in the US the school system now claims that whites are the sole reason for slavery and we're the only slave owners unfortunately. They changed the curriculum shortly after I graduated from high-school
@stormydayvibes yup. When I was in school (I graduated in 2012) they barely even spoke about it. I'm part cherrokee and mohawk as it is and have had a hard time finding much information about my ancestors ways. What I can mostly find just gives the brief "hunter and and gatherers from this region of the world" rhetoric
You speak as if you think they had any choice but to sign a devil's contract when they had guns to their heads and saw chiefs who resisted get slaughtered. If I mug you, that doesn't mean you sold me your wallet.
This was really interesting! I hope you do more vids like this, there’s all kinds of “little known” topics you could cover. Also smh at the person who said “9/11” 🙄 as if that’s not one of the most talked about terror attacks in modern history.
The attack is mentioned over and over and over but I think they are right, it is not well studied in terms of the massive changes in the culture of the US since that day. I think we are just now getting enough distance to think about the event and its repercussions with any kind of objectivity. The invasion of Iraq and war in Afghanistan are known to exist but we don’t talk about it nearly enough.
We have been at war for 40 years-why? For what? I can’t tell you even though I remember the first invasion of Iraq (1991) clearly. I thought the invasion of Afghanistan was a terrible, baffling idea at the time and it still is to this day. You can’t declare war on a tactic (terrorism) and think you will win.

Reddit: what horrible things happened in history?
People: Japan...
or "America..."
The sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff in January of 1945
The sinking happened while Nazi Germany was evacuating civilians, children, wounded, military officers, families, etc, the ship was spotted by Soviet Sub S-13, and was torpedoed three times, rolled on uts side, and sank.
9,400 died in the sinking, and to this day, it remains as the deadliest maritime disaster of all time.
The death toll is unimaginative, if you combined some of the deadliest 19th and 20th century sinkings like the RMS Tayleur, SS Atlantic, Sultana, SS Arctic, RMS Titanic, RMS Empress of Ireland, RMS Lusitania, SS Eastland, HMHS Britannic, and the Halifax Explosion, the combined death toll would almost be equal
One of the things people don't really talk about in the firebombing of Dresden was just how HOT it got. I recall stories about people melting into the asphalt.
@@jjohnsoc23 I believe that's called reaping the whirlwind.
I hate that "The Rape of Nanking" is such a well-known, infamous title for that atrocity, something pretty much everyone calls it even in history books, and yet UA-cam's draconian content guidelines force the narrator to say "S.A." instead...
Personal accouts of the Bath, Michigan school bombing are horrific. I'll never forget the testimony I read from a panicked parent who rushed to the school to find their child's mangled body in the rafters.

Speaking of hidden disabilities in history, I wonder how many people in history would have been diagnosed today as on the spectrum, autistic, having Asperger's, dyslexic, dyscalculic, dysgraphic, but were labelled otherwise, such as "slow", "mute" (but not deaf-mute), or the Hard R, which I will refuse to say. I'm sure Aspergers and autism and the spectrum in general existed long before the modern age, it didn't just appear in the last 40 years. Sadly, I'm sure many were labelled with the Hard R and often placed in asylums. I'm sure dyslexia and the other conditions also existed throughout history, but people didn't have the education for them to be identified.
Sir Isaac Newton was said to be a socially awkward shut-in, and Michelangelo often struggled to convey emotions!
You want to know something really interesting? When people are losing their sight such as advanced macular degeneration patients, the visual input is sometimes interpreted by their brain as something else. For example I know of a few patients who see geometric shapes all over. One lady sees most things as purple. Like, everything she sees is purple. One patient sees running horses. It’s called Charles Bonnett Syndrome. Can you imagine all the partially blind people who thought these hallucinations were dementia or something??

Umm… no??
The more I live, the more I realize that every country, every nation, every kingdome has had a very shameful event or time period that they try to hide.
Unfortunately, this is true. Celebrate our triumphs but also learn from terrible mistakes.
The problem with many of these historical stories is that they aren't really "palatable" (I wish that I had a better term) for high schoolers, so they aren't well known.
Yes, we'll learn about the Holocaust and maybe apartheid and the Hutu-Tutsi War in Rwanda, but something so personally done and so close to home is something else.
I completely agree that it should not be covered up, especially since the actions taken by those soldiers are often things that "bad" indigenous people do in movies.
I don't know if I am making sense to anyone, but I tried to write my disjointed thoughts down.

Here's one that's shown in the series "The Crown": Abefan Disaster on 21st October 1966. It happened in a coal mining village in Wales; a landslide of coal waste crashed into the village's Junior school and several homes surrounding it, killing 116 children and 28 adults.
I don’t know if it’s in the video, but there was a Haitian revolt that happened near the time of the US Civil War but then was quieted by putting each of the revolting slaves’ heads on stakes lining a river. Did a paper on it in middle school which was really interesting and hard to find sources
the only sources i can find talk about a Haitian Revolution about half a century before the Civil War. is this what ur talking about?

The Titanic gets all the attention, but the steamboat Sultana carries a higher death toll. She was bringing home Union POW's and was over compacity. Her boiler exploded due to a shoddy patch. It was a choice between burning to death on the burning Sultana, or drowning in the cold swift current of the river. Due to the fact that her sinking was so close to the date Abriham Lincoln was assassinated, the assassination got front page news, and she just got a short summary.

Story 88 is almost completely wrong the Tenerife disaster happened because the pilot of the KLM plane was cocky and wouldn’t listen to his copilot or flight engineer when they told him that they didn’t have clearance to take off yet. The Pan Am plane was taxing down the runway at the same time that the KLM plane was trying to take off the Pan Am pilot tried to radio that they were still on the runway but they were speaking at the same time so the Pan Am got cut off and was never heard. The KLM pilot was arrogant and refused to listen to anyone because at the time of the disaster he was the face of KLM and a flight instructor at the time so the company catered to his every whim and let him get away with a lot.
Tenerife happened because of a lot of reasons.
@@GiordanDiodato And the last straw was the arrogance of KLM culture and the captain taking off without a clearance, as sierra said.

Eyyy I’m from Halifax! There’s still some buildings left around from before the explosion. There’s tens of ghost stories. The ship museum on the waterfront also has displays related to it. A lot of victims ran up to citadel hill, which happens to also be a very old military base. Think 1700-1800 (I can’t remember off the top of my head haha)

That's one of the most horrific things I've ever heard!
Story 58: the "horrible thing that happened 100.000 years ago" was not some single event that wiped out most of humanity. It was most likely a normal population bottleneck, which is known to happen every few hundred thousand years because life sucks sometimes. The study is from 2018 by Mark Stoeckle and David Thaler and published in the journal "Human evolution".
So it basically was just a really sucky time to be alive but it was nothing out of the ordinary as history and population goes.

I heard a lot about the Romans, but I didn't hear about 48AD when they invaded Wales 5 years after the invasion of England. Tacitus simply said: "they bore down upon them, smote all who opposed them to the earth and wrapped them in the flames they had themselves kindled." The Romans butchered Wales.

On the Sand Creek Massacre: I'm going to speak as a Native American. Yes, the United States have done a lot of horrible things to the Natives. However, Natives were doing horrible things back to Americans. Many U.S. Attrocities against Natives can be tied to 'Renegade' natives, natives that refused to put on some type of uniform to differentiate themselves from the rest before attacking the United States then blending back into the local native settlements. This is very similar to what Hamas keeps doing in Israel, causing the Israelis to have to keep bombing Gaza. With Sand Creek, a band of renegades were hitting U.S. settlements then sliding into Sand Creek and a hand full of other settlements in the area to hide afterwards. And, much like Israel, the United States retaliated. Sadly, the Renegades had already slipped away the day before so all the casualties were civilian noncombatants.
Why do I bring this up? Because glossing over this stuff, much like with Hamas, lets the terrorists win. It allows them to glorify their causes by saying 'Look at what this group we are fighting is doing to civilians' while glossing over the civilians that they, themselves, have killed. This perpetuates a bloody cycle of civilians/non-combatants getting killed for just trying to live their lives because they got dragged into something that does not concern them. Yes, I know that every Israeli serves at least one year in the military... but look at the recent attack that perpetuated the current events. Tourists were hurt and killed, people with absolutely no ties to either the nation of Israel OR the Palestinian resistance movements.

Regarding the residential schools and such. For context the last residential school was closed in 1996. One of the people who voted to keep them open, is the current prime minister's father. If you don't know what a residential school is, they basically kidnapped native children, and put them in these boarding schools. They beat the children for observing their native customs, speaking their own language, ect. There were also multiple cases of child S/A. As well as children being 'adopted' to new families. Despite their parents still being alive.
If you're interested in learning more, you should also look up what they did to the indigenous people who signed up for 'Indian status". It wasn't good. Supposedly it's getting better, but I still hear about status "Indians' being denied in hospitals. (Albeit mostly from non-satus people)
As well, said prime minister made a new holiday to "Honour the loss" after what was thought to be a mass grave was discovered. He then proceeded to go surfing on said day, outside of the country.

The true origins of "why" Thanksgiving came about, unlike what we were taught where Indians and the Englishmen shook hands and became friends, that is Not the real reason why Thanksgiving became a celebrated holiday. That was just a small part of it, it was more for the scalping like in story 19, where they got paid for Native scalps of any and all ages. It wasn't a 'peace and friendship' celebration like we were taught in school it was a celebration of torture and getting paid for "conquering and killing" Native for their scalps. But you won't hear about this side of Thanksgiving in any public school, I'm sure, cause I was never taught that in school, my mom was the one who enlightened me on the darker side of that particular holiday.

Fifteen years ago, I had to research the penal colony in French Guyana for French classes. That it existed is well-known; until when it existed is something I am to this day not certain about. It may have changed, but fifteen years ago, most sources I found tended to claim either 1923 and 1938/39, both of which are important milestones towards the closure, but neither is the actual year the system was shut down. That process only really began in 1946. Considering the real year the last "camp de transportation" in Guyana closed its doors is somewhere between 1953 and '67, I am fairly convinced that the lack of information is deliberate...
We’re actually in the middle of another solar flare cycle at the moment. If anyone noticed the crazy Auroras throughout May that was seen across the world in some pretty unusual places, that was the beginning of the solar cycle, which should be at its peak sometime July 2025 - we have become somewhat more aware of these cycles since the Carrington event, so power stations have time to prepare for such events… still if something like that were to hit us again, the damage would be quite catastrophic unfortunately 😢

1. I (and many more people) lost my eye due to communism. The scenario goes like this: a newborn ends up in incubator due to some condition. The incubator is either a soviet, primitive design or western model that was imported at cost, but no one knows how to use it. The baby has low oxygen saturation, so in soviet model it gets pure oxygen. In western unit no one knows how to use, it also is set to full O2. Add to that some quartz light for vitamin D deficiency and the retina is destroyed, starting from place where optic nerve connects to it. In my case hereditary glaucoma added to it and my left eye is now shriveled, grayish ball, sunken in the socket. Many more people born from 1970s to 1990 ended up with the eyeball(-s) removed completely for esthetic reasons.
2. -Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia. Between 1943 and 1945 Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) with active participation of the locals committed a series of massacres of local minority of Poles in the regions of Volhynia and Eastern Galicia. These crimes are ignored by Ukrainians, as UPA for many of them is not a band of nationalist murderers, but national heroes. Ukrainians won't even permit Poles exhume the victims of those massacres from the mass graves, because it would be bad for their PR to show that they were as bad as russians now, or soviets during WW2. This is a problematic issue in the relations between Poland and Ukraine, and should have been solved years ago, and especially now, considering how much support from both polish government and polish people Ukraine received during the invasion of Russia.
3. Before Warsaw Uprising in 1944 (which was basically an idiocy of generals that murdered many thousands of people), there were more than 30 earlier uprisings, starting after First Partition of Poland in 1772. Only two of them were successful, but only short-term. Long term they didn't matter at all.
4. Almost every major medical advancement has at least few victims of experimentation. For example early organ transplants were made using donor organs of animals, usually primates. Desperate people and their families agreed to those, often not well researched, experiments, which ended in death. If you like dogs, and other animals, don't look up the early history of neuroscience.
5. The Łódź Skinhunters, or ambulance crews that murdered people to get a kickback from funeral homes. Only few people were found, but prevailing theory is that there were more of them. Shrouded Hand has video about it.
6. Baltic sea has an area where tons of chemical warfare munitions were just dropped and forgotten. These tanks are there, quietly rusting away at the bottom of the sea. Near polish coast.

THE RADIUM GIRLS MENTIONED
In the 1800s, the USA kept an enslaved man in a zoo next to the chimpanzees
I think I’ve only even heard of the African wars listed before because of my mom’s expansive focus on recent history and current events. But this reminder gives me a new rabbithole for research
I can’t remember offhand if any of them were in my world history textbooks but it’s unlikely, considering that most wars I’ve heard of at all were notably absent, even the French-Indian War being fully absent in a World History textbook targeted to American high school students
I think so too. We had 3 school hours about Africa and the colonial era, but nothing about the history of every state in Africa. Now I’m really interested to learn more about this missing history.
i am a 8th grade canadian and i learned about residental schools in grade 6, also it is required the goverment do 90 requests by the indigenous
You hear a lot about the slave trade, you gloss over the very worst part of it. The door of no return, and the middle passage is some of the most unsettling shit I’ve ever had the misfortune to obsess over. It was like I wanted to cry.
Dude talking about communism, anarchism, and socialism being the same thing clearly has no idea what he is talking about and its the point in which I stopped listening.
Guess he doesn't realize most if not all 1st world countries practice a level of socialism including the U.S. It's why you can get food and resources when you are hard up. Weird he didn't bring up how toxic capitalism is getting these days where some people in the US are forced to give themselves stitches or surgery or even crazier shit because they literally can't afford to go to a doctor. Or how we have starving people because companies would rather create a ton of food waste then give it out for free to people in lower income levels. Or how people are working 12 hour shifts 5-6 days a week and still barely making enough for rent. It's always amazed me that people will praise capitalism to the heavens in one breath and then worry over their ability to afford their life saving medication in the next
Ah Reddit… hating on everything, including the tragic death of a kid from an accident
what
The people who got killed by the radiation in their food
@@capt.kneecaps5237 the post about radiation and a kid eating contaminated food. The edit implied a lot.
Who could laugh at you for murdering those names. It doesn't matter how you pronounce them the horrific acts on those poor people speak for themselves.
Story 12
This is also why highland foods no longer have spice... Because of poverty
I don't know how unknown these events are. For example, the My Lai massacre is the most famous US wartime atrocity in the last 100 years or so. A lot of the others are similarly the most famous version of whatever type of tragedy they are.
there are a lot, especially in WWII.
Rosewood, FL and the Tulsa Massacre.
Up until the 1900 hurricane, Galveston was the biggest city in Texas. Hurricane destroyed the island. The first 3 floors of a 4 story building completely underwater. It's also rumored Galveston is haunted
See, I struggle with Unit 731. What they did is so horrible that it cant be explained by words, but on the other hand their research has boosted medical and anatomical knoweldge to what we know today. If it werent for them we probably wouldnt know what we do today about the human body and its responses to stimuli.
As far as I know most of that research was so poorly done it was essentially worthless.They would just do whatever sadistic thing they wanted at the time.
Not true at all, their research really didn't contribute much at all to modern medical knowledge. Like Mengele, most of research done was just pseudoscience combined with unimaginable sadism
I think it was called celios that's what old film was made out of and it was extremely combustible, that's why they were so many fires
On the story about humans almost going extinct. I understand wanting more information but that's just it, we don't know what happened. All we know is some genes exploded in popularity and others became very rare and that it implies a near extinction event. That's the scariest part really, if we don't know what did it whose to say it's not right under our noses waiting to do it again?
Great video! I hope you do more like it.
If they didn’t mention the Wilmington Coup, I was going to. We only learned about it recently in my school(s).
Here early! Excited to hear this one.
Its interesting how Japan won't let anyone forget about Nagasaki and Hiroshima (rightfully so), but they will willingly let their extensive list of war crimes against everyone else fade away into the past and be lost to time

The Tenerife account is inaccurate. The KLM 747 was taking off not landing. The Dutch plane took off without clearence because its captain was impatient. He'd alao decided to add fuel during the down time at Tenerife so he was heavier and inable to clear the Pan Am 747 who had tried to veer off the runway.
1903 was when the entire city of Chicago burned down not just a single theater
