In November 1884, representatives from a dozen European countries met in Berlin.

The reason for the meeting was audacious. They were going to carve up the continent of Africa between them. 

No one from Africa was in attendance at the conference, and no one was even invited. The decisions they made at this conference, and in the decades that followed, can still be felt in the world today.

Learn more about the European Scramble for Africa and how the European powers carved up a continent on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Located north of 66°33′ North latitude is the region we call the Arctic. 

The Arctic is unlike any other environment on Earth, even the Antarctic. It is sparsely populated and has unique wildlife and a biome that can’t be found anywhere else. 

It completely dark in the winter and the sun never sets in the summer…and of course, it is really cold. 

Learn more about the Arctic and what makes it so special on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

For generations, families have attended circuses. 

Circuses were a collection of animals, acrobats, clowns, and other exotic oddities. 

In an era before television and the internet, circuses were a major form of entertainment for many people. 

Over time, however, circuses have changed and evolved into something very different in the 21st century. 

Learn more about circuses, how they came about and how they changed on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The universe is billions of years old. 

If, in the future, humanity were to explore the galaxy and visit other planets around other stars, we might be visiting places where at one time, an advanced civilization once existed. 

However, if such a civilization existed, it might have been millions of years in the past. If that was the case, how would we even know that it existed? 

Also, what if we ask that same question of Earth rather than of alien worlds?

Learn more about the Silurian Hypothesis on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

We all eat every day. We use English words for the foods and meals we eat without even thinking about it. 

But where did those words come from, and what did they originally mean? What is the difference between dinner and supper? 

Were the modern distinctions we have between fruits and vegetables always there, and for that matter, was meat always meat?

Learn more about the origins of English words pertaining to food on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the mid-12th century, England was in chaos. 

The king of England, Henry I, died without an heir. The country was divided between forces loyal to his daughter, Matilda, and his nephew, Stephen. 

For almost two decades, armed conflicts resulted in a breakdown of law and order and central authority.

The Vietnam War was perhaps the most significant event that took place in the last half of the 20th century. 

It had profound impacts on the American military and foreign policy as well as on its culture. 

However, many people have a very simplistic view of the causes of the war. They assume it was just a result of Cold War politics. While that was certainly a cause, the root causes go back much further. 

Learn more about the origins of the Vietnam War and how and why it happened on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

One of the most significant figures in 16th-century Britain was Mary Stuart, aka Mary, Queen of Scots. 

Mary’s life was one of the most fascinating of the period. Depending on which historian you consult, she was a schemer, a traitor, a pawn, or a victim. According to some, she was all of these things. 

What is certain is that Mary was ultimately responsible for the union of the Scottish and British crowns and the creation of the United Kingdom that we know today.

Learn more about Mary, Queen of Scots, and her incredible story on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
