A History of Europe, Key Battles

著者: Carl Rylett
  • サマリー

  • A podcast on European conflicts from the perspective of each side to provide an alternative to the traditional national narratives. Going chronologically from the Ancient Greeks onwards I will describe to some extent how each battle was won or lost by particular decisions, tactics, technology or fortune. But the aim of each main narrative will be to place each battle in the context of the overall history of Europe.

  • 75.1 Interview with Stuart E Eizenstat
    2024/05/29

    A special episode where I interview Stuart E Eizenstat - an American diplomat and attorney.

    Mr Einzenstat worked on Jimmy Carter's 1976 presidential campaign. After winning said campaign he became President Jimmy Carter’s Chief Domestic Policy Adviser.

    Later he went on to become President Bill Clinton's Deputy Secretary of the Treasury. And he served as the United States Ambassador to the European Union from 1993 to 1996

    Mr Eizenstat has also devoted much effort to various aspects of Holocaust Restitution, successfully negotiating major agreements with the Swiss, Germans, Austrian and French, and other European countries.


    He has recently written a book called the Art of Diplomacy in which he recounts how American negotiators reached historic agreements that changed the world.

  • 74.19 Treaty of Versailles
    2023/10/20

    The Paris Peace consisted of a group of distinct treaties, but the main concern of the delegates was the settlement with Germany, embodied in the Treaty of Versailles signed in June 1919.

    Germany’s eastern frontiers presented far greater problems.

  • 74.18 Endgame, 1918
    2023/09/29

    In Spring 1918 a massive German offensive made significant territorial gains, but ultimately not the intended breakthrough, and the Allied forces stood firm. Exhausted and demoralised at the scale of casualties, the Germans were pushed back in a major counter-attack in the late Summer and Autumn. And on 26 September, the Allies launched a general offensive along the entire Western Front.

    Meanwhile, the Habsburg empire was fast falling apart as various nationalities declared independence.
