Dad Tangent - Why Do Golden Ages End? Why Peace Doesn't Last Forever
<p>Why do some peaceful and prosperous periods last for centuries while others collapse almost as soon as the ruler who created them is gone? In this Dad Tangent from History with Dad, we explore why golden ages often depend on more than just great leaders. From Augustus and the Pax Romana to Genghis Khan, Queen Victoria, and Tokugawa Japan, history shows that lasting peace usually comes down to something less exciting—but much more important: strong institutions.

S3E18 - The Viking Age - Harald Bluetooth, Edgar the Peaceful & the Fight to Build Kingdoms (955–975)
<p>Between 955 and 975, England and Scandinavia entered a new phase of the Viking Age. In England, the troubled reign of Eadwig gave way to Edgar the Peaceful, whose government, religious reforms, standardized coinage, and extraordinary ceremonies at Bath and Chester helped turn England into one of Europe’s strongest kingdoms. In Norway, Håkon the Good struggled to balance his Christian faith with the traditions of his pagan supporters before his death opened the throne to Harald Greycloak and the sons of Erik Bloodaxe. Meanwhile, Harald Bluetooth united Denmark, supported its conversion to Christianity, raised the famous Jelling Stone, and left behind enormous ring fortresses that still reveal the growing power of the Danish crown.
