About This Tool
The satellite historical images of Google Earth can help us remember many things and the maps that we remember also remind us to respect life and nature. Satellite maps record not only some pictures but also these painful and important historical events that are gradually forgotten by people. It is reported that Google used 8 years of history to collect historical photos, including aerial and satellite photos and other sources, and added these photos to the latest version of Google Earth.
Through a slideshow function, users can look back on the history that has happened and understand how certain regions looked like years ago or even decades ago. Our random tool collected 20 Google Earth satellite pictures of these places where historical events happened, such as Pearl Harbor, Berlin Wall, Tower of London, etc.
