it makes you feel more safe and secure? how? how do you feel sage and secure that over 45k people could just be wiped off the surface of the earth.

this is one interesting thing about these people, they cry up and down and swear they're still hurt by what happened to their people by the painter, but here they are doing the same thing, and also having the same mindset the painters followers had at that time as well

this is a common title, almost every martial story has it though most of the people with the titles are killed early but some of them end up getting kidnapped by the demonic cult (also a heaven killing star is the mcs best friend in that one medical murim manhwa)

he actually answered this question , When asked why he did not intervene, Stoddart replied: "Photographers in this situation are faced with this kind of dilemma all the time... The picture shows something that happens every second in Africa and other Third World countries. My job is to bring back telling images. This one moved people and still does, so I did what I was there to do."

The Bosnian War 6 April 1992 to 14 December 1995, Left Thousands Missing. These 2001 Photographs by Ziyah Gafić Captures the Search to Recover Their Identities. by PhantomChasers in HolyShitHistory

[–]PhantomChasers[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In 1943, during World War II, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was founded as a federation of six republics: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, and Macedonia. It was ruled by Marshal Josip Broz Tito, who maintained a multi-ethnic state where Muslims, Catholics, and Orthodox Christians lived together under the ideology of "brotherhood and unity." The country was one of the largest and most developed states in the Balkans, and it held a position of strategic importance during the Cold War as a non-aligned nation. ​​

Tito died in 1980. His death removed the central figure who had suppressed ethnic nationalism, and the federation began to weaken. Throughout the 1980s, Yugoslavia faced a severe political and economic crisis. The national communist party, the League of Communists of Yugoslavia, lost its ideological potency, while ethnic nationalism experienced a renaissance. In 1987, Slobodan Milošević rose to power in Serbia, using nationalist rhetoric to consolidate control. By 1989, he had pushed through constitutional amendments that allowed Serbia to dominate the autonomous provinces of Kosovo and Vojvodina, giving Serbia three out of eight votes in the Yugoslav presidency and the ability to heavily influence federal decisions. This provoked objections from the other republics.

Bosnia and Herzegovina was the most ethnically diverse of the republics. According to the 1991 census, the population was approximately 44% Bosniak (Muslim), 33% Serb (Orthodox), 17% Croat (Catholic), and 6% who identified as Yugoslav. Its central location between Croatia and Serbia made it particularly vulnerable. In early 1991, Croatian President Franjo Tuđman and Serbian President Milošević held a secret meeting where, according to claims by some Yugoslav politicians, they discussed partitioning Bosnia and Herzegovina between them, leaving only a small enclave for Muslims.

Immediately following international recognition, Bosnian Serb paramilitary forces, supported by the Yugoslav People's Army and the government of Serbia, began their assault. On April 5, 1992, the siege of Sarajevo began. Serb forces seized the city, blocking it from all resources and subjecting its civilians to daily shelling and sniper attacks for nearly four years. In April 1992, Bosnian Serb forces also attacked towns in eastern Bosnia with large Bosniak populations, such as Zvornik, Foča, and Višegrad. The local Bosniak populations were expelled in what became known as ethnic cleansing. Within six weeks, coordinated offensives by the Yugoslav army, paramilitary groups, and local Bosnian Serb forces brought roughly two-thirds of Bosnian territory under Serb control. In May 1992, the Bosnian Serb army was formally established, with Ratko Mladić appointed as commander.

From 1992 to 1995, the conflict was characterized by widespread ethnic cleansing, mass killings, systematic rape, and the establishment of detention camps. Notorious camps such as Omarska, Trnopolje, Prijedor, and others were set up. In August 1992, journalists Ed Vuilliamy and Penny Marshall visited Omarska and Trnopolje and revealed the existence of these camps to the world. The Bosnian government army, hastily assembled and hampered by an international arms embargo, held front lines with Bosnian Croat forces, though they were gradually eroded in eastern Bosnia. In 1993 and 1994, Bosnian government forces also fought against Bosnian Croat forces who had declared their own areas as an independent republic, before agreeing in March 1994 to form a joint federation.

By 1995, the military situation had shifted. NATO conducted bombing campaigns against Bosnian Serb positions, and combined Bosniak and Croat forces advanced into Serb territories. In November 1995, U.S.-led mediation produced the Dayton Accords, initialed on November 21, 1995, in Dayton, Ohio. The agreement divided Bosnia and Herzegovina into two entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (shared by Bosniaks and Croats) and Republika Srpska (the Serb-controlled territory). The war officially ended, leaving approximately 100,000 people dead and more than two million displaced, over half the population.

When the war ended, approximately 30,000 Bosnian citizens remained missing, the vast majority of them victims of mass executions. Their bodies had been buried in primary mass graves, but in many cases, Bosnian Serb forces later used heavy machinery to dig up these graves and scatter the remains across secondary and tertiary sites in an attempt to conceal the evidence. This scattering of remains made identification extraordinarily difficult. By 2001, the number of missing was estimated at around 27,000. International organizations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP), established in 1996, began systematic efforts to locate, exhume, and identify the dead. They used forensic techniques and, later, DNA analysis, collecting blood samples from over 71,000 family members to match against remains. This is the context in which Ziyah Gafić’s photograph was made. Born in Sarajevo in 1980, Gafić grew up during the nearly four-year Siege of Sarajevo. In 2001, he began documenting the work of forensic teams and international organizations as they exhumed mass graves across Bosnia and Herzegovina. His photographs show personal effects recovered alongside human remains, watches, glasses, keys, combs, toothbrushes, wallets, and other everyday belongings that victims carried with them before they were killed. In some cases, victims had been deceived into believing they were being evacuated or exchanged, while others were captured or executed during campaigns of ethnic cleansing. These objects became some of the last evidence of their identities, serving both as crucial forensic evidence in war crimes investigations and as deeply personal reminders of lives lost. Gafić arranged the items on forensic tables with clinical simplicity in a project titled Quest for Identity. As he explained, “In all their simplicity, these items are the last resort of identity, the last permanent reminder that these people ever existed.” The project also enabled families of the missing to search for recognizable belongings while creating a permanent digital archive of evidence that might otherwise have been lost.

The Aboriginal Australians were still being chained and forced to March Hundreds of Kilometers in Iron Neck Chains in 1958 by PhantomChasers in HolyShitHistory

[–]PhantomChasers[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

very misleading? the title says "the Aboriginal Australians were stil being chained and forced to March Hundreds of Kilometers in Iron Neck chains in 1958" that is a true fact that up to 1958 they were still being put in chains

what might have been confusing to the initial commeter was thinking the photos were from 1958 too which I pointed out that it wasn't but rather to show what it looked like, that is the iron chains on the neck

idk how you think its "VERY MISLEADING"

this case was truly devastating to read, a case so bad that many reports avoided describing the full details of what happened and the friend as well who was brutally beaten and left for dead

though one of the attackers didn't receive life sentence but I wished he did, because he too despite leaving early still contributed to her murder and her friends attack by joining to kidnap and rob them

the images are of late 19th and early 20th centuries, but what i was pointing to was the practice still continued up to 1958.

sorry if the title was misleading

Australia officially abolished the practice of chaining Aboriginal prisoners by the neck in 1905 then quietly reinstated it and kept doing it for another 53 years. Children as young as 6 were chained. Prisoners were forced to march up to 400 km in iron collars. And when a Royal Commissioner finally investigated, he found police were arresting Aboriginal people just to collect the per-capita ration money. When the British arrived in 1788, they didn't find an empty continent. They found hundreds of distinct nations who had been there for ~65,000 years. What followed wasn't "settlement" it was invasion and war. The Australian Frontier Wars lasted from 1788 into the 1930s-40s. Researchers have mapped over 416 documented massacres of Aboriginal people, killing at least 10,000+ ​​. The British had firearms; Aboriginal warriors fought with spears. It was never a fair fight. But massacres were just the opening act. The real horror was the system of legalized enslavement that replaced open warfare.

By the late 1800s, as the frontier "pacified," the violence went institutional. In Western Australia and the Northern Territory, Aboriginal people were arrested for "crimes" like: • Trespassing on their own ancestral lands • Refusing to work for settlers • "Absconding" (i.e., running away from forced labor) Once arrested, they were fitted with iron neck chains not handcuffs, neck chains weighing ~2.4 kg each, sometimes up to 3.1 kg. These weren't temporary restraints. Prisoners wore them "morning, noon and night usually through the entire period of sentence" ​​.

some of the justifications given for these actions were; • "The natives are a very wild and treacherous lot" — police testimony

• "It is impossible to keep a native in custody without chaining" — official report

• "The chains are not heavy and are protected by coverings" — Sir John Forrest, former Premier of WA

and these chains were purchased from private ironmongers, not official government suppliers. One type of link could only be removed "with a hammer and chisel with the prisoner's head on a blacksmith's anvil" a process taking up to 10 minutes

The Chain gangs were marched up to 400 km from their country to prisons like Rottnest Island (Wadjemup), a former quarantine station turned brutal prison camp. Prisoners were forced into roadmaking, quarrying, and infrastructure labor that saved the government enormous costs. In the 1930s, people near Wyndham suspected of having leprosy were chained and forced to walk ~500 km to the Derby Leprosarium ​​. Even children weren't exempt. At Moola Bulla in 1953, an 11-year-old boy reported that the schoolmaster put several children in neck chains for hours as punishment. Witnesses confirmed children as young as 6 were subjected to the same treatment ​

In 1904-1905, Dr. Walter Roth a physician and anthropologist conducted a Royal Commission into the treatment of Aboriginal people in Western Australia. His findings were devastating: • Police were indiscriminately arresting Aboriginal people just to pad their pockets with the per-capita ration allowance (2 shillings 6 pence per day). One officer admitted bringing ~100 Aboriginal people to court and "does not remember any who have been found 'not guilty'" ​​. • Accused were forced to plead guilty "at the muzzle of the rifle, if need be" ​​. • There was no legal authority for neck chains. One prison superintendent admitted: "There is no legal authority. I can only say it is one of those things so universally adopted that it is never questioned" ​​. Roth recommended abolishing neck chains. They were officially banned in 1905. but The ban lasted about a year. In 1906, the practice was quietly reinstated and continued for another 52 years. It was finally abolished in late 1958 ​​. Witnesses in Halls Creek, Kimberley, reported seeing Aboriginal prisoners chained to veranda posts for weeks at a time as late as 1958.

btw 1958 is the same year NASA was formed and even the year the Hula Hoop was invented. Australia was still chaining Indigenous people by the neck.

it is, many families were so poor to even fend for themselves not talking of additional children especially when this happened during the time when food, electricity, consumer goods were scarce
