Dwight Eisenhower on Nuclear War: The Presidents News Conference March 23, 1955 20th Century Time Machine 2018-04-25 | A public domain videoPresident Eisenhower talks about nuclear war on his sixty-fourth news conference on March 23, 1955. This is a transcript of the clip ....we were talking about atomic weapons in connection with police action as distinct from a major war, and within that context you said you did not think that normally we would use the atomic weapons, because, you thought, you could not conceive of atomic weapons as a police weapon, and there was some further remark there that it was so destructive.THE PRESIDENT. Well, Mr. Harsch, the difference here, I think, is perfectly simple. A police action is not war; a police action is restoring order.Now, you don't send in bombs to restore order when a riot occurs. You get police people to restore order. Occasionally there may be a life lost if someone is too tough about it.But when you get into actual war, you have resorted to force for reaching a decision in a particular area; that is what I call War.And whether the war is big or not, if you have the kind of a weapon that can be limited to military use, then I know of no reason why a large explosion shouldn't be used as freely as a small explosion. That is all I was saying last week.But that is different from trying to restore order. Incidentally, if you want to follow some of these things off into the realm of great philosophical conjecture, suppose you won a war by the indiscriminate use of atomic weapons; what would you have left? Now, what would you do for your police action, for your occupation and restoration of order, and all of the things needed to be done in a great area of the earth?I repeat, the concept of atomic war is too horrible for man to endure and to practice, and he must find some way out of it. That is all I think about this thing.Q. Mr. Harsch: Sir, I am a little stupid about this thing.THE PRESIDENT. Well, I am glad you didn't say I was! [Laughter]Q. Mr. Harsch: It would seem to me there is big war at one end, just a local police action in which one person might be killed at the other; and, in between, what the military people would say was limited war. The Korean War, in a sense, was a limitedwar.THE PRESIDENT. It became one, anyway. Q. Mr. Harsch: It became one.If we got into an issue with the Chinese, say, over Matsu and Quemoy, that we wanted to keep limited, do you conceive of using this specific kind of atomic weapon in that situation or not?THE PRESIDENT. Well, Mr. Harsch, I must confess I cannot answer that question in advance.The only thing I know about war are two things: the most changeable factor in war is human nature in its day-by-day manifestation; but the only unchanging factor in war is human nature.And the next thing is that every war is going to astonish you in the way it occurred, and in the way it is carried out.So that for a man to predict, particularly if he has the responsibility for making the decision, to predict what he is going to use, how he is going to do it, would I think exhibit his ignorance of war; that is what I believe.So I think you just have to wait, and that is the kind of prayerful decision that may someday face a President.We are trying to establish conditions where he doesn't.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

The Great Train Robbery (Silent Film -1903) 20th Century Time Machine 2018-04-18 | A public domain videoConsidered the first narrative film, "The Great Train Robbery" was directed and photographed by Edwin S. Porter, a former cameraman for the Thomas Edison Company. Primitive by modern standards, the 10-minute action picture depicts 14 distinct scenes filmed at various locales in New Jersey intended to represent the American West. 'Broncho Billy' Anderson, the screen's first Western star, played several roles in the film, including a bandit and a train passenger. Audiences were thrilled and terrified to watch a gunman in medium close-up fire directly at the screen in the film's final scene ... although Porter suggested to exhibitors it could just as easily be shown at the beginning of the film instead.

U.S. Invades Marshall Islands: Battle of Kwajalein (1944 Newsreel) 20th Century Time Machine 2018-04-13 | A public domain videoThe Battle of Kwajalein was fought as part of the Pacific campaign of World War II. It took place from 31 January-3 February 1944, on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Employing the hard-learned lessons of the battle of Tarawa, the United States launched a successful twin assault on the main islands of Kwajalein in the south and Roi-Namur in the north. The Japanese defenders put up stiff resistance, although outnumbered and under-prepared. The determined defense of Roi-Namur left only 51 survivors of an original garrison of 3,500.For the US, the battle represented both the next step in its island-hopping march to Japan and a significant moral victory because it was the first time the Americans had penetrated the "outer ring" of the Japanese Pacific sphere. For the Japanese, the battle represented the failure of the beach-line defense. Japanese defenses became prepared in depth, and the battles of Peleliu, Guam, and the Marianas proved far more costly to the US.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

1960 Kennedy-Nixon Debate: The First Televised Presidential Debate 20th Century Time Machine 2018-04-12 | A public domain videoThe four Kennedy-Nixon debates were the first presidential debates ever, also the first held on television, and thus attracted enormous publicity. Nixon insisted on campaigning until just a few hours before the first debate started. He had not completely recovered from his hospital stay and thus looked pale, sickly, underweight, and tired. His eyes moved across the room during the debate, and at various moments sweat was visible on his face. He also refused makeup for the first debate, and as a result, his beard stubble showed prominently on the era's black-and-white TV screens. Furthermore, the debate set appeared darker once the paint dried up, causing Nixon's suit color to blend in with the background which reduced his stature. Nixon's poor appearance on television in the first debate is reflected by the fact that his mother called him immediately following the debate to ask if he was sick. Kennedy, by contrast, rested and prepared extensively beforehand, appearing tanned, confident, and relaxed during the debate. An estimated 70 million viewers watched the first debate.It is often claimed that people who watched the debate on television overwhelmingly believed Kennedy had won, while radio listeners (a smaller audience) thought Nixon had ended up defeating him. However, that has been disputed. Indeed, one study has speculated that the viewer/listener disagreement could be due to sample bias in that those without TV could be a skewed subset of the population.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

Operation Hailstone: The Airstrike on Truk Island (1944) - Newsreel 20th Century Time Machine 2018-04-09 | A public domain videoIncredible footage of an air battle as America takes the Truk Island from the Japanese.Operation Hailstone, 17–18 February 1944, was a massive United States Navy air and surface attack on Truk Lagoon conducted as part of the Allies' offensive drive through the Pacific Ocean theater during World War II.Prior to Hailstone, the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) used Truk as an anchorage for its Combined Fleet. The coral atoll surrounding Truk's islands created a safe harbor whose few points of ingress the Japanese fortified with anti-aircraft guns and other equipment. Allied estimates of Truk's defenses and its role as an IJN stronghold led newspapers and military men to call it the "Gibraltar of the Pacific," or to compare it to Pearl Harbor. Its location in the Caroline Islands also made Truk an ideal shipping hub for material moving from Japan's home islands down through the South Pacific Mandate and into the Southern Resources Area.By early 1944 Truk was increasingly unsustainable as a forward base of operations for the IJN. The United States Army under General Douglas MacArthur had moved up through the South Pacific, isolating Japanese strong points as part of Operation Cartwheel; and the U.S. Navy, under the command of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, had seized areas in the nearby Marshall Islands. As a result, the IJN relocated Combined Fleet's forward base to Palau and had begun clearing warships out of Truk in advance of Hailstone.Nevertheless, the attack on Truk caught a large number of auxiliary and cargo ships in the harbor, as well as some warships. Between submarine, surface and air attacks over Hailstone's two days, around 250 Japanese planes were destroyed. Approximately forty ships—two light cruisers, four destroyers, nine auxiliaries, and over two dozen cargo vessels—were sunk. Considerable damage was inflicted on the lagoon's various island bases, including communications centers, supply dumps, and a submarine base. Truk remained effectively isolated for the remainder of the war, cut off and surrounded by the Allies' island hopping campaign.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

The SS Normandie Catches Fiire and Capsizes at New York Harbor (1942) 20th Century Time Machine 2018-04-05 | A public domain videoThe SS Normandie was an ocean liner built in Saint-Nazaire, France, for the French Line Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT). She entered service in 1935 as the largest and fastest passenger ship afloat; she is still the most powerful steam turbo-electric-propelled passenger ship ever built.Her novel design and lavish interiors led many to consider her the greatest of ocean liners. Despite this, she was not a commercial success and relied partly on government subsidy to operate.During service as the flagship of the CGT, she made 139 westbound transatlantic crossings from her home port of Le Havre to New York. Normandie held the Blue Riband for the fastest transatlantic crossing at several points during her service career, during which the RMS Queen Mary was her main rival.During World War II, Normandie was seized by U.S. authorities at New York and renamed USS Lafayette. In 1942, the liner caught fire while being converted to a troopship, capsized onto her port side and came to rest on the mud of the Hudson River at Pier 88, the site of the current New York Passenger Ship Terminal. Although salvaged at great expense, restoration was deemed too costly and she was scrapped in October 1946.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

Gerald Ford Assassination Attempt in Sacramento (1975) 20th Century Time Machine 2018-03-24 | A public domain videoOn September 5, 1975, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, a cult member of Charles Manson's Manson Family, attempted to assassinate United States President Gerald Ford in Sacramento, California. She wanted to make a statement to people who refused to halt environmental pollution and its effects on Air, Trees, Water, and Animals (ATWA). Although Fromme stood a little more than an arm's length from Ford that Friday morning and pointed a M1911 pistol at him in the public grounds of the California State Capitol building, her gun failed to fire and no one was injured. After the assassination attempt, Ford continued to walk to the California statehouse, where he met with California governor Jerry Brown. For her crime, Fromme spent 34 years in prison and was released on August 14, 2009 – two years and seven months after Ford's death. The Gerald R.

13 Days That Almost Ended the World: The Cuban Missile Crisis - October 1962 (US Navy Documentary) 20th Century Time Machine 2018-03-18 | A public domain videoThe Cuban Missile Crisis, also known as the October Crisis, the Caribbean Crisis, or the Missile Scare, was a 13-day (October 16–28, 1962) confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union concerning American ballistic missile deployment in Italy and Turkey with consequent Soviet ballistic missile deployment in Cuba. The confrontation is often considered the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war.In response to the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion of 1961 and the presence of American Jupiter ballistic missiles in Italy and Turkey, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev decided to agree to Cuba's request to place nuclear missiles on the island to deter a future invasion. An agreement was reached during a secret meeting between Khrushchev and Fidel Castro in July 1962 and construction of a number of missile launch facilities started later that summer.The 1962 United States elections were underway, and the White House had for months denied charges that it was ignoring dangerous Soviet missiles 90 miles (140 km) from Florida. The missile preparations were confirmed when an Air Force U-2 spy plane produced clear photographic evidence of medium-range (SS-4) and intermediate-range (R-14) ballistic missile facilities. The U.S. established a military blockade to prevent further missiles from reaching Cuba; Oval Office tapes during the crisis revealed that Kennedy had also put the blockade in place as an attempt to provoke Soviet-backed forces in Berlin as well. It announced that they would not permit offensive weapons to be delivered to Cuba and demanded that the weapons already in Cuba be dismantled and returned to the Soviet Union.After a long period of tense negotiations, an agreement was reached between U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Khrushchev. Publicly, the Soviets would dismantle their offensive weapons in Cuba and return them to the Soviet Union, subject to United Nations verification, in exchange for a U.S. public declaration and agreement to avoid invading Cuba again. Secretly, the United States also agreed that it would dismantle all U.S.-built Jupiter MRBMs, which had been deployed in Turkey against the Soviet Union; there has been a debate on whether or not Italy was included in the agreement as well.When all offensive missiles and Ilyushin Il-28 light bombers had been withdrawn from Cuba, the blockade was formally ended on November 21, 1962. The negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union pointed out the necessity of a quick, clear, and a direct communication line between Washington and Moscow. As a result, the Moscow–Washington hotline was established. A series of agreements reduced US-Soviet tensions for several years.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

The Berlin Blockade and Air Lift: A Cold War International Crisis 20th Century Time Machine 2018-03-14 | A public domain videoThe Berlin Blockade (24 June 1948 – 12 May 1949) was one of the first major international crises of the Cold War. During the multinational occupation of post–World War II Germany, the Soviet Union blocked the Western Allies' railway, road, and canal access to the sectors of Berlin under Western control. The Soviets offered to drop the blockade if the Western Allies withdrew the newly introduced Deutsche mark from West Berlin.In response, the Western Allies organized the Berlin airlift (26 June 1948 – 30 September 1949) to carry supplies to the people of West Berlin, a difficult feat given the size of the city's population. Aircrews from the United States Air Force, the British Royal Air Force, the French Air Force, the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the South African Air Force:338 flew over 200,000 flights in one year, providing to the West Berliners up to 8,893 tons of necessities each day, such as fuel and food. The Soviets did not disrupt the airlift for fear this might lead to open conflict.By the spring of 1949, the airlift was clearly succeeding, and by April it was delivering more cargo than had previously been transported into the city by rail. On 12 May 1949, the USSR lifted the blockade of West Berlin. The Berlin Blockade served to highlight the competing ideological and economic visions for postwar Europe.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

Tuskegee Airman: The Heroic All Black WWII Military Pilots 20th Century Time Machine 2018-03-12 | A public domain videoThe Tuskegee Airmen is the popular name of a group of African-American military pilots (fighter and bomber) who fought in World War II. They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the United States Army Air Forces. The name also applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks and other support personnel.All black military pilots who trained in the United States trained at Moton Field, the Tuskegee Army Air Field, and were educated at Tuskegee University, located near Tuskegee, Alabama. The group included five Haitians from the Haitian Air Force, and one pilot from Trinidad.Although the 477th Bombardment Group trained with North American B-25 Mitchell bombers, they never served in combat. The 99th Pursuit Squadron (later, 99th Fighter Squadron) was the first black flying squadron, and the first to deploy overseas (to North Africa in April 1943, and later to Sicily and Italy). The 332nd Fighter Group, which originally included the 100th, 301st, and 302nd Fighter Squadrons, was the first black flying group. It deployed to Italy in early 1944. In June 1944, the 332nd Fighter Group began flying heavy bomber escort missions, and in July 1944, with the addition of the 99th Fighter Squadron, it had four fighter squadrons.The 99th Fighter Squadron was initially equipped with Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighter-bomber aircraft. The 332nd Fighter Group and its 100th, 301st and 302nd Fighter Squadrons were equipped for initial combat missions with Bell P-39 Airacobras (March 1944), later with Republic P-47 Thunderbolts (June–July 1944), and finally with the aircraft with which they became most commonly associated, the North American P-51 Mustang (July 1944). When the pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group painted the tails of their P-47s red, the nickname "Red Tails" was coined. The red markings that distinguished the Tuskegee Airmen included red bands on the noses of P-51s as well as a red rudder; the P-51B and D Mustangs flew with similar color schemes, with red propeller spinners, yellow wing bands and all-red tail surfaces.The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African-American military aviators in the United States Armed Forces. During World War II, black Americans in many U.S. states were still subject to the Jim Crow laws and the American military was racially segregated, as was much of the federal government. The Tuskegee Airmen were subjected to discrimination, both within and outside the army.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

Beckett Directs Beckett : Krapps Last Tape 20th Century Time Machine 2018-03-11 | A public domain videoFeaturing original staging by Nobel Prize-winning playwright, Samuel Beckett, the video tells the story of Krapp, an impassioned, eccentric, recluse whose existence consists chiefly of recalling both pleasant and unpleasant memories.Krapp's Last Tape is a one-act play, in English, by Samuel Beckett. With a cast of one man, it was written for Northern Irish actor Patrick Magee and first titled "Magee monologue". (Patrick Magee is familiar to many moviegoers as the writer whom Alex cripples while invading his home and raping his wife in A Clockwork Orange.) It was inspired by Beckett's experience of listening to Magee reading extracts from Molloy and From an Abandoned Work on the BBC Third Programme in December 1957.The play was first performed as a curtain raiser to Endgame (from 28 October to 29 November 1958) at the Royal Court Theatre, London, directed by Donald McWhinnie and starring Patrick Magee. It ran for 38 performances.Krapp's Last Tape premiered in North America at the Provincetown Playhouse, with the lead role played by Canadian actor Donald Davis, who won an Obie Award in 1960 for his performance in the play.This production of Krapp's Last Tape features Rick Cluchey, a writer, actor, and co-founder of the San Quentin Drama Workshop.Cluchey was directed by Samuel Beckett, the author of the play.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

The KGB and the Cuban Connection – Espionage and Spy Network (1981) 20th Century Time Machine 2018-03-08 | A public domain videoThe KGB was an effective, but often brutal military intelligence gathering agency, which dissolved in the early 1990s not long after the fall of the Berlin Wall. “KGB Connections,” documents the KGB, exploring their operations in Cuba and the United States. The DGI, or the Cuban intelligence agency, is also dissected, proving the Cubans were run, not only by Fidel Castro but the communist Russians, who had financed espionage in Cuba since the 1960s. The documentary is a startling, somewhat slanted, look at government espionage and operations which focuses on the history, organization, and operations of the KGB.The KGB and the DGI (Cuban Intelligence Agency) were more active in training and supporting American New Left organizations like the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

USS Yorktown (CV-10): The Fighting Lady - 1944 Documentary Film 20th Century Time Machine 2018-02-22 | A public domain videoThe Fighting Lady is a 1944 documentary film produced by the U.S. Navy and narrated by Lt. Robert Taylor USNR.The plot of the film revolves around the life of seamen on board an anonymous aircraft carrier. Because of wartime restrictions, the name of the aircraft carrier was disguised as "the Fighting Lady", although she was later identified as USS Yorktown (CV-10). ("Fighting Lady" was the known moniker of the Yorktown, just as "Lady Lex" for Lexington, "The Big E" for Enterprise, etc...) A few shots of aircraft landing were filmed aboard the Yorktown's sister ship USS Ticonderoga.Frequently mentioned is the adage that war is 99% waiting. The first half or so of the film is taken up with examining the mundane details of life on board the aircraft carrier as she sails through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific Ocean, finally seeing action at Marcus Island (attacked in 1943). The film provides aerial views of a series of airstrikes at Japanese bases in the Pacific theatre.Following an attack on Kwajalein in early 1944, intelligence reports that an armada of Japanese ships is massing near Truk, a major Japanese logistical base in the Carolines. The Fighting Lady and some of her task force are sent on a "hit and run" mission to neutralize it and return to Marcus, but not to attempt a landing.Once the ship returns from the massive, two-day Truk raid, it is then sent to the waters off the Marianas and participates in the famous "Marianas Turkey Shoot".At the very end, some of the servicemen who appeared in the film are reintroduced to us, and the narrator informs us that they have died in battle.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

The Counterculture of the 1960s and the Youth Around the World 20th Century Time Machine 2018-02-17 | A public domain videoThe counterculture of the 1960s refers to an anti-establishment cultural phenomenon that developed first in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US) and then spread throughout much of the Western world between the early 1960s and the mid-1970s, with London, New York City, and San Francisco being hotbeds of early countercultural activity. The aggregate movement gained momentum as the Civil Rights Movement continued to grow, and would later become revolutionary with the expansion of the U.S. government's extensive military intervention in Vietnam. As the 1960s progressed, widespread social tensions also developed concerning other issues and tended to flow along generational lines regarding human sexuality, women's rights, traditional modes of authority, experimentation with psychoactive drugs, and differing interpretations of the American Dream. Many key movements related to these issues were born or advanced within the counterculture of the 1960s.As the era unfolded, new cultural forms and a dynamic subculture which celebrated experimentation, modern incarnations of Bohemianism, and the rise of the hippie and other alternative lifestyles, emerged. This embracing of creativity is particularly notable in the works of British Invasion bands such as The Beatles, and filmmakers whose works became far less restricted by censorship. In addition to the trendsetting Beatles, many other creative artists, authors, and thinkers, within and across many disciplines, helped define the counterculture movement.Several factors distinguished the counterculture of the 1960s from the anti-authoritarian movements of previous eras. The post-World War II "baby boom" generated an unprecedented number of potentially disaffected young people as prospective participants in a rethinking of the direction of American and other democratic societies. Post-war affluence allowed many of the counterculture generation to move beyond a focus on the provision of the material necessities of life that had preoccupied their Depression-era parents. The era was also notable in that a significant portion of the array of behaviors and "causes" within the larger movement were quickly assimilated within mainstream society, particularly in the US, even though counterculture participants numbered in the clear minority within their respective national populations.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

Iran King of Kings Mohammed Reza Pahlavis Reign During the 1960s 20th Century Time Machine 2018-02-16 | A public domain videoOn 26 October 1967, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, twenty-six years into his reign as Shah ("King"), he took the ancient title Shāhanshāh ("Emperor" or "King of Kings") in a lavish coronation ceremony held in Tehran. He said that he chose to wait until this moment to assume the title because in his own opinion he "did not deserve it" up until then; he is also recorded as saying that there was "no honour in being Emperor of a poor country" (which he viewed Iran as being until that time).But he also pushed the country to adopt Western-oriented secular modernization, allowing some degree of cultural freedom. Under the Shah's rule, thanks also to Iran's oil reserves, Iran's economy and educational opportunities expanded. Britain and the US counted Iran as their major ally in the Middle East, and the Shah forcefully industrialized large segments of the country. However, the Shah's increasingly authoritarian measures and his eventual dismissal of multiparty rule set the stage for the infamous revolution.Still, for a period of almost 40 years, the Shah led Iran through a series of sweeping changes.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

The Coup that Overturned the Ngo Đình Diem Regime in Vietnam (1963) 20th Century Time Machine 2018-02-15 | A public domain videoThis film is a cbs news special "Death of a Regime" that documents the events surrounding the coup that overturned the Ngo Đình Diem regime in Vietnam. Scenes examine the Catholic / Buddhist struggle, and the celebratory feeling amongst the people following the coup. Footage includes an interview with President John Kennedy and Madam Ngo Dinh Nhu's comments after the coup. In November 1963, President Ngô Đình Diệm of South Vietnam was deposed by a group of Army of the Republic of Vietnam officers who disagreed with his handling of both the Buddhist crisis and the Viet Cong threat to the regime.The Kennedy administration had been aware of the coup planning, but Cable 243 from the United States Department of State to US Ambassador to South Vietnam Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., stated that it was US policy not to try to stop it. Lucien Conein, the Central Intelligence Agency’s liaison between the US embassy and the coup planners, told them that the US would not intervene to stop it. Conein also provided funds to the coup leaders.The coup was led by General Dương Văn Minh and started on 1 November. It proceeded smoothly as many loyalist leaders were captured after being caught off-guard and casualties were light. Diệm was captured and executed the next day along with his brother and adviser Ngô Đình Nhu.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

The Battle of Russia (1943) - Nominated Film For Best Documentary 20th Century Time Machine 2018-02-14 | A public domain videoThe Battle of Russia (1943) is the fifth film of Frank Capra's Why We Fight documentary series, and the longest film of the series, consisting of two parts. The film was made in collaboration with Russian-born Anatole Litvak as primary director under Capra's supervision. Litvak gave the film its "shape and orientation," and the film had seven writers with voice narration by Walter Huston. The score was done by Russian-born Hollywood composer, Dimitri Tiomkin, and drew heavily on Tchaikovsky along with traditional Russian folk songs and ballads.Film historian Christopher Meir notes that the film's popularity "extended beyond the military audience for it was initially intended, and was the second in the series to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.The film begins with an overview of previous failed attempts to conquer Russia: by the Teutonic Knights in 1242 (footage from Sergei Eisenstein's film Alexander Nevsky is used here), by Charles XII of Sweden in 1704 (footage from Vladimir Petrov's film Peter the First), by Napoleon I in 1812, and by Germany in World War I.The vast natural resources of the Soviet Union are then described, showing why the land is such a hot prize for conquerors. To give a positive impression of the Soviet Union to the American audience, the country's ethnic diversity is covered in detail, and later on, elements of Russian culture familiar to Americans, including the musical compositions of Tchaikovsky and Leo Tolstoy's book War and Peace are also mentioned. Communism is never mentioned at any point in the film; instead, the Russian Orthodox Church is described as a force opposing Nazism. The start of the film includes a quote from U.S. Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who commended the Russian people's defense of their nation as one of the most courageous feats in military history.The film then covers the Nazi conquests in the Balkans, described as a preliminary to close off possible Allied counter-invasion routes, before the war against Russia was launched on June 22, 1941. The narration describes the German "keil und kessel" tactics for offensive warfare, and the Soviet "defense in depth" used to counter this. The scorched earth Soviet tactics, the room-to-room urban warfare in Soviet cities, and the guerilla warfare behind enemy lines are also used to underline the Soviet resolve for victory against the Germans. The Siege of Leningrad and the Battle of Stalingrad conclude the film.The episode, like the entire Why We Fight series, misportrayed or simply omitted many facts, which could have cast doubts on the "good guy" status of the Soviets, such as the Nazi-Soviet non-aggression pact, Soviet invasion of Poland; Soviet occupation of the Baltic States, Winter War, and others. Nor did the film mention the word "Communism." source:wikipedia.orgSubscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

The Training of Homing Pigeons During WWI (silent film) 20th Century Time Machine 2018-01-19 | A public domain videoHoming pigeons were used extensively during World War I. In 1914 during the First Battle of the Marne, the French army advanced 72 pigeon lofts with the troops.The US Army Signal Corps used 600 pigeons in France alone.One of their homing pigeons, a Blue Check hen named Cher Ami, was awarded the French "Croix de Guerre with Palm" for heroic service delivering 12 important messages during the Battle of Verdun. On her final mission in October 1918, she delivered a message despite having been shot through the breast or wing. The crucial message, found in the capsule hanging from a ligament of her shattered leg, saved 194 US soldiers of the 77th Infantry Division's "Lost Battalion".United States Navy aviators maintained 12 pigeon stations in France with a total inventory of 1,508 pigeons when the war ended. Pigeons were carried in airplanes to rapidly return messages to these stations, and 829 birds flew in 10,995 wartime aircraft patrols. Airmen of the 230 patrols with messages entrusted to pigeons threw the message-carrying pigeon either up or down, depending on the type of aircraft, to keep the pigeon out of the propeller and away from airflow toward the aircraft wings and struts. Eleven of the thrown pigeons went missing in action, but the remaining 219 messages were delivered successfully.Leg canister for a war pigeon, U.S. Army Signal Corps, World War I. 1 x 2.9 cm, 1.7 gmPigeons were considered an essential element of naval aviation communication when the first United States aircraft carrier USS Langley was commissioned on 20 March 1922; so the ship included a pigeon house on the stern. The pigeons were trained at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard while Langley was undergoing conversion. As long as the pigeons were released a few at a time for exercise, they returned to the ship; but when the whole flock was released while Langley was anchored off Tangier Island, the pigeons flew south and roosted in the cranes of the Norfolk shipyard. The pigeons never went to sea again.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.

Jack Johnson Defeats Jim Jeffries in the Fight of the Century: July 4, 1910 20th Century Time Machine 2018-01-17 | A public domain videoThe Johnson-Jeffries Fight is a 1910 American film report on the heavyweight championship boxing fight between Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries in Reno, Nevada.The footage depicts the heavyweight championship that took place in Reno, NV on July 4, 1910, when reigning champion Jack Johnson, a black American, knocked out former champion James J. Jeffries, a white American, in the fifteenth round of a very one-sided fight. The fight was already a media sensation weeks before it happened and was dubbed "The Fight of the Century". This sparked motivation to film the event as it was thought to be a guaranteed money-maker. The fight's promoter, George "Tex" Rickard, (who also refereed the bout) sold exclusive film rights. The film was recorded by nine cameramen and is two hours long. Novelist Jack London was also present in the crowd, reporting the event.Since Johnson was African-American and Jeffries was white the competition took on major racial overtones. The press dubbed Jeffries "The Great White Hope." Sportswriters and white America were generally astounded when Johnson beat Jeffries soundly. This caused race riots in many places across the USA and provided the film with more public attention in the United States than any other film to date and for the next five years, until the release of The Birth of a Nation (1915). On July 7, 1910, only three days after the fight various states and cities in the USA declared they would not allow the screening of the footage. The picture was banned virtually everywhere in the South, as well as in South Africa.Two weeks after the match former President Theodore Roosevelt, an avid boxer and fan, wrote an article for The Outlook in which he supported banning not just moving pictures of boxing matches, but a complete ban on all prize fights in America. He cited the "crookedness" and gambling that surrounded such contests and that moving pictures have "introduced a new method of money getting and of demoralization." The controversy surrounding the film directly motivated Congress to ban distribution of all prizefight films across state lines in 1912; the ban lasted for nearly three decades. It was finally lifted in 1940.Subscribe - never miss a video!youtube.com/channel/UC_S8ZlDCRkMMgc7ciw8X-hgThe 20th Century Time Machine takes you back in time to the most important historical events of the past century.
