"Через пожежі в Європі почали детонувати боєприпаси часів світових воєн", — Associated PressНасправді, від спеки почали вибухати старі, протухлі кремлівські консерви — "режисери", "музиканти", "вчителі", "вчені", "спортсмени" й інші "хороші руzьські" з "команди #huylo". Бо вони не користуються кондиціонерами, через те, що їх навчили, що за допомогою цих пристроїв їх "можуть відстежити, підслухати і викрити західні спецслужби"

"The Arch," Henry Ossawa Tanner, 1919.
The great Black American artist Tanner (1859-1937) painted this scene not long after a huge ceremony at Paris' Arc de Triomphe to commemorate those who died fighting in WWI.
Born in Pittsburgh to an educated family, he studied art there and in Philadelphia, being taught by luminaries like Thomas Eakins. However, he faced racism in the US, and in 1891 he took off for Europe, eventually settling in Paris.
The French accepted him with open arms. He worked with the Red Cross during WWI, and depicted Black soldiers in his works during the period. This was painted after the war was over, and many in France found it a moving work. He received the Legion of Honor in 1923.
From the Brooklyn Museum.

When the Grey Cup Took a Break: War & Disputes 🚫🏈
Imagine a year without the Grey Cup! From 1916 to 1918, the championship was paused due to the profound impact of World War I. Then, in 1919, a rules dispute caused another cancellation. It's a reminder of how much this game means to Canada, even when history intervened. #Canada #GreyCup #CFLHistory #WWI

Actually, @TCatInReality, anyone who understands European history should see that #WWI is a deadly dangerous reminder of how military allliances threaten the security of everyone.
It's very sad to watch how some people either dint know that basic historical lesson, or don't give a damn.

#WWI #WW1 Help please. Which are the best books from France?
I'm a casual reader around society and politics, so I particularly liked that British Army doctor's book. [edit needed obvs] What's available in translation into English that gives a sense of individuals and/or their families going through military service?
Also, I've also only read one German WW1 book. That one. So recommendations are equally welcome for Germany or anywhere that might fit the spec.

Good Morning #Canada
Around this time over 100 years ago the then Minister of Finance announced that #IncomeTax would be implemented. It was 1917 and #WWI had created a huge deficit in government coffers. Income Tax contributions went from zero in 1917 to over 51% of federal revenue today. Taxes are simultaneously unloved and under appreciated, but they do provide a reason for the Fraser Institute to exist.#CanadaIsAwesome #CanPoli

#Manitoba is on an upward trajectory in the past year, except for very recent heat waves and wildfires. The province may be returning to a similar positive period in early 1900 when Winnipeg was booming and 1 of the most beautiful legislature buildings in Canada was built. It's story has many twists and turns, and overcame #WWI, the end of Winnipeg's boom, general strikes, and corruption.#CanadaIsAwesome #History #Architecture

Maurice Ravel drove a supply truck through the mud and horror of WWI—and years later, that experience found its way into one of the most hypnotic pieces of music ever written: Boléro.

In 100 years, what will people remember of our time?
Think back, what stands out
#WWI. #GreatDepression. Of course there's other stories. These stand out
In 100 years, people will not immediately think #COVID. Or #Trump
They will think #Ukraine
Recognize the most stirring story of our time
Ukraine faced down formidable mass murdering ethnofascist madness
And won
"It’s the new reality. There is no major #oilRefinery left in #Russia that has not been struck by Ukraine"

François Valentin: "In comes... Jacques Bainville, a respected French historian who thinks Keynes is totally missing the bigger picture Politics trump economics, especially with Versailles To make that very clear, he calls his pamphlet the *Political* Consequences of Peace" | nitter
https://nitter.net/Valen10Francois/status/1652630810971762689#m"For Bainville Versailles is "a peace that is too soft for its hardness, and too hard for its softness." It does humiliate Germany, but crucially it doesn't seriously weaken it."
