Originally released in February of 2020, this episode covers the events that transpired at the end of June 1914 in Sarajevo, Bosnia, which sparked the fire that led to the First World War.
The final pieces are put into place to ignite the great powder keg in Europe as the threat of the first global war looms.
During a rare time of peace, European leaders begin to look elsewhere for the means to enhance their national prestige and bolster their struggling economies.
Italy takes down Austria, Prussia rips France to shreds, and Russia exacts its revenge on the Ottomans. Battle lines are being drawn.
France, Britain, and Sardinia join forces with the Ottoman Empire in facing off with Russia over dominion of the Black Sea. It gets ugly.
The roots of the World Wars lie in the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte to the throne of France, where the country would experience a meteoric rise, and equally humbling fall, as the first modern European empire.
On the first ever Live Edition of this podcast, I give an unscripted, unedited analysis of what happened at the United States Capitol Building today, on January 6th, 2021, as Congress attempted to certify the election results that now solidify Joe Biden's seat at the Resolute Desk.
