Romania 1989

Explore the captivating story of the Romanian revolution of 1989, a pivotal moment shaped by the country's rich history of resisting and embracing external influences. This intricate tapestry of events traces back to the second century AD when the Roman Emperor Trajan conquered the region, leaving an indelible mark in the form of plundered gold. Subsequent waves of invaders, including Goths, Huns, Bulgars, Magyars, and Ottomans, were met with fierce resistance, led by legendary figures like Vlad The Impaler.

Each conqueror left behind a lasting legacy, contributing to Romania's unique heterogeneity in a region dominated by homogeneity. While neighboring Slavic countries followed certain paths, Romania charted its own course, embracing Orthodox Christianity while adopting the Latin alphabet. As a result, Romanian stands as the language most closely linked to modern Italian, setting it apart from the predominantly Slavic, Turkic, or Greek languages spoken in the Balkan nations.

Join us in this episode as we unravel the complex historical threads that culminated in the Romanian revolution of 1989, shedding light on a nation's enduring spirit of resistance and its quest for a distinct identity.

The Black Hand Serbia (Gavrilo Princip)

On 28 June 1914, a young Serb named Gavrilo Princip sat outside a Delicatessen in Sarajevo, reflecting on his role in a botched assassination attempt on Archduke Ferdinand – heir to the Austro-Hungarian empire. To his surprise, the intended target suddenly came back into view. This time there would be no mistake. He calmly approached the car and fired two shots. One at Ferdinand, the other at his wife Sophie. Each proved fatal. This violent crime which led directly to the outbreak of World War I, wasn’t the act of a lone wolf gunman. It was just the latest and most devastating in a series of terrorist acts performed by members of the Serbian Black Hand. In this episode, I explore the shadowy group’s origins, their activities, and how their ultimate dream was realized in 1918 though few of them were alive to see it.

King Charles II of England

In a pivotal moment on 30 January 1649, a sizable crowd gathered beneath a hastily erected scaffold at the Palace of Whitehall. At the precise hour of 2 pm, an enigmatic masked figure struck a single fatal blow, forever altering the course of history by beheading King Charles II. This dramatic event unfolded 700 years after Alfred the Great's quest to establish the Kingdom of England, marking the end of the English monarchy as it was known.

The reins of power shifted to a commoner and staunch puritan named Oliver Cromwell, who swiftly became the de facto dictator of the nation. While Cromwell's parliamentarians celebrated the conclusion of a violent civil war, the young 19-year-old son of the fallen King harbored a fervent desire for vengeance and the restoration of the monarchy. A decade later, this determined young pretender would ascend to his father's throne.

Join us in this episode as we delve into the intriguing life of King Charles II, tracing his journey from his earliest days, through his period of exile, his triumphant return, and the tumultuous remainder of his reign. Uncover the complexities of this historical figure and the enduring impact of his legacy on England.
