Adolf Hitler once said: The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes. And we can agree with that sentiment, even if it came from a man like Hitler.

Below is some of that history:

1810 Napoleon annexes the Kingdom of Holland as part of the First French Empire.

2017 Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi proclaims victory over Islamic State forces in Mosul.

2017 Hundreds of thousands protest against the Turkish government at a rally in Istanbul, Turkey.
