Welcome to yet another episode of It All Ends In History. No Anita this week, but we are following her idea of carrying on with Mussolini's rise to power, now looking at how he went from being PM to being dictator. Before that, there's my fact of the week all about the first town to get (and then get rid of) electric street lights, and what a busy day in history it was on this day!

It's time for the first episode of the year, and unfortunately it's time to get more serious because exams are not all that far away. So, we're back to exam content, starting with Mussolini's rise to being the Italian PM. In this episode, we look at the roles played by all sorts of people in making Mussolini the PM. But, that's not before my fact of the week all about the Orient Express and On This Day In History is brought to us this week by Hazel.

So, it is almost the end of the year and it's the final episode of It All Ends In History. This week, we each choose the most interesting historical event we've learnt about this year and have a chat about it. There's the Titanic, Jack the Ripper and the story of Emma of Norwich - but which one is whose favourite? I think you'll have to listen to find out. Oh, and a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

I think the title says it all about this week's episode of It All Ends In History. We set out to talk about a Victorian Christmas and all their festive innovations that make our modern celebrations. Then it's off to our own experiences of the nativity and even the eternal question of whether Die Hard is a Christmas film. Spoiler alert: it's not.

This week on It All Ends In History, we're taking a look at the ghost of Christmas past, looking at the festivals and feasts that came before what we know as Christmas today. There's plenty of Roman gods, Greek gods et cetera et cetera (Hazel likes the classics!) and a particular focus on food too. That's all after my fact of the week all about the day with no news.

This week, we discuss life in Nelson's Royal Navy and the qualities that made him a brilliant leader out on the water. There is also a sidebar on how impactful the French Wars were on the economy in Britain, and we take a look at how the state started to shift away from local control. That's all after my fact of the week all about the history of ketchup! Enjoy.

In this weeks gander into the past, Hazel joins us as we go to Nazi Germany to look at how the past shaped Hitler's ideology and, in particular, foreign policy. There's also the fact of the week, all about the first dictionary!

An expected selection of historical topics this week, starting with my fact of the week and a touch on revolution in On This Day. The heart of the matter is constitutions. Are they always written? Did the USSR have one? What did they look like in Germany? Listen to find out the answers to some of these questions!

The first of our new discussion format, the way ahead for it all ends in history, as you can tell we veered off topic!

Thanks to Anita and Ali for getting involved.

(P.S sorry for the background noise, it really was windy!)

Hello there,

Matt here. I'd just like to let you know there's no episode this, well sort of. You see I'm trying out a new discussion style show, recording the first one on Thursday.

If it all goes swimmingly, you'll be the first to hear it.

See you later.
