Lina Medina [1939] : The world's youngest mother ever

This 5-year-old peruvian, gave birth to a baby in May 14th, 1939 at a hospital in Pisco, Peru.
Her son weighed 2.7 kg (6 lb) at birth and was named Gerardo after her doctor. Gerardo was raised believing that Lina was his sister, but found out at the age of ten that she was his mother. He grew up healthy but died in 1979 at the age of 40 of a disease of the bone marrow.

How possible is it for a girl of 5 years old to conceive and deliver a child? This is unbelievable.

Rocktation: Footprint on the Moon [Lunar, 1969]

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong put his left foot on the rocky Moon. It was the first human footprint on the Moon. They had taken TV cameras with them. The first footprints on the Moon will be there for a million years. This photograph was taken by Buzz Aldrin.
Lies, America never travled to the moon. One of the conspiracy theories.

Dr. Lozada took her to Lima, the capital of Peru, prior to the surgery to have other specialists confirm that Lina was in fact pregnant. A month and a half later, on May 14, 1939, she gave birth to a boy by a caesarean section necessitated by her small pelvis. The surgery was performed by Dr. Lozada and Dr. Busalleu, with Dr. Colretta providing anaesthesia. Her case was reported in detail by Dr. Edmundo Escomel to La Presse Medicale, along with the additional details that her menarche had occurred at 8 months of age, and that she had had prominent breast development by the age of 4. By age 5 her figure displayed pelvic widening and advanced bone maturation.

Rocktation: Losing

In this picture, Lurlena cries in the back of the family car after losing the contest for Carnival Princess at her school. She spent the day getting ready, with a new white dress and new shoes. The winner was decided based on whose parents bought the most tickets, and Lurlena’s family could only afford eight dollars worth.
Chai, touching cry

There was never evidence that Lina Medina's pregnancy occurred in any but the usual way, but she never revealed the father of the child, nor the circumstances of her impregnation. Dr. Escomel suggested she might not actually know herself by writing that Lina "couldn't give precise responses." Lina's father was arrested on suspicion of rape and incest, but was later released due to lack of evidence. Medina later married Raúl Jurado, who fathered her second son in 1972. They live in a poor district of Lima known as Chicago Chico ("Little Chicago"wink. She refused an interview with Reuters in 2002.

Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima is a historic
photograph taken on February 23, 1945, by Joe
Rosenthal. It depicts five United States Marines
and a U.S. Navy corpsman raising the flag of the
United States atop Mount Suribachi during the
Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II.

The photograph was extremely popular, being
reprinted in thousands of publications. Later, it
became the only photograph to win the Pulitzer
Prize for Photography in the same year as its
publication, and came to be regarded in the
United States as one of the most significant and
recognizable images of the war, and possibly the
most reproduced photograph of all time.

Of the six men depicted in the picture, three
( Franklin Sousley , Harlon Block , and Michael
Strank ) were killed during the battle; the three
survivors ( John Bradley , Rene Gagnon, and Ira
Hayes) became celebrities upon their
identification in the photo.

Rwanda, June 1994. Hutu man mutilated by the Hutu ‘Interahamwe’ militia, who suspected him of sympathizing with the Tutsi rebels. About the image Nachtwey says his specialty is dealing with ground level realities with a human dimension. He feels that people need photography to help them understand what’s going on in the world, and believes that pictures can have a great influence on shaping public opinion and mobilizing protest.

Phan Thị Kim Phúc, O.Ont (born 1963) is a
Vietnamese-Canadian best known as the child
depicted in the Pulitzer Prize -winning photograph
taken during the Vietnam War on June 8, 1972.
The iconic photo taken in Trang Bang by AP
photographer Nick Ut shows her at about nine
years of age running naked on a road after being
severely burned on her back by a South
Vietnamese napalm attack.

Associated Press
photographer Nick Ut's photograph of Kim Phuc
running naked amid other fleeing villagers, South
Vietnamese soldiers and press photographers
became one of the most haunting images of the
Vietnam War . In an interview many years later,
she recalled she was yelling, Nóng quá, Nong
quá ("too hot, too hot") in the picture.

She now lives in Toronto and is a goodwill
ambassador for UNESCO. (Jae C. Hong/Associated
Press)

Hated because they were strong, hardworking etc- just the same beef their forefathers faced in Egypt. Simply beef, nothing more. Infact, when the British government declared war against Germany; the Jews rejoiced and thought the end of their suffering was near bt thngs didn't go as wished. D harm was already done before the Americans decided to join in the fight against the enemy and brought an end to WW2. Book an appointment with History or discovery channel on dstv.
