The video for the 1956 Hungarian Revolution has its comments disabled, so I decided to pop on over here and tell you a massive THANK YOU! Your video was much more clear and easier to understand than any other resource I have found and it helped MASSIVELY with my paper. Thank you so much!

Great vid thanks for sharing...we didn't do much on the Civil War when I was at school, during the last ice age 😉 so most of what I know is from when I used to go "Sealed Knotting" bsck in the 80's.
One of our old houses at school was called Fairfax along with Stafford, ànother reprobate from the time.
You have a new subscriber btw 😄
