  • Summary

  • 20th Century Revolutions is a weekly podcast that traces some of the most consequential revolutions, political and social, that took place across the globe during the 20th Century.

    Currently On: "Season 1: Revolutions of the Ottoman Collapse"

    As a podcast about revolutions, the narrative will naturally pick up where the great Mike Duncan left off in his wonderful Revolutions podcast. This show is similarly broken up into seasons each covering different revolutions with episodes that are around 25-40 minutes long.

    As a podcast about the 20th century, I will try to make some sense of the 20th century and how the dramatic events of these 100 years shaped our world today. One of my hopes is that the framework of political and social revolutions will allow for new understandings of the 20th century.

    If you have any suggestions for future seasons, notice any serious blunders I have made in my facts or pronunciation, or just want to say hi, please email me at twentiethcenturyrevolutions@gmail.com.

    1.17 Balkan Liberation
    Jul 10 2024

    With the help of Bulgarians, Serbs, Romanians, Montenegrins, and Greeks, the Russian imperial army would sweep through Ottoman Bulgaria, liberating town after town. But once the Russians reached the gates of Constantinople, the Great Powers (predictably) began to get a wee bit nervous.

    1.16 The Great Eastern Crisis
    Jul 2 2024

    Things weren't so looking great for the Ottomans in the summer of 1876. We've got widespread revolts, bankruptcy, public outrage across Europe, diplomatic isolation, two coups within a month, and Russia & Serbia both preparing for war. But you know, at least they got a new constitution out of it!

    1.15 Bulgarian Horrors (Bulgarian Liberation pt. 4)
    Jun 25 2024

    In the aftermath of the April Uprising, the bashi bazouks committed terrible crimes against humanity. As news of the Batak Massacre filtered back into the western presses, public outcry would spread all throughout Europe. Prominent figures such as Charles Darwin, Victor Hugo, Oscar Wilde, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Giuseppe Garibaldi will publicly support Bulgarian Liberation and call on their governments to intervene.
