The goal of this channel is to look at parts of history that are awkward and try and put them into larger context. It's not about heroes or villains, but about asking what actually happened and why.

If you watch the videos and find yourself wanting to take a deeper dive into any of the topic, or even to fact check me, mission accomplished.
