A conflict breaks out between a newly independent Mexico and a newly back-to-having-kings France. It culminates in a small series of armed incursions and blockades in 1838-39. Did it start because of an aggrieved French baker? Did Napoleon’s armies advance the science of military optics because their commander wanted to look at feet? In this episode (the first one where Nate has researched, written, and hosted), we get to the bottom of the semi-apocryphal Pastry War.

A Moluccan terror group took over a train in the Netherlands, leading to the longest train hijacking in history. It only ends when Dutch Commandos launch one of the worst rescue operations in European history.
