Malcolm Little, leader of Black Fascist Party, speaking in Nashville Tennessee in 1955.

Black Fascist militia in 1950's. Their prime time was during American Troubles in 1950's. Their activity mostly ended by 1960's and BFP basically ceased from exist in 1970's. Even still nowadays there is some activist groups who claim being successor organisations of BFP but they are mainly very small and easily dealt by local police forces.

Ku Klux Klan marching in Georgia during American Troubles in 1950's. This was last time when organisation had any signifance but its activity became even more difficult after US government declared KKK as terrorist organisation in 1953. By 1960 the organisation was dissolved as several small hate groups and nowadays their successor organisations are pretty small and usually easily dealt by local police forces.

A plateful of spaghetti alla Massauana, spaghetti with tomato sauce containing berberè. A staple of Eritrean cuisine and one of the most famous dishes, alongside zighinì, the famous beef or chicken stew cooked in the aforementioned spices and served with a side of either mushed legumes or spinach on injeira bread (though the one served in mainland Italy and Lybia tends to be less sour than the original). Zighinì has become so popular, that some people fail to realize it wasn't a wholly Italian dish originally, and it's not uncommon to find "plain" Italian resturants elsewhere in the world serving zighinì alongside Bolognese or Carbonara.

A traditional gattì (originally ga'at) as served in a restaurant in Tio. This dish, originally a savoury breakfast food for the plains Eritreans, has been adopted in Italy as a sweet dessert, usually filled with cream or chocolate, and can sometimes be found in bakeries. Other such examples of major adoptions or modifications of food from assimilated cultures in Italy include zighinì alla Romana ( in which the berberè stew is cooked with artichokes and eggs), ummo (hummus, with two variants: Fenicio and Ebraico, depending on whether it's made out of chickpeas or out of lentils), pasta alla giudaica (short pasta, usually penne, served with lamb sauce and a simple onion-leek soffritto).

Going into culinary differences? Clever, I think this is the first timeline to do so.

He and some of his men begun help Polish resistanse movement, Polish civilians and Jews always when it was possible. He too send some military information to Polish resistanse movement. During his years in Warsaw he befriended with many Poles and too with some Jews like Wladyslaw Spilzman. He lost any his remaining faith to Hitler when he attacked to Italy on December 1943.

Military parade in Warsaw on May 10, 2019, 75th anniversary of beginning of Warsaw Uprising. During years of Communist regime whole uprising was tried minimise as small non-important skirmish, obviously due Soviet frustration that Poles liberated their capital not Soviets. Soon after Communist era 10th May was declared as national holiday. Nowadays Poland has one of most effective armies in Eastern Europe and Poles are extremely proud that they were one of few nations which liberated their capital from nazis without foreign help.

Monument in Warsaw to victims of First and Second Holocaust. Nowadays Poland has one of strictest legistatures against anti-semitism and Holocaust denial.

On 2 June 2019 several heads of states and some still living Auschwitz survivors and their descendants gathered nearby Auschwitz to mark 75th annversary of liberation of the camp.

Image of the city centre of Graziania, Italy's poorest comune according to ISTAT in 2018, located in the region of Abissinia Esterna under the province of Giggiga. The town is one of the many "settler towns" built in the Fifties and Sixties, after the experiments made with LAtina and Lakki were successful, to house refugees and alleviate pressure on larger city centres. The town's population numbers at 2068 people, with most being former Italian settlers, but also containing a few descendants of Polish and Slovenian refugees; and lives off its position as necessary stopover on the highway between Makallè and Mogadishu.

The Lion of Judah Statue, an historical monument returned to Ethiopia from Rome as a gesture of goodwill in 2000.
Italy sent a statement in which it hoped this could amend the mistakes of the past. The Ethiopian government never answered.

The Obelisk of Axum, brought to Italy after the conquest of Ethiopia in 1937, is located in Porta Capena, Rome. The Ethiopian government demands that it be returned to Ethiopia, which is unlikely to happen in the near future, as the archaeological site of Axum is in the Italian province of Eritreal anyway.

Studios of Cinecittà in Rome. Cinecittà is largest movie industrial site in Europe and one of largest in the world, probably only Hollywood and several Indian and Chinese movie industrial centers being even bigger. In Italy is not any notable movie maker who wouldn't had worked there and there has worked many famous foreign movie makers too like Ingmar Begrman, François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock and many other notable movie makers from Europe and United States. Even many Eastern European movie makers have created new career there when they faced being impossible to work in Soviet Union and its slave states. And there has been worked even some Asian movie makers like Akira Kurosawa. Italian movies are one of most popular ones around the world. Of course years of Fascism there was quiet much of limits on movie making but after fall of Fascism movie industry too liberalised greatly.

Ulundi, capital city of Kingdom of Zululand. Zululand was originally established as bantustan and in 1980's Zululand and other bantustans were made independent countries by South African Apartheid regime. Zululand was long time under authotarian reign of Mangosuthu Buthelezi. He controlled Zululand until his resignation in 2018. Zululand is pretty poor nation but still more prosperous than other former bantustans. The country managed create some trade connections with its neighbors. Zululand is too quiet hated by other ex-bantustans and many African nations when they see Zulus being collaboratists of South African apartheid regime. This claim is not quiet true. Zululand has too many limitations with South Africa and SA still intervene to domestic issues of the country. Nowadays Zululand is somehow democratic but it has some pretty authotarian things and right-wing, nationalist Inkatha Party has still much power in the country.
