This bonus episode follows the causes, the campaigns, the ordinary people who fought and suffered, the European powers that changed the balance, and the fragile victory that created a republic based on consent rather than blood. Discover why the war happened, how it was won against the odds, and why its lessons still shape the meaning of freedom.
