    This is a compilation of four videos I did in early 2022 so for those of you who have been around a while you may have seen some of this before. Also, I should point out that the picture supposedly of Putin with Reagan in the first episode is almost certainly NOT Putin. Also (since I know there will be comments) - I know the barricades in Les Miserables are from the 1832 June rebellion and not 1848, I was just pointing out the familiarity of them.

    The picture of the Chinese baby crying always gets me because both sides of my family are from the Shanghai area and my grandfather was a general in the Nationalist army and probably would have been involved in the fighting at that time. My father was born in 1941 and he and his family lived in Nanjing during the war while Shanghai was occupied by the Japanese.

    I loved these the first time I saw them and I still love them today. No matter how many times you look at old photos you can always find something you never saw before. The D-Day landing photo I notice the smoke from the shell behind the beach. I’ve looked at that photo a hundred times and this was the first time I saw it. I hope you do this again. The photos are amazing with history they tell. 👍😊

    Very cool set of episodes! There were a few I hadn't seen before. One point of note, concerning the piper. Not all pipers were Scottish. There were quite a number of Highland units in Canada, Australia and other British Imperial countries who had served in the trenches. One, Piper James Richardson, was awarded the Victoria Cross, posthumously. He was a member of the Seaforth Highlanders in British Columbia, Canada. Hope at some point you do some more of these famous photos.

    Picture suggestion: 'Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria posing as a mummy while in Cairo, 1894.'
    Note: He wasn't wrapped in bandages but had his picture taken while standing inside a sarcophagus that had the face cut out.
    Side note: I put a link to this image in a comment on a previous video of yours, but I can't seem to find it, so something must've gone wrong due to there being a link in the comment, so I won't link it here, just copy the bit between the apostrophes and paste into Google and... you get the picture.

    5:55 I don't think it was a mess with this switch of sides - for sure not in Sweden. I heard from one Swedish lady, that during that change, for few hours it was prohibited to drive a car to avoid such mess. And then for 10 minutes every "essential vehicle" which anyway had to move, had to stop and carefully change the sides. And I think it was done during a night. Does it make sense?

    The similarity in appearance between the royal cousins (related through their grandmother, Queen Victoria) was such that the same actor Tom Hollander played King George V, Czar Nicholas II, and Kaiser Wilhelm II in The King's Man.

    • @VloggingThroughHistory
      @VloggingThroughHistory  Před 7 měsíci +1

      He did indeed, though Nicholas II was not a grandson of Victoria (his wife was her granddaughter). Nicholas and George V were related through their mothers who were sisters.
