@sandrhomanhistoryAbout
We want to entertain people with history which is entertaining, visually pleasing and grounded in scholarship at the same time. Our golden rules: 1) We only use academic sources and always try to stick to the consensus opinion. 2) We always list our sources in description of our videos. 3) We make clear when we deviate from the prior two rules. Education: Between the two of us we hold two Master's degrees in history from the university of Bern and one degree as a history teacher from the Bern University of Teacher Education. Both of us worked at the University of Bern as teaching assistants. We wrote an article about our experience as content creators (ed. by Dr. Kilian Baur and Robert Trautmannsberger): https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110792898-005/html We also held a few talks about our journey on YouTube at the universities of Eichstätt, Fribourg and Zürich. We taught a seminar about history on YouTube at the University of Zurich in spring of 2024.

On 19 May 1571 74 Ottoman siege guns fired a thunderous barrage at the sturdy walls of Famagu-sta, the last stronghold of the Venetian republic on the Island of Cyprus. An invasion army of almost 100’000 men, led by the experienced Lala Mustafa Pasha, had already taken the inland capital of Nicosia and by now had been camping outside Famagusta for more than eight months. The town was cut off completely and supplies began to run low, but the defenders put up a fierce fight, firing back at the Ottomans and meeting them in the trenches whenever possible. All the more, the Ot-tomans were determined to finish the job and bring the formidable fortress to its knees – and with it the whole of Cyprus.
