About Thirty Years of War in God’s Name I SLICE HISTORY

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.

Dunkirk 1940: How the Allies Escaped Hitler’s Trap I SLICE HISTORY

In May 1940, Germany’s invasion of the Netherlands and Belgium drew the strongest British and French forces north. The real blow then came through the Ardennes, where German armored divisions broke through, reached the Channel coast, and trapped the Allied armies against the sea. This documentary retraces the road to Dunkirk, from the collapse of Allied strategy and the battles for Boulogne, Calais and Lille to Operation Dynamo and the arrival of the Little Ships. Under constant air attack, nearly 338,000 British, French and Belgian troops escaped, while thousands of others fought, died or were captured buying them time.

Joseph Stalin: The Dictator Who Killed Millions

For 30 years Joseph Stalin “the man of steel” ruthlessly dominated the Soviet Union. Born into poverty on the fringes of the Czarist Russian Empire, he became a gangster and then a revolutionary. Under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin he was part of the original Bolshevik leadership team, but when Lenin died he took his chance to grab the top spot. Nothing and no-one would stop him. His quest for absolute power transformed his nation, but at a brutal cost. His tools for advancement were famine, slavery and execution: so many millions died to secure his power that he can be accused of genocide. Friends and enemies alike would be executed so that Stalin might become all-powerful. Using terror and sophisticated propaganda to promote himself, Stalin made himself into a communist God, and condemned his people to live in fear for decades. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual the original video platform channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.
