I'm sorry to be that guy, but the Eiffel Tower construction began in 1887.

I noticed that too, but I found it funny when they put the french for 'anachronism' up the side in the first shot. Lampshading!

Wondering how much James pulled from Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast. At least you condensed 3 seasons into 2 and a half minutes. :)

Yea, After listening to Mike Duncan's revolutions podcast. It feels a bit odd at just how abridged this is.

So basically, our own revolution here in the US over the British Empire taxing its colonies led to OTHER revolutions in the Americas because of their empires taxing their colonies... My, doth the wheel turn.

There's a collective description for 1763-1830: The Atlantic Revolutions. A domino chain of consequences all caused either directly by the Seven Years War or the events caused by it.

~0:20: "The 7 Years War was fought on every continent besides Australia. " What battles were fought in Antarctica? :P

He was married, lost his wife, made two trips to Europe and a trip to the US in the age of sail and decided to start a revolution all by age 23?! Impressive!

Eiffel Tower, really? This is just trolling right.

Now the question is whether I stop watching this to not spoil the revolutions podcast for myself :o also De Miranda needs his own episode

That's why there's "l'anachronisme" written next to it :P

Really enjoyed the introduction to the character and the outlining of the circumstances leading to bolivar finding his cause. Congratulations

We bow before his magnificent sideburns, and can only attempt to give them their due.

He doesn't get his own episode, but we're gonna see a lot of him this coming week!

I'm really glad! We all enjoyed making this series and we're glad we finally got to do a piece on South American history.
