Hey guys. My biggest project yet! I enjoy doing these deep dives every once in awhile and I lowkey forgot why I did this video but I think it is important to remember these historical events. For me, it was a lot of first time discovery. I was not a history person at all when I was younger, but I'm enjoying delving into it more now as an adult.
Here is a diverse list of some of my resources I sourced, hope I can help someone with their homework HAHA. If anyone wants access to my google drive essay for reading idk, do people care? lmk in the comments and I'll make it public ig.
