Actually, while watching the series, I was doing research. They're pretty spot on with what happened. The only thing is inflated female roles in the story and the love interests to dramatise it. Otherwise they've covered the story well.

I've just never taken the time to look into the details of that event in history, until now.

But history is like that. It's a huge jigsaw puzzle; you can only put it together piece by piece.
