1.02 - The Portuguese Mars is the Worst Santa Claus
This week in our 2nd episode, we get right into things by looking at the development of the Portuguese Spice Trade and the expansion of European presence across the world! In under 100 years Europe went from the collapse of the last vestiges of Rome to overthrowing local leaders in previously unknown parts of the world! How did that happen, you ask? Listen here to this episode and you will learn how a dude with 5 nicknames that looks like Santa Claus was instrumental to such a change in the world's landscape, some changes which are still seen today.
Come with Q and Paul as they dive in and talk about lawnmowers, war elephants and how Columbus (yeah that one) flicked up the king that inspired Machiavelli's famous work.
We will be back each and every tuesday with brand new info, a bundle of fun things to talk about, and an ever increasing quality of recording and intro music!
Tune back in next week for the following episode of BACKROW LESSONS!!!
