Massive respect for David Starkey. Never mind his impact from the sidelines, I want to see him in charge of education. What a diamond, popularizing history the way he does.

@roc7880 Год назад

that would make snowflakes cry. I mean both sides snowflakes. it is time to go back to teaching facts not feelings and idenitity

@twotonne5580 Год назад

Then thank goodness you don’t have anything to do with education. Starkey is a decent populist historian and an undoubted politically partisan human. Always best kept away from education.

Like many others, I have always admired Winston Churchill. He was a once-in-a-generation orator in the great European oratory tradition began in Ancient Greece and Rome. I’m reading his History of the English-Speaking Peoples. As with any work of history, it reflects the attitudes, some negative, of his time and place, but I enjoy it tremendously.

@dorothyramser7805 Год назад

I do too.

@paulmanson253 Год назад

Hah. I just lent my box set to my chiropractor. Bought the thing more than 30 years ago. You are the first person other than him to show interest . His background as a newspaperman shows in his writing style. And yes it is very much a period document. Enjoy.

PLEASE POST PART 2. An argument not just for reading/studying history but for the ties that bind a nation, invisible strong like oaths. It seems Britain has today lost all sense of national identity with no one to weave a coherent whole. Thank you Dr Starkey. How fortunate that Churchill had studied Marlborough in those years.

@dorothyramser7805 Год назад

Indeed

@Cromwelldunbar Год назад

But why does he jump the short reign of James II and all that James did to punish his subjects and to re-convert the country back to Roman Catholicism via the subjection of the established Protestant Church of England post the Cromwellian period and via pseudo appeals over the head of the established Church to dissident Protestants ie those of former Cromwellian sympathies? Why no reference to the filling of the Army and other government posts including the Judiciary with Catholics to wit the infamous Judge Jeffries, the Tower of London imprisonment of seven Church of England bishops, and the cruel execution of his brother’s illegitimate son Monmouth?

@SPTO Год назад

Winston Churchill IMO was put on this earth to save civilization from the horrors of Nazi Germany spreading throughout the globe. The fact that his own family history had so many parallels to the time he was living in can't be an accident. Like any human being Churchill has his flaws but to my mind he was one of the great (and last) warrior leaders to fight the good fight against true evil.

@jmccallion2394 Год назад

One of Starkey's finest documentaries and a linkage between two world wars that nobody ever thought of linking! Well done Dr. David, More, please!

@AvidHistory Год назад

It is extremely significant that diplomats and the power elite understand that the first “World War” happened in the 17th century. When there is a true Understanding of the historical culture ( beliefs & behavior) of the European countries then the ability to avoid another war is more of a possibility. This analysis by Starkey is incredibly valuable … just as Churchill was a lone voice prior to WW2, Starkey can highlight the issues that could lead to another world war. It is so important that people learn history and it is unfortunate that history is not well taught in our education centers. History is more than dates...it is about people & culture.

@erpollock Год назад

I believe I saw David Starkey bow his head in the first row at the coronation as King Charles passed by. It is no surprise that Charles holds Starkey in such esteem (as to place him in the first row). Charles III is the first monarch with the intelligence and perspicacity to value a historian of Starkey's caliber. Oh, I have Marlborough on my shelf and haven't read it! What negligence!

@kinorspielmann4649 Год назад

It's good when Starkers sticks to history. When he gets political, that personality of his gets the better of him: emotionally infantile, obstinate, fixated, cantankerous, abusive, pugnacious, narcissistic, sanctimonious. So stick to history, Starkers, and you'll not get yourself into further trouble.

@helenel4126 Год назад

Thank you for creating this. Frankly, in the US, k -12 schools always teach history from a US-centric viewpoint; thus, the focus of The Glorious Revolution was on how James's daughter and son-in-law gave their name to the oldest college in Virginia. I've read world history since my time in the public school system, but this helps to fill in the gaps. Could I hope that you will write a book about the topic?

Dr. Starkey I see this as your best film to date. After the sting of being Canceled, and thus being free from such lazy minded people, you are more elegant. You take very complex history and organize it in a very logical, captivating way. You make me yearn to learn. (a 63 year old physician) I believe that your Best work is ahead of you, not behind. You show more energy and Spark than the past. I wish you the best and thank you Sir, for all you do ! !

Eugene of Savoy's contributions to Europe are certainly more important than Winston's relative, John. The real domination that would have swept Europe came from the Ottoman Turks, before, during and after the Siege of 1683. Prince Eugene played a large role in repelling the followers of Mohammed.

There was a bit of history that I always had a chuckle about over Louis XIV, and that was: "In 1686, Louis XIV of France (1638 - 1715) - The Sun King - developed a perianal abscess that after a series of failed treatment attempts, including with the use of a red-hot iron, developed into an anal fistula." His physician had a barber-surgeon to do the operation, and afterward, the elites surrounding him started wearing bandaged bums as a fashion, where some even requested the surgery themselves.
