Wwi part two: stalemate and the futility of the war Random history

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war and 1870 and the overall futility that was fighting in the trenches the large casualties caused by new weapons and outdated tactics clashing.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.
