Infamous French Commander Napoleon Bonaparte once said “History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.” The history of the human race, as it stands today, is a collection of stories riddled with conflict, war, heroics, deception, cruelty, and even romance, all the makings of incredible stories. Historians have, for eras, tracked these stories, compiling more and more evidence to determine fact from fiction, and more importantly, to document these stories in great detail.
Perhaps the greatest tool to any fan of humankind's history is the camera, which captures it in their truest essence moments and people that could have been forgotten with time. Here are some photos that anyone can enjoy, history buff or not, that make these moments from the past come alive!
