Christmas is the time of year for getting together with loved ones, celebrating, and giving gifts. 

As a song says, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.”

Nobody could possibly dislike Christmas, right?

Well, some people don’t like Christmas, and historically, some people really don’t like Christmas.

In fact, in 17th century England, they actually banned Christmas….and that did not go over well. 

Learn more about the Plum Pudding Riots and the Puritan War on Christmas on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the 19th century, the British and the Chinese went to war on two separate occasions—the reasons why they went to war are both simple and complicated. 

The more complicated reason has to do with the trade policies of the British Empire and centuries-old entrenched attitudes on the part of the Qing dynasty. 

The simple reason had to do with pushing drugs as a matter of national policy. 

Learn more about the Opium Wars, why Britain and China went to war, and how it affected the future of China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Multiple major civilizations during the Bronze Age collapsed within a generation. International trade ground to a halt, almost every major city around the Mediterranean was destroyed, and much of the world entered a dark age.

Despite its significance, this event is one of the least known and understood periods in human history.

The First World War was one of the most devastating conflicts in human history. 

When the armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, the fighting might have stopped, but the impact of the war continued. 

Today, over a century after the war concluded, it can still be felt. Not in the third or fourth-order geopolitical ramifications but in the literal ground where the people of Belgium and France live and work.

Learn more about Zone Rouge, the Iron Harvest, and the lingering effects of the First World War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Located on the island of Java in Indonesia, just 100 kilometers from the capital of Jakarta, lies what might be one of the most important archeology sites in the world. 

While it has been known to locals for centuries and to professional archeologists for over 100 years, it has only been seriously studied in the last several decades. 

Some of the estimates of the age of this site, if true, would radically transform what we know about early human civilization.
