Historia olvidada | Nicholas Bailey | TEDxKings College School

Nicholas Bailey, alumno de Year 10 en King's College School, Wimbledon, analiza las partes de la historia que quedan detrás de los nombres y fechas más conocidos. La charla comienza con su investigación familiar sobre su bisabuelo, que sirvió con los Chindits en Birmania, una fuerza que rara vez aparece en los relatos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. También aborda a un emperador etíope del siglo XIX y el sistema de escritura más antiguo del mundo. Se presentó en un evento TEDx organizado de forma independiente siguiendo el formato TED.

• Investigación familiar sobre un bisabuelo que sirvió con los Chindits en Birmania
• Un emperador etíope del siglo XIX
• El sistema de escritura más antiguo del mundo

Nicholas's great-grandfather served with the Chindits in Burma, a force that rarely appears in accounts of the Second World War. Beginning with his own family research, and taking in a nineteenth-century Ethiopian emperor and the world's oldest writing system, he makes a case for the parts of history that sit behind the famous names and dates. Nicholas is a Year 10 pupil at King's College School, Wimbledon. He enjoys all his academic subjects, but is particularly passionate about History and Classics. Alongside his academic studies, he is a keen musician. He is a member of the English Schools Orchestra and principal horn in the Stoneleigh Youth Orchestra. At school, he enjoys debating, hockey, tennis, and reading club. In his free time, he likes Lego and reading books about history. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
