Great Mind #19 - Napoleon III Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

Hello Great Minds!
For the first time this season, I managed to get a Great Mind released on time, so Happy Tuesday!
Napoleon III is a figure who did the unthinkable! He was one of the most influential figures of the nineteenth century world. He ruled in the days of Lincoln. He rose from obscurity to the heights of greatness... Yet, most don't even know that I am not talking about Napoleon Bonaparte!
Napoleon III was a man with a vision. A modern man in a constantly changing age. A Great Mind that aimed to reignite the Golden Age that his uncle, that is Napoleon Bonaparte, started, but he was not a man of ruthless and bloodthirsty conquest… most of the time.
"Le Petit," Louis Napoleon, the President and Emperor of France, may just be the Great Mind that fell the hardest this season, but I guess you'll have to listen to find out how...
Key Topics: Second French Empire, 19th Century France, Victor Hugo, 1848 Revolutions

Another Moment with Mr. DGMH - The Thirty Years' War Aug 23, 2022

Show notes

Hello Great Minds!
The Thirty Years’ War was a religious war, a political war, it was a war about control, it was a war for German Liberties, it was a war to stop the Hapsburgs supremacy, but above all else it was a violent war.
The war itself was one of the deadliest in human history, yet it is largely forgotten in popular history. It is lost in the shadows of World Wars, Civil Wars, and Cold Wars.
So, here it is, the preview and debut episode of our latest addition to Patreon Land, "Another Moment with Mr. DGMH," where Mr. DGMH rambles on about the Thirty Years' War.
This one is a introduction to what is to come.
If you want more, head on over to Patreon Land to get access to this segment and so much more... Patreon Link - https://www.patreon.com/user?u=34398347&fan_landing=true
The next two episodes will be up on Patreon later today!
Cheers!
