From the HMS Invincible's triumphant return from the Falklands in 1982 to the haunting images on the Daily Mail War Map during WW1, it has left an indelible mark on history. Whether it is the relentless pursuit of victory in 'Search And Destroy' missions or Hannah Duston's daring escape from capture by Native Americans, tales of resilience and survival emerge. Wartime posters echoing Churchill's famous words rally nations together, while Elizabeth Southerden Thompson's masterpiece 'Scotland forever' immortalizes bravery on canvas. The stoic gaze of Sioux Chief Sitting Bull reminds us of indigenous resistance amidst turmoil. The Battle of Lake Erie in the War of 1812 stands as a testament to naval clashes that shaped nations. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's iconic V for victory salute symbolizes unwavering determination against all odds. Yet amid strife, moments of levity arise, like a man smashing cake on another man's face – a reminder that even in conflict, humor finds its place. Metope sculptures depicting battles at Parthenon and Greek Anti-Turkish Propaganda Postcards reveal how ancient civilizations harnessed art to propagate their narratives.
