    What if Robert E Lee had fought for the Union? He could become President | History Undone

    On this episode of History Undone Darryl Morris is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Dr Timothy Orr to discuss Robert E Lee's decision to fight for the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Considered the south's finest general, Lee was actually offered command of the Union's forces in Virginia by President Abraham Lincoln, but he would not fight against his home state that had seceded just a day earlier. So what if he had made that monumental decision and become Lee, the Union general instead? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    What If The Gunpowder Plot Had Succeeded? 'The 9/11 of The 17th Century...' | History Undone

    History Undone's brand new host Darryl Morris is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Professor Anna Whitelock to discuss one of the most mythologised events in British history: The Gunpowder Plot. Guy Fawkes' name has become the stuff of legend, yet he was just part of a group of 13 conspirators who in 1605 planted 36 barrels of gunpowder beneath Parliament, with the goal of assassinating King James I and everyone else in there that day. Of course the plot failed, and those in Britain still 'remember remember the 5th of November' 420 years later. Yet what if virtually the entire English establishment had been killed that fateful day?

    What if The Ottomans had WON The Great Siege of Malta? No Battle of Lepanto or New Holy League

    James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Professor Marcus Bull to discuss one of the most famous and mythologised battles of the 16th century period: The Great Siege of Malta in 1565. It was a fierce battle between empires, faiths and ideals, as the greatly outnumbered Christian Knights Hospitaller, which had been headquartered on the island for 35 years, held out against the might of the Ottoman Empire. Yet what if the Ottomans had succeeded nearly 500 years ago? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    What if Germany DID NOT Declare war on the US in 1941? The atomic bomb is dropped on Berlin

    James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Dr Klaus Schmider to discuss the monumental decision that has been debated by historians for decades: Adolf Hitler's declaration of war against the US after Pearl Harbour. Was it a necessary action that he needed to take, or a devastating mistake which cost Germany the war? It is undoubtedly one that, had he not made, the Second World War would have looked very different. This is History Undone. This episode of History Undone is sponsored by Visit Malta.

    What if Britain had made peace with Germany in 1940? "A DISASTER for the world"

    This episode of History Undone is sponsored by Visit Malta. To find out more information, head to visitmalta.com #ad James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Nigel Jones to discuss what could have happened had Britain sued for peace with Nazi Germany after the disastrous fall of France in May 1940. There were some in Britain who were certainly keen on the idea, but the appointment of Winston Churchill, not Lord Halifax as prime minister was just one reason that assured this alternate timeline did not happen. If it had, how would the world view Britain, would we be looking at a Nazi dominated continent and does Operation Barbarossa even succeed? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast.

    What if the US had never joined WWI? The 20th Century as we know it does NOT happen

    James Hanson is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Professor Alexander Watson to discuss one of the most profound what ifs of 20th century history - the decision by the US to enter the First World War in 1917. Without the nation's involvement does Germany rule much of Eastern Europe, do you still see the rise of the Nazis and are the US and UK allies today?
