In all seriousness though, some thoughts, a brief 🪡
1) I was lucky to have such excellent history teachers at school AND that I was offered + took "European history" A-level at my normal British comprehensive because I reckon most people would be completely lost, almost studied history at uni + this series reminds me why.

Listening to a historian from outside tell our story brings it home like never before firstly just how much has been shed here and how necessary the as a project is, but also, how the EU has been foreshadowed.

Anyway.. it's an excellent series. Highly recommended and stor tak 🙏 til @anderspuck for the recommendation.

And there is a hell of a lot "we" in western Europe have either forgotten or never learned.
