Charles II was a very tragic character who suffered through a lot of pain throughout his life. One thing that strikes me was that he was in fact very much in love with his first wife, Marie-Louise d'Orleans, and while she was initially repulsed and terrified by his unusual appearance, in time she came to love him as well. Unfortunately, though, she had a tough life at the Spanish court - she found it grim, rigid and unwelcoming, her mother-in-law openly disliked her, and the couple's inability to conceive was blamed solely on her. She was forced to undergo painful fertility "treatments" that caused her health to decline. She found comfort in drinking sweet beverages with an extremely high concentration of sugar, which led to her gaining a lot of weight and developing gastrointestinal problems, eventually resulting in her death. Charles was completely devastated by her death, but he couldn't even mourn her properly, because his mother wasted no time in marrying him off to another woman, hoping to secure that much-needed heir (which of course didn't happen). The loss of Marie-Louise precipitated his mental and physical deterioration, and by the time he died some ten years later, at age 38, he was already senile and had multiple organ failure. In many ways, every single misfortune he suffered in his life can be blamed on his family's obsession with retaining power.
Oh my god . People of every damn colors were slaves. So quit making look like blacks were the only ones. If you know your history blacks were owned by their own color and sold to other slave owners.
Oh boy here's some more lies. Okay let's ask a question who was the wealthiest slave owner in the world. If you said he was black and in Africa you would be right. Which religion profited more from slavery than any other. If you said Islam you would be right. Were slaves offered freedom in America. In fact slaves were offered freedom to fight for the British in the American revolution and during the civil war in yet they most did not leave. Do you want some more lies about slavery. Codeine with the French code for slavery in Louisiana and Louisiana territories did you know slaves actually owned slaves. I hear some unhealthy Truth for those who stole disbelieve about the evidence that I'm presenting did you know in most plantations in the South and North America they were right next to the Masters homes. You know it's also interesting that there was no Gates there was no walls there was no barriers between them and their owners in fact they loved their owners and many of them took on their owners last name. The truth about propaganda inciting racial division and the truth about what really went on in slavery is something you have to get an education on.😂
When you make a deal with the Devil he will give you what you want but remember you owe him your soul I rather be with the Lord and have nothing and follow him to his kingdom!
Dietrich's second picture, I believe, is a still from 'Witness for the Prosecution', a movie based on the Agatha Christie book, with Charles Laughton starring. Excellent movie, as well as the various re=makes. Can be found on here.
What they are saying in this video is not true my grandmother was born Fed 15 1900 and she told us how bad the story's her mom told her my grandmother died in 2003 at the age of 103 years old so stop misleading people and tell the Truth they worked from sun up to sun down by force no they did go learn to read because if they did the were beaten almost to death my grandmother was taught how to write her name by us kids taking our time to teach her and to see the smile on her face made us all cry with joy.but I can say my grandmother taught me how to use a sewing machine and make quilts and I'm so thankful for that and I have my business today because of her.
This is a stain on this so called great land of ours but a day of reckoning for your ancestors will be had on judgement day you better believe it I don't fault any person alive for those atrocities from a time long ago😢😢😢
At 6;30 you say that the Islanders "Never heard any instructions from their Government" where you are referring to the British Government in London. However, Jersey and Guernsey each had their own Governments and parliaments, and still do. These governments continued in a restricted way during the Occupation, because the Germans realised that it would be easier to control the civil population via their own leaders. The Government in London was not (and has never been) the Islanders' government. At 6:38 you refer to English citizens where you mean British citizens. The Islands are not English, but they are British. English people are also British, as are Scottish and Welsh people. At 16:45 you refer to "British people in the Channel Islands" but the deportation notice at that point in the accompanying video (when you read it carefully) specifies which British subjects were to be deported - the majority of the "British people in the Channel Islands" were not subject to the deportation order. The deportations did not apply to Jersey and Guernsey people, all of whom were British but they were not English. At 25:50 you say that "the Channel Islands were part of the United Kingdom again." The UK comprises Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) plus Northern Ireland. The Channel Islands are not, and have never been, a part of the UK but we are a part of the British Isles. I concede that it can be confusing: many English people make the same mistakes!
Although the commentary gives a reasonable overview of the German Occupation of the Channel Islands, many details are incorrect. For example, you often refer to "Nazi officers" and "Nazi soldiers." The occupiers were Germans, only some of whom would have been Nazis, and their army was the German army, not the Nazi army. (See the Army's percentage composition below.) The misuse of Nazi appears to be a modern sanitisation of the truth, as if seeking to absolve Germany from its responsibility for the war and our occupation. In 1939, Britain declared war on Germany, not on the Nazis or their political party. (Chamberlain’s BBC broadcast was unequivocal: “This country is at war with Germany” - not the Conservatives at war with the Nazis.) In the Channel Islands, we have always referred to the German Occupation*, not the Nazi Occupation. Like France, we were occupied by Germany and Germans. We have German bunkers, German gun emplacements and German war tunnels, not Nazi bunkers etc. Not all Germans were Nazis and the words "German" and Nazi" are not interchangeable. Historian Sir Richard Evans* (quoted in this article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism_and_the_Wehrmacht#National_Socialists_within_the_armed_forces ) states that only a third of junior German army officers had become Nazi party members by 1941, whilst historian Omer Bartov is quoted in the same article as writing that the percentage in 1941 for senior officers was even less. In July 1940, (when those German officers arrived in the Islands), the proportions would, by implication, have been lower; although they increased as the war progressed. (Wikipedia may not always be reliable, but on this occasion it quotes reliable sources.) *Sir Richard Evans FBA, FRSL, FRHistS, was Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge University until he retired.
Pretty ridiculous that amongst talk of underage stuff and other debauchery, a bisexual woman who performed without clothes on is considered “perhaps the wildest person of all” 🙄 please.
I'm a wicked witch which bewitched the witch hazel bush. I'm a very modern witch, so I don't fly around a broom stick but I soar through the sky on a battery powered electric vacuum cleaner.
So in late 1940s and early 1950s, Tennesee was not as christian as people portray it as. Violence, corrupt officials like Crump, got away with things until someone fought back violently. WHY CAN'T WE DO THAT nowadays? How come only the Black Lives matter can rebel and do violence, but when our regular american families are cheated by the government, we don't push back.
wow, so the Battle of Athens really happened. Americans , poor people and returning WW2 veterans overthrew and fought against corrupt CRUMP political machine!! I never even heard of this before and was never taught this in school.
Its hard to believe that all these famous riots and mini revolts have been forgotten by most americans. We have forgotten how to fight, rebel and protest when governments small and large oppress us.
