I'm detecting a rising level of frustration and efforts to cut short the carping, snipping, and joking – Yes, we know we're leaving a lot of stuff out; Yes, we know what Kut means in Dutch; No, we don't speak every language and don't have proper accenting on every word in other tongues.
i find it annoying the english still hold onto northern ireland despite the waste of resources, money, and lives. whats so important about northern ireland? england's pride?
Interesting. Any plans to cover the Mexican Revolution?
I've a bit of a soft spot for Ireland, no reason except for a family connection (I know that's a silly reason).
Add killing the signers of the declaration to the list of stupid leader moves of WW1. They made instant martyrs of them and turned the local and international Irish communities against them and made sympathizers of other communities.
For a more irreverent but earnest depiction of the Rising, you should check out the Rubberbandits guide to 1916 if you can find it.
Can you guys do an episode about Japan? I remember you guys talking about their contributions way at the beginning of the channel, but that's about it
Could you discuss the popular WW1 books, 'All Quiet on the Western Front' and 'Somme Mud' in an episode to further elaborate on particular soldiers' experiences
Indy, with all due respect, not once did you mention the differences between the Catholics vs. the Anglicans (English) and Presbyterians (Scot-Irish). This was a religious war from start to finish. The 'roots' are from the heretic Henry VIII of England.
9:20… England handled this badly…
HAPPY ANZAC DAY
hey anyone who's new to the rising, just so you know the Ulster volunteers are the badguys and the Irish volunteers are the good guys
O'maighty Eyerland you will raise again!
Nicely done. Thanks
Ulster is still British.
are you not going to discuss romania at all? its only a few months until romania enters the war! surely some scheming was done long before the actual declaration! no discussing that?
Those Micks sure would be sore without their phoney gorta mor
Long live the heroes. I love your stuff, Indy.
Great episode.
Little note, not to be a prat but just for your own knowledge – Padraig/Padraic is pronounced "poor-rick" or "paw-drick"
Love the show
Thank you Guys! I been waiting of this. Keep up the Great Work!
