In this episode, Sean Hazlett and Daniel Bensen discuss the complex world of European diplomacy from the Franco-Prussian war of the early 1870's until the start of World War I. Amongst other scenarios, we'll discuss what the implications of France winning the Franco-Prussian war would have been-as well as Germany (and Europe) without Bismarck. Later on, we'll ponder a scenario where Russia is victorious in their war with Japan-and could world war I have been prevented even after June 1914? Plus in the Feedback Hub, AH author Carlos Arturo Serrano talks about his novel, 'To Climates Unknown', depicting a world without the Mayflower-and minus the American idea.
