Trapped in History

Robie Malcomson

The goal is to share my educational journey with others and to gain a greater scope of knowledge. This channel and podcast will focus on taking a philosophical approach to understanding events, people, places, etc. through a philosophical lens. This history channel and podcast is on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music. It involves discussions with teachers, historians, and other individuals worldwide. Additionally, I will travel and record vlogs that will attempt to discuss the philosophy behind the places I travel to. Keep questioning the past in order to understand the present.

  1. Episode 71: Cold War and the Contemporary World (Part I)

    Episode 71: Cold War and the Contemporary World (Part I)

    Within this episode I take a narrative look at a summary review for the Cold War in Unit 9: Cold War and the Contemporary World in AP European History. Episode 72 will wrap of the last summary for the entire curriculum. Audio Passage: Winston Churchill, “The Sinews (Seen-Yus) of Peace” (known as the Iron Curtain Speech), Westminster College, March 5th, 1946. “What I have to say about the Communist governments in Eastern Europe is not based on information which is secret or controversial. It is plain for all to see. From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line, all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe lie under Soviet influence and increasing control from Moscow. This is not the liberated Europe we hoped to build.” Trapped in History Email Links: robert.malcomson@logan.kyschools.us trappedinhistorypodcast@gmail.com Social Media Outlets: Facebook Group Link: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/zr3rKGzVG2ZN4x8n/ TikTok Link: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZP881jy21/ Instagram: robertmalcomson Substack Link: trappedinhistory.substack.com / @trappedinhistory Recommended Websites: Preston Stewart YouTube Channel (Military/History/Global Events) https://www.youtube.com/@PrestonStewart Foreign Policy Research Institute Link: https://www.fpri.org/ Council on Foreign Relations https://www.cfr.org/ Global Conflict Tracker https://www.cfr.org/global-conflict-tracker Institute for the Study of War https://www.understandingwar.org/

  2. Episode 70: 20th Century Global Conflicts

    MAR 30

    Episode 70: 20th Century Global Conflicts

    Within this episode I went through a narrative summary of Unit 8: 20th Century Global Conflicts for AP European History. Cited Source: War is no longer a clash between armies, but is a clash between nations, between whole populations. Any distinction between belligerents and non-belligerents is no longer admissible… because when nations are at war everyone takes a part in it, the soldier carrying his gun, the woman loading shells in a factory, the farmer growing wheat, the scientist in his laboratory. The limitations applied to the so-called inhuman and atrocious means of war are nothing but international demagogic hypocrisies… [Total] War has to be regarded unemotionally as a science, regardless of how terrible a science. Giulio Douhet, Italian General and father of strategic air power, The Command of the Air, referenced in the 2006 book entitled Masters of the Air by Donald L. Miller to explain the logic of “total war”, 1921.  Trapped in History Email Links: robert.malcomson@logan.kyschools.us trappedinhistorypodcast@gmail.com Social Media Outlets: Facebook Group Link: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/zr3rKGzVG2ZN4x8n/ TikTok Link: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZP881jy21/ Instagram: robertmalcomson Substack Link: trappedinhistory.substack.com / @trappedinhistory Recommended Websites: Preston Stewart YouTube Channel (Military/History/Global Events) https://www.youtube.com/@PrestonStewart Foreign Policy Research Institute Link: https://www.fpri.org/ Council on Foreign Relations https://www.cfr.org/ Global Conflict Tracker https://www.cfr.org/global-conflict-tracker Institute for the Study of War https://www.understandingwar.org/
