Everything Everywhere Daily - The Velvet Revolution and The Velvet Divorce

The country of Czechoslovakia was born and died in the 20th century. 

It was created after a war, suffered through another war, was occupied during the Cold War, and was finally liberated in 1989. 

Once it did become free of Soviet Rule, they decided that maybe they should never have been made into a country in the first place. 

Unlike almost every country that came before it, it managed to dissolve without any violence. 

Learn more about Czechoslovakia, the Velvet Revolution, and the Velvet Divorce on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Domestication of Sheep

Sometime around 11,000 years ago, somewhere in the Middle East or Central Asia, someone figured out how they could keep wild sheep and breed them. 

This simple act had enormous consequences for humanity. It improved food production, revolutionized the production of clothing, and even influenced the development of writing. 

Fast forward over 10,000 years, and sheep are still a significant part of the economies of several nations. 

Learn more about the domestication of sheep and how it changed human civilization on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Origins of the Vietnam War (Encore)

The Vietnam War was perhaps the most significant event that took place in the last half of the 20th century. 

It had profound impacts on the United States and, of course, Vietnam.

However, many people have a very simplistic view of the causes of the war. They assume it was just a result of Cold War politics. While that was certainly a cause, the root causes go back much further. 

Learn more about the origins of the Vietnam War and how and why it happened on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
