Podcast
After spending time as a tour guide, I became frustrated by only being able to discuss Berlin and German history. I wanted to explore stories from around the world—because history everywhere is fascinating! This led me to launch the podcast, originally called “The History Buff,” now rebranded as the Ministry of History Podcast.
The First World War: The Causes
In this episode, I will be breaking down for you the reasons why Europe collapsed into the most catastrophic war in history (up until that point). Many people say it was caused by the shots from a gun belonging to a Serbian nationalist, but this is far too simplistic. Whilst this may have triggered the events that led to the final descent into war, there were plenty of other factors that had created the conditions for war to break out. Listen to find out what they were!
