>Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were United States citizens who were executed on June 19, 1953 after being convicted of committing espionage for the Soviet Union. They were accused of transmitting nuclear weapon designs to the Soviet Union; at that time the United States was the only country with nuclear weapons. They also provided top-secret information about radar, sonar, and jet propulsion engines to the USSR.
>For decades, the Rosenbergs' sons Michael and Robert Meeropol and many other defenders maintained that Julius and Ethel were innocent of spying on their country and victims of Cold War paranoia. After the fall of the Soviet Union, much information concerning them was declassified, including a trove of decoded Soviet cables, code-named VENONA, which detailed Julius's role as a courier and recruiter for the Soviets and Ethel's role as an accessory. Their sons' current position is that Julius was legally guilty of the conspiracy charge, though not of atomic spying, while Ethel was only generally aware of his activities. The children believe that their father did not deserve the death penalty and that their mother was wrongly convicted. They continue to campaign for Ethel to be posthumously and legally exonerated.[6]
Plz give me some interesting/weird/important historical events mostly unknown nowadays or that aren't being teached at school. From 0 B.C to this last century
There was a schizsm in the East Roman Christian Church that created the Nestorian Church. They spread eastward into Asia and converted a lot of people to christiananity. they had a lot of luck with the Turkic people and the Chinese. I suspect they mightve been what created Islam
Dominic Cruz
My history teacher in 5th grade refused to cover this because they were jewish. Teacher was a yid herself.
lol I'm not american, I can assure you that 99% of people in my europe country never heard of this Rosenberg's case. It isn't teached in school even in the cold war segments we learned during our cursus. And I suspect that at least 50% of millennial americans never heard of it too
Isaiah Miller
On a related note, when the Soviet archives were made available in the 1990s they also showed that Senator McCarthy was completely right that the US government, and the Hollywood establishment, were riddled with Soviet infiltrators.
I read somewhere that McCarthy's activism started when a CIA whistleblower came to him and told him that there were communists everywhere and no one was doing anything about it. So McCarthy started naming names, and at first got recognition for it because someone was finally having the balls to name the (((communists))). Then the CIA realised where McCarthy was getting his information from, and instead of just shutting down the source started feeding him false information, which would lead McCarthy to discredit himself.
Makes you think when you realise that maybe McCarthy wasn't the alcoholic bully the media painted him as, but one man fighting against a corrupt system who turned to drinking after the traitors managed to discredit him.

>99% of people in my "europe country" never heard of this american espionage case from 70 years ago wow this is truly some HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE. there is a WAR going on for your MIND.

the gold rush was a fraud, pimps funded the underground railroad founding fathers fucked their slaves men and women, Rosenbergs were patsys the real spy escaped back to Moscow
all the news has been fake for at least 100 years, most historical moments photos the past 100 years are CIA photo ops

Grade school kids should be taught about Samantha Smith, a 12-year-old who became a symbol of peace during the Cold War in the early 1980s. She wrote a letter to Yuri Andropov and he wrote back and invited her to visit the Soviet Union.
"Smith attracted extensive media attention in both countries as a "Goodwill Ambassador" and became known as "America's Youngest Ambassador" participating in peacemaking activities in Japan. She wrote a book about her visit to the Soviet Union and co-starred in the television series Lime Street, before her death at the age of 13 in the Bar Harbor Airlines Flight 1808 plane crash."
Part of the buildup to getting Americans involved in World War 1 was a propaganda campaign aimed at making Germans seem like monsters.
A main story?
Germans stole corpses and ran them through 'corpse factories' where they were put on meat hooks and run through an assembly line, ending with the bodies being boiled and chemically treated. TO MAKE SOAP
read this book, it'll change your life
Brayden Stewart
they just started having McCarthy take down people they didn't like and the communists stayed untouched,
funniest shit is how Allen Dulles spent more time advising the Kremlin than he did advising the White House, before he became CIA director

Kennedy was assassinated to cover up hundreds of similar cases.

2 stories not important at all but still
> In 1842, a society was established in Germany, the Verein zum Schutze deutscher Einwanderer in Texas—the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas, or the Adelsverein. The goal was to organize a mass immigration movement to colonize the Republic of Texas, thereby creating a new German state in the heart of America. By 1847, over 5,000 German immigrants had made their way to Texas and established five settlements. Another 2,000 immigrants arrived by 1853. However, the New Germany didn’t happen, mainly through a lack of business sense, mistrust among the members, and losses through land speculation.
>In 1647, when Manhattan was a Dutch colony called New Amsterdam, a married barber-surgeon, commissary of stores, and respected explorer named Harmen Meyndertsz van den Bogaert was caught in flagrante with another man—a black slave. Sodomy was a capital offense according the strict Calvinist faith practiced by the Dutch at the time. Pursued by the authorities, Van den Bogaert broke out of custody in Fort Orange and fled with his lover to an Iroquois village, but was tracked down. In the ensuing struggle to capture him, a shoot-out occurred and a longhouse was set on fire. He was literally dragged away by the posse and returned to Fort Orange. He got out a second time, but drowned in the second escape attempt, possibly making him the first victim of homophobia in North America

Here's one for you Sup Forums, my father used to live down the street from them and walked past their house everyday for work.

world history was an elective when I was in school, no longer mandatory. I took it anyway So you're right, we really don't teach history
Daniel Barnes
wtf how is this possible? This is the most evil thing to do and they do it on purpose

You have fucking nothing mandatory on europe's wars/Kings/christian religion/events during 2000 years??? I mean it's YOUR history and YOUR ancestors. And all this history is the reason why usa have been made possible to exist. It's a fuckin damn scandal, no wonder why there's a lot of self hating leftists and angry minorities, it's all coming from that, they don't have the larger perspective

hahaha, nope and nope. We walk out of our history classes knowing about the underground railroad, or Arthur Ashe and Keith Herring (famous AIDS deaths) instead of Charlemagne or Kaiser Wilhelm
Brandon Garcia
they go over it pretty thoroughly in our schools actually. They always go "did they actually do it tho??? well never know. red scare paranoia!!". meanwhile every kid in the class with a functioning brain knows they did.

> In the 13th century 30,000 children went on what is known as the Children's Crusade. They were convinced God would allow them to take back the Holy Land without incident, but most died on the journey or were sold into slavery.
>Upon dying, some pharaohs were sealed into their tombs alongside their living servants, pets, and concubines
> In Medieval times the accused often faced a "trial by ordeal," where they were forced to stick their arm into a vat of boiling water. If their arm emerged unscathed, it was believed God protected them, thus proving their innocence.

Cooper Wood
oh, and one more thing Americans are taught from a very young age to HATE FUCKING RUSSIANS. Not sure why, but they are considered a natural enemy. Might have been that whole cold war spat, but we are raised to hate them
unless you go to catholic school where we were told to "pray for Russia"
Isaac Baker
a reason for that was the "Murus Gallicus" (the Gallic Wall" against which roman Artillery was virtually useless.

>Jim Jones was a big mover in west coast liberal politics. His "church" was used as muscle for the party in San Francisco and Jones held a minor city office for a while. His cults behavior shows the dangers of collectivism and one of it's bad ends.
>The United States and Allied forces were preparing to deploy mustard gas in Europe during the second world war. A cargo vessel made port in Italy carrying large volumes of gas but was bombed by Stukas raiding the port, this caused a massive gas release and massive civilian death toll. The records of this event are sealed until 2018. This information comes to me from a member of the merchant marine that had shore leave cut when his captian found out what the ship was carrying and deemed the risk of bombing too great.
Damn it's a fucking shame, this is the most evil thing they can do, they really know how to make millions of lost brainwashed souls, this is their most destructive weapon

It's sad though. How do we vindicate McCarthy? Like, seriously, how do we do it? McCarthyism gets a bad rap, despite being absolutely right about everything.

Trostky lived in New York and was shipped back to the Soviet Union to lead the revolution. The British intercepted him and imprisoned him (since the Russian tsar was their ally) but still let him through in the end.
At the age of 18, Frederick the Great had to watch his best friend be decapitated on the orders of his father.
Peter III of Russia (who saved Frederick the great in the seven years war) was cucked, deposed and assassinated by his wife Catherina the Great.

In Poland we have about 9 years of mandatory history school. We have 1000 years of Poland to cover, we have ancient history, we have I war II war medieval times, Napoleon times, Charlamagene times, I'm too bored to post others but the only thing we don't get teached about I think is basically africa and asia.

This US history was taught with emphasis on colonial era, slavery, civil war, woman’s right, civil right, WW1 and WW2, the holocaust. Cold War got skimped over with cuban missile crisis and mccarthy. Mccarthism was always left open with assumption that it was just a “scare” and no Communist infiltration happened.
