3 Tales from History

Pauline Skarbek

Her life and end is described as thus as Soe agent for the united kingdom she delivered great service . "After the physical hardship and mental strain she had suffered for six years in our service, she needed, probably more than any other agent we had employed, security for life. […] Yet a few weeks after the armistice she was dismissed with a month's salary and left in Cairo to fend for herself ... [Al]though she was too proud to ask for any other assistance, she did apply for […] a British passport; for ever since the Anglo-American betrayal of her country at Yalta she had been virtually stateless. But the naturalization papers […] were delayed in the normal bureaucratic manner. Meanwhile, abandoning all hope of security, she deliberately embarked on a life of uncertain travel, as though anxious to reproduce in peace time the hazards she had known during the war; until, finally, in June 1952, in the lobby of a cheap London hotel, the menial existence to which she had been reduced by penury was ended by an assassin's knife"

This leaves out that in Brittany she was forced to do menial jobs to survive. Her efforts forgotten her heroics thrown in the dustbin she was reduced to a mere laborer her work no longer required.

The Anglo Boer War

Like in the usa when the british troops could no longer keep their opponents at bay they resorted to capturing their woman and children , burning down their farms and all crops and eventually and through sheer negligence and their normal attitude of not caring led to 60000 woman ,children and Africans die'ing in Concentration Camps due to starvation and disease all easily preventable.

The Potato Famine

The Lead up

In the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish Catholics had been prohibited by the Penal Laws from purchasing or leasing land, from voting, from holding political office, from living in or within 5 miles (8 km) of a corporate town, from obtaining education, from entering a profession, and from doing many other things necessary for a person to succeed and prosper in society.

n 1845, 24% of all Irish tenant farms were of 0.4–2 hectares (1–5 acres) in size, while 40% were of 2–6 hectares (5–15 acres). Holdings were so small that no crop other than potatoes would suffice to feed a family. Shortly before the famine the British government reported that poverty was so widespread that one-third of all Irish small holdings could not support their families after paying their rent, except by earnings of seasonal migrant labour in England and Scotland.

Potato Blight

When this disease struck 20% of the Irish population died (1 million).

How easily preventable it all was

Despite the blight in all other crops it was a record season and and overloaden ships carried irish crops to brittian . No help came from their british overlords and they died off in masses.






Therefore the dude despite having overloaden ships of crops will not send a single cob of corn to the british.
