Seeing streets named after Cromwell on these lands disturbs me so much. May we one day see a united Ireland after all the struggle and suffering. It's interesting as well that Irish republicanism was founded by Protestants like Wolfe Tone who had strong moral foundations. Wonderful introduction video to the history of Ireland, I'd be really interested in seeing a more detailed one too!

This channel is next level underrated, using this for my own content and school stuff is incredibly useful. Keep up the good work!

Really great insight into Ireland’s history! Few things I’d add or alter but main thing is that during the famine Irish farmers had smaller plots of land and so the most beneficial way to use the land was the potato so when the potato became diseased the other crops being grown in Ireland, barley etc, were exported by the English whilst the Irish population starved to death and resulted in Ireland’s population halving.

You left out The Troubles!

(Perhaps he’s saving this chapter for the Northern Ireland video(

Hey Mr. History, just wanted to say, your videos are epic and your gonna blow up soon! Keep at it!

[loudmouthnewyorker]

Fantastic as always. Man o man I don't know why this channel isn't exploding already. Under 10K subscribers is ridiculous.

The History of Greece video popped up in my recommendation... I was surprised by how well-made the content is. You have earned my sub. I look forward to seeing more of your amazing content!

Loved hearing "Foggy Dew" in the back, as always, this video is masterfully done

One reason there was no food in Ireland during the potato blight was that the British EXPORTED the food that was in Ireland at the time. Many countries experienced the very same potato blight but only Ireland experienced mass deaths. This is something the British themselves acknowledge.

Ireland is such fascinating country. I hope I get to visit it one day. Much love from my home nation, Irish peoples.

The Irish had a written language called Ogham Before they change to the Latin alphabet.

Ogham (/ˈɒɡəm/ OG-əm, [4] Modern Irish: [ˈoː(ə)mˠ]; Middle Irish: ogum, ogom, later ogam [ˈɔɣəmˠ][5][6]) is an Early Medieval alphabet used primarily to write the early Irish language (in the "orthodox" inscriptions, 4th to 6th centuries CE), and later the Old Irish language (scholastic ogham, 6th to 9th centuries).

Well done as usual. I'm belatedly enjoying your histories.
I suspect Mr History has some Irish in him to appreciate all of the booze references.

The north east did not choose to "stay" in the UK. The Republic could not liberate it and the Treaty signed for independence was only for the 26 counties in the south as there would be more war which Ireland at that point would not win if they decided to fight for the entire Nation of 32 counties.

We need a super quick history of Serbia

Fantastic video. Keep it up. Not enough people are seeing these.

[oogalook]

Fantastic video, as always! That intro, I think, is still an issue. It's nice and fun (for your fans like me!), but probably too long and too amateur-looking for new viewers. I anticipate a lot of potential viewers click away before seeing the top-tier work making up the bulk of the show. I clicked away the first time for this very reason. Fortunately, I still really wanted to know about Ethiopia ;)

[nicolegervasoni]

I enjoyed the humorous account immensely and I learnt things!

[raisa_cherry]

Just the kind of channel I want, short-cut description saves time ❤👍 keep it going Mr History. New subscriber here :)
