"So that's Canada" was the top accidentally funny line from this miniseries.

You guys are completely representative of the British mindset when it comes to the shaping of the American West but you seem to forget that Great Britain, who colonized in Africa, Australia, Canada and India and who were thrown out of America, was a violent and demanding overlord in every nation that dwelled under the British flag, even into the mid 20th Century. Nations rioted and threw Britain out and England has now become just another victim of Islam with much more to come. Contemporaneously, you can bang or beat Custer and the officers and men of his period in history until the world becomes flat; it has been done before and to sit around an nit pick him and the US Army and Government to death just makes you gents a pair of Johnny Come Latelys to this dance. You don't seem to possess any idea of the volume, the scope or the details of the depredations against innocent settlers and travelers that were perpetrated by the various tribes during the early 1800s (particularly in Texas) up to the period of the forced subjugation of these wild tribes by the US Army. Read the first hand accounts of those events, there are a number from which you can choose, and your opinion of these killers on the American plains might be affected. I suggest you read: Indian Depredations in Texas by J. W. Wilbarger A Fate Worse Than Death by Gregory and Susan Michno And after you have read those two books pick up a copy of Plains Indian Raiders by William Sturtevant Nye and you'll get a picture of the composition of the US Army as it struggled through those days.

I was recently in Peru and it's interesting hearing how Spanish colonisation is viewed. In places like Lima (which was a Spanish founded city) the Spanish are viewed very positively and some of the descendants of the original conquistadors still have houses there. In Cusco, however, the capital city of the Inca, the view is quite different!

What now, 10 June ‘24, in Ukraine, history boys?

Huan ying (welcome) ni dao (you to) sheng xia dou shi li shi (the rest is history) 😂😂😂

So, will there be a 7th part? the battle itself?f

narcissist. psychopath.

Thank you very much. Up until listening to this, the best knowledge I had of this was from reading the book “Wild Swans” by Jung Chang, which details 3 generations of women including herself. I highly recommend this book.

Stumbling all over contingency here I'm afraid. The south, before the United States became so completely federalized, thought they had the right to secede over slavery or anything else. Their grandfathers had fought a successful civil war for economics. The watershed moment here is to go from a regionally diverse and much less centralized governmental culture to one in which any rebellion becomes unthinkable.

“UNA PLANTA DE OTRO MUNDO. UN VIAJE A TRAVÉS DEL CACAO ECUATORIANO” EXPOSICIÓN, Junio 7 a julio 7 de 2024. Real Jardín Botánico (RJB), Madrid, España Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (MCIU) de España La historia, la ciencia, la cultura y el arte del ‘Theobroma cacao’, y la labor de los científicos por dar a conocer esta especie en Europa. Homenaje al cacao a través de la ciencia botánica, el arte y la historia. Objetivo es dar a conocer ese periplo físico y simbólico de una popular especie cuya variedad cacao ‘fino aroma’ se encuentra entre las más prestigiosas de todo el mundo. WEB del Real Jardín Botánico (RJB), Madrid, España, 6 de junio de 2024 En 2018, un estudio publicado en la revista Nature Ecology & Evolution revelaba que las evidencias más antiguas del consumo del cacao habían sido localizadas en el sitio arqueológico de Santa Ana-La Florida, ubicado la ladera oriental de los Andes, en la Amazonía del Ecuador. Los restos de cacao en vasijas ceremoniales de la cultura Mayo-Chinchipe (3500-1500 a.C.) permitieron afirmar que este alimento ya era consumido en la zona en forma de bebida hace 5.300 años. De la Amazonía ecuatoriana viajó a Centroamérica hace unos 4.000 años, y, a partir de ese momento, tras el encuentro con los europeos, el chocolate inició en el siglo XVI una larga travesía hasta alcanzar la categoría de producto global. El cacao de la región de Ecuador era embarcado en navíos desde puertos del Pacífico con destino a España. Partiendo de esta raíz histórica, … (Sigue en la página web ...)

I think I object to a bit of the cynicism about northern abolitionists. These were not just white people who started to act once their economic interests were affected. That certainly doesn't account for the mass movement against slavery, or for the efforts of individuals as diverse as Stowe, Garrison, and Brown, who all bring nothing but moral weight to the issue, whether expressed religiously or not.

As Dom was listing the numbers of each nationality of passengers i just could help by adding "and a partridge in a pear tree" at the end.

Just discovered 'The Rest is History' and loving it. When talking about safety features on Titanic, one of the things that doesn't get mentioned is that she took about 2.5 HOURS to sink, which allowed time to muster passengers, launch lifeboats, and listen to the band play 'Nearer my God to thee'. Compare this to Empress of Ireland which sank in less than 15 minutes after a collision with another vessel in 1914. Titanic's design may not have saved her from sinking but did allow much more time for the crew to react to the damage.

Custer fathered an illegitimate child by a Cheyenne woman. The Cheyenne knew this and therefore considered him a relative. It is believed that this was the reason his body was not mutilated after he was killed.

He’s an Englishman 😂😂😂 Need I say more ?

Will they release more episodes on CZcams?

The reason marxism is not only allowable, but promoted is because the people who invented it control the entirety of western academia.

I like how soft and supple you read Libby Custers letter 😂😭

Rubbish lmao

Do you have shares in Usborme books Dr Dominic? It seems to be the main brand of books you’ve mentioned…love the show whether you do or not!

Am wondering why there hasn't been a podcast for some weeks now. Could someone please advise. Am missing the rest is history very much. The best podcasts on the internet without doubt.

Fascinating, thank you! As you said, there's a lot more. For example the enormous pressure, disco has put on many rock bands of that time. Thinking that they would sink in oblivion if they wouldn't adapt. This explains the release of songs like "miss you" from the stones, "do you think I'm sexy" Rod Stewart, "another one bites the dust" Queen, or "another brick in the wall" From Pink Floyd.

According to Philbrick's "The Last Stand", Custer spoke in rapid fire bursts almost impossible to understand. He may have suffered from what is these days described as 'cluttering'.

Even the ones I don't think I will like, I end up liking and relistening.

Some of these like the Nuremberg Trials and Night of the long knives are on youtube Music so I can listen to them as a podcast, but this one and a couple others in this playlist do not show up. Does anyone know why?

Absolute balls

Where are the next parts?

Part 7 ?

On the subject of Colonel Tarleton, unfortunately there was no mention of his being wounded in the right hand by the sabre of no less than Lt. Colonel William Washington, cousin of George Washington, who then chased Tarleton for sixteen miles! When he attacked Tarleton, Washington is said to have called out, “Where is now the boasting Tarleton?”

Making a claim about the horrors of dropping an atom bomb, but then in the same sentence talking about how it was helpful to establish it as a deterrence. The lack of reasoning and the abundance of shallow waffle on display here is an insult to the intelligence. Goodbye.

I would add to your excellent introduction, that it is also a story of betrayal, cowardice and pathological jealousy Custer’s two subordinate officers.

I wont do it in an Italian accent.......proceeds to do an Italian accent 😂😂😂❤

Robert Kennedy was shot on Marilyn Monroe's birthday.

The English were raping and killing to get there, not there from the start.

America History is Made by Lies!

Where are the latest episodes? Is there normally a lengthy delay or are these no longer being uploaded to CZcams?

Luther’s Bible downgraded 7 books from the inspired to apocrypha, the books contained the bits he didn’t like, so in a way, his reverence for scripture is inconsistent with the evidence.. not even scripture could have gotten in the way of Luther’s attempt at dealing with his issues..

As an American I can say you’ve done a great job here. Unfortunately most Americans are taught a children’s version of these events, reflected in many of the comments here. They never hear about the founders’ land speculating, their desire to drive out the Indians and take the West, their plans to conquer Canada, the New England merchants’ desire to take control of the Caribbean, and to expel all European powers from the entire hemisphere. Except for the conquest of Canada (there were two unsuccessful invasions), eventually all this just “happened”.

Narrated by Fred West. Here's to Fred!

What these three episodes have show with the esteemed Professor, is that Irish History,as present by him,continually regurgitates four hundred,or more,years of suffering at the hands of the English/British. Indeed no people in history have suffered longer and more at the hands of an oppressor. Well a case might be made for the Children of Israel in Egypt. There is an irony. Why this constant victimhood and looking for revenge is important is that Ireland’s default position is anti British. Northern Ireland must cease to exist. It extends to their self congratulating view of themselves as the ultimate arbiter of any conflict or dispute between peoples to invite Hamas to join them on their high moral ground. No hint of self analysis on the past history of Irish Republicans siding with Hitler or Catholic anti Semitic treatment of Jews in their current hatred of Israel. Past wrongs have continually to be righted in Irish society at all levels so there is no place in politics, academia or the Law for the likes of me. A Protestant Irish Citizen.

My history classes were never like this…

Pure lies.

I love it when you guys "lose control of the narrative" - they're often the best bits (like Hugo giving us pages about the sewers of Paris in Les Mis)

Love this podcast. Have you ever thought of doing one on Australia's Ned Kelly? You could bring in Peter Fitzsimmons as a guest.

Modern Israelis - pure evil... Modern Germans - lovely people. I wonder who was lying?

Utter Rubbish

Frontiersman 😂😂😂😂 omg !!! That sound was coffee spitting hilarious!!!!!

Belfast has actually existed since 655AD but obviously a Brit wouldn't wanna start history from before 1169 because then they might have to address the whole occupation and genocide.
