In the 19th century, the British and the Chinese went to war on two separate occasions—the reasons why they went to war are both simple and complicated.

The simple reason had to do with pushing drugs as a matter of national policy.
Learn more about the Opium Wars, why Britain and China went to war, and how it affected the future of China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Late Bronze Age Collapse
Approximately 3,200 years ago, one of the most momentous events in human history took place.
Multiple major civilizations during the Bronze Age collapsed within a generation. International trade ground to a halt, almost every major city around the Mediterranean was destroyed, and much of the world entered a dark age.
Despite its significance, this event is one of the least known and understood periods in human history.
Learn more about the Late Bronze Age Collapse and its possible causes on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Zone Rouge and the Iron Harvest (Encore)
The First World War was one of the most devastating conflicts in human history.
When the armistice was signed on November 11, 1918, the fighting might have stopped, but the impact of the war continued.
Today, over a century after the war concluded, it can still be felt. Not in the third or fourth-order geopolitical ramifications but in the literal ground where the people of Belgium and France live and work.
Learn more about Zone Rouge, the Iron Harvest, and the lingering effects of the First World War on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
