Oh my god as an Irish person I’ve been dying for episodes on the revolutions! Would love to see a Michael Collins centered episode going into the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the Civil War!

I'm so happy as an irish person to see our history animated by you guys

[jubbos]

I just spent the last 2 hours studying for my Irish history test and came to youtube for a cool down before actually starting it. Found my way here somehow... learning more Irish history

[danoham]

If you're ever in Dublin I STRONGLY encourage you to visit the GPO they do tours telling you all about the rising and you can still see the bullet holes that were never repaired on the front of the building

8:30 Roger Casement is well known in Peru. He stood up for the rights of indigenous people being exploited in the Peruvian rainforst by evil landowners. In fact he is the main character in the historical novel "El Sueño del Celta" by Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa. It's worth pointing out that said novel came out a few days after Mario was awarded the Literature Nobel Prize. To this day he is the only Peruvian to have won said prize.

I've been watching extra history for years now I love you guys videos they've taught me a lot of things

[ColdClock]

As a person from the UK, I'm happy to see Irish history (like this and the potato famine) presented here as it's an important part of our history that was not taught when I was at school.

From the Battle of Blair Mountain to the Easter Rising ? This is awesome ! Would love to see a mini episode on maybe the Austrian Civil War since we are going from uprising to uprising.

"As down the glen one Easter morn',
To a city fair rode I.
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by.

No pipe did hum,
No battle drum,
Did sound its loud tattoo,
But the Angelus Bells
O'er the Liffey swells,
Rang out in the foggy dew."

-'The Foggy Dew', Irish Song about the Easter Rising, First Verse

I'm Irish and I'm so happy about this series existing.

Great video as always! One small thing ireland would not become a republic after 6 years it would become the Irish free state a dominion of the British empire like Canada and South Africa. Ireland would officially become a republic in 1949

[Buhyeu]

Ah an Ireland history video, nice to hear more about my history

[davididiart]

Dublin was an amazing city to visit. It's so eerie to walk through where the Rising happened, and still see the bullet holes. Chilling. Exhilarating.

As my Irish Granpa would say: "Erin go Braugh!"

[pepsiman]

I’m so happy that you guys are making videos the Easter rising, it’s such an important part of Irish modern history

[DonFlufflesPrime]

As an Irish-American I just wanted to thank you guys for making a video on the Easter Rising! Most people of Irish descent here really don't get taught about Irish history, culture, language, or anything regarding the country and people living there. This video was an amazing summary of the beginnings of the Easter Rising and hopefully it inspires people to learn more about Irish history as it's really fascinating!

[neilhannan]

L love the Series on the Potato Famine and how you guys talk about it great knowing million of People who love history know a little but more because of your guys and now people around the world can watch this series of new episodes

[Apledore]

Happened to be in Ireland for a week in 2016. It was nice to see all the commemorative stuff and learn a bit of history we'd never heard.

[jnev]

I was dreading clicking on this considering how often *our* history is taught to people through the British lense, well done lads

[SzikrásAnna-火花安娜]

I love these episodes!! Rebellions are always particularly interesting. I hope one day we can see a series on the Russian revolution. I've been reading about it, and it really is a very important event to understand to be able to contextually the 20th century. I'd recommend "Ten Days That Shook the World" by John Reed, and "The History of the Russian Revolution" by Trotsky as two immensely valuable accounts of that era.

A quick note of correction at 1:32. By 1922, Ireland would not be "a republic independent from the United Kingdom". It was instead the Irish Free State which was a dominion of the British Empire, of similar status to Canada and Australia. In fact, it would not become a full republic until 1949 when it severed ties with the Commonwealth.
