    Control, Consent and Nit Combs

    This week on It All Ends in History, we take a look at how the people were controlled by the Italian Fascist state and whether it was the potential rewards people could get from the state that mostly kept them on side. Before that, my fact of the week tells us all about Ancient Roman nit combs and there is our usual on this day in history. Presented by: Matthew CarterHazel HammondAli AldousAnita Mancini

    Hovercraft, Foreign Policy and Elba

    Local history in the Fact of the Week, all about Somerleyton and the hovercraft. Also, lots of fun from Ali's On This Day In History where me and Anita forget that Napoleon didn't in fact escape from his island exile the second time! After all this, it's down to business, and to the all important Nazi foreign policy question, where we look at 2018's source and Anita gives us all some helpful tips.

    Sources, Mussolini and Pastries

    A deep dive into source skills this week, looking at two sources from 2020's paper all about why Mussolini fell from grace in 1943. Why don't you get up the sources and then you can follow along. Before that though, I look at the history of the pain au chocolat and the two competing origin stories. Presented by: Matthew CarterAli AldousHazel HammondAnita Mancini

    Democracy, Crashes and Old Words

    A look this week at all the different factors that contributed to the collapse of the Wiemar government, all through the prism of an essay question, with some top tips from Anita! It does take quite some time to get to that though, because the fact of the week about Concorde somehow devolves into a chat about the old words of English. It makes me wamblecropt just thinking about it. Presented by: Matthew CarterAli AldousAnita Mancini

    Lights, Hills and Matteotti

    Welcome to yet another episode of It All Ends In History. No Anita this week, but we are following her idea of carrying on with Mussolini's rise to power, now looking at how he went from being PM to being dictator. Before that, there's my fact of the week all about the first town to get (and then get rid of) electric street lights, and what a busy day in history it was on this day!

    Marches, Carriages and Rock n' Roll

    It's time for the first episode of the year, and unfortunately it's time to get more serious because exams are not all that far away. So, we're back to exam content, starting with Mussolini's rise to being the Italian PM. In this episode, we look at the roles played by all sorts of people in making Mussolini the PM. But, that's not before my fact of the week all about the Orient Express and On This Day In History is brought to us this week by Hazel.
