WATCH History edition 8

We are, perhaps following the American example, quickly inclined to think in terms of good and evil. But is that correct in this case? If you ignore the heroic image from books, films and series and look at the facts, it becomes clear that the now so venerated Founding Fathers and their followers did not have such clean hands at all. And that the 'freedom' that the founding fathers of the US strived for is also open to criticism. In short, it is high time to reflect on the dark side of the American Revolution.

But of course we cover many more fascinating historical topics in this edition of KIJK History. From Marie Curie, grande dame of science, to the first woman to circumnavigate the world - dressed as a man.
