Oh, Brigitte!<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Before the days of Megan Fox and Margot Robbie, one of Hollywood\u2019s hottest stars was Brigitte Bardot, for very obvious reasons. She knew exactly how to play her roles on camera, and she was hard pressed to turn off that sexuality even when she was no longer shooting. Although it gained her immense success all throughout the 50s and 60s, what she did crave for more than anything was a bit of peace and quiet, and the chance to go unnoticed. She even said in an interview with The Guardian, \u201cI don\u2019t know what it means to sit quietly in a bistro, on a terrace, or in the theatre without being approached by someone.\u201d<\/h6>\n

The Kiss of Life<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

A man named Rocco Morabito happened to be driving down West 26 Street when he saw an incredibly strange sight, especially back in 1967. Two men were hanging off a telephone pole in what looked to be a passionate kiss, but Morabito was soon going to find out that what he thought was two men sharing an intimate moment was actually a life-saving event. Randall G. Champion and J.D. Thompson were utility line workers when Champion accidentally touched a live wire and got knocked out. Thompson quickly moved to action and did CPR to save his life. Morabito even shared of the event, \u201cI heard screaming. I looked up and I saw this man hanging down. Oh my God. I didn\u2019t know what to do. I took a picture right quick. J.D. Thompson was running toward the pole. I went to my car and called an ambulance. I got back to the pole and J.D. was breathing into Champion. I backed off, way off until I hit a house and I couldn\u2019t go any farther. I took another picture. Then I heard Thompson shouting down: He\u2019s breathing!\u201d<\/h6>\n

The Friendship of Einstein and Chaplin<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin happen to be two men who are both incredibly popular, but for very different reasons. While Einstein was the genius behind the E=mC2, Chaplin was best known for his funny antics and \u201csilent\u201d work in movies. The two were introduced at a dinner by a common friend and they became very good friends afterwards. This photo was taken at the premiere of City Lights back in 1931, which starred Chaplin. Einstein reportedly exclaimed that he was jealous of Chaplin\u2019s fame \u2018because without a word the world understands him, to which Chaplin replied, \u201cBut your fame is even greater\u2026 the world admires you when nobody understands you.\u201d\u2019<\/h6>\n

The Purple-Eyed Hollywood Queen<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Regardless of whether you remember Elizabeth Taylor for her rumored violet eyes (something black and white photos could never show), her acting work, or her marriage history, the one thing many do recall is just how gorgeous she was. She had an incredibly illustrious career, having starred across some of the most well-known and beloved actors, including Rock Hudson, as well as James Dean in her hit movie, \u2018Giant.\u2019 According to Taylor in a Rolling Stone magazine interview, \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve seen Giant. I don\u2019t look at old movies of myself. I don\u2019t even look at new ones of myself. But I loved Jimmy and I loved Rock. And I was the last person Jimmy was with before he drove to his death\u2026But that was a private, personal moment.\u201d<\/h6>\n

The Many Lairs of Adolf Hitler<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Adolf Hitler will forever be remembered as a tyrant dictator that led the Nazi Germany regime and killed over six million Jews. One look at this photo and you\u2019d just think that it was a bunch of buddies sitting around enjoying an afternoon chat and not a trio plotting how to win World War II. Throughout Hitler\u2019s reign of terror, he collected a number of lairs all throughout Europe, including one in Obersalzberg in the Bavarian Alps in Bavaria, Germany. Like many of his other homes, it was eventually found, raided, looted and burned during his last days as dictator. Before Hitler could be found and tried for his crimes, he and his wife, Eva Braun, committed suicide in one of them on April 30, 1945.<\/h6>\n

Smallest, Tallest and Biggest<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

A priest, a rabbi and a minister walk into a bar\u2026 Okay fine these guys aren\u2019t that kind of joke. But they do fit the description of the smallest, the tallest and the biggest. During their time, these three men used their physical characteristics for work, being notable luminaries who were known to be \u201cthe top of their field\u201d just because of the way they looked. While the strange and obscure always made the best type of entertainment back then by giving the people something to talk about, there was nothing else different about them aside from their physical characteristics. They may have looked different, but they sure did act just like everyone else, enjoying a night of poker while downing a few glasses of alcohol.<\/h6>\n

Is It Foggy or What?<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

This photo has quite the backstory. Taken in 1954, it shows player Jack Kelsey, who happened to be the goalkeeper for Arsenal at the time. Supposedly it was so foggy that day that the game they were playing was called off at 61-minutes in. Unfortunately, no one told him so he stood on the pitch for another 15 minutes afterwards because he had no clue that it was done. According to Kelsey, \u201cI paced up and down my goal-line, happy in the knowledge that Chelsea were being pinned in their own half. \u2018The boys must be giving the Pensioners the hammer,\u2019 I thought smugly, as I stamped my feet for warmth\u2026 After a long time a figure loomed out of the curtain of fog in front of me. It was a policeman, and he gaped at me incredulously. \u2018What on earth are you doing here?\u2019 he gasped. \u2018The game was stopped a quarter of an hour ago. The field\u2019s completely empty\u2019. And when I groped my way to the dressing-room, the rest of the Charlton team, already out of the bath and in their civvies, were convulsed with laughter.\u201d<\/h6>\n

The Legacy of 6-Year Old Rub Bridges<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Can you imagine what it must have been like for a little 6-year old girl needing to be escorted to school by federal marshals, all because of the color of her skin? Sadly for Rub Bridges, this was her reality as she attended the William Frantz Elementary School where she was the first black student to be integrated with white students. Sadly, she needed to be protected due to the number of threats and racial slurs she would receive on a daily basis, including parents threatening to remove their kids from school if she continued with her studies. This incredibly young and courageous girl would become one of the faces of the civil rights movement, eventually graduating from high school and starting The Ruby Bridges Foundation in order to work towards equality, tolerance and understanding in America.<\/h6>\n

The Great Depression<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Back in 1920s, the United States went through what the world would come to know as the Great Depression. Wall Street would go belly-up in 1929, leaving millions of people completely bankrupt practically overnight. The crash cost investors at least $30 billion dollars, which today is equivalent to almost $400 billion today. This photograph is the perfect example of a man that had it all one minute, and lost it all the next. It would take around a decade for America to get off its feet once more, but a lifetime for anyone to forget.<\/h6>\n

It\u2019s Popeye!<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re a kid of the 70s and 80s, then you must be thinking, \u201cDang! Popeye is a real dude!\u201d Well, you aren\u2019t exactly wrong. The man in the photo was nicknamed Popeye, and he worked for the battleship HMS Rodney for over 20 years, but he wasn\u2019t the actual inspiration for the popular cartoon. Apparently, it was all just a very spooky coincidence that E.C. Segar, who did create Popeye, came up with a cartoon that happened to be this guy\u2019s doppelganger. And in case you need to see the cartoon for yourself, just head to YouTube and take a looksee. It\u2019s an incredibly eerie resemblance, seriously.<\/h6>\n

Titanic Survivor Brothers<\/h2>\n

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

When the RMS Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean back on April 14, 1912, over 1,500 people died. These two boys, orphaned brothers Michael and Edmond Navratil, were the only two children rescued without a parent or guardian. But when many thought all was lost, these two boys would eventually make it back to France where their mother happened to be. Authorities originally believed that both parents had died during the disaster, but apparently the boys\u2019 father had kidnapped them from their mother and took them on the Titanic, while their mother was actually still in France. In an amazing twist of fate, these boys were returned and reunited with their mother.<\/h6>\n

The Original Sex Symbol<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Marilyn Monroe will forever go down in history as the very first sex symbol in Hollywood. Aside from being the very first face to pose on the front of Playboy Magazine, Norma Jean Baker, which is her real name, never shied away from a challenge, even if that meant showing off too much skin. This particular photo of a stunning Marilyn in pink was taken and published in Life Magazine in the home of silent film star, Harold Lloyd, where she was staying as their house guest. Think what you want about her but Lloyd\u2019s own daughter shared, \u201cShe was my age, or maybe a year or two younger, but we came from very different worlds. She sat down to put on her makeup, and we just started chatting about our lives. She insisted on seeing the baby and talked about how she dreamed of having a child of her own one day.\u201d<\/h6>\n

The Swearing In of Lyndon B. Johnson<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Can you imagine being sworn in as president of a country because the actual president was just shot to his death? That is exactly what is happening in this November 22, 1963 photograph. With Jackie O. on his left and his wife Lady Bird on his right, Lyndon B. Johnson took the place of her murdered husband in the confines of the Air Force One. They are all still shocked and confused over what had just happened, not knowing what the plight of America was going to be after that moment. And the worst part? Jackie O. is still wearing her husband\u2019s splattered blood on her clothes.<\/h6>\n

The Horror of Auschwitz-Birkenau<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019ve studied your history, then you\u2019ll also know the name of the infamous concentration and death camp during Nazi Germany, Auschwitz-Birkenau. While the stories of the gruesome goingson within the camp are horrific enough, what might even be worse is that when the camp officers chose to flee the camp because they had lost the war, they left tons of dying, starving and sick people in the camp with nowhere to go and no way to survive. When these Jews were finally found by the Soviet army, one solider named Georgii Elisavetskii shared, \u201cThey rushed toward us shouting, fell on their knees, kissed the flaps of our overcoats, and threw their arms around our legs.\u201d<\/h6>\n

What Night Fishing in Hawaii Looked Like in 1948<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

The beauty of this photo being colorized is that now you can see the blazing fire that this fisherman is holding. Back in the day, the fire was used as the light that would help lead the way in order for them to go spear fishing, using a pole called kukui-nut. While the fire would help with light, it also aided in bringing fish forward to make it easier to catch them. The poles were made with strong native wood and coconut leaves, and had to be at least six to seven feet in length. One has to wonder if they still go spear fishing like this until today.<\/h6>\n

The Smallest Man on the Planet<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

In 1956, a man named Henry Behrens topped the list of the smallest man in the world during his lifetime. Standing just 30 inches in height, he also only weighed 32 pounds in total, his miniscule size making him incredibly popular at the time. In case you want to make sure that what you\u2019re seeing isn\u2019t an optical illusion, search for his photo shoot with Life magazine. Part of the shoot shows him dancing with his pet cat in front of his house in Worthing. And while Behrens had no issues being famous for his lack of height, people were still in shock about just how tiny he was.<\/h6>\n

A Gun-Slinging Pablo Picasso<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

You\u2019re probably much more used to Pablo Picasso wielding a paint brush than a revolver, but apparently depending on who he\u2019s hanging out with, his interests become varied. The props you see him holding here were given to him by Gary Cooper while hanging out during the Cannes Film Festival in 1958. Unlike many other artists, Picasso happened to be incredibly popular and celebrated in his time. His paintings have been sold for millions of dollars, the Dora Maar Au Chat from 1941 actually sold at $95.216 million. He also had a tendency to invite guests over to his homes to entertain, even if it meant acting like a cowboy, hat, pistol and all.<\/h6>\n

The Look of Love<\/h2>\n

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Many believed that the marriage of Jacqueline Bouvier and John F. Kennedy was a fairytale come true. But anyone who knows about them also knew the many \u201cghosts\u201d that haunted their marriage, including that of Marilyn Monroe. These photos were taken in Cape Cod during a trip they took soon after they had gotten married. While she\u2019s looking at him with what looks like major adoration, she also said that it must have been too good to be true. She explained, \u201cNow, I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it \u2014 but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together. So now, he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man.\u201d<\/h6>\n

Tolstoy on Love<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

The original photograph was taken in 1908, and eventually colorized to see the fullness of the photo. Russian novelist, Leo Tolstoy, is known as one of the most prized and loved writers up to today. This photo was taken just two years before he died, and he wrote what he believed was \u2018the most important thing to him in his final days.\u2019 He said, \u201cLove is life. Everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.\u201d<\/h6>\n

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Most people are used to seeing the honorable Winston Churchill as a much older gentleman. But this photo portrays a 21-year old Churchill back in 1985, who served as the Cornet in the 4th Queen\u2019s Hussar\u2019s Cavalry. Known for his quotes, and one of Great Britain\u2019s best politicians, he is probably also one of the most cited individuals and most beloved Prime Ministers in all of Britain\u2019s history. One of his more famous quotes was, \u201cAll the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope,\u201d words that still ring true up to this very day.<\/h6>\n

The Heartbreak of a 16-Year Old Soldier<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

World War II was one of the bloodiest and worst times in the world, spewing hatred, pain, destruction and sadness all throughout the nations. This 16-year old boy was a German soldier named Hans-Georg Henke that happened to be taken by the US Army back in 1945. While 16 may seem like an incredibly young age to be in the army, during those times, some kids had no choice but to do what they could for their family\u2019s survival, even if that meant joining the army and putting their lives at risk. If there is one iconic photo that shows the emotional state of what most of the world population was going through at that time, this has to be it.<\/h6>\n

Spilling Out<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

This is probably one of the most popular photographs of Sophia Loren, sadly not because of her though. While Loren is sitting at a table having a drink, the very busty Jayne Mansfield is stealing the show by simply leaning over. Of course, whether she knew she was going to be spilling out of her dress or not, which she must have considering that she\u2019s almost bare chested in the photo, Mansfield managed to take any attention these two ladies were getting. And looking at the picture, can you blame them? Needless to say, Loren never autographs this photo when presented one by fans. Can you blame her?<\/h6>\n

Ambulance Driver, Queen Elizabeth, in 1945<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Most people think of Queen Elizabeth as the adorable little lady monarch with white hair, extremely bright clothing and a matching bag. But what many don\u2019t realize is that, despite becoming queen at 25, she was able quite capable of doing her part. This photo was taken when she was just 18 years old, after pestering her father enough that he finally allowed her to join the army. She served as an ambulance driver for the Auxiliary Territorial Service in WWII, and aside from driving an ambulance, she also trained as a truck driver and a mechanic. Suffice to say she probably knows how to run a country and fix your car!<\/h6>\n

The Beaches of Normandy<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

The storming of the beaches of Normandy has gone down as one of the most important days in history. Men from England, America and Canada marched on to the beach in France to take it back from Nazi Germany with no idea what their fate would be. One soldier with the 626th Engineer Light Equipment Company, Tom Jensen, said of that day, \u201cThey didn’t tell us anything we didn’t need to know. Heck, some of the guys on our ship thought we were headed to Japan, not Normandy. Just months earlier, we were either in high school or working odd jobs. We weren’t soldiers, at least not yet.\u201d<\/h6>\n

\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

While most people would never hitchhike these days due to the danger it presented, back in the 70s, it was basically like free public transportation. Girls and boys alike would stand on the side of the street with their thumb up, looking for the next available person willing to stop for them and give them a ride. Of course, the skimpier the clothing, the better chances you\u2019d actually have of getting picked up. Unfortunately, too many people put their lives at risk while getting in cars with strangers, so these days, it\u2019s become something of the past.<\/h6>\n

\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s difficult to picture Charlie Chaplin not in black and white, and lacking a bowler hat and mustache, but that\u2019s exactly what this photo portrays. This picture of a fairly young 27-year old Chaplin was one before he became famous. Chaplin grew up poor with a down-on-her luck actress for a mother. He eventually found his way to America from London and became a huge success. When asked about his most epic role in the Tramp, which he shares came from memories of his own dad, he said \u201cIt was just released whole from somewhere deep within my father, it was really my father\u2019s alter ego, the little boy who never grew up: ragged, cold, hungry, but still thumbing his nose at the world.\u201d<\/h6>\n

Saving the Mona Lisa<\/h2>\n

The most infamous painting there ever was, the Mona Lisa has had a ton of conspiracy theories as to who the woman in the photograph is, including one theory that it\u2019s actually Michelangelo\u2019s portrayal of himself as a woman. Although these days it sits safely in the Louvre in France, there was a time when it \u201cwent missing\u201d in order to keep it safe from the Nazis during WWII. Director of the museum, Jacques Jaujard implemented a plan to close the museum \u201cfor repairs\u201d so that he could evacuate over 3600 paintings, the Mona Lisa included. And because of that, you can visit the museum and see it for yourself.<\/h6>\n

Because of how this photo was colorized, no one would believe that the actual picture was taken back in 1911. Meteorologist Charles Wright and Geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor managed to photograph the side of an iceberg complete with the Terra Nova ship in the background. Back when explorations of the oceans and the artic were rampant, many explorers wanted to be the first to reach the South Pole. The men on the Terra Nova, led by Robert Falcon Scott, would experience some of the craziest conditions ever but they managed to be the first to reach the South Pole on January 16, 1912, leaving others in their dust.<\/h6>\n

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

When World War II began, men from all over the country were enlisting in the army, leaving the assembly line workforce lacking in employees. Women began taking on jobs in manufacturing, transportation, utilities, and many more to help keep things moving. 21-year old Eunice Hancock was one of the women who ended up working at the Midwest aircraft plant, learning how to operate a compressed-air grinder. Around 2 million women ended up joining the workforce at that time, most of which were helping produce machinery and armaments for the ongoing war.<\/h6>\n

African safaris have always been a thing, and Carl Akeley was one an explorer that loved animals, but would end up experiencing some of the craziest animal encounters ever. Some included being charged by three rhinos, almost being crushed by an elephant, and doing barehand combat against a leopard that almost killed him, and this photo proves who was the victor. Aside from his love of nature and animals, Akeley was also considered the first taxidermist that managed to stuff animals to make them look as \u201clifelike\u201d as possible, studying their bodies to make them appear like how they would if they were still alive.<\/h6>\n

There are a ton of stories about Mata Hari, the dancer turned spy in World War I who used her sexuality and allure to her advantage. Legend has it that she was masquerading as Lady McLeod, a daughter of an English Lord who went bankrupt, eventually forcing her to use her female wiles to make a life for herself. After a failed marriage and life as a mistress, she also had a number of conquests that she used to her advantage, gaining information from them which she sold to the French. She was later on accused of being a German spy as well, and ended up being executed via firing squad in 1917. After refusing to wear a blindfold during her execution, she even blew a kiss to the men who took her life.<\/h6>\n

Originally born Margarita Carmen Cansino, Rita Hayworth was given the nickname \u201cThe Love Goddess\u201d and was known for her incredibly glamorous looks and her amazing dancing talent. Having made it big in the 1940s, she met her future husband, Prince Aly Khan because of her fame, and ended up giving up her career for him. But when she realized he was a womanizer, she left him and went back to Hollywood to revive her career. Her talent was enough to garner more roles, and according to one of her directors, George Cukor, \u201cShe had natural elegance. I saw that immediately, before they fixed her hair, something I may have contributed to did ask for Rita on her first loan\u2010out, \u2018Susan and God,\u2019 where she really had little to do. Yes, I knew, right away, she wasn’t just another pretty girl. Rita made some of her material better than it was.\u201d<\/h6>\n

\u2028Back when drag racing was the biggest social event, one main reason why it was so popular was because of the women that would walk the road in their tiny hot pants before the cars took off. Pam Hardy, who was 18-years old at the time, popped on the scene and had heads turning faster than the wheels of the race cars that would drive down the road. She earned the name \u201cJungle Pam\u201d after meeting the drag racer named \u201cJungle Jim\u201d in West Chester Pennsylvania, and soon became a part of his pit team. Not only did she make a name for herself in the industry, but she\u2019s certainly burned a hole in every person\u2019s memory that happened to see her on the track.<\/h6>\n

Rosa Parks made a name for himself for standing up against prejudice and racism, and refusing to move to the back of a bus after being told that she needed to move for the other white passengers. She was eventually arrested for her refusal, and it was the turning point in Montgomery when for 13 months, there was a boycott of the city\u2019s buses, which became one of the very first and biggest acts of black activism at the time. It also thrust the Civil Rights movement and its founder Martin Luther King, Jr. who\u2019s also in the photo to the limelight, which paved the way for black rights today.<\/h6>\n

Along with his wife, Elsa, Einstein is seen in this photograph attending the premiere of Chaplin\u2019s movie at the time, City Lights. Reportedly, Einstein was said to be jealous of Chaplin\u2019s fame because he felt that Chaplin was understood by the world without even saying a word.

Vivien Leigh was actually an English actress that was hired to take the starring role in Gone With the Wind back in 1939 playing the part of a Southern Belle. At the time, Leigh supposedly had a manic personality, and while dating co-star Laurence Olivier, they were both so sure that the movie would end up a total flop. While thinking about what would be of their careers, Olivier shared, \u201cYou have got to justify yourself in the next two or 3 films (or even 2 or 3 years) by proving that the presumable failure of\u00a0Gone W.T.W.\u00a0was not your fault and you can only do that by being really good in the following parts. To make a success of your career in pictures [is] ESSENTIAL for yourself respect, and our ultimate happiness therefore. \u2026 If you don’t, I am afraid you may become just \u2014 well boring.\u201d<\/h6>\n

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Before Grace Kelly became a household name, she was already living a life of privilege. Born to a mom that was a cover model, and a father who was a champion swimmer who also had a very successful construction company worth millions of dollars. While she could have rested on her family\u2019s laurels, she chose not to. She was determined to make it on her own, despite being told that her chin was \u201ctoo wide\u201d for the film industry. While she finally made a name for herself in Hollywood after 5 years, she found even more fame when she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco, and became Princess Grace of Monaco. But upon taking the crown, she was no longer allowed to have a career in acting.<\/h6>\n

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Sally Field is better known these days for her roles in movies like Mrs. Doubtfire and Where the Heart Is. But the movie that landed her in her place in Hollywood was Gidget, which was filmed in 1965. She was only 18-years old at the time that she took on the role, yet she became a cast favorite for her candor and spunk. As Field explained it, \u201cAfter the first night of my workshop, a casting guy asked me if I had an agent. I didn’t, but I still went in for an interview. The waiting room was filled with girls who looked like movie stars. They all had professional head shots; the only pictures I had were wallet photos of me with my friends. At my screen test, I walked in and said, \u2018Which one is the camera?\u2019 The crew members were like, \u2018Oh, boy.\u2019 But the casting director said, \u2018You’re it.\u2019 God was looking out for me. He thought he’d throw me in the ocean and see if I could swim.\u201d<\/h6>\n

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Sophia Loren is one of those names that everybody knows. The Italian beauty made her debut in acting in the 1951 film, Quo Vadis, when she was just 17-years old. Never shy and always playing to the camera perfectly, whether in movies or photographs, Loren was just one of those women that no one could forget, for very apparent reasons. Loren was once asked about what she would have done differently throughout her career, she shared, \u201cIn a long, long career like I had\u2014and by the way, I have\u2014it\u2019s very difficult to be able to criticize some of the moments that you do by yourself that you never tell to other people. It\u2019s a very normal thing to do because you cannot every time have a big victory \u2013 no, there have been moments, maybe weak moments, where you did something that you are not really very happy about.\u201d<\/h6>\n

\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

Ernst Haas is a photographer that has made a name for himself for his beautiful and powerful depictions of life, with much of his work over the past 40 years showed scenes from World War II. He created a photo essay aptly named \u201cHomecoming,\u201d showing the aftermath of a long and cruel war and those that were forced to suffer through it. While he found widespread popularity for his work, receiving a bunch of job opportunities afterwards, he turned them down saying, \u201cWhat I want is to stay free, so that I can carry out my ideas… I don\u2019t\u00a0think there are many editors who could give me the assignments I give myself.\u201d<\/h6>\n

The Absolute Genius That Is Albert Einstein<\/h2>\n
\"\"

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

The name Albert Einstein is synonymous with genius, yet the actual man who owned the name didn\u2019t think of himself in the same manner. In fact, he actually preferred to be thought of as a creative artist who enjoyed science. Explaining himself in Saturday Evening Post back in 1929, \u201cI believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am\u2026 [but] I would have been surprised if I had been wrong\u2026 I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.\u201d<\/h6>\n

There wasn\u2019t any other artist that was quite like Salvador Dali. His work is not only timeless, but they are true mindbenders that will make anyone want to stare at them for hours, trying to understand what the artist was thinking when he made his masterpieces. This particular photo was taken on the deck of the S.S. Normandie while docked in New York City, where he managed to get a ton of inspiration for his work. Meanwhile, his work has been the talk of many other artists that have gained their own inspiration from his artistic creations.<\/h6>\n

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

The Berlin Wall is a piece of history that will forever be the physical reason for the divide between East and West Germany. If you happened to get stuck behind the wrong wall at the time, unfortunately for you, you had no choice but to suffer the consequences of being separated from your loved ones with no idea of when you would see each other again. In 1963, the border pass agreement was established, but it would still be 25 years before the entire wall would be taken down permanently. This photo shows two brothers reunited after years of being forced to remain apart, and their very obvious reactions are truly priceless.<\/h6>\n

The Sad Reality of War<\/h2>\n

History Daily<\/p><\/div>\n

After the end of World War II, Europe suffered from the extent of battle which ruined much of the continent\u2019s otherwise beautiful exteriors. Yet despite that, people were so happy that the war was finally over, and they wanted to go back to a time when their worlds hadn\u2019t been torn apart. In order to make residents feel normal again, photographers used fake but beautiful backdrops to make their pictures look picturesque, just like this one from Warsaw, Poland. It might not have been the truth, but it was a far better reality than the one they had just come from.<\/h6>\n

He might have written his work over a hundred years ago, but Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde is one of those names that will forever be taught in literary classes. Best known for his novels The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Duchess of Padua, amongst many others, Wilde also spent his time giving lectures to up to 200,000 people at once. He even spent one night in a silver mine in Colorado, explaining, \u201cI dined with the men down there. They were great, strong, well-formed men, of graceful attitude and free motion. Poems everyone one of them. A complete democracy underground. I find people less rough and coarse in such places. There is no chance for roughness. The revolver is their book of etiquette.\u201d<\/h6>\n

Martin Luther King Jr. is the name of the Civil Rights Movement, having spent his days fighting for peace, justice, equality and the end of segregation of race, albeit peacefully. He also was an activist against the use of violence, spreading the word on loving your neighbor regardless of who they were and what they thought. King shared, \u201cI think [violence and hatred] will end up creating many more social problems than they solve, and I’m thinking of a very strong love. I’m not, I’m thinking, I’m thinking of love in action and not something where you say, ‘Love your enemies,’ and just leave it at that, but you love your enemies to the point that you’re willing to sit-in at a lunch counter in order to help them find themselves. You’re willing to go to jail.\u201d<\/h6>\n

Before John F. Kennedy would win the American presidency, his brother Robert F. Kennedy happened to be his campaign manager. Supposedly the most important Democratic National Convention for Kennedy was in July of 1960, when he managed to win the nomination for Democratic candidate. This particular photo between the two brothers shows the sincerity and determination of one brother wanting to run a nation, and the other backing him up completely. It could be said that it was both their efforts that won John the 35th presidency of the United States.<\/h6>\n
