In the year 490 BC, one of the most pivotal battles in world history took place. 

Just north of the City of Athens, Persian and Greek forces clashed in what was to be the first Persian attempt to invade Greece. 

Despite being seriously outnumbered, the Greeks managed to win a decisive victory that had long-lasting ramifications.

Today, approximately 160 currencies are used worldwide. Some countries share the same currency, while others use the currency of another country. 

However, not all currencies are equal. One currency always tends to become the dominant currency in international affairs, known as the global reserve currency. 

There are benefits for the country that issues the global reserve currency. However, there are also major drawbacks, and the two cannot be separated. 

Learn more about Global Reserve Currencies and the Triffin dilemma on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

All living things on the planet Earth, from microbes to whales, can be categorized into a single hierarchical system. 

This system has been developed over the last 300 years. Layers have been added, and there have been debates as to what creatures should go where.

However, it has proved an incredibly useful way to understand how all life is connected.

Learn more about the system of biological taxonomy and the tree of life on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Of all the cities that experienced the Second World War, one of the most interesting stories is that of Paris. 

Paris was not the scene of major fighting like Warsaw, which was all but destroyed. It was occupied for over four years, during which time it saw acts of resistance and collaboration. 

When the city was liberated after the invasion of Normandy, it was supposed to be destroyed, but it survived due to one man's act of disobedience. 

After liberation, the city witnessed incredible acts of reprisal and vengeance. 

Learn more about the occupation and liberation of Paris on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Historically, they have indeed been precious metals. However, they are not the only ones.

Learn more about platinum, palladium, and rhodium, the other precious metals, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

On June 22, 1941, German forces crossed into the Soviet Union. It was, and remains, the largest military operation in human history. The force that the Germans assembled for the invasion was staggering, consisting of over 3 million men.

However, the decision to go to war with the Soviets and break the alliance Germany had with them has puzzled historians for decades. 

It ultimately was an extremely costly failure that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people. 

Learn more about Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
