The world of history has the potential to be a confusing place. So why not let me and my trusty band of similarly history mad friends lead you through the mists of time in a funny way. Every show is guaranteed to end up not quite where we thought it would! I'm Matt Carter and welcome to It All Ends In History.
NEW - Crossroads of Invasion
World War 1, the Revolutionary Wars, World War 2. The flat-lands of northern France and Belgium have been caught up in many of the major events of modern European history.
So, me and two of my best friends have set off to Lille to find out more, and what makes it part of the 'Crossroads of Invasion'. We are not going alone, we'll have help of experts from the likes of UCL and Oxford.
This episode will be packed of fun, facts and things you may not have thought would come up, like pigeons. Enjoy!

Trailer - Crossroads of Invasion
Coming Soon
We’re three best friends, we’ve just left college, and we are going on an adventure. No backpacking, hostels or 10 hour flights for us. We’re going on a trip to the past, and to the north of France.
There’ll be revolutions, croissants, and occasional arguments.All to find out how, why and ultimately if a decent chunk of modern European history revolved around this flat corner of Europe. Some call it the crossroads of invasion.
But, we’re not going alone, helping us are experts from the likesof UCL and Oxford.
The only issue is, I haven’t told the other two that’s our tripto Lille is more than just a holiday. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Boers, Seiges and Basílicas
Content time on the podcast this week going over to South Africa for the Boer War, looking at the roles of the three different commanders each with very different jobs to do. Before that, there's my fact of the week and another On This Day in History, all about the building of the Basílica de la Sagrada Família!
