May 1940 is one of the critical months in British history. As the Nazis tore across Europe and Winston Churchill became Prime Minister, our guest Sinclair McKay explains that this was also the month in which the Home Guard was founded. Originally known as the Local Defence Volunteers (LDV) and affectionately recalled in the BBC sitcom as 'Dad's Army', the Home Guard was a colourful military force that was compounded by individuals from the local community. In this episode McKay takes us back to the first year of this colourful organisation's existence. He describes how Churchill was involved in the development of the Home Guard's identity and how an inspiring woman, Edith Summerskill, sought to shape it. Find out more about Sinclair McKay's Dad's Army: The Glorious True Story of the Home Guard.  Show Notes Scene One: May 1940 – Anthony Eden's radio announcement calling for Local Defence Volunteers, as across the Channel, France falls. Scene Two: July 1940 Churchill renames it the Home Guard as – on the south downs – JB Priestley espies the true poetry of the moment. Scene Three: November 1940 Dr Edith Summerskill (MP for Fulham) begins her long campaign to have women join the Home Guard. Memento: A dummy grenade.

DNSimple has a CLI! Carl and Richard talk to DNSimple CEO Anthony Eden about the evolution of the DNSimple CLI in today's software market. DNSimple provides DNS, domain registrar, and certificate services - so why does it need a CLI? Anthony talks about earlier experiments with CLIs for folks who didn't want to use the web interface. But today, large language models change the game and work best with a CLI - those specific commands mean more accurate results from LLMs, which make for a powerful natural language interface experience. The conversation covers the new tooling around LLMs, how the registrar market has evolved, changes to certificates, and ICANN's recent announcement of new gTLDs.

Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nassar announced Egypt was taking control of the British and French owned Suez Canal Company in July 1956.  He took this action to fund the Aswan Dam he wanted built.  In response to Nassar seizing the canal, Britain, France, and Israel secretly planned a joint invasion.  Israel would advance towards the canal through the Sinai Peninsula while Britain and France would intervene and regain control of the canal under the guise of being peacekeepers.  Barry Turner explains why the plan did not work in, “Suez 1956: The Inside Story of the First Oil War.”

“If the regime doesn't lose, it wins.” — Soli ÖzelIt was just past midnight in Istanbul when I reached Soli Özel. The Pentagon had just announced it was deploying 3,000 soldiers — the 82nd Airborne — to the Gulf. Özel — professor of international relations at Kadir Has University, columnist, and one of the most trusted analysts of Middle Eastern politics — is blunt. This might, he warns, be America's Suez moment.In 1956, Britain and France — two spent imperial powers that refused to accept they were spent — were humiliated in Egypt. Trump is a noisier, more corpulent Anthony Eden. The difference between then and now is that the US and Soviet Union were ready to replace the European colonial powers. Today, no great power can take America's place in the region. But its prestige is diminished, its ammunition depleted, and when it called on NATO allies to help open the Strait of Hormuz, nobody volunteered. Russia and China, Özel suggests, are winning on every front without sending any of their crack regiments to the front. It may also be midnight for a declining United States in the Middle East. Five Takeaways•       The Negotiations Were Going America's Way: According to the Omani foreign minister, Iran had accepted conditions firmer than the original JCPOA. The war was a choice, not a necessity. The question is who convinced the president: the Venezuela precedent, which suggested quick regime decapitation, or the Israelis, who wanted not just a deal but the regime's destruction. Nobody told him that Venezuela and Iran have nothing in common.•       If the Iranian Regime Doesn't Lose, It Wins: Iran has escalation control. Its defensive resilience has exceeded every analyst's expectations. It struck the Ras Laffan gas refinery in Qatar — three to five years to repair. It hit radars, data centres, refineries. Nobody thought they could do this. If the regime survives, it emerges emboldened, more autocratic, and the entire Gulf security equation changes permanently.•       This May Be America's Suez Moment: In 1956, Britain and France — two spent imperial powers — were humiliated in Egypt. The difference: the US and Soviet Union were ready to take their place. Today, no great power can replace America in the region. But its prestige is diminished, its ammunition depleted, and when it called on NATO allies to help open the Strait of Hormuz, nobody volunteered.•       The Moral Debate America Isn't Having: The decapitation strategy — assassinating an entire generation of foreign leaders — crossed a red line that should never have been crossed. The American debate is about preparedness, Israeli influence, and whether Trump can find an exit. The moral question is taking the back seat. The rest of the world has noticed.•       Russia Wins. China Waits. Nothing Will Be the Same: Oil prices from the sixties to over a hundred. Russia has more room in Ukraine. China is happy the US can't pivot to Asia and is depleting ammunition reserves meant for a Taiwan scenario. Relations between the Gulf countries, Israel, and the United States will be reconsidered, redefined, and never the same. About the GuestSoli Özel is a professor of international relations at Kadir Has University in Istanbul, a fellow at the Robert Bosch Academy, and a columnist for Habertürk. A member of the European Council on Foreign Relations, he has taught at Johns Hopkins SAIS, UC Santa Cruz, and Yale, and was a Fisher Family Fellow at the Belfer Center at the Harvard Kennedy School. He writes regularly for Project Syndicate.References:•       Episode 2843: The Philadelphia Story — Richard Vague on how America's first bank was created to fund war.

#339: DNS has been around since the 1980s. Nobody's writing blog posts about how it changed their life. But every single thing on the internet depends on it -- including all those AI tools everyone's excited about. Anthony Eden has been in the DNS business since the late nineties, when he was CTO of one of the first seven domain registrars after the .com deregulation. In 2010 he started DNSimple, and he did it without a dime of venture capital. Sixteen years later, his 20-person team runs a global DNS infrastructure with 14 edge nodes and 9 origin servers spread across multiple continents. The conversation covers the mistakes companies make with their domains -- running production DNS on a registrar that was never built for it, sharing logins with no access control, zero documentation on why records exist. Anthony breaks down how DNS actually works at scale (unicast vs anycast, the onion layers of resolvers), why your email deliverability problems are probably a DNS problem, and what the www vs no-www debate looks like in 2026. On AI tools, Anthony's take is practical. They're giving his engineers more time to think about problems instead of typing out solutions. But he's not buying the vibe coding hype -- when you run critical internet infrastructure, everyone on the team needs to understand the systems they're building. And for AI startups hoping to cash out? Most will fail. The twist you put on somebody else's model won't be a moat. It'll just become a feature for something bigger.   Anthony's contact information: X: https://x.com/aeden Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/anthonyeden.bsky.social LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aeden/   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

"The original soundtrack I used from Cities & Memory's archive was recorded on a street in Cairo at sunset, outside the Marriott Hotel and Omar Khayyam casino, on Saray El Gezira Street. The famous Gezirah Palace was completed in 1869 by Khedive Ismail, to host dignitaries for the opening of the Suez Canal that year. When I first listened to this piece I heard, among the sounds of car horns and the evening prayer call, the sound of footsteps running down the street and away, and a sharp gasp of breath. The whipping wind in the microphone sounded like a jinn or an Afreet, plural Afareet. It reminded me of my favourite song El Shawarea Hawadeet (the streets are tales) by El Masreyeen from 1977. Lonely streets echoing with memories, stories and Afareet.  "In the final piece, you can hear layers of sounds from different eras. The song Al Bulbul Gani (the nightingale came to me) recorded in Cairo in 1906, written by Abd al-hayy Hilmi; the sounds of drumming used in the Cairo Zar women's ritual by the group Mazaher – a ritual to try to find accommodation with demons that have taken over a woman's body. You can hear too, strange sounds of a furious female jinn screaming, shouting and banging at each outrageous sentence from British prime minister Anthony Eden, in his public address in 1956 during the Suez Crisis, where he attempts to justify Britain's bombing of Egypt. Oil is the justification for everything.  "As this Cairo tale unfolds, the Arabian riff, or “Melodia Arabe”, sinuously weaves between the Zar drumming. Composed in the 1800's, the Arabian riff, also known as The Streets of Cairo, was a little Orientalist ditty that supposedly evoked the exotic Arab. The quote I am reading is from the 1899 gothic novel, Pharos The Egyptian, by Guy Boothby. It was one of many gothic horror stories of revenge by an angry Egyptian mummy or demon, a fear that haunted the Victorians during this era."

La crisis de Suez de 1956, también conocida como la Guerra del Sinaí, fue el canto del cisne del imperialismo europeo, fortaleció el nacionalismo árabe y consolidó la el mundo bipolar de la guerra fría con Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética como dos únicas superpotencias. El origen de la crisis hay que ir a buscarlo al canal de Suez, inaugurado en 1869 y arteria vital para el comercio internacional. En 1955 por él pasaba el 50% de todo el petróleo que se consumía en el mundo, pero lo explotaba una compañía anglo-francesa. Los británicos habían controlado Egipto hasta 1922, año en el que, tras la fachada de una independencia nominal, se convirtió en un protectorado de facto. La Revolución de 1952, acaudillada por Gamal Abdel Nasser, abolió la monarquía y promovió el panarabismo para liberar a su país del yugo colonial. Pero no disponía de recursos, así que propuso construir una gran presa en Asuán que permitiese regular el cauce del Nilo y generar electricidad. No podía financiar su construcción y eso le llevó a pedir dinero en Occidente, donde le ofrecieron un préstamo. En paralelo Nasser negoció la compra de armas soviéticas y reconoció a la China popular, lo que alarmó a Estados Unidos que canceló el préstamo para presionarle. Nasser podía agachar la cabeza o elevar la apuesta. Escogió lo segundo. El 26 de julio de 1956, nacionalizó el canal para financiar la presa y reafirmar la soberanía egipcia. Eso era un órdago para el Reino Unido y Francia que dependían del petróleo que transitaba por Suez. Israel, muy afectado por el bloqueo del estrecho de Tirán y los ataques de guerrilleros palestinos desde Gaza, vio en aquello una oportunidad para debilitar a Egipto. Británicos, franceses e israelíes se reunieron en secreto cerca de París y acordaron el protocolo de Sèvres, por el cual se coordinaban para efectuar una operación que consistiría en que Israel se encargase de atacar a Egipto mientras los europeos intervendrían después para proteger el canal. El 29 de octubre Israel lanzó la Operación Kadesh, destruyeron la fuerza aérea egipcia y capturaron Gaza y Sharm el-Sheij. El día 30, el Reino Unido y Francia emitieron un ultimátum exigiendo la retirada de ambos ejércitos de la zona del canal. El 5 de noviembre paracaidistas anglo-franceses tomaron Port Said, pero la resistencia egipcia, que bloqueó el canal hundiendo varios buques, complicaron la operación. Estados Unidos no había sido informado, lo que molestó especialmente a su presidente, Dwight Eisenhower. Enfurecido, obligó a británicos y franceses a retirarse y se encargó personalmente de que una fuerza especial de la ONU se desplegase en el canal. La URSS de Jruschov hizo el resto amenazando al Reino Unido y Francia con un ataque nuclear. Un mes más tarde los europeos abandonaron Egipto con el rabo entre las piernas. La crisis supuso una humillación histórica para las dos grandes potencias del siglo XIX. El primer ministro británico, Anthony Eden, y el francés, Guy Mollet, tuvieron que presentar la renuncia meses después. Nasser se convirtió en el héroe del mundo árabe. Israel salió ganando, ya que se aseguró el acceso al mar Rojo, pero habían quedado sembradas las semillas para guerra de los seis días de 1967.

Anthony Eden started his premiership well, chalking up a general election win and the lowest level of unemployment Britain has seen at any time since the Second World War. Little else went well, however. His Foreign Secretary, Harold Macmillan made a statement to the House of Commons exonerating Kim Philby from suspicion of being a Soviet spy. That was a statement he would live to regret.Far worse for Eden was what happened in Egypt. The nationalist Egyptian President Gamel Abdel Nasser nationalised the Suez Canal in 1956. Despite Eden's lack of enthusiasm for European integration and his far greater commitment to the Commonwealth, and to the so-called special relationship between the UK and the United States, he decided to respond without consulting the US and in concert with France, one of those European powers he was so unenthusiastic on getting close to. They in turn colluded with Israel to invade the Egyptian territory of Sinai, after which they would react with horror, call on both sides to cease firing, and when that didn't happen, send in troops themselves.Unfortunately, the world reacted with widespread anger at the actions of the Israeli-French-British coalition. The US, indeed, put huge pressure on Britain by threatening to sell British bonds, which would have massively damaged the British currency. They later blocked oil supplies to Britain.The result was that though the military action only got started on 29 October 1956, when Israel went into the Sinai, Britain called a ceasefire on 7 November. That angered the French, who have behaved with little confidence in the British or American military ever since. It also led to the ultimate defeat of the coalition, with the British government having to announce an unconditional withdrawal of its forces on 3 December 1956.Eden was made the scapegoat for the debacle. He resigned in January 1957, after less than two years in post. Many expected the succession to go to Rab Butler, who'd deputised for Eden while the latter was away recovering from a collapse in his health at the height of the crisis, but Harold Macmillan proved much too wily for him, outmanoeuvring him and taking the top position himself.We'll be getting to know Macmillan era next week.Illustration: Smoke rises from oil tanks beside the Suez Canal hit during the initial Anglo-French assault on Port Said, 5 November 1956.

The old man was back. The Conservatives won the 1951 election and Winston Churchill returned to Downing Street. And he really was an old man – nearly 77 when he took office. To many, he it seemed increasingly clear that he was unfit for office, but he wouldn't leave, clinging on, in the end, for three and a half years. He did get various things done. He presided over the ending of rationing. He allowed the British secret service to work with the Americans to bring down the democratically elected government in Iran, to protect British oil interests, a move whose consequences we're still suffering from today. And he also did all he could to lessen the risk of the world wiping itself out in a war using Hydrogen bombs, far more destructive still than the bombs that had actually been used against Japan. He appointed a Home Secretary, David Maxwell Fyfe, who would use the full power of the law against gay sex to make life miserable for a lot of gay men. His most notable victim was Alan Turing, an outstanding scientist of his generation, persecuted, subjected to chemical castration, and driven to an early death, it seems pretty clear, by suicide.Fyfe also believed strongly in the death penalty, even though this was a time when a couple of particularly striking miscarriages of justice came to light, miscarriages that led to the execution of innocent men. It would take decades to clear their names. But the death penalty would not be abolished at that time.Churchill's attempt to do something about the Hydrogen bomb was his last great initiative in office, his last international action, his last pretext for putting off resignation. It, however, failed. Even so, he hung on another eight months, with no obvious excuse for not going. Still, if he had no excuse, it's clear today that he may well have had an understandable reason, other than the natural instinct of men in power to cling on to it as long as possible.He may simply have had no confidence that his designated successor, Anthony Eden, was up to the job. Something we'll be checking up on next week.Illustration: Winston Churchill seeing Queen Elizabeth II to her car after dinner at Downing Street the day before he left office.

Anthony Eden is a gray beard in terms of internet time, being around when Netscape was released. He was studying music at the University of Miami, and decided to build a website to show off his music and other peoples work - and was hooked. Outside of tech, he grew up surfing, living in Hawaii, France and now Florida. He enjoys writing software for fun - when he has time - and playing board games with this kids - when they are around.In the past, Anthony was coming off of a failed startup. At the time, he was using a different vendor to manage domains and DNS - which he did not like at all. He decided to go forward and build a better solution, and one that is - you guessed it - simple.This is the creation story of DNSimple.SponsorsPropelAuthTeclaSpeakeasyQA WolfSnapTradeLinkshttps://dnsimple.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/aeden/Our Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com* Check out Red Hat: https://www.redhat.com* Check out Vanta: https://vanta.com/CODESTORYSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Phil reacts to the emerging story of a possible new British political scandal. Having come to power partly because Boris Johnson fell foul of Britain's tough Covid rules, did our current Prime Minister break them too and, if so, should it even matter? Phil's article from 2022 is also relevant here. https://thecritic.co.uk/im-done-with-po-faced-politicians/Then writer James Crossland joins Phil to discuss his fascinating and exciting book about one of the most dramatic - and scandalous - British spy stories of all time.Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart was an impressive figure: a diplomat, intelligence agent, conspirator, journalist and propagandist who played a key role in both world wars. He was a man who charmed his way into the confidences of everyone from Leon Trotsky to Anthony Eden.

December 18, 1938 - Returning to Hollywood by train. An unnamed announcer introduces the show even though Don Wilson appears in the episode. Jack Benny and the gang are coming home from New York. References include Red Cap Porters, the song "Ol' Man Mose", political figure Anthony Eden, fight announcer Clem McCarthy, comedian Fred Allen, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Dracula, The Dead End Kids, and movies "You Can't Take It With You", "Snow White" and "Artists and Models Abroad".

We start this week with Hitler announcing that there would be no more surprises, though we immediately question whether his word could always be wholly trusted. We go on to look at the way Hitler was building a regime which didn't just want war, above all against what he saw as a Jewish-Bolshevik menace, but actually needed it as the only way to obtain basic products for the German population, and raw materials that the military machine itself had to have. Meanwhile, British foreign policy was under new management, with Anthony Eden as Foreign Secretary in place of the disgraced Samuel Hoare. The Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, told him he wanted better relations with Germany and when Eden asked how he was to obtain them, he told him that it was Eden's job to work that out. But then Baldwin stood down, and his successor, Neville Chamberlain, had a different approach. He wanted to run foreign affairs himself, and he was intent on going flat out for appeasement. That finally brought the Prime Minister and his Foreign Secretary into a head-on clash, over concessions to Italy, in the hope of securing Mussolini's assistance. Chamberlain was prepared to recognise that Italy had the right to invade and occupy Abyssinia (Ethiopia today), even though that was a breach of international law. Eden was in favour of appeasement, but not at the cost of unreasonable concessions, and this one he decided really wasn't reasonable. Eden went. His replacement was Lord Halifax. He'd recently been on a hunting trip to Germany as the guest of Hermann Goering, and came back convinced that the Nazi leaders were reasonable men with whom a sensible set of arrangements could be negotiated. Then Hitler showed that the age of surprises really wasn't over. He sent troops over the border into neighbouring Austria, to absorb it into the German Reich. There was no resistance in the country, and none from outside either, including from Britain. European great powers didn't greatly rate the rights of Africa's native peoples. Writing off the rights of the Abyssinians therefore was no great shock. But this was Austria, a European country, and Hitler invaded and annexed it without the slightest attempt to stop him from abroad. It seemed that appeasers were prepared to step across some red lines in their bid to buy peace through concessions to dictators.

Nous sommes le 17 juin 1943. Répondant à une note d'Anthony Eden, son ministre des Affaires étrangères, concernant un projet de livraison d'armes au royaume saoudien, Winston Churchill écrit : « Nous ne savons pas encore ce qu'il adviendra de l'Arabie saoudite lorsque Ibn Saoud mourra. C'et un vieil homme maintenant et c'est peut-être donner des verges pour se faire battre si nous lui fournissons trop de matériel … Gardez cela au minimum. Pourquoi ne pas lui offrir une élégante jeep adaptée pour son usage personnel. » En réalité, le roi, à l'époque, est âgé d'un peu plus d'une soixantaine d'années et est plus jeune que le premier ministre britannique. Trois ans plus tard, Anthony Eden, déjà cité, souligne : « Il fut un temps où Ibn Saoud dépendait totalement de nous pour l'argent, les armes et la protection internationale. Aujourd'hui, il obtient tout cela de ses nouveaux amis aux Etats-Unis. Ibn Saoud ne nous est plus redevable de rien, et c'est seulement par notre capacité d'influence que nous parvenons à l'empêcher d'absorber ses voisins moins puissants. » Qui était Ibn Saoud, grand-père de MBS – Mohammed ben Salman, l'actuelle roi d'Arabie saoudite ? Fondateur de la dynastie, il n'a eu de cesse de rétablir les droits de sa famille chassée du pouvoir à la fin du XIXe siècle. C'est lui qui, en 1932, réunira ses conquêtes territoriales en un Etat unique. Ses contemporains vanteront sa séduction, son courage, son habilité politique mais aussi son double jeu, ses compromissions et son instrumentalisation de la religion. Revenons sur le parcours d'un homme qui a beaucoup appris de son expérience dans le désert et dont l'héritage, aujourd'hui, ne fait pas l'unanimité. Invité : Christian Destremau « Ibn Saoud – seigneur du désert, roi d'Arabie » paru au éditions Perrin. Sujets traités : Ibn Saoud, Royaume, Winston Churchill, Arabie saoudite, dynastie, roi, Mohammed ben Salman Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be : https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Et si vous avez apprécié ce podcast, n'hésitez pas à nous donner des étoiles ou des commentaires, cela nous aide à le faire connaître plus largement.

#GAZA: The floating dock & What is to be done? Bill Roggio, FDD. Husain Haqqani, Hudson https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2024/03/generation-jihad-ep-149-welcome-to-port-gaza.php 1940 Anthony Eden at Gaza

Entre el 17 de julio y el 2 de agosto de 1945 se celebró en Potsdam, una localidad en las inmediaciones de Berlín, la conferencia de paz que puso fin a la segunda guerra mundial en Europa. Tres grandes potencias asistieron a la misma: Estados Unidos, la Unión Soviética y el Reino Unido representadas por Harry Truman, Iósif Stalin y Winston Churchill, que fue sustituido por Clement Attlee en la recta final de la conferencia porque había perdido las elecciones. El peso de las negociaciones, no obstante, recayó sobre los hombros de sus ministros de Exteriores: James Byrnes por EEUU, Vyacheslav Molotov por la Unión Soviética y los británicos Anthony Eden y Ernest Bevin. Sus objetivos eran muy ambiciosos y no tenían mucho tiempo para ponerse de acuerdo. Querían establecer el nuevo orden de posguerra en Europa y decidir qué hacer con Alemania, un país derrotado y en ruinas que en aquel momento se encontraba ocupado por ejércitos de cuatro países distintos. La conferencia tuvo lugar en Cecilienhof, un palacete de estilo inglés que había mandado construir el káiser Guillermo II como residencia para su hijo mayor. Se celebraron un total de trece sesiones. Las reuniones eran de dos tipos. Por un lado, las que sostenían el equipo negociador al completo con los jefes de Gobierno a su cabeza, por otro las que mantuvieron los ministros de Exteriores en las que se debatían los detalles que luego pasaban a la sesión principal. Tanto Truman como Stalin querían dejar el asunto resuelto cuanto antes por lo que se mostraron dispuestos a ceder en algunos asuntos para no embrollarse en discusiones bizantinas. Los británicos poco pudieron influir ya que su posición era la más precaria y cambiaron de negociadores en mitad de las sesiones, lo que les debilitó de forma notable. En el curso de la conferencia, Truman fue informado de que la prueba Trinity de la primera bomba atómica había sido exitosa. Insinuó a Stalin que Estados Unidos estaba a punto de utilizar un nuevo tipo de arma contra los japoneses. Aunque esta era la primera vez que los soviéticos recibían oficialmente información sobre la bomba atómica, Stalin ya estaba al tanto del proyecto de la bomba gracias a sus infiltrados dentro del Proyecto Manhattan. A los cuatro días de concluir la conferencia, la primera bomba atómica cayó sobre la ciudad de Hiroshima. En la conferencia de Potsdam nació la Europa de posguerra. Alemania quedó formalmente ocupada por estadounidenses, soviéticos, británicos y franceses. La frontera oriental de Alemania se trasladaría hasta la línea Oder-Neisse, lo que redujo la superficie del país un 25% con respecto a las fronteras de 1937. Todas las anexiones realizadas por el Tercer Reich se revirtieron. Esto tuvo como consecuencia que los alemanes que viviesen al otro lado de la línea fuesen deportados a las zonas ocupadas de lo que quedaba de Alemania. Ese territorio pasaría a Polonia, que, eso sí, no recuperaría las regiones ocupadas por Stalin en 1939. En toda la Europa ocupada por el ejército rojo Stalin quedaba libre para hacer y deshacer a su antojo. De modo que, aunque se comprometió a que se celebrasen elecciones libres, en apenas tres años todos los países que habían caído en la órbita soviética se transformaron en repúblicas populares controladas desde Moscú. Durante los siguientes 45 años el continente quedaría partido en dos. La primera piedra de la guerra fría se puso en Potsdam y todos los que participaron en ella ya lo sospechaban.

As 1945 began the greatest conflict in human history was drawing to a close. But with the war in the west almost over, a new question was increasingly being asked. It was one to which Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill and Franklin D Roosevelt all had different answers. What was going to happen next? In this episode the million-copy bestselling author Giles Milton takes us back to some key moments in 1945. At Yalta on the Crimean peninsula and later in the ruins of Berlin, the shape of the post war world – the world we know today – was beginning to take shape. What is clear now was not so then. Were the Allies really friends or were, as Anthony Eden worried, they hurtling towards a third world war? Arriving in Berlin at the start of July 1945, the US army colonel Frank Howley feared much the same. As Milton explains, it was Howley who saw before almost anyone else that the Germans had ceased to be enemies and the Russians had ceased to be friends. The characters and stories that feature in this episode of Travels Through Time form part of Milton's latest book. Checkmate in Berlin: The Cold War Showdown That Shaped the Modern World.

In the spring of 1954, after eight years of bitter fighting, the war in Vietnam between the French and the communist-led Vietminh came to a head. With French forces reeling, the United States planned to intervene militarily to shore-up the anti-communist position. Turning to its allies for support, first and foremost Great Britain, the US administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower sought to create what Secretary of State John Foster Dulles called a "united action" coalition. In the event, Winston Churchill's Conservative government refused to back the plan. Fearing that US-led intervention could trigger a wider war in which the United Kingdom would be the first target for Soviet nuclear attack, the British Foreign Secretary, Anthony Eden, was determined to act as Indochina peacemaker - even at the cost of damage to the Anglo-American "special relationship". In Anthony Eden, Anglo-American Relations and the 1954 Indochina Crisis (Bloomsbury, 2019), Kevin Ruane and Matthew Jones revisit a Cold War episode in which British diplomacy played a vital role in settling a crucial question of international war and peace. Eden's diplomatic triumph at the 1954 Geneva Conference on Indochina is often overshadowed by the 1956 Suez Crisis which led to his political downfall. This book, however, recalls an earlier Eden: a skilled and experienced international diplomatist at the height of his powers who may well have prevented a localised Cold War crisis escalating into a general Third World War. Charles Coutinho, PH. D., Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, received his doctorate from New York University. His area of specialization is 19th and 20th-century European, American diplomatic and political history. He has written for Chatham House's International Affairs, the Institute of Historical Research's Reviews in History and the University of Rouen's online periodical Cercles.

Have a gorilla! Napoleon's Piano is one of the most loved Goon Shows of all time and joining Tyler this week to talk about it is Angie Budd. Angie has a lot to say about the show and among other things we discuss Wallace Greenslade's ripe French accent, the art of piano leg sawing, Anthony Eden and the Cambridge Spies, the ubiquity of Maurice Ponk, Britain claiming ownership of a final piece of soil (well, rock), the launch of Associated-Rediffusion and the technical pitfalls of performing a Goon Show in a pub – not to mention the Goons getting nuked! Please follow on @goonshowpod and rate & review in the right places!

Iain talks to Lord Norton of Louth and the left and career of Sir Anthony Eden, who served as Prime Minister for 22 months between April 1955 and January 1957.
