S E42: TGW042 - Mark Cornwall on Sarajevo 1914 Sparking the First World War May 13, 2021

Prof. Mark Cornwall is a historian of modern East-Central Europe with a current focus on the late Habsburg Empire.

In June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo. This key event in 20th-century history continues to fascinate the public imagination, yet few historians have examined in depth the regional context which allowed this assassination to happen or the murder's ripples which quickly spread out across the Balkans, Austria-Hungary and Europe as a whole. In this study, Mark Cornwall has gathered an impressive cast of contributors to explore the causes of the Sarajevo assassination and its consequences for the Balkans in the context of the First World War.
The volume assesses from a variety of regional perspectives how the 'South Slav Question' destabilized the empire's southern provinces, provoking violent discontent in Croatia and Bosnia, and exacerbating the empire's relations with Serbia, regarded by Austria-Hungary as a dangerous state. It then explores the ripples of the Sarajevo event, from its evolution into a European crisis to the creation of a new independent state of Yugoslavia.
Bringing together fresh perspectives by historians from Austria, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia, as well as leading British historians of Austria-Hungary, this book is essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the Sarajevo violence and how it shaped modern Balkan history.

Get Blood and Iron: The Rise and Fall of the German Empire 1871–1918: bookdepository.com
Before 1871, Germany was not a nation but an idea. Its founder, Otto von Bismarck, had a formidable task at hand. How would he bring thirty-nine individual states under the yoke of a single Kaiser, convincing proud Prussians, Bavarians and Rhinelanders to become Germans? Once united, could the young European nation wield enough power to rival the empires of Britain and France – all without destroying itself in the process? In a unique study of five decades that changed the course of modern history, Katja Hoyer tells the story of the German Empire from its violent beginnings to its calamitous defeat in the First World War. It is a dramatic tale of national self-discovery, social upheaval and realpolitik that ended, as it started, in blood and iron.

S E4: TGW004 - Italy and the "Polar Bears" May 14, 2019

In our new podcast episode, Jesse and Flo talk about some changes on how to ask us questions and how we will answer them on the show or in upcoming Podcast episodes. The gist of it is, that you can continue to ask us questions or suggest topics for future episodes, we just won't display the question in the beginning of each episode but rather in the end. This makes it more accessible for people who just discover the channel.

In any case, we hope you enjoy this month's episode which also features historian Vanda Wilcox whom we interviewed about Italy in 1918/1919.
