Joseph Stalin: The Dictator Who Killed Millions

Throughout the course of history, there have been many viciously cruel dictators, but few as deranged as Muammar Gaddafi, the man President Reagan dubs The Mad Dog of the Middle East. For over 40 years the Libyan despot terrifies, tortures and tricks the world with one horrific act after another. This is the story of Colonel Gaddafi, the Middle East’s longest serving dictator from his roots as an idealistic young revolutionary in 1969, to becoming one of the world’s most deadly terrorists. Mixing dramatic reconstruction with archive and testimony, this film shows how his quest to be taken seriously as an international statesman drives him to commit increasingly insane atrocities at home and abroad. It explains how he ends up an international pariah and reveals how his delusions of grandeur will lead to his downfall in 2011. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual the original video platform channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

In 1979, religion returned to the center of global politics. From the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan to the rise of Ronald Reagan, the election of Pope John Paul II, and the growing symbolic weight of Jerusalem, a new era began to take shape. Across East and West alike, political leaders, militants, and regimes started using faith not as private belief, but as a force of history. This documentary traces the moment when religion reentered the geopolitical battlefield and began to reshape alliances, revolutions, and wars. As old Cold War ideologies lost their monopoly, a new political language emerged, one that would transform the Middle East, unsettle the global balance of power, and leave a lasting mark on the decades that followed.

The history of aviation is a perpetual race. At no other time did more aircraft dominate the skies than during the Second World War. In the battle for supremacy in the skies, aircraft became a destructive weapon. Loaded with bombs and ammunition, they provided fear and terror from the air.
