This is amazing if anyone hasn't seen it. Cromwell killed 25% to 33% of the irish population through, hanging, burning, or slaughter. Burning villages were found all over the midlands with women and children hanging off of trees.Then thousands others died of starvation and famine because he had burnt their crops.Thousands other sent overseas as slaves. I found the docuentary interesting because i had no idea that the most slaughter of the campaign happened under a different general, not cromwell, but his son in law, and yet we attach his name to the events.
