    Parting the Desert Between Two Seas

    April 25, 1859. About 150 people have gathered on the shores of Lake Manzala in Egypt. And one of them, a mustachioed, retired French diplomat, steps forward. He raises his pickaxe and strikes a ceremonial blow. The audacious goal is to cut through the desert to connect the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea, creating a new trade route between the East and the West. Changing global trade and geopolitics forever. Today: the Suez Canal. Why did the tremendous efforts of a Frenchman end up enriching the British Empire? And how, decades later, did the canal play an unexpected role in the birth of modern Egypt? ​​Thank you to our guests, Ibrahim El-Houdaiby and Professor Aaron Jakes, for speaking with us for this episode. Thank you also to Dr. Bella Galil for talking with us. If you want to read more about the Suez Canal, Zachary Karabell's Parting the Desert: The Creation of the Suez Canal is a great resource.  ** This episode originally aired April 25, 2022.

    Bloody Mary

    In 1553, Mary Tudor became the first woman to sit on the English throne - a reign of just five years, that history has remembered almost exclusively through the lens of her enemies. But today, we revisit the story of "Bloody Mary" to ask: was she really a ruthless tyrant? Joining us is Professor Kate Williams, a historian and broadcaster who specialises in Royal history. She unpacks Mary's life from start to finish and reveals the real Mary Tudor. Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Matthew Wilson. We need your help!

    Être banni de la cité grecque [3/3], avec Christel Müller

    Faites un don et recevez un cadeau : http://don.storiavoce.com/ Dans les cités grecques, la citoyenneté ne se réduit pas à un statut acquis une fois pour toutes : elle suppose le maintien d’une timè, c’est-à-dire d’un honneur civique qui fonde la pleine participation à la vie politique. À l’inverse, sa perte — l’atimia — marque une forme de déchéance, à la fois morale et juridique, qui peut priver le citoyen de tout ou partie de ses droits. À travers les normes de conduite attendues, les sanctions encourues et les mécanismes d’exclusion ou de réintégration, se dessine une citoyenneté exigeante, étroitement surveillée par la cité elle-même. L'invitée : Christel Müller est professeure d’histoire grecque à l’université Paris Nanterre et membre senior de l’Institut universitaire de France. Spécialiste de la citoyenneté et des sociétés grecques, elle a récemment publié La fabrique du citoyen. Les Grecs et la politeia d’Aristote à Auguste. *** Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/HistoireEtCivilisationsMag Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/histoireetcivilisations/ Twitter : https://twitter.com/Storiavoce Hébergé par Acast.

    Rwandan Genocide

    For hundreds of years, Rwanda’s Hutu and Tutsi groups had lived in relative harmony. But the arrival of European colonists enforced and exaggerated the differences between them, until, from the mid-twentieth century, resentment began to boil over. By 1994, the two groups were sworn enemies. Over 100 days, violence engulfed the country, as members of the Hutu majority worked systematically to exterminate the Tutsi. Spurred on by government and military officials, neighbour turned against neighbour, friend against friend, until hundreds of thousands lay dead.   But what precipitated this senseless mass killing? Why were so many ordinary people willing to participate? And what responsibility does the international community bear for the bloodshed? This is a Short History Of the Rwandan Genocide. A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins. With thanks to Allan C. Stam, Professor of Public Policy and Politics at the University of Virginia.

    245: Yugoslavia Pt. 1 - Belgrade's Impossible Position

    In this episode of “History of the Second World War,” we explore Yugoslavia’s precarious position in the early years of WWII — a newly formed nation straddling ethnic diversity and geopolitical tension, created after WWI from the remnants of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires. As Germany surged into Poland and Italy sought to expand its influence in the Balkans, Yugoslavia found itself caught between competing powers: diplomatically aligned with France but economically entangled with Nazi Germany through vital resource trade. When Italy’s ill-fated invasion of Greece forced it to seek transit routes through Yugoslav territory — a move the neutral country refused — tensions escalated rapidly. This episode sets the stage for how Yugoslavia, despite its best efforts at neutrality, would soon become a focal point in Hitler’s broader Balkan strategy, setting the stage for one of WWII’s most dramatic and consequential invasions.
