10. Prelude to the First World War
When we think of the First World War, we think of a single moment: a gunshot in Sarajevo in the summer of 1914. We're taught that a complex system of alliances, a surge in nationalism, and an imperial arms race created a powder keg that was simply waiting for a spark. But what if that’s only the final chapter of a much, much older story? What if the real roots of the Great War aren’t found in the 20th century, or even the 19th, but are buried centuries deeper in the soil of European history?<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

9. Historiography
We tend to think of history as a settled collection of facts—a timeline of events that happened in a specific way. But is it really that simple? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the historian's craft to explore the fascinating and often-debated field of <strong>historiography</strong>: the study of how history is written. Join us as we investigate how the story of the past is constructed. We'll discuss how was told and what it was used for. This episode is for anyone who wants to move beyond simply knowing what happened to understanding why we're told it happened in a certain way. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
