Everything Everywhere Daily - Questions and Answers: Volume 20

The month of July is named after Julius Caesar. In 44 BC, after his assassination, the Roman Senate renamed the month of Quintilis after him in honor of the month he was born.

The fact that he was appointed dictator for life probably had something to do with it. 

All the emperors that came later never changed it, so instead of Quintilis, we have July. 

So stay tuned for the Quintilis episode of questions and answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Declaration of Independence (Encore)

On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress of the 13 British colonies in North America issued a document addressing their grievances with the British Crown and stated to the world why they considered themselves to be a free and independent country.

Learn more about the Declaration of Independence, how it came about, and its legacy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Abdication of Edward VIII

In December 1936, the United Kingdom underwent its greatest constitutional crisis of the 20th century. 

The king, Edward VIII, abdicated the throne to marry an American divorcee. This might not seem like a scandal today, but at the time, it threatened to collapse the entire British government when Europe was on the brink of war. 

The aftermath of the abdication crisis saw the rise of a new king and the birth of an entirely new royal line, a legacy that endures to this day. 

Learn more about the abdication of Edward VIII, why it happened, and its fallout on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Drake Equation (Encore)

Everything Everywhere Daily - The North Africa Campaign

Before the Allied invasions of Normandy or Sicily in World War II, the ground war against Germany and Italy was first fought in North Africa.

The reason why there was even a conflict in Africa was a combination of geography and history. Even though it doesn’t get the attention the war in Asia or Europe receives, the war in North Africa was pivotal to the ultimate resolution of the war in Europe. 

Had things gone differently, the entire course of the war would have changed.

Learn more about the North Africa Campaign, why it was fought and how it was resolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Also known as maize, corn is a crop of the New World. The ancients in China, India, Mesopotamia, and Rome never knew about corn.

Everything Everywhere Daily - Gregor MacGregror and the Biggest Scam in History

One of the most audacious scams in history took place in the early 19th century in Britain. 

A man sold thousands of people a dream of land in the New World. His claims attracted large investments, encouraged hundreds of people to move around the world, and even suckered in members of the royal family. 

However, his promises were empty, and in the end, shiploads of people were stranded in the middle of nowhere, and many people lost their life savings. 

Learn more about Gregor MacGregor and one of the biggest scams in history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Discovery and Burial of the Remains of Richard III (Encore)

The death of a British monarch is a very big event. Thousands of people may take part in the funeral and procession, with millions more lining up to pay their respects and billions more watching on television.

This didn’t always use to be the case, however. 

In particular, there was one English King who not only didn’t get an elaborate funeral, no one knew exactly where his body was for over 500 years. 

Learn more about the body of King Richard III and how it was lost and then discovered on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
