One of the most important empires in history was the Ottoman Empire. 

It wasn’t the biggest empire, but it had an outsized impact on the world due to its strategic location and its moment in history. 

The Ottomans shocked the world by capturing the city of Constantinople and later almost conquering much of Central Europe.

Despite having a six-hundred-year run, as with all empires, it eventually weakened and collapsed.

Learn more about the Ottoman Empire, its rise and its fall, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In July 1942, Japanese forces landed on the north shore of the island of New Guinea 

Their goal was to cross the island by land and take the strategic city of Port Moresby. 

If they had been successful, the entire fate of the war in the Pacific would have altered. 

They didn’t take it, thanks to the tenacious resistance put up by Australian forces. 

Learn more about the Kokoda Track and how it turned the war in the Pacific on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Companies that sell products to the public have to follow a fine line. 

On the one hand, they need to sell stuff to make money, and the way they do that is by making a good product. 

However, if their product is too good, then people might not need to buy it again, or at least not for a long time. 

Almost 100 years ago, a consortium of industrialists plotted to make their products worse just so people would buy more of them.

At the end of the Second World War, Europe was a mess. The economies of most countries were in shambles and the threat of communism loomed over the continent. 

In a speech at Harvard University on June 5, 1947, U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall proposed a plan which could help get Europe back on its feet.
The plan is widely considered one of the most successful foreign aid programs in history.

Learn more about the Marshall Plan, how it came about, and how it worked on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

There are several rules that should be followed when going to war:

There is also one other rule that should be added to that list: Don’t count on Switzerland as an ally.

For over two centuries, Switzerland has remained staunchly neutral, even when wars were being fought just over its borders. 

Learn more about Swiss neutrality and what that means on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1953, a newspaper delivery boy in Brooklyn, New York, made an odd discovery. One of his customers gave him a nickel that seemed lighter than the others. 

When he dropped it, it popped open, exposing a small piece of microfilm. It was the bizarre beginning of the exposure and discovery of a spy ring in the United States that ultimately contributed to one of the most notable events in the entire Cold War. 

Learn more about the Hollow Nickel Case and how a random discovery led to the discovery of a spy ring on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Second World War saw the development of many new weapons. Perhaps none was more terrifying than the development of long-range strategic rockets. 

Rockets had been used in combat for centuries, dating back to their development in ancient China; however, the rockets developed by Germany were a different matter altogether. 

They terrorized civilians in England and actually served as the starting point of the space race. 

Learn more about the V1 and V2 rockets and the Nazi rocket program on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Sometime around the year 1450, a monk living just outside of Venice created one of the greatest maps of the medieval world. 

It was an enormous map, even by modern standards, and it had a level of detail that had never been seen before. 

It took years to make and was a major advancement in cartography. 

Perhaps most importantly, it contained many details that no one had yet verified firsthand. 

Learn more about the Fra Mauro map, how it was created, and its significance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Located in Central Java, outside of the modern city of Yogyakarta, lies the world’s largest Buddhist temple, Borobudur. 

Borobudur doesn’t get as much attention as other great monuments in the world, but it should certainly be included among them. 

Unlike other great monuments, Borobudur has a distinction that no other monument has. It disappeared, quite literally, for several centuries. 

Learn more about Borobudur, its history, and its significance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
