so to clarify, the Irish Question relates to whether or not the 6 ulster counties should be in the UK or the Irish Free State (in modern day, the Republic of Ireland), Michael was accused of meeting with the UVF, a pro-British fraction within Northern Ireland, a terrorist group. And again, Mosely is the most famous British fascist, they had 10s of thousands of members but were never a real threat to power (unless of course, Hitler invaded in 1940/41).

Zak

Friends of the New Germany, founded in 1933 (year hitler took power) in New York, had around 5-10k members at its peak. Also worth saying Italian Americans (not all but many) supported fascism after Mussolini came to power in 1922.

Wes, my friend ... I was screaming during the "peace in our times" bit, it was said by Nevile Chamberlin, prime minister of the UK in 1938. I actually think you might be interested in a history podcast called Rest is History, done lots of WW1, WW2, rise of nazism, President Lincoln etc

Zak

I learned about the interwar years (because I did A-level history, it was not focused on in the standard GCSE curriculum), yes communism and fascism was big but never a huge threat, neither side really had more than 50k supporters at their peak and most people preferred the mainstream parties. sorry for comment bombing

What i think are they doing very good, is to showcase how powerful the shelbys got. Tommy does not take SHIT from any police or anything he can do whatever he wants💀

Mr. Mosley is a historical figure. I wouldn't look him up in case of spoilers but his history is very interesting.

Mosley was a scumbag and i cant believe his family is still around tbh.

facism was on the rise during this time in the uk, luckily we quashed it fast

I think the communists always had a lot more soft power, tacit or hushed support from people that agreed but weren't committed enough to go the full way. The fascists on the other hand were a smaller movement, but better organised in bringing in anyone who agreed

11:04 that's how asian parents look at their kid when they show them an A instead of an A+, lol Tommy looks so done

The Grace breaths in season 5 is elite sound design

The politician who said "peace in our times" (appeasement) was British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Funny how history is repeating itself today with Putin and how people want to give him Ukraine for "peace".

Being American, I knew nothing about Mosley and his movement😯, and it made this my second favorite season.

American President Woodrow Wilson is most famous for failing with his plan to stop future wars with the League of Nations (The forerunner of the UN)

From Rome to WW2 to why female horses are used in movies😆 to Anime to Korean dramas, Wes is The Renaissance Man of Reactions/Reviews 😂🙌

Zak

I'd agree with that. Socialism was on the up as shown by the election of two labour governments (minority but still), showing a move leftwards.

On why I think they killed the son and not thr father is cuz who'd would you rather come for you? An old drunk with a limp? Or a young, skilled fighter? Gold might work harder to get revenge, but he's got a shorter lifespan and a lot less testosterone fueled power by comparison

Facismm in the uk was talked about a lot in my history class (in the uk) and we learnt a lot more in depth about what the uk and Europe was like after the war, between the wars, parliament etc. but I don’t remember learning much about the US apart from when the US joined the war and when the stock market crashed. So I think most countries will be the same. Learn a lot about your own country and continent but less about the rest apart from main key factors like the world wars etc

As a whiskey nerd, implying irish was more complex than scotch felt like a line that could only be written by someone who either really knows their stuff or hasn't got a clue. Historically, around this time I think Ireland was still making pot still whiskey which does have more depth than the more cheaply made column still whiskey used to make most scotch at the time (and most whiskey today), and this was around the time campbletown which was known for cheaper production alcohol was falling into decline. If the writers knew that and threw it in to colour the time period then hats off, but my gut is it was some kind of foreshadowing that I missed when I watched. If it's based on modern whiskey, you wouldn't say irish is more complex than scotch, by all means you can prefer it, but Irish whiskey got simiplified massively when Middleton was making everyones spirits (similar to MGP, Heaven Hill and Buffallo Trace in america today), though irish is bouncing back. Regarding the interwar period stuff, yeah there major polarising factions rising up in the UK around this time, with Mosley being particularly infamous, but I don't think I learned about the political stuff until A-Level, GCSE I think it was more breakup of the british empire, great depression, prohibition i think, post-war Germany and MAYBE feminism but I think that was also A-level and of course the rise of hitler. I am a bit murky on what was secondary school (11 to 16) and what was A Level (16-18), I only did 3 months of history A Level and it was all british interwar period.
