Pan Historia, and Other Nonsense

Pan Historia is a show dedicated to teaching all matters of history, from the Crusades, to the political career of Huey Long. Our mission is to Make History Relevant Again, believing by teaching about our past, we can learn more about our present and our future. Other Nonsense is our companion series, where we shed off the constraints of Pan Historia, and are free to discuss anything that is on our minds, unscripted.

    Welcome to Hell: The Wars in Chechnya

    Trigger Warning: Discussions of graphic violence and use of battle sounds.  A message written in red spray paint is sprawled across a collapsed wall. It reads: “Welcome to Hell, Part II.” An ominous message to the Russian forces returning to the remains of Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. When the Soviet Union came to an end, Russia struggled to stabilize itself. Internal strife was brewing, and with all the former Soviet states having managed to obtain independence, several others hoped their time had come as well. Chechnya was by far the most vocal. A region with people who were forced into the Russian fold during the time of the Tsars. Having their language, Islamic religion, and unique culture repressed at every turn, they had enough of living under the Russian boot. Thus, they did what so many others had done in that time: they declared independence. However, Russia had no desire to give up the resource-rich region of the Northern Caucasus, and new president Boris Yeltsin was keen to prove himself a strong leader.   But the war did not end in his favour, nor really did it end well for the Chechens. The Russian government became filled with oligarchs hungry for power, and Chechnya found itself in ruins. New Chechen leaders would rise, ones who were either just as power hungry as their Russian adversaries or clouded by religious extremism. In the end, the wars in Chechnya would bring literal hell to the civilians who lived their, caught between the Russian Bear and Chechen Wolf.

    The Devil We Came to Know: Rise of Saddam Hussein, Iran-Iraq War, and the Persian Gulf War

    A lone figure fled across the Syrian desert in a bid to escape his potential fate. Days earlier, he attempted to assassinate the President of Iraq, the man who stood in the way of the Ba'athist Movement from taking power for themselves. Despite inflicting some damage on him, they failed to kill him. Now, the would-be assassin was en route to the safety of Egypt. The harsh environment burned him during the day, and blew harsh cold at night. While his current situation seemed hopeless, this man is the future dictator of Iraq. Saddam Hussein would become a household name worldwide. To some, he would become the face of Arab unity and anti-imperialism. To others, he was a tyrant and murdered. Despite improving Iraq's infrastructure and welfare, he wasn't afraid to order the use of military force and even chemical weapons against any domestic dissent. His notoriety would place him directly in the sights of the United States. Their excuse to intervene against him came in August 1990, when Saddam ordered the invasion of the small country of Kuwait to the south. The storm brewing over the desert for decades finally reached its peak. Music: Desert Combat Loading Theme Clips: H. W. Bush on Policing the World: Opposing Iraqi Aggression by The American Experience "This Aggression will not stand, man!" The Big Lebowski Margaret Thatcher on the Gulf War, Aspen, 1990
