Unlocked after 1 year for patrons only: We review the diplomatic landscape of Europe on the eve of war in the summer of 1914—and then trace the dizzying cascade of events that followed after the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914. We get a handle on the ensuing crisis that ricocheted through embassies, banquet halls, and barracks all across Europe, and plunged all the great powers of the continent into a war that soon spread around the world. Suggested further reading: Christopher Clark, “The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914”; Margaret MacMillan, “The War That Ended Peace: The Road to 1914”; Barbara Tuchman, “The Guns of August.” Image: Photograph of nine kings (George V of Britain seated, center; Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany standing, in red), at Windsor, for funeral of Edward VII of Britain, May, 1910.

Send us a textThis week, we're throwing it back to 1985 and diving into Brothers in Arms—the album that made Dire Straits a household name (and gave us one of the most iconic guitar riffs ever). We're talking Money for Nothing, Walk of Life, moody war ballads, and that smooth, clean production that still hits decades later.We'll chat about how this album ended up being one of the first big digital recordings and why Mark Knopfler's guitar playing feels like butter on a hot biscuit.

Unlocked after 1 year for patrons only: We consider the turbulent history and politics of the country most often blamed for the outbreak of the First World War -- Germany. The youngest of all the combatant nations in World War I, The German Reich's deep class, regional, and religious divides drove Kaiser Wilhelm and his inner circle to seek national aggrandizement abroad as a source of unity at home--which inadvertently led them to unite their rivals against them and dragged them into a war not of their making. Suggested further reading: Christopher Clark, "Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia"; Mary Fulbrook, "A Concise History of Germany."

De 19e eeuw staat alom bekend als een duffe, muffe periode. Maar het is voor prof. dr. Beatrice de Graaf een van de meest interessante periodes in de geschiedenis. In deze aflevering ruim baan voor een hoofdrolspeler uit die tijd: Otto von Bismarck, de IJzeren kanselier waarvoor in het recente politieke debat, met name in Duitsland, hernieuwde belangstelling is. Maar geen enkele partij lukt het om Bismarck geheel toe te eigenen. De ambities van Bismarck, de rol van Pruisen daar in, de oorlogen tegen Denemarken (1864), Oostenrijk(1866) en Frankrijk (1870-1871): prof. Dr. De Graaf opent de deuren naar dit grijze verleden en blaast het nieuw leven in.

Första världskrigets orsaker kan förklaras med nationalism och konkurrens om kolonier. En viktig faktor var de cementerade allianserna som minskade handlingsutrymmet. På samma sätt var den militära planläggningen starkt bindande för de inblandade stormakterna. Kopplade till planerna var även mobiliseringssystem som direkt kom att utlösa mobiliseringsbeslut av rädsla för att inte hinna i tid före ett fientligt anfall.Mest känd av de militära planerna var den tyska Schlieffenplanen från 1905 som på många sätt dikterade det tyska agerandet under de avgörande dagarna under den så kallade svarta veckan i juli 1914.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden inleder Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved en serie om första världskriget. I flera avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden har konflikter behandlats som är viktiga för förståelsen av det som hände sommaren 1914.Lyssnarna uppmanas att inte minst ta del av poddavsnitten om Preussiska-Österrikiska kriget 1866, Fransk-tyska kriget 1870-71, Boerkriget, Balkankrigen 1912-13, Ryska-japanska kriget och Fashodakonflikten 1898. På olika sätt förklarar de bakgrunden till första världskrigets utbrott.Den 28 juni 1914 föll de berömda skotten i Sarajevo som dödade den Österrikiske-Ungerska tronföljaren Franz Ferdinand och hans gemål. Mordet satte igång en diplomatisk kedjereaktion och inledde en kris som en dryg månad kastade in Europa och världen i ett krig utan tidigare motstycke.Skulden för första världskrigets utbrott har lagts lite olika. I enlighet med Versaillesfredens skuldparagraf lades skulden på Tyskland. Det upprepades mycket tydligt av den tyska historiker Fritz Fischer på 1960-talet och kopplades då samman med andra världskriget. En motsatt uppfattning uppträdde redan under mellankrigstiden som ifrågasatte att Tyskland ensam bar skulden. Helt nyligen har den australienske historikern Christopher Clark framhållit i sin bestseller The Sleepwalkers att de europeiska ledarna agerade isolerat utan tillräcklig information. Som sömngångare ramlade de in i ett krig som de kanske inte riktigt insåg skulle bli slutprodukten av deras beslut. Skulden för krigsutbrottet måste därför delas av alla ledare i de europeiska stormakterna 1914.Bild: Berlins befolkning på Moritzplatz läser tillkännagivandet om mobiliseringen som börjar den 2 augusti 1914, Wikimedia Commons, Bundesarchiv, Bild 183-S32538 / CC-BY-SA 3.0Klippare: Emanuel Lehtonen Hosted on Acast.

What has made discrimination against the Jews different from other kinds of violent prejudice over the course of European history? How did the ‘Jewish Question' become the battleground of German politics? Why do so many Christians have a love-hate relationship with Judaism?

In 1960, Lady Bird Lake was built by the city of Austin. The river-like reservoir was created as a cooling pond for Austin's then-new city power plant. The 416-acre lake is now primarily used for recreation, but many in the area are now concerned is it the hunting ground for a killer. There have been multiple deaths reported since 2022. Two more reported in past days. Even though police have given no indication there are signs of foul play, social media has lit up with speculation. According to the San Antonio Current, rumors of a serial killer hunting young men and dumping their bodies in Lady Bird Lake ran rampant last April. That's when Police recovered the bodies of Jason John, Clifton Axtell, Jonathon Honey, and Christopher Hays-Clark — all between the ages of 20 and 40 and all recovered from Lady Bird Lake. Reegan Aparicio says she has no doubts that her longtime boyfriend Chris Hays-Clark was placed in Lady Bird Lake. The dental nurse says despite police assurances that there was no foul play in Hays-Clark's death, she believes he was already dead when he went into the water. Despite family concerns, Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon says, "Nothing has come to light that would indicate that there is a serial killer in Austin."

In today's episode about seemingly good ideas gone badly wrong David talks to the philosopher and journalist Kathleen Stock about Facebook Friends, something that was meant to make us happier and better connected but really didn't. How did online friendship become so performative? Does its failings say more about Facebook and its business models or does it say more about us? And why are academics so susceptible to the madness of social media?For ad-free listening and bonus episodes – including more bad ideas – subscribe to PPF+ www.ppfideas.comNext time on The History of Bad Ideas: historian Christopher Clark on Antisemitism Hosted on Acast.

In 1960, Lady Bird Lake was built by the city of Austin. The river-like reservoir was created as a cooling pond for Austin's then-new city power plant. The 416-acre lake is now primarily used for recreation, but many in the area are now concerned is it the hunting ground for a killer. There have been 10 deaths reported since 2022: four in 2022, five in 2023, and one in the past few days. Even though police have given no indication there are signs of foul play, social media has lit up with speculation. According to the San Antonio Current, rumors of a serial killer hunting young men and dumping their bodies in Lady Bird Lake ran rampant last April. That's when Police recovered the bodies of Jason John, Clifton Axtell, Jonathon Honey, and Christopher Hays-Clark — all between the ages of 20 and 40 and all recovered from Lady Bird Lake. Reegan Aparicio says she has no doubts that her longtime boyfriend Chris Hays-Clark was placed in Lady Bird Lake. The dental nurse says despite police assurances that there was no foul play in Hays-Clark's death, she believes he was already dead when he went into the water. That sentiment, according to DailyMail, is shared by others who have lost loved ones to the lake. Jason John's parents also believe there is more to his disappearance and his former roommate believes he was drugged. Martin Gutierrez's brother says he believes Martin was murdered in 2018. Despite family concerns, Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon says, "Nothing has come to light that would indicate that there is a serial killer in Austin." Aparicio says she believes the Austin Police Department is failing her and the other Lady Bird Lake victims' families.

Historiansplaining: A historian tells you why everything you know is wrong
In the age of absolutism, France had towered over European life and politics -- the only nation that was a major land power on the Continent and a colonial metropole with an overseas empire at the same time. Yet by 1900, tossed about by repeated revolutions and coups and torn asunder by often petty internal culture wars, France was falling behind its rivals to become almost a second-rate power. Once the Radical Party rode the Dreyfus Affair into government, they had to rush to reposition France to try to take advantage of the tensions and instability in the Balkans, and prepare the nation to possibly face off once more against their archrival across the Rhine -- Germany.
