    What if Hannibal had won the Battle of Zama & the Second Punic War?

    On this episode of History Undone, Fergus Macphee is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Dr Simon Elliott to discuss the culmination of the Second Punic War, which saw the Roman Republic finally defeat its nemesis: Hannibal. Before the battle, the Carthaginian general had already terrorised Rome for 15 long years on the Italian mainland, with some Romans avoiding fighting him at all costs. Step forward a young general named Scipio, who would launch an invasion of North Africa and into Carthage's homeland. What eventually took place in a town in modern day Tunisia was a seismic and decisive victory for the Romans, that finally ended Hannibal's dominance over them on the battlefield and effectively ended Carthage's place as a dominant power. So what if Hannibal had won that day? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    What if the allies had prioritised the Atlantic NOT the strategic bombing of Germany?

    On this episode of History Undone, Fergus Macphee is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry once again - this time to discuss the decision by the allies to prioritise the strategic bombing campaign of Germany, rather than the Atlantic. It had huge ramifications for D-Day and the Cold War borders, but was it the right one? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    If the Nazis had NEVER risen to power… would there still be a Second World War?

    On this edition of History Undone, Fergus Macphee is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry & Drachinifel to discuss one of the most important events in modern history: the rise of the Nazi party and it's impact on the Second World War. Whilst the fight against Hitler & fascism was at the core of the conflict, there were other reasons for many of the world's great nations to go to war. For starters, virtually none in Germany were content with the nation's new borders, drawn up after the Treaty of Versailles. So, take Hitler's rise out of the equation and what 21st Century conflict are you left with? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    What if the Enigma code had never been cracked? An entrenched Nazi-Soviet war

    On this episode of History Undone, Fergus Macphee is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Nigel Jones to discuss one the allies' biggest breakthroughs in the Second World War: cracking the Enigma code. Despite being deemed 'unbreakable', Polish mathematicians had actually solved a version in 1932 and passed this work on to the British. The work of a group based in Bletchley Park, containing one Alan Turing helped the allies read more and more decrypted messages by 1941, but just how decisive was it and what if it had never happened?

    What if the Indian Rebellion had succeeded? British OUT but a broken nation emerges

    On this episode of History Undone, Fergus Macphee is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Professor Chandrika Kaul from the University of St Andrews to discuss one of the most important events in the history of modern India and Imperial Britain: the Rebellion of 1857. Also referred to as the 'mutiny', it began on the 10 May when Sepoy soldiers rose up in the city of Meerut near Delhi. A day later they had captured Delhi, before pushing. What started with soldiers, grew to include civilians and peasants and despite the British East India Company quashing it after 18 months, the EIC was dissolved and the British crown took direct rule of the country. The rebellion has a hugely influential and lasting legacy today, but what if it had succeeded? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    What if Franco had LOST the Spanish Civil War?

    On this episode of History Undone, Fergus Macphee is joined once again by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry & Dr Klaus Schmider to discuss one of the most significant events of the 20th Century: the Spanish Civil War. It was a bloody and fiercely ideological war, that saw Francisco Franco's Nationalists control the country and would see him lead Spain until his death in 1975. Yet today we ask, what if the Republicans had won, or Franco's coup have failed? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    What if Winston Churchill had died in WW2? 'The whole picture changes'

    On this episode of History Undone, Fergus Macphee is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry & Nigel Jones to discuss the sometimes chaotic tenure of Winston Churchill during the Second World War. There periods of disquiet when he could have been ousted, assassination attempts, a near miss in the Blitz and ill health; yet he remained. So what if he had not? This is History Undone.

    What if the Nazi siege saw Leningrad fall? Moscow next & a Soviet armistice | History Undone

    On this episode of History Undone, Fergus Macphee is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry & Dr Klaus Schmider to discuss one of the most devastating blockades in history: the siege of Leningrad. It is less mythologised than Stalingrad, perhaps because of the catastrophic loss of life and genocidal implications. Yet the Nazis never pushed on with a full-scale invasion, deciding instead to bomb and literally try to starve out the city. If they had, would it have changed WWII? This is History Undone.
