20 Photos of People From Recent and More Distant History

When reading through a textbook or watching a documentary, it can be hard to remember that history isn't just a bunch of notes; it was a bunch of people. Yes geopolitics happened on a large scale, and this side defeated that side in the battle of who gives a lard in 1486, but driving all of that action were real people. 


Fortunately, the photograph allows us to see those real people for who they were in more modern history, and these pics of celebs in their younger years along with historical figures are a nice compilation of important people from the past hundred years or so. 


From Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, (yes they're part of history), to a man sliding down the banister at Saddam Hussein's palace, enjoy some cool snaps from history, and the cool people within them.
