The Great War
Premiered 88 minutes agoIn our first new episode, our host Jesse takes a look at the German Revolution of 1918/1919 and how the Spartacists under Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg tried to take power. We also take a look at the new conflicts that emerge right after the supposed “war to end all wars” and explain how the massive armies of the great powers were demobilized.
