17. WWI: Battle of Sardarabad - Birth of a Nation


Listen Later

In May of 1918, after years of resistance against foreign rule dating back to ancient times, and even genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Empire, Armenia won its independence. In this episode we will explore some of Armenia's history, Russian and Ottoman politics in the Caucasus Region, and visit the battlefield of Armenia's freedom. Join us this week as we take a trip 104 years into the past and visit the once chaotic and war-torn nation of Armenia. You will even get to hear Sam say hodge-podge.
