HistoryPhotos is for photographs (or, if it can be found, film) of the past, recent or distant! Give us a little snapshot of history!

Rules

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
  5. Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.

Dubya, 2002: Announces invasion of Afghanistan.

Me: Ah, the graveyard of empires. Brilliant move, asshole.

Dubya, 2003: Announces invasion of Iraq.

Me: The fuck did Iraq have to do with 9/11? Why are we doing this? Have you guys heard of Dick Cheney? Halliburton?

College friends: Abandon me.

Me, 2026: See?
