Half True History – #41 – What is The Plague?
In episode 41, Dan Parrella connects with Pedro Lima (and Chris Crespo) via internet in order to remotely explain the timeline, circumstances and consequences of the plague a.k.a the black death. Dan talks about how it started in China and spread throughout Europe and Russia, how the first wave lasted five years, how the Mongols weaponized the plague, and how it traveled via rats and fleas stowing away on trade routes. Dan also explains the Statute of Labourers and how it led to the English Peasant’s Revolt and the death of the feudal system, ushering in a golden age of workers. Enjoy the show!
Half True History – #40 – Who is Hong Ziuquan?
Dan Parrella explains to Pedro Lima (and Chris Crespo) who Hong Ziuquan was and how he got a whole Christian based movement going around him in the mid to late 1800s by declaring himself to be the half brother of Jesus Christ. Not a bad idea.
Half True History – #39 – How Does History Repeat Itself?
Dan Parrella gives examples to Pedro Lima (and Chris Crespo) of ways in which history repeated itself, but also in ways that it seemed to do so but actually something else happened entirely. Is the idea of staying out of Russia in the winter really so bad? Is the history of socialism in South America a good example for the history of socialism in general? Plus Dan and Pedro have fashion tips!
