#OnThisDay 1914 Britain declared war on Germany after they invaded Belgium the day previous, plunging Europe & indeed the world into war. Over the course of the First World War, around 205,000 Irishmen would fight & about 40,000 men from Ireland would die.

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
