In the very long history of China, it has had exactly one female ruler. 

She was a woman who managed, against all odds, to inch her way closer to power over a period of years until she reached a point where she could claim power for herself. 

By all accounts, she was beautiful, brilliant, cunning, and absolutely ruthless. 

Learn more about Wu Zetian, China’s only female emperor, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

There have been many really bad years in world history. There have been World Wars, the Black Death, and horrific natural disasters, all of which have made for very bad years. 

However, many historians have come to the conclusion that the worst year in the history of humanity was a year that in and of itself was pretty bad but also ushered in a decade of bad years. 

Moreover, it wasn’t bad for a single region or even continent, it was bad for everyone on the planet.

Learn more about the year 536 and why it very well might have been the worst year in history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the early 1920s, what was considered to be the largest political scandal in American history became public.

Despite the enormous amount of attention given to it in the press at the time, both the scandal and the president that was attached to it, have both been largely forgotten.

Yet, the legacy of this scandal can still be found in the laws today, as well as in how the media and the public respond to political scandals.

Learn more about the Teapot Dome Scandal and how it affected the administration of President Warren G. Harding 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.

After the US Civil War, the French historian Edouard de Laboulaye floated the idea of creating a large monument to honor the success of the United States in creating a democracy. 

Almost 20 years later, after significant time in fundraising, design, and construction, the new statue was unveiled to the public in New York Harbor. 

Since then, the gift of France has become a symbol not just of New York but of the United States and has inspired other similar statues around the world.

Learn more about the Statue of Liberty and how and why it was built on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
