Wars are often notable points that punctuate the historical timeline. It is a period of tragedy, drama, and often geopolitical changes. 

However, there are some wars that have been all but forgotten from history. 

One such war was a brief conflict that lasted less than four months and was fought between the United States and Spain in the summer of 1898.

Learn more about the Spanish-American war and how the impact of that war is still felt today on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Lunar New Year Love Story, the new graphic novel written by Gene Luen Yang and illustrated by Leuyen Pham, follows a teenage girl who believes she's been stuck with a generational curse for heartbreak. But during the festivity's traditional lion dance, a chance encounter gives her hope she can rewrite her fate — if she's willing to take a chance. In today's episode, Yang and Pham speak with Here & Now's Robin Young about writing romance for young readers, and what they say are the three essential elements to a good kiss.

The United States Constitution lays out a set procedure for the election of a president and how a winner is determined from various candidates. 

However, it says absolutely nothing about how those candidates are determined in the first place. 

Since the first presidential election, the process by which parties have chosen their candidates has changed multiple times and quite dramatically.

Learn more about the United States Presidential Nominating System on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Julie Schwartz Gottman and John Gottman know their fair share about relationship troubles — they're clinical psychologists who specialize in couples' therapy, and they've been married for more than 30 years. Their new book, Fight Right, breaks down how to navigate conflict by understanding communication styles, assessing wants and needs, and looking for positivity in any approach. In today's episode, the authors offer NPR's Andee Tagle some step-by-step advice on finding connection through any argument.

If you ever stay up at night scanning through frequencies on shortwave radio, there is a good chance you might come across something very odd and kind of creepy. 

You will find a station that is nothing but a disembodied voice reading off a seemingly random string of numbers. There is often an identifying sound or song which is played on a regular basis before another recital of numbers. 

These stations have no call signs or other identifying information, and no one has ever publicly claimed responsibility for them. 

Learn more about numbers stations, what they are, and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Yangsze Choo says she doesn't thoroughly plan out her novels – her newest, The Fox Wife, blossomed from that core idea behind the title, of a woman who also happens to be a fox. But beyond that, it's a story about a mother avenging her child, about a murder investigation in early 20th century China, and about family curses. As the author tells NPR's Scott Simon, foxes hold a wide range of intrigue and mystery in Chinese, Korean and Japanese legends — and it's these traits that broke open a whole world of secrets for her characters.

Because of its status as the highest point on Earth, it has attracted thousands of people who have climbed to the summit.

In the process, it has also killed hundreds of people who died in the attempt.

In the Pacific Theater in World War II, the leader of the combined Japanese fleet was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. 

Yamamoto was villanized as the arch-enemy of the American forces in the Pacific, and to be fair, he was their enemy. 

But there is actually much more to the story. Yamamoto was the loudest voice against war with the United States and was one of the only officials in the Japanese leadership who spent time in the United States and understood it. 

Learn more about Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, his rise and tragic end on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
