History has always been showing us a tape of his memory mined by important political events, and mostly global crises, and this is what has been left for us from a legacy recorded by Al-Alsun. I retreated to the past in the archive of the ancient New York Times, to use the lens of the magnifier on the unimportant daily details of those days, which were considered very difficult periods for humanity, and this news was translated into Arabic to show you as it is:
July 1, 1916: World War I ... The start of the Somme battle between German and Allied forces.
Also happened on that day: the discovery of a poem by the Greek poet Savo!
Some verses from the poem:
"Stand beside me in a dream, great Hera
The beautiful imagination that appeared in response to their prayers
He appeared to the famous kings of the Otreus dynasty
When they finished removing Troy. ”
October 25, 1918: The Spanish flu kills only 195,000 Americans in October.
Also happened on that day:
"Use Collins toothpaste and Collins rinse to eliminate the Spanish flu!"
December 8, 1941: World War II ... the Japanese forces attack the Pearl Harbor port!
Also happened on that day:
A suspected thief in court!
“A man suspected of stealing a fur coat has been arrested by a nurse working in a government hospital.
The suspect is Henry Williams, a 23-year-old man. The case has exposed other complaints from the nurses working in the same hospital who have recently been harassed! ”
How did my son become famous in one night?
“The mother was worried about her son’s social life, going crazy. Her son was failing to go to the training probes, and his colleagues ignored his presence. Until the mother finally registered her son at Arthur Morey Dance Studios. Now, her son found trust and wide popularity on our way. Are you afraid for your little ones? Register them in our dance classes, and see how quickly they become famous too! ”
We now come to our first question in the title of the article: What does the New York Times Archive tell us about crises?
I leave you the answer.
* I will display documentary pictures of the news that I mentioned here in my Twitter account mentioned above.
