    Battle for North America - 1759 by Dan Snow

    British Victory in the French-Indian theatre of the Seven Years War.
    A very well made and presented documentary focussing on General Wolfes victory over the French at the Battle of Quebec in 1759.

    well, here is documentary "The singing revolution" trailer. movie itself was screened in 2007 and it talks about Estonia in 20th century, especially during events in late 80-s, that resulted regaining independence.

    and movie co-director speaking about movie:

    you can see full movie in here: http://veehd.com/video/4544751_The-S...6-Musidocs-com
    you can also check other links from here: http://www.letmewatchthis.ch/watch-7...ing-Revolution

    The history channel series "Barbarians" did a very nice and comprehensive job . One of the better ones and anybody interested in the late Roman Empire should watch as well.

    I found this one , I think it is about East Romans. I'm not really sure what time period it is supposed to depict. It's a Romanian movie and I don't speak Romanian. Perhaps someone can fill in the blanks? Who ? Where ? When? Historical? Uniforms correct?

    It's got awesome scenes of an army on the move , for example 48:47 up to 53:20 are pretty stunning , and 1:05 is a sight to behold! That 's a lot of actors!
    Mad props for those stuntmen for their horsemanship and horsemanfalling skills.

    Very interesting! Perhaps Eastern Romans versus Bulgarians or Pechenegs?
    Under the patronage of Emperor Maximinus Thrax
    "Steps to be taken in case Russia should be forced out of war considered. Various movements [of ] troops to and from different fronts necessary to meeting possible contingencies discussed. Conference also weighed political, economic, and moral effect both upon Central and Allied powers under most unfavorable aspect from Allied point of view. General conclusions reached were necessity for adoption of purely defensive attitude on all secondary fronts and withdrawing surplus troops for duty on western front. By thus strengthening western front [those attending] believed Allies could hold until American forces arrive in numbers sufficient to gain ascendancy."

    Actually the english version of the movie is called "The glory of the Khan"...It's about a roman invasion bulgaria during the first years of the existence of the medieval bulgarian kingdom.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/681_AD:_The_Glory_of_Khan

    I think the Bulgarian army sent about 100,000 soldiers as "actors" for the roman army.
    You can watch the english version full on youtube.
    Here's my favorite part,especially the general's speech at the start.


    Search for part one if you want to see the whole of it.

    More like 50 000, as far as I know. In any case - one of the good sides of a communist regime.
    Anyway, I had recently posted those three movies ("Han Asparuh" is originally a trilogy, while the Warner Bros version ("681 - Glory of the khan") is horribly shortened, consisting almost only of the third movie) in another thread, but I'll repost them here as well:
    Han Asparuh I - Phanagoria
    Han Asparuh II - The migration
    Han Asparuh III - A land forever

    In addition, there's this movie about Tsar Kaloyan (1197-1207) from the 60s:
    Kaloyan

    All of them have English subtitles (press CC if they don't load). Of course, it should be noted they're just movies, old ones at that, and thus have a number of historical inaccuracies, bigger or smaller. The very name of the first Asparuh movie, f.e. - Phanagoria, considered to be the Bulgar capital at the time, although the historical sources simply mention that Bulgaria starts after Phanagoria, in which Jews live.

    Edit: Actually, for quicker viewing of the battle scenes from Han Asparuh, you can also use my old playlist here - it has English "subtitles" (formed as annotations, since there wasn't a subtitles option in YT then) as well.

    This is good series on American history. It's not as comprehensive as an AP textbook, but it's well-presented, informative, and sometimes includes round table discussions. Transcripts of the videos are also available.

    This is an interesting thread. I have to wonder if there is an easier way to do this.... the forum just seem like a good format. Perhaps a list of all the current videos with links to them would be better.


    I got kick out of the statement above,... As an AP teacher, I would never consider an AP textbook "comprehensive."
