Appeasement does not stop dictators. It emboldens them, giving them time and space to go further. 87 years ago today, Nazi Germany invaded Poland. By then, it was clear that concessions made in the hope of preserving peace had failed. Just over two weeks later, the Soviet Union #NeverAgain #HistoryMatters #StopDictators #PL #RU
Yep, people won, it made lives of tens of millions of people better, and I'm still mad about not having lived my childhood in a normal country. Museums that cover this history are useful to counter the ignorance about how it all looked and worked #HistoryMatters #CulturalAwareness #ChildhoodMemories #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountrynames.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
🇵🇱🇺🇦 TUSK — BRING THE WESTERPLATTE SPIRIT TO UKRAINE. 1 September 1939 is not only a date of remembrance. It is a warning. Poland learned what happens when dictators are underestimated, aggression is tolerated and allies react too slowly.

1975 was not an unavoidable tragedy. It was a political decision. South Vietnam was fighting for survival against a communist North armed and supplied by the Soviet Union and China. And Washington walked away. The Democratic-controlled Congress cut South Vietnam’s military https://t.co/ZvZyFVVjUU #VietnamWar #PoliticalDecision #HistoryMatters #VN #RU #CN #US
The recent remarks by the Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, are entirely unacceptable. This is not the first time we need to take a stand to reaffirm in Romania and in the international community that these statements go against the painful lessons history #Israel #HumanRights #HistoryMatters #IL #RO
Stories like these remind me why my step-grandfather would end all his letters from those days, regardless of what the topic of the correspondence was, with the words, "Death to the Nazi-Fascists." #NeverForget #NaziFascism #HistoryMatters #DE
President @RobertaMetsola, thank you for commemorating the Warsaw Uprising. It is worth recalling, however, that it was an armed uprising against the German occupation and German terror. Honouring the victims also requires acknowledging the perpetrator. Eighty-two years later, #WarsawUprising #HistoryMatters #NeverForget #PL #DE
Building a national identity has been done through the writing of history. Yet American historians have neglected that task in recent decades. In their place, charlatans, stooges, and tyrants have managed to spread myths, prophecies, prejudices and hatreds https://t.co/RcLyWo8afo #NationalIdentity #HistoryMatters #MythBusting #US
👉Never confuse victim with perpetrator. Your sources are so wrong @politico: 1.

Ireland: occupied for centuries by imperial invaders who brutally suppressed their language & identity; endured torture, murder, sexual violence, hunger. They bravely resisted & live free today. More than anyone in Western Europe, Ireland should understand & stand with Ukraine. #Ireland #StandWithUkraine #HistoryMatters #IE #UA

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE 🇺🇸 @POTUS @realDonaldTrump From the Spanish King to the German Emperor. From Hitler to the Soviet Union. From Milosevic to Saddam, Gaddafi, Khamenei and Putin.

In "Weimar - On the Edge of Catastrophe," Katja Hoyer explores the tumultuous period of the Weimar Republic, highlighting how the economic recovery, political divisions, and the rise of Hitler resonated with university students, while an aging President Hindenburg faced the urgent need for a successor amidst the looming impacts of the Wall Street Crash. #WeimarRepublic #HistoryMatters #PoliticalDiscourse #DE #GB #US
