Random history Maverick Fenstermacher

New addition to the podcast COLLIN! In this episode we dive into the history of linear warfare.

The first episode of the new and improved random history we talk about the Cold War.

So, it has been a very long hiatus and I’d love to get back into the podcast game. Gone are the days where random history was just me randomly blabbering into the microphone about some historical topic, WE HAVE A COHOST! Some time next week me and a friend will up the old podcast by bringing in a partner dynamic and true to its name unless a previously specified series is in the works each episode will be on a new randomly selected topic picked at the end of each episode.

In this episode I talk about the life of the soldiers on both sides in the u-boat war the trenches and in the air war.

In this episode I talk about the differences between the civil war and 1870 and the overall futility that was fighting in the trenches the large casualties caused by new weapons and outdated tactics clashing. I also go on a rather lengthy discussion about how bad the American education system covers these topics in relation to the eastern front and our innate America to the rescue narrative through the curriculum and how that’s sized in relation to wwi and ii.

A century after the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte Europe is about to be thrown into another continental war, “if a war is to happen it will come from some damned thing in the Balkons” Otto von Bismarck. The battle of the Marne brings trenches and stalemate.
