Everything Everywhere Daily - The Plans for a US/Canadian War

The United States and Canada share the world's longest undefended border. The United States and the United Kingdom have shared what has been called a “special relationship” since the Second World War.

The idea of these countries going to war with each other today is unthinkable.

Yet, this was not always the case. There was a time when this was very thinkable, and that time was far more recent than most people realize. 

Learn more about the planning for a US/Canadian war and how both sides made plans to invade the other on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Julio-Claudian Dynasty

The Roman Empire was ruled by a single family for its first century. The family was actually a merger of two of the most distinguished clans in Roman history. 

This family included some of the best and worst emperors in Rome's history. It also included a host of potential emperors who showed great potential but were killed under mysterious circumstances.

Ultimately, paranoia and poor leadership caused the family to collapse.

Learn more about the Julio-Claudian Dynasty and how they came to rule Rome on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Did one in 10 Greeks die in World War Two?

When World War Two came to Greece, a period of terrible human suffering followed. There was a brutal battle with Italian and then Nazi forces, followed by an occupation in which thousands were executed and a terrible famine swept the nation.

There?s an often repeated number that appears to capture the brutality of this time ? that 10% of the Greek population died during the war.

We investigate where this statistic comes from and whether it is true.
