For more than 5 years and six seasons, the show has delighted us the lives of the Crawley family in the post-Edwardian era. With events depicting the Titanic, The First World War, Spanish Influenza and Beer Hall Putsch throughout the series, we are also watching the historical events while going through the Crawley family’s lives.
