The cast of characters of this period is fascinating, ranging from the Jacobites--The Old Pretender (see below) and Bonnie Prince Charlie (the Young Pretender)--to the parlimentary giants (Charles James Fox, Edmund Burke, and William Pitt the Younger) of the end of the century.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]152673.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]152669.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Thirdly, I want to learn about the Italian reunification (Il risorgimento) of the 1800s from 1815 to 1871.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]152672.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]152671.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone else?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, hopefully we will all have a Healthy and Happy 2012. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
