In this mini-sode, we discuss 2 of our latest email dispatches in more detail, getting to grips with:

  • Do the maps from the nineteenth century inadvertently (or deliberately) reveal the mapmaker’s sentiments (especially as new nations are born in Europe!)
  • The terror felt by one military man in England when Prussia absorbed Germany (he was so scared that he wrote a novel to wake everyone up to the danger!)
  • The weirdly but oh-so-Victorian story of why The Ashes is called “The Ashes”
  • Where cricket failed as a propaganda weapon in the British Empire (when it worked almost everywhere else!)

Enjoy the episode – but don’t forget you can join us on our daring historical journey simply by lending us your email address at footnotesofhistory.com!
