Hanging with History

De: Harald Hansen
  • Resumen

  • The first season focuses on the origins of the Industrial Revolution or the Great Enrichment, we go deep into history to gain enough background knowledge to actually understand the various theories of the origins of the Great Enrichment. Eventually we learn that we also need to know how the miracle was consolidated, as the many other close approaches to the Industrial Revolution failed.A kwirky style, but intellectually ambitious with the goal of understanding history well enough to understand the miracle that happened that one time. It's gonna be a long series.

    1794 from the Pyrenees fronts, with massacres of Basque villagers to the Battle of the Black Mountain.
    The Italian front has Napoleon, as a mere artillery general, plan a maneuver to get the Piedmontese out of their Alpine fortifications, Massena executes it successfully.
    The Rhine front sees the French struggle with the river crossing and when they do cross the Austrians defeat them.
    This year reveals the way the Revolution destroyed the human capital of the Royal French Army, and how it improved subsequently. The artillery lost the least, the infantry was getting better after the massive recruitment in the Levee En Masse, the cavalry though, still had a ways to go.

    The focus is on Nelson's great victory, but we also cover the Battle of the Pyramids, the Siege of Acre and the Battle of Mount Tabor.

    The strategic choice of Egypt as a way to defeat Britain, may sound crazy, but we go into French thinking. This is Napoleon's and Tallyrand's best thinking on the subject. It may not be that hopeful, whole lotta steps involved, but it's te best they got.

  • Global War on the Far Side of the World

    This covers most of the colonial wars with the French and Dutch during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

    You get a cumulative effect of seemingly slow British progress, that in the end removes all French influence overseas by 1811. Then, problems with the Americans predominate.

    There is a good deal of discussion about Elphinstone's campaign to take Capetown and the Battle at Saldana Bay.
