For centuries, sailors told tales of gigantic waves that they encountered at sea, and for centuries, scientists didn’t believe them. 

However, over time, evidence began to pile up, which suggested that the legends of these freak waves were, in fact, true. 

These waves are rare, still not well understood, and terrifying to ships and sailors because there is almost no way to detect or predict where or when they will occur. 

Learn more about rogue waves, how they were discovered, and how they occur on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Humans have probably had the desire to fly ever since they saw the first bird fly in the air. 

Flying, as it turned out, was a very challenging problem for creatures without wings. 

Throughout the 19th century, many people tackled the problem without success. It wasn’t until the first years of the 20th century that the problem was finally solved. 

Learn more about the invention of the airplane and the solution to heavier-than-air travel on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the 1860s, one of the bloodiest wars in the Western Hemisphere took place….and it wasn’t the US Civil War. 

It was a war between Paraguay and an alliance of Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil, and it was one of the bloodiest ever fought in Latin America.

It was a conventional war that resulted in a guerilla war, which spawned famine and disease.

Learn more about the Paraguayan War or the War of the Triple Alliance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

At the end of the Second World War, Europe was a mess. The economies of most countries were in shambles and the threat of communism loomed over the continent. 

In a speech at Harvard University on June 5, 1947, U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall proposed a plan which could help get Europe back on its feet.

The plan is widely considered one of the most successful foreign aid programs in history.

Learn more about the Marshall Plan, how it came about, and how it worked on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Every year, hundreds of millions of birds around the world migrate. 

Some migrate short distances, some migrate incredibly long distances, and others don’t bother to migrate at all.

For centuries, people didn’t know why birds migrated, how they managed to travel such long distances every year, or where they would go.

Thanks to modern science and technology we now have a much better idea of how it works and where they go.

Learn more about bird migrations on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

One of the defining events of the Middle Ages took place in Constantinople on April 12, 1204. 

Soldiers of the Fourth Crusade, under orders of the Doge of the Republic of Venice, breached the walls and sacked one of the greatest cities of the era. 

The sack wasn’t just an orgy of violence and destruction, which it was. It also set into motion events that caused irreparable divisions between the Eastern and Western Christian worlds and, ultimately, the fall of the Byzantine Empire. 

Learn more about the 1204 Sack of Constantinople and how it changed the course of Europe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several major Americans were the battleground for a conflict between two great powers. 

These powers were not armies or nations; rather, they were newspaper conglomerates headed by two of the most powerful figures in the history of American media. 

The competition between them was furious, and it was fought not just on the pages of their newspapers but sometimes on the streets. 

Learn more about Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, and the newspaper wars on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
