Shocking Pictures Tells Bitter Truth About The War



If the Earth could tell your story, what would it tell us? This planet has seen 14,500 wars and witnessed the death, in these wars, 35 billion people, if you start the report with 3500 BC War is the longest and the tragic aspect of human life, and the world is no man who would she not directly or indirectly touched. In order to understand the truth, do not know the history of the death of each soldier or civilian alone is enough to see these 10 pictures.
Japanese Soldiers.
During the Second World War, more precisely in 1942, Americans have faced fierce resistance of the Japanese on the tiny tropical island of Guadalcanal. Under the clouds of suffocating humidity, surrounded by billions of mosquitoes, the Americans walked across this island. Along with American units, was at the forefront of Life magazine photographer Ralph Morse. And only thanks to him we have the opportunity to see what he saw soldiers, namely the brutality of war. 

During one patrol, the squad came across a set right on the stick dried head of the Japanese soldier, and his mouth was open in an eternal scream. Patrol gave to come closer, as likely head was mined. This picture showed the world the proof of barbarism, which are becoming commonplace in the war. Although the atrocities happened around the world here it took a sophisticated turn. While the Japanese soldiers mined the corpses of American soldiers wounded soldiers beheaded and set their heads on stakes. Both sides made a necklace of teeth defeated enemy as a war trophy.

The bombing of Massawa.
May 29, 1991 came to an end a 30-year struggle for the independence of Eritrea from Ethiopia. The year before that historic day, Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) launched a massive attack on the port city of Massawa Ethiopia, hoping to cut off the supply lines of the Ethiopian army. After three days of fierce fighting, EPLF succeeded in capturing the city. But Ethiopia did not want to give up without a fight such an important bridgehead. For several days, they destroyed the city with napalm and cluster bombs that have killed hundreds of civilians. 

A month later, the aerial bombardment tries again. Virtually the entire infrastructure of the city was destroyed and civilians suffering from hunger and huddled in makeshift shelters. Most of the photos and videos were too horrible for publication in the media, but only one way this ordinary man sitting on the body of a huge bomb says more than any story about the events. Dark, empty gaze of men and his entourage tells us about the life of Eritrean citizens at the time, and we hope that this image will never fade from history.
