In this gripping episode of On the Wrong Side of History, host Danny takes you on a journey through five catastrophic moments that shaped our world: the Bay of Pigs invasion, McCarthyism, the Partition of India, the Rwanda Genocide, and the Great Leap Forward. Discover how fear, overconfidence, and misjudgments led to disasters that still echo in today’s geopolitical landscape.

Through educational storytelling, we explore the factors behind these failures, the human cost, and the lessons they teach us about power, ambition, and responsibility.
