In 1648, Europe saw the end of two of the most horrific wars that had ever been seen on the continent up until that point. 


The treaties which ended these conflicts established an international order which overturned the system which had existed for centuries, and established a new order which in many respects, still exists today. 


Learn more about the Peace of Westphalia and how its legacy can still be felt 350 years later, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Splendid and the Vile’ dives deep into Winston Churchill’s year during the blitz

The Russian invasion into Ukraine is a world-altering event that has people fearful. Historically, few leaders have navigated their country through these things like Winston Churchill, the subject of Erik Larson's book The Splendid and the Vile. It focuses on the year when Churchill became prime minister of the UK just before the German blitz. Larson told NPR's Steve Inskeep that he was incredibly popular because even though he was realistic about the toll it would take on the country, "he never indicated even an ounce of doubt as to what the ultimate victory was going to be."

In the early 15th century, just before Europe began its Age of Exploration, China was embarking on a series of voyages that put to shame anything anyone in Europe would do for centuries. 

These voyages were led by a man who was the greatest admiral in history up to that point and the ships in his fleet were the largest wooden ships that the world would ever see.

Learn more about the voyages of Admiral Zheng He on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

When Napoleon Bonaparte conquered much of Europe in the early 19th century, he didn’t create a monolithic empire that was centrally run out of Paris.


Well, he sort of did, but at least on paper, he didn’t. Rather, what he did was set up his family members as monarchs to rule in his place. 


One of those family members who was set up as king ended up moving to New Jersey.


Learn more about Joseph Boneparte, the King of New Jersey, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
