Abraham Lincoln: The Unremembered Man

Athelstan: The First Monarch of England

Athelstan: The First King of England 3 Sep 2024 --- #biography #england #history In the past, we have already looked at the life of Alfred the Great, the King of Wessex who repelled the Viking invasion and proclaimed himself the King of the Anglo-Saxons. Afterward, we studied the tale of his son and heir, Edward the Elder, who continued his father’s Viking-bashing ways, further fortified his position, and even added new territories to his kingdom. So if you want to get the picture in full, maybe watch those two videos first if you haven’t already seen them. The goal both Alfred and Edward had in mind was obvious - to unite England under their rule. But although both men were instrumental in laying the foundations to accomplish this, neither one lived long enough to see their ambition fulfilled. Instead, that honor went to Edward’s son and the final subject in our little trilogy, Athelstan, the first King of England. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?

Sergeant Stubby: WWI's Most Decorated Canine

"Sergeant Stubby: The Most Decorated Dog of WWI 28 Mar 2024 --- From 1914 to 1918, tens of millions of young men suffered the horrors of the Great War: the trenches, the maddening din of artillery, the hail of machine guns, and the deadly fog released by gas attacks. Almost 10 million of them never returned home. But even when trudging through the mud, the mist, and the misery, millions of men could count on an army of brave and loyal companions: some 16 million animals who served on both sides of the conflict. Horses, pigeons, and dogs were conscripted to transport supplies, serve as messengers, stand guard, or even provide first aid. Dogs proved rather versatile, as they hauled weapons and supplies, carried messages, killed vermin in the trenches, detected enemy scouts, and stood guard. As many as 10,000 canine friends were trained to find wounded soldiers in no man's land. They became known as “mercy dogs”; clad in a Red Cross vest, they carried a first aid kit, water, and liquor to comfort wounded troops. In today’s Biographics, we are proud to bring you the story of a small mongrel who could, and did, perform all of those duties. More astoundingly, our friend was not conscripted. In fact, one may argue that he volunteered. This is the story of “Sergeant” Stubby, the most decorated dog of World War I. → Subscribe for new videos at least twice a week! https://www.youtube.com/c/biographics?sub_confirmation=1 Love content?
