When you're done learning about the Revolutionary Who Changed China Sun Yat-sen, head over to Imprint and get a 7-day free trial and a 20% discount on an annual Imprint subscription: https://imprintapp.com/extrahistory2025

From his early days in Honolulu to his rise as the leader of the Revive China Society, Sun Yat-sen dedicated his life to overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and modernizing China. But revolution is never easy—fleeing for safety, surviving a dramatic kidnapping in London, and gathering allies in Tokyo, Sun's journey was filled with danger, diplomacy, and determination.

As uprisings erupted and China teetered on the edge of transformation, Sun found himself at the center of history, named the first President of the Republic of China. Yet his vision of democracy was challenged by warlords, political betrayals, and shifting alliances—including unexpected aid from Soviet Russia.

We really enjoyed revisiting this series and getting to implement the viewer feedback that Rob had previously only been able to address in Lies. Original Lies video here: https://youtu.be/9ZMU4VT2amo

In 1198, the death of Queen Constance of Sicily left a young Frederick II, just four years old, as king under the guardianship of Pope Innocent III. But the stakes were high because this isn't just about raising a child monarch. It's about a power struggle spanning empires as the Pope tries to seize this opportunity to keep Sicily independent of the Holy Roman Empire.

When you're done learning about the Irish Potato Famine, head over to Patreon! https://bit.ly/EHPatreon Where you'll get to suggest and vote on our next series, get exclusive content, and access to our discord server! All while helping the show out in the process.

The 1845 potato blight struck Ireland after first hitting the United States, but the famine's devastating impact in Ireland was worsened by political and bureaucratic failures. British Prime Minister Robert Peel repealed the Corn Laws to lower food prices but failed to effectively address Irish suffering. Sir Charles Trevelyan, influenced by Malthusian ideas, prioritized protecting markets over saving lives, leading to catastrophic consequences in 1847, known as "Black '47."

Mass evictions by landlords under the Poor Laws displaced countless Irish families, driving many to emigrate. However, Irish immigrants often faced xenophobia and hostility in their new homes, such as in New York City's Five Points neighborhood. Efforts to address the crisis, including those by Irish leaders like Daniel O’Connell and the Young Irelanders, faltered due to political division and limited resources, leaving Ireland in chaos and despair.
