Crucial to this process was […]

    In 1937, American politics was gripped by President Roosevelt’s court packing plan.

    The historian Henry Adams once wrote that, “the American boy of 1854 stood nearer the year 1 than to the year 1900.” Changes during that period were indeed profound in Adam’s home town of Boston.

    Episode 142: World War I and the Hapsburg Empire

    The Hapsburg Empire was founded in 1282 (or 1526, depending on who you ask) and lasted until 1918.
