    Whenever the claim of a “golden age” in the mid-20th century is presented, there are many easy counterexamples: civil rights conflicts, the threat of nuclear warfare, and the treatment of women as inferiors. But another, more unorthodox example is the sheer positivity surrounding cigarettes at the time. Tobacco was first brought to Europe by Christopher…

    Throughout history, humans have found ways to turn animals into unwilling participants in cruel spectacles. From cockfighting in royal palaces to fox-tossing on aristocratic estates, the past is littered with disturbing examples of Animal Cruelty disguised as entertainment. In an era before modern ethics, animal welfare laws, or even widespread compassion for other species, blood…

    The Beatles’ Eleanor Rigby, written by Paul McCartney, paints the picture of a lonely death: “Died in the church and was buried along with her name / Nobody came.” The idea of passing away with no mourners, no visitors, and no family reflects ultimate solitude. Even those who would later become historically significant sometimes faced…

    Over the many myriads of humankind, our species has devised countless treacherous and barbaric forms of punishment. Across civilisations, we seem to have conceived every possible way to brutalise a person in the most savage manner. Personally, I would wager there are few more horrific ways to die than having a desperate and panicking rodent…

    As far back as the earliest law sources, from Hammurabi’s Code to Draco the Lawgiver, many pieces of legislation or created rules have been extremely harsh and abhorrent. That said, few can compare to the sheer stupidity and outrageousness of the Fugitive Slave Act of the 1850s. A law so deeply unjustifiable and unfair to…

    The Prime Minister’s job is one of immense influence and relentless scrutiny. Since the role first emerged in 1721 under Sir Robert Walpole, the UK has seen 58 people step into Number 10, each leaving behind a unique legacy shaped by the times they governed. Some were nation-builders, some crisis managers, others political survivors —…

    We’ve previously covered the misconceptions from a number of world leaders of the 20th century. With that in mind, now it is time to turn to the 19th century — although instead of focusing on specific political figures, we’ll be looking more broadly at famous names from across the arts, literature, and culture. Along the…

    Labour Prime Ministers often fare well when history takes stock.

Ramsay MacDonald, the first Labour Prime Minister, is remembered for breaking political ground in bringing the…

    Oscar Wilde may have said it best: “The truth is rarely pure and never simple.” When it comes to history, the likelihood is that many of the most incredible stories about culturally significant 20th century leaders are, in fact, not quite true. Over time, if repeated enough, these misconceptions creep into common knowledge, becoming “facts”…

    Throughout history, many world leaders have fallen victim to assassinations — from Julius Caesar to Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Yet in the modern era, few nations have endured this tragedy as often as the United States of America. Here, we look at the “Mount Rushmore” of assassinated American presidents — four heads of state whose lives…
