A Quick History of Amsterdam

Here's a quick zip through the almost 800 years of Amsterdam's history. I always do a short history summary at the start of my walking tours and have missed giving these during the corona lockdown. I decided to make a film of the summary and it ended up doubling in length. Here it is, I hope you enjoy it!
