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.
