The photos that reveal the horror of eugenics: Disturbing images document a time when those with undesirable genetic traits were sterilised or killed in order to 'cleanse' society These are the horrifying photos from the heyday of the Eugenics movement that the world wants to forget. Before the atrocities of Nazi Germany, eugenics - the system of measuring human traits, seeking out the desirable ones and cutting out the undesirable ones - was once practised the world over. In the decades following the 1859 publication of Charles Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species', a veritable craze for eugenics spread through Britain, the United States and Europe.

He was a small man, only 5-foot-5, but he cast a shadow that stretched across the Arabian Arabian peninsula.  Dressed in the thobe and ghoutra of an Arab sheikh, he banded together the Arab tribes and led his Bedouin raiders across the desert that had never been crossed, the Nafud, to assault the landward side of Aqaba, a World War I Turkish stronghold. And, after that stunning achievement, with the aid of the British army, he took his ragtag Bedouin force and launched a guerilla campaign that cost the Turks precious manpower and equipment.  His name was Thomas Edward Lawrence, better known now as “Lawrence of Arabia.” But was his death in May 1935 a tragic motorcycle accident or a carefully planned political assassination? T.E. Lawrence was born in 1888, one of five boys born to Sir Thomas Chapman and Sarah Junner, a governess to Chapman’s first family. Although the pair never married, Chapman, who adopted the name Lawrence, left his first wife and lived with Junner. Eventually the fa

Children suffered on the home front along with adults during bombings and ground attacks, but they also did some attacking and defending of their own at the front lines.

Extraordinary X-rays show how 150-year-old dolls were used to smuggle drugs during U.S. Civil War Two 150-year-old dolls have been x-rayed in a bid to discover if they were used by Confederate soldiers to smuggle medical supplies past Union blockades during the U.S. Civil War. It is thought the large dolls - Nina and Lucy Ann - had their hollowed out papier-mache heads stuffed with quinine or morphine for wounded and malaria-stricken Confederate troops. The Union blockade lasted from 1861 until 1865 and was intended to thwart the delivery of weapons, soldiers and supplies such as medicine to the South.... Rhett Butler, the fictional rogue played by Clark Gable in the 1939 film version of Margaret Mitchell's book Gone With The Wind, was a blockade runner. Historians believe the dolls were likely packed with supplies and shipped from Europe in the hope that Union troops would not inspect children's toys while looking for contraband. The dolls were taken from their home at The Mus

A young member of the Milice française, a paramilitary force created by France's Vichy Regime (with German aid) is secured and readied to be executed for collaboration by a Resistance firing squad. Grenoble, France. 2 September 1944. The Milice française (French Militia), generally called la Milice (literally 'the militia'; French pronunciation: [milis]), was a political paramilitary organization created on 30 January 1943 by the Vichy regime (with German aid) to help fight against the French Resistance during World War II. The Milice's formal head was Prime Minister Pierre Laval, although its chief of operations and de facto leader was Secretary General Joseph Darnand. It participated in summary executions and assassinations, helping to round up Jews and résistants in France for deportation. It was the successor to Darnand's Service d'ordre légionnaire (SOL) militia. The Milice was the Vichy regime's most extreme manifestation of fascism. Ultimately, Darnan
