An Ethiopian resistance fighter photographed in 1941. Patriotic resistance persisted throughout the occupation despite Ethiopia's military collapse in 1935–1936 after the Second Italo-Ethiopian war. From the beginning, many patriotic Ethiopians were committed to carrying on the fight, despite the military might of the occupying Italians. The struggle continued for another three years until most of Ethiopia was "pacified" just before the outbreak of the Second World War. However, the Arbegnoch (Ethiopian guerrillas) were still in control of nearly a quarter of the Ethiopian highlands through late 1939. By the eve of World War II, they were still in control of Harar and the Galla-Sidamo Governorate and remained active in Italian East Africa from 1936 until 1941. In 1941, during World War II, Ethiopia was occupied by Allied forces, mainly from the British Empire, in the East African Campaign, but an Italian guerrilla war continued until 1943. The country was placed under British military administration; Emperor Haile Selassie was allowed to return and claim his throne, but the British authorities ruled the country until December 1944, when full sovereignty was restored with the signing of an Anglo-Ethiopian Agreement, although some regions remained under British control for more years. #secondworldwar #ww2 #worldwartwo #worldwar2 #war #history #militaryhistory #military #colourised #colorized #colourisedhistory #colorizedhistory #color #colour #colorizedhistoricalphotos #colorization #colourisation #retro #goodolddays #classic #goldenoldies #colorizedphoto #colourisedphoto #ethiopia #resistance #africa https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFLNzXKNxf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Remember when X-men was about Nightcrawler being a priest who had to stop his demon pirate dad? Good times.
Still can't believe how downhill they went. Also, this is best version of Azazel.

I found these photos from a long long time ago where life was simple and I had a group of friends all really into 40k with me. I still remember the “living room battle of ‘98” fondly where we use ALL of our models without much thought to points cost and every piece of packing and “terrain” we could muster. Took up my entire living room for the whole day. Great understanding from the mother ship @katherinerhydderch #warhammer #friends #throwback #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #spacemarines #imperialguard #orks #40k #goodolddays (at Tredegar) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClAP-iANLoH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🔸 1919 Olive Thomas and her Russian wolfhound, by Hartsook Studios. She was a silent movie actress and one of the original jazz era flappers who sadly died a year later in 1920. She swallowed a bottle of corrosive bichloride mercury in a hotel bathroom in Paris Ritz: an “accidental” death apparently.

Nostalgia is truly one of the great human weaknesses. Second only to the neck.
I miss who I was
Who I used to be
How I had the time to rest and read
To love and live
I miss the adventures and the laughs
And the friends I once had
The places I used to go
The music I listened to
How I lived, as simple as it was
How my mom used to wait for me at home
The newness
The freedom
I miss the empty days
Left for me to fill
Miss my first love
Missed the first kiss
I miss, I miss, I miss
And even though I miss so much
I’m glad those days are now behind
Living comfortably in my mind
Coming to visit me every once in a while
Hiding in the corner of a song
Dancing in the middle of a book
Silently watching me go to an old place
[with new people as nostalgic me].

The Smell of Summer
It's January but it smells like April. I guess , the nature too sometimes want to deviate from what's normal and expected. The birds are chirping. The wind that blows has collected the fragrance of all the holly jolly laughter and love all around and it takes me just back to when I was carefree. A child. Learning, evolving with hopes and dreams, where a new pencil smelled like joy and a set of coloring box brought out a big grin. Times have changed. So have I. It's the only constant. Now I crave to go back to those simpler days.

A Polish boy carrying loaves of bread provided by the Red Cross in an Iranian refugee camp during WW2. After the 1939 wave of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union’s invasion of Poland, thousands of Poles who were sent to Siberia managed to escape the Soviet Union. They ended up in India, Palestine, Iran, British Africa, New Zealand, and as far away as Mexico. #secondworldwar #ww2 #worldwartwo #worldwar2 #war #history #militaryhistory #military #colourised #colorized #colourisedhistory #colorizedhistory #color #colour #colorizedhistoricalphotos #colorization #colourisation #retro #goodolddays #classic #goldenoldies #colorizedphoto #colourisedphoto #iran #refugee #poland #invasionofpoland Library of Congress www.thevintagenews.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CiLGVzxKJfI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
