Are we on the point of World War III - and what does Ancient Greece have to do with it?
In this episode of English and Beyond: Advanced, we explore The Thucydides Trap - a theory from ancient history that's now being used to explain modern tensions between China and the United States.
You’ll learn:
– Who Thucydides was and what he said about the Peloponnesian War
– How Harvard professor Graham Allison revived this idea for the 21st century
– Why some people believe war between China and the US is inevitable - and others say it's avoidable
– Why fear, not ambition, might be the most dangerous force in international relations
– And how studying Ancient Greece can help you understand today's world - and improve your English at the same time.
This episode includes natural native English, cultural insight, and advanced vocabulary related to politics, diplomacy, and global conflict.
