It was a golden age of British culture, wealth, literature, science, and technology for the middle and upper classes. Compared to previous eras, more wealth had spread around and upward mobility was never easier. The empire was at its height, the world was smaller than ever before thanks to steamships and trains. Archeology was born. People started to believe in preserving our patrimony. While the beginning of the Victorian age was filthy, it was during that same Victorian age that London developed a new sewer system that’s still in use today. It was in the Victorian era that epidemiology was born to control cholera, smallpox vaccines were developed, and running water brought to the masses. Now, if you were working class or a child, life sucked. If you thought about the environment, it was awful (as it was in every industrialized nation). But on the whole, Britain was at its zenith.

Video suggestion: This year marked the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal. In a single day, the longest standing dictatorship in Europe ended, democracy was established by a military coup were soldiers brought flowers in the barrels of their guns to show that they wanted no violence. In this day, the colonial war that raveged for 14 years ended, and a year after Guine Bissau, Cape Verde, Sao Tome and Princepe, Angola, Mozambique and East Timor emerged as independent countries. Since it is a special anniversary, I would very much like to propose it to Extra History to do a video it. I propose you research the POV of captain Salgueiro Maia and his accomplishments. I'm sure you'll not be disappointed =)

even if it sounds ridicolous because it's not something usual to see, compared to the (fake) seriousness of adults, I found the image of two cursing each other pretty violent.

As someone who was part of a youth group with the Freemasons and extensive study of Wicca and witchcraft, this video cracks me up because you can see the pathway of certain religious movements. Also the wildest thing I know about Crowley is that he held a super secret ritual in the pyramids at Giza. The dude was wild and the people I have met who follow his teaching are also kind of wild 😅
