Srebrenica: The Massacre That Shook the World and Changed Nothing | Full Documentary
In the 1990s, the collapse of Yugoslavia triggered nearly a decade of war in the Balkans, leaving more than 100,000 dead and millions displaced in the worst European conflict since World War II. This documentary follows the final and bloodiest phase of that disintegration: from the Washington Agreement of March 1994 to the fall of Srebrenica on July 11, 1995, when General Ratko Mladic's troops breached the UN protection zone and systematically murdered over 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the largest massacre on European soil since 1945. While the United Nations watched and stalled, Sarajevo endured the longest siege of the 20th century at 1,425 days, until NATO's Operation Deliberate Force in August 1995 forced the warring parties to the table, ending the Bosnian War with the Dayton Agreement signed in Paris on December 14, 1995. Yet peace proved fragile: as the Kosovo Liberation Army, founded in 1996, escalated its guerrilla war against Serbian forces, the Racak massacre of January 1999 triggered NATO's Operation Allied Force on March 24, 1999, with 78 days of airstrikes that saw German jets in combat for the first time since World War II. Milosevic capitulated in June 1999, and Karadzic and Mladic were eventually sentenced to life imprisonment in The Hague, but with Bosnia's ethnic divisions frozen, Kosovo's independence still unrecognized by Serbia, and outside powers competing for influence across the region, the powder keg of the Western Balkans remains dangerously unresolved. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual youtube channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

Atlantis, Tutankhamun & Noah's Ark: The Truth Behind The Legends | Extralong documentary
For centuries, the greatest myths and legends have refused to die. A beast of Gévaudan that killed over 100 people in 18th-century France and was never identified. Werewolves put on trial across medieval Europe. Ghost stories that still draw paranormal investigators today. The Pharaoh's Curse that allegedly struck down 17 people after Howard Carter broke the seal on Tutankhamun's tomb in the Valley of the Kings. The lost city of Atlantis that Plato described in such detail that researchers still hunt for it beneath Santorini and the Mediterranean. And Noah's Ark — one of the most enduring biblical mysteries of all time. This full documentary brings archaeologists, historians and scientists together to investigate the ancient mysteries our ancestors believed without question — and asks what modern evidence can actually tell us about them today. From real werewolf hunts to the witch trials of the Hammer of Witches. From the toxic mold that may explain the curse of the pharaohs to the volcanic eruption that may have destroyed an entire civilization. From the geological evidence behind the Great Flood to the hidden history of ancient Egypt and the lost worlds of ancient history. How much of what sounds like monster legends is rooted in something real? A feature-length mystery documentary for fans of unsolved mysteries, history documentary content and the greatest stories humanity has ever told. -- Welcome to the official Get.factual youtube channel! 🌍 We are a documentary streaming channel covering history, science, technology, and nature.

One People, One Reich, One Leader | The Normalization of Nazi Rule | Full Documentary
How did Hitler succeed in transforming a republic into a "Führer state" in such a short time? How did the "enforced conformity" of society take place? How willingly did the Germans fall in line? How far did the unison of "Führer and people" extend? After Hitler was elevated to the office of Reich Chancellor on January 30, 1933, he began the final destruction of democracy and the establishment of a totalitarian dictatorship. "One people, one Reich, one leader" was the central Nazi slogan - claiming that only one power and one opinion should rule in state and society. It was followed by "enforced conformity " of the Federal States, of parties, media, trade unions, which often also meant "elimination". Even the military pledged allegiance to Hitler.

Conspiracy in the Harem: Was Ramses III Murdered by His Wives? | Full Documentary
A sensation: during a computer tomography examination, the palaeopathologist Albert Zink discovers a seven-centimetre-wide wound on the neck of the mummy of Ramses III. A cut that completely severed the oesophagus as well as the trachea. The Egyptian ruler Ramses III was murdered. A court document from the time accuses his harem women of having planned a conspiracy against the pharaoh. According to tradition, Ramses III had many wives. They live together in the royal women's house. Usually, the pharaoh chooses his "Great Royal Wife" from among them. Only her first-born son follows the pharaoh on the throne. But Ramses III cannot make up his mind. He allows three queens to become powerful at court. Did a power struggle break out among Ramses' sons, resulting in the death of the pharaoh?

Circumnavigating the Earth: The Dramatic Voyage of Magellan and Elcano | Full Documentary
In the year 1519 the Portuguese captain Ferdinand Magellan and his men set sail on behalf of the Spanish crown - on one of the greatest maritime adventures in history. The first circumnavigation of the world was of comparable importance at that time to the space travel of the 20th century. For the first time man succeeded in getting a glimpse of the true dimension of the planet. But the original goal of the expedition was quite different. The 15th and 16th century is the age of enormous upheavals. With dramatic consequences in all areas of life. Martin Luther reforms the church, Copernicus ousts man from his place at the centre of the universe and European seafarers paint a completely new picture of the earth. Against this background, the film tells the story of Ferdinand Magellan.

When Lions Meet Hyenas: Africa's Deadliest Rivalry Explained
: In the heart of the Maasai Mara, two of Africa's most powerful predator dynasties are locked in a timeless battle for dominance. The Rock Pride of lions commands a strategic valley of rocky outcrops, where waterholes draw a steady stream of prey. Just nearby, a tightly organized spotted hyena clan runs on an entirely different logic: where lion kings rarely last more than two years, female-led hyena clans can hold together for generations. But when the Rock Pride's kings are deposed by foreign males and their older sons are driven out as nomads, the balance of power shifts dramatically. Five young male lions must learn to hunt and survive on their own, facing buffalo herds, warthogs in burrows and the constant threat of rival prides. Two solo lionesses strike out independently, only to discover that every kill they make risks being snatched by hyena clans willing to overwhelm them with sheer numbers.
