The Extra History Suggestion Survey is OPEN until 4/27
Added 2022-04-20 15:01:02 +0000 UTCHello, You Amazing Patreon Members!
Our next theme is Freedom Fighters! Any topics you can think of that have fighters taking part in a struggle to achieve a political goal, especially to overthrow their government, can be suggested.
You can enter YOUR suggestions for a topic HERE in this form.
Some notes about suggestions:
- If a suggestion we encounter only has enough research material/production scope for a one-off episode instead of a full series, we file it in a separate list to reference later when we are planning to schedule a one-off episode between series (this is true for every survey we do).
- Only one suggestion per person, please! Multiple suggestions from the same person during any given survey period will be manually removed. Extra History Suggestion Survey is OPEN until 4/27
Comments
So summarizing the suggestions in the comments, we have -- (A) two suggestions fighting Russian/Soviet conquest (Poland and the Baltics); (B) a couple of suggestions on the Irish War of Independence (from Britain); (C) the start of the Phillipine Independence (from Spain) movement; (D) Mexico's fight against the French Invasion; and (E) a couple suggestions connecting to the Greek War of Independence (from the Ottomans). (As to Samori Toure or The Franklin Expedition -- not entirely sure their on theme.) Now that suggestions are closed, what do you guys want to see on the poll? (Personally, if these were the suggestions I was working with, I'd seriously consider having five options instead of four this time around.)

2022-04-21 23:28:44 +0000 UTCThe Mexican struggle against the 1860s French intervention (source of the French Foreign Legion’s legacy of never surrendering or leaving their fallen behind, and the TRUE origin of the Mexican Cinco de Mayo festival)
The Rogue Chief
2022-04-21 15:38:14 +0000 UTCI submitted La Solidaridad and the formation of Katipuneros. How an editorial from Spain, and a bunch of novels reminded filipinos of their lost identity that sparked a revolution against Spain's colonization. The aftermath of all these events are part of Treaty of Paris. It'll be interesting to enter that part of history from a point of view of a small, upcoming country.
Vincent Cruz
2022-04-21 15:14:48 +0000 UTCI suggested the Forest Brothers, which were partisans in the Baltic states that fought against the Soviet Union during the 1940s and the 1950s.

2022-04-21 01:59:52 +0000 UTCI decided to go with the Irish War of Independence. I think the conflict's unconventional nature and the politics behind it could be of interest. There's also the obvious tie-in to the series on the Potato Famine.
General Luigi
2022-04-21 01:29:04 +0000 UTCI suggested "Poland and the Revolution" (1788 to 1830) -- short story, it's the Polish* perspepctive on the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic period.
