183. History's Biggest Questions with Dan Carlin (Part 1)
Who was the most influential leader of the 20th century? What would have happened if the South had won the American Civil War? Would you rather be under siege from the Mongols, the Romans, or the Assyrians?
In a huge moment for transatlantic history podcasting, Tom and Dominic are joined by titan of the genre and friend of the show Dan Carlin, the host of one of the world's largest history podcasts, Hardcore History.
Over the course of two episodes, Dan, Tom and Dominic tackle ten of the biggest questions in history, including counterfactuals and hypothetical matchups.
The second part of this double-header is out on Thursday.

We're history fans! If we got the patience to read history books we got the patience to listen to an extremely interesting conversation for hours! Never feel bad about the length!

And if you don’t have the patience, just score some Pervitin and listen to it on 8x speed…

The trick is to ease your way into history books and pick which ones to read smartly. You don’t want to accidentally end up with a college history textbook that is more scientific in its approach. I recommend listening to the audiobook version of Dictatorland by Paul Kenyon to start. It’s a harrowing account of some of the dictatorships that overtook Africa post colonialism. An extremely good read and one of my favorite casual history books.

@@darkflamemaster824 if you listen, they kept saying they didn't want to stretch it out. Hence why it's in parts. My comment was for them to not consider length when having these conversations. Could of been 4 hours long I would of listened to it all
Absolutely thrilled that I came across this. Been a devotee of Dan Carlin for a few years and recently fell in love with The Rest is History.
Big Dan fan. Fun show boys.
Fantastic

What an absolute delight. I’m a long time fan of Dan and Tom, and could’ve easily listened to a 5-hour long discussion. (:

Love this!!!!
If you don't pay KZread the ads on this are ridiculous!
Brilliant discussion.
I have to share this. Whilst listening to the line "After the Tsar had signed the mobilisation order, he turned to his generals and said..." at which point an ad started with the song 'Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match"!!! Perfect timing and how different world history could have been if Nicolas had done this... :0)
First time I seen one of your videos awesome work
Loved the collab! joining the club in hopes to buy a whilhelm boating shirt one day
If this is a Marvel superhero team up, surely Tom Holland would be Spiderman.
Yahtzee. Carlin in the house.
God bless Dan Carlin

Storytelling seems a trait we all have and all love wherever we're from.

Seriously somebody give me a reading list with these guys man😂 interesting perspectives on some previously unknown stuff if you ask me.
in Dan we Trust..
My choice for most influential leader of the 20th century is Ho Chi Minh. Ho fought and struggled against the French for decades and then the Americans to achieve Vietnamese independence. The 20th was the century of dismantling the imperialist European empires. It was Ho who led the way and showed dozens of other small colonised countries that is was possible to stand up to larger more technologically advanced powers.
Can I humbly request a Spanish Civil War episode? It rhymes a bit too much with today's America in many ways.

Yes please. Spanish Civil War.
But if Wilhelm hadn't caused WW1, then we'd be talking about Cho, leader of Fascist Korea, and the 15 million Manchurians he killed in the Great East Asian Wars. (which is to say, its very likely some form of horror is inevitable regardless of the path it takes to arrive at it)
"The Kaiser's Deck Shoes" should be the name of a porn spoof.
Tom Holland and Dan Carlin - together! I occasionally fantasize about who I'd invite to the ultimate dinner party - if I was Bill Gates rich and could send private jets to collect my guests. Dan and Tom are always two of my guests - along with Marc Morris, Catherine Hanley and Levi Roach. Obviously there would be very many others I'd love to invite.
