The months of the year are named after Roman god, and some are named after their placement in the year. However, the first month to be named after an actual person was the month of July, which was named after Julius Caesar. 

What is surprising isn’t that the name of the month has stuck for over 2000 years, it's that more rulers didn’t try to name months of the year after themselves. 

Many more rulers would have done this if they had answered their subjects’ questions.

Marcus Licinius Crassus was the richest man in the Roman Republic. 

His wealth bought him power and influence, but it couldn’t buy him everything. His massive wealth couldn’t give him the respect and authority that came from victory on the battlefield. 

His desperate attempt to achieve this glory led to his spectacular demise and ultimately the fall of the Roman Republic. 

Learn more about Crassus and his stunning rise and fall on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the 19th century, New York City was one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. 

However, it was still a very young city, and as such, the city’s leaders were able to take a step back and plan what exactly they wanted the future of the city to be. 

What they decided was that the city needed a park. Not just any park, but a great park that took up an enormous part of Manhattan Island. 

Learn more about Central Park and how it became one of the world’s greatest parks on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Most of you might be aware of the sinking of the Titanic or the Lusitania, yet you’ll have never heard of the MV Wilhelm Gustloff. 

With a death toll 4 to 6 times worse than the Titanic, the maritime disaster has been all but forgotten today. Why has history forgotten about the world’s greatest maritime disaster?

Learn more about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff, why it happened, and why it has been forgotten by history in this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For many of you listening to the sound of my voice right now, the audio originated from a digital file that was transported across the globe at the speed of light on fiber-optic cables. 

The fiber optic cables, which crisscross the oceans, create a network that unites the entire globe. Almost all the telephone calls, text messages, web pages, streaming videos, and podcasts that travel around the world do so through undersea fiber optic cables. 

Without these cables, our modern world would be very different, and many of you wouldn’t be listening to me right now.

Learn more about undersea fiber optic cables and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Located in the heart of West Africa is the nation of Ghana.

Ghana is a medium-sized country in terms of both population and area, but for West Africa, it has multiple distinctions and firsts which set it apart from the rest of the region. 

Its course since independence has taken it down a path that in some ways has been very similar to other African countries, and in other ways very different. 

Learn more about Ghana and what makes it unique on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

There are many lessons we are supposed to know in life:  pick up after yourself, never bet against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and most importantly, don’t invade Russia in the winter. 

Known as one of the greatest military disasters in history, Napoleon’s invasion of Russia is often cited as a key factor in the emperor's eventual defeat. 

Although the campaign actually started in June, the brutal impact of General Winter led to the devastation of the French army and ultimately contributed to the downfall of one of the greatest generals in history. 

Learn more about Napoleon’s Invasion of Russia and the devastation of the French Army on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

All sports are governed by a body of rules. Within those rules, there is usually a set of norms for how the game should be played. Most coaches will instruct their players to use similar techniques.

However, every so often, someone comes along who totally rethinks how a game can be played.  Using the same set of rules, they come up with a totally different approach to the game, which sometimes can be revolutionary. 

Other times, it's simply evolutionary.

Learn more about innovative sports strategies and how taking a different approach to a game can lead to positive results on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In late May and early June of 1917, the French Army faced what could have been an extensive crisis. 

After three years of some of the most brutal conflict that the world had ever seen, many soldiers had had enough. 

Thousands of troops refused to obey orders and refused to go along with the suicidal attacks that were the hallmark of trench warfare. 

In response, the French turned to one of their greatest heroes to solve the problem.

Learn more about the French Army Mutinies of 1917 on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
