The history of aviation is a perpetual race. From the very beginning, inventors, pilots, designers and other sky stormers competed to make their dream of flying come true. The first part of the documentary tells the stories of aviation pioneers such as Otto Lilienthal, the Wright brothers or Louis Blériot, who realised their dream of flying against all odds. Women were also fascinated by flying, but they had a much harder time asserting themselves in this male-dominated world. Nevertheless, they set records, like the American Amelia Earhart, who was the first woman to cross the Atlantic in her plane. The two-part documentary tells of the race to develop the first fighter plane, of so-called ""flying races"" and of the invention of the world's first passenger plane. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual youtube channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

Episode 5 - https://youtu.be/mhKUmlm7kgo In World War II, success wasn't just about frontline weaponry; espionage and intelligence played crucial roles. Devices like the Enigma and codebreakers like the Bombe were as vital as tanks and guns. Weapons were designed for partisans and assassins, made for stealth and ease of hiding. Hollywood even aided in camouflaging factories and misdirecting forces, causing chaos for the enemy. With novel codes, decoys, and specialized firearms, spies and saboteurs showcased the clandestine dimension of the conflict. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual youtube channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

The Moche flourished in a narrow strip between the Pacific Ocean and the Andres mountains of Peru for 650 years (100-750 AD). Sometimes referred to as the 'Greeks of the Andes', the Moche may have founded the first South American state. Their culture was contemporary with the Nazca civilisation but through conquest and expansion they were able to accumulate the wealth and power necessary to become the most important pre-Incan culture. Despite desert conditions, they created a prosperous agricultural civilisation: their engineers building canals up to 32 km long to irrigate the land. Their temples and monuments include enormous pyramid mounds which dominate the landscape to this day. But their society is short-lived and around the 6th century AD, the Moche succumb to a series of disasters that lead to the end of their culture.

The battles of World War II brought new strategies to the fore. Chief among them was the ability to use technology to wreak destruction from afar. From unique engineering solutions like the Dambusters bouncing bomb, to the bunker-busting Tall Boy and Grand Slam some of these secret weapons were designed for a specific battlefield purpose. Others hoped to harness the innate capabilities of nature to deliver their destuctiveness, like the unerring precision of the homing pigeon, incendiary-armed bats or the Fu-Go balloon bomb. Some represented fantastic leaps forward in technology like the worlds first cruise- and ballistic-missiles and one, the nuclear bomb, would even go on to define an age. Each was designed in secret to serve a particular purpose, or solve a new problem. And if they succeeded, they were revealed for the first time as a blazing ball of fire.

Kim Jong-il: The World's Most Dangerous Dictator? - https://youtu.be/TnbC9Y1MJF8 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 youtube channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

He’s a man born into power… the heart of the axis of evil. He tortures and executes hundreds of thousands of his own people with his finger held closely to the button. This is the story of a man with an insatiable desire for power and fame. A man raised to be a dictator who rules with sadistic cruelty. A man who let his people suffer in one of the world’s worst famines while he lives the high life with imported women, booze and the world’s finest foods. It’s North Korea’s Kim Jong-il. Stories from defectors include the rumour that he drowned his younger brother as a child, that he bugged his own father to see if he was considering someone else to take over from him, and that he had rivals shot if he thought they might stand in his way - all fell by the wayside in Kim‘s ruthless quest for power. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual youtube channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

Founded at the beginning of the 9th century CE, the Khmer Empire had been one of the most powerful states in Southeast Asia, covering much of Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and Southern Vietnam. The jewel in the crown was the capital city of the Khmer – Angkor – containing the largest religious structure ever built, Angkor Wat. The key to this growth was the Khmer mastery of rice cultivation and water management. Khmer cities were ‘hydraulic cities’, made up of complex systems of canals and reservoirs called ‘barays’, which steered water from the Khulen mountains to the plains of Angkor, ensuring a year-round supply for the population, agriculture, and livestock. Soon, however, the very factors that allowed the empire to rise lead to the abandonment of the Khmer’s magnificent temple-cities and their reclaim by the rainforest.

Hundreds of years ago, sea-faring people called the Rapa Nui flourished on a small island at the easternmost edge of the Polynesian Islands – the Easter Island. When Europeans explorers first arrived in 1722, they found a tropical paradise, a land safeguarded by mysterious stone figures known as the moai. Hundreds of these statues dot the land to this day, facing inwards on the island, as if protecting its people. Scholars and archaeologists have spent centuries sifting through discoveries, trying to solve the mystery of the Rapa Nui. They soon discovered that the outbreak of a major conflict had devastating effects for the population on the Easter Island. Suddenly after, the Rapa Nui further succumbed to a series of deadly events that saw the entire social order of the island collapse and their culture, lost to history.

The Aztec Empire was the last great civilisation and dominant power of Mesoamerica in the 15th and 16th centuries. By the time the Spanish arrived in 1519, the Aztecs had built an empire covering an area of about 200km2. Its capital city of Tenochtitlan was a huge trading centre and it supported up to 140,000 people, making it the largest city in the Pre-Columbian Americas. Underpinning this empire was its military power of conscripted adult males. Aztec cities boasted temples, palaces and artwork displaying devotion to many gods. They developed sophisticated writing systems, calendars, and a religion that required human sacrifice. Yet their powerful empire would soon be decimated by their encounters with European colonisers and their demise does not just lie in the technological advantages their conquerors had against them.

Hitler had outwardly emphasized his will for peace, yet once he came to power, he committed his top commanders to a war of extermination that would secure the German Reich’s supremacy in Europe and so-called "Living Space” in the East. Starving or killing entire populations in the conquered territories was part of the murderous plan. Even the non-aggression pact with Stalin served primarily to deceive. Just as every future campaign, the invasion of Poland was accompanied by the lie that Germany had only forestalled the enemy. In his megalomaniacal belief in his own infallibility, he increasingly usurped military planning.

The Minoans, considered by many as the first European civilisation, flourished in the islands of the Aegean in the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE before eventually disappearing around 1100 BC. A sophisticated people, both artistically and technologically, they are described as the first literate society in Europe, having left behind an unmatched legacy of unique art and architecture, incredible labyrinth-like palace complexes and fine artefacts. Their mercantile culture led to their presiding over a vast trade network and the grandeur of their civilisation is immortalised in the myth of King Minos and the Minotaur trapped beneath his palace at Knossos. But despite an extended period of cultural growth, Minoan civilisation is abruptly ended around 1550 BC as a result of a powerful explosive event.

It's a giant of the seas. The most powerful vessel France has ever designed! The Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier is the emblem of the French Navy. It can launch 20 Rafale fighter jets in a record time of 20 minutes. A feat made possible by rare technology. Here, the aircraft do not take off the usual way. They are literally launched into the air by a catapult, hidden under the flight deck. At that moment, a pilot weighing 80 kg on the scales weighs 320 kg. An intense physical ordeal, but one with a decisive advantage. It allows aircraft armed with heavy bombs to be launched. Only the United States and France have the capability to catapult fighter jets.
