I århundraden har kloka gubbar och gummor varit en viktig del av folktraditionen. De var landsbygdens botare och siare – människor som besatt kunskap om örter, läkekonst och magiska ritualer. Men vilka var de egentligen? I det här 3,5 timmar långa avsnittet utforskar vi deras fascinerande historia. Hur kunde kloka bota sjukdomar med växter och viskningar? Vad hade de för metoder, och var gick gränsen mellan läkekonst och trolldom? Vi tittar också på hur de bemöttes av sin samtid – respekterade av många samtidigt som de var misstänkliggjorda av andra. Genom arkivens material och uppteckningar får möta mängder av personer som utövade sin klokskap ute i landet. Vilka var de egentligen? Vi får även besök av två fantastiska gäster. Karolina Kouvola, fil.dr. i religionsvetenskap, som lär oss Österbottens kloka gubbar och gummor och av Maria Svartberg, fil.mag i historia, som har skrivit om Kloka Anna från Småland. Följ med på en resa in i folktrons värld där mystik och gammal kunskap vävs samman. Lyssna på berättelser om de kloka som en gång var en självklar del av det gamla allmogesamhället!   Patreon för den som vill stödja oss i vårt poddarbete och ta del av spännande bonusavsnitt: www.patreon.com/narmantalaromtrollen.

GRAPPA MÖTER BEARNAISE. David öppnar nya smakhorisonter genom georgisk, eklagrad druvsprit och läsk smaksatt med dragon. Älskar han Hazelburn fortfarande? Det är faktiskt oklart … Veckans destilleri 12" remix är fina Caol Ila. Vackra lagerhus men destilleriet ser ut som en fabrik, tycker Mathias – som är den enda av oss som varit på plats. Grymt bra sprit kommer vi ändå överens om. När vi ändå pratar Diageo – är egentligen whiskyjättarna bra för branschen? Kloka tankar som drunknar i brain farts. Vad var det i glaset? David drack den galna och inte särskilt trevliga drinken Tarhoun torpedo, Mathias njöt av Finlaggan batch strength och Jeroen hade en 21 YO Ben Nevis från Clydesdale.

Låt oss vara ärliga. Vi gör enormt många provtagningar och undersökningar inom sjukvården, trots att det långt ifrån alltid är motiverat eller gynnar patienten. Konceptet Kloka kliniska val syftar till att fokusera på rätt åtgärder, både för patientens skull och för att hushålla med begränsade resurser. I det här avsnittet diskuterar vi vad Kloka kliniska val innebär, och hur man kan komma igång med det som ett arbetssätt på sin egen klinik.

I Lundströms Bokradio samtalar vi med krönikören och författaren Andrev Walden om hans hyllade debutroman Jävla karlar som handlar om hur han under sju år levde med sju olika pappor. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I boken ”Jävla karlar”, skriven av författaren och krönikören Andrev Walden, skildras författarens egen uppväxt i romanform.I programmet hör vi bland annat om ögonblicket när Andrev Walden som barn inser att den han tagit för given som sin biologiska pappa, inte visar sig vara det, men också om minnena av hur hans mamma under uppväxten blir misshandlad, hur författaren som liten drar sig tillbaka till sitt rum medan de dunkande ljuden från badrummet växer. Hur kärleken till styvfadern vänds till ett komplext hat, där tillgivenheten fortfarande envist ryms.– För mig var mamma skölden mot den här oberäkneliga, märkliga, självupptagna och emellanåt våldsamma människan. Och så var det under hela min uppväxt, kvinnorna var tryggheten, männen var ovädret som drog in.Skriv till oss! bokradio@sverigesradio.seProgramledare: Marie LundströmRedaktion: Märta Kero och Andreas Magnell (producent)

Beskriva eller inte beskriva - det är frågan! Hur ska sjukvården hantera den ständigt ökande mängden avancerade undersökningar, och de bifynd som dessa för med sig? Frågan blir mer och mer aktuell, inte bara för oss radiologer utan för sjukvården som helhet. Vi intervjuar Mathias Axelsson, radiologins representant i arbetsgruppen Choosing wisely, som jobbar med frågan. Hör honom berätta om varför vi alltför ofta gör mer skada än nytta, och om varför "less is more"!

Alla har vi beställt helt onödiga blodprover eller röntgen och utrett patienter orimligt mycket. Varför gör vi så? För att vi som läkare ska känna oss trygga med en bedömning? För att ha tillräckligt på benen för att lägga in? Kunna skicka hem? Vad händer om vi istället diskuterar vad vi inte borde göra? Resonerar med patienten? Hör oss filosofera med Tobias Carlson, tänkare, läkare, akutsjukvårdspionjär i VGR.

The Taft–Hartley Act, is a United States federal law that restricts the activities and power of labor unions. It was enacted by the 80th United States Congress over the veto of President Harry S. Truman, becoming law on June 23, 1947. Taft-Hartley was introduced in the aftermath of a major strike wave in 1945 and 1946. Though it was enacted by the Republican-controlled 80th Congress, the law received significant support from congressional Democrats. The Taft–Hartley Act amended the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), prohibiting unions from engaging in several unfair labor practices. Among the practices prohibited by the Taft–Hartley act are jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns. It also enabled states to pass right-to-work laws which would ban union shops. Although Truman vetoed the Taft-Hartley Act, congress overrode his veto with the required majority needed. The Taft-Hartley Act would continue to generate controversy for some time. However, what would happen if the Taft-Hartley Act never existed? Would the Wagner Act remain unaffected? Or could we see the potential repeal of the Wagner Act as a whole? The Wagner Act guarantees the right for workers to unionize in private industry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to discuss this further, or just want to contact us?

Imperialism is a policy or ideology of extending rule over peoples and other countries,[2] for extending political and economic access, power and control, often through employing hard power, especially military force, but also soft power. While related to the concepts of colonialism and empire, imperialism is a distinct concept that can apply to other forms of expansion and many forms of government. Looking at the empires, profitability was mixed. At first, planners expected that colonies would provide an excellent captive market for manufactured items. Apart from the Indian subcontinent, this was seldom true. By the 1890s, imperialists saw the economic benefit primarily in the production of inexpensive raw materials to feed the domestic manufacturing sector. Overall, Great Britain did very well in terms of profits from India, especially Mughal Bengal, but not from most of the rest of its empire. To understand the scale of the wealth transfer from India from 1765 to 1938 an estimated $45 Trillion was taken. [17] This is 15-times the $3 Trillion (2019) annual GNI of the UK. The Netherlands did very well in the East Indies. Germany and Italy got very little trade or raw materials from their empires. France did slightly better. The Belgian Congo was notoriously profitable when it was a capitalistic rubber plantation owned and operated by King Leopold II as a private enterprise. However, scandal after scandal regarding very badly mistreated labour led the international community to force the government of Belgium to take it over in 1908, and it became much less profitable. Imperialism was a policy that changed the very nature of relations and politics between the different regions of the Earth. It interconnected many economies with each other, but it also resulted in the occupation and suppression of other nations, exploitation of labor and resources, and deadly mistakes. However, especially the British, spent a lot of money propping up the economies of her colonies and making sure that their was good infrastructure to move around the materials. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to discuss this further, or just want to contact us?

First off, we have to talk about the major influence that the tech companies have had on us, especially in the last ten years. I'm pretty sure you can find almost no one in the world who does not know what Apple, Google, Facebook are, even actually Amazon as well. To add on to that, as they've had such a profound impact on society within the past ten years. And nowadays, some are even beginning to even question whether they are monopolies or not. Now, I'm not going to get too much into that. In terms of whether they are monopolies or not, that's not really important. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rohan-parikh7/message

Tea Time Thoughts Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tea-time-thoughts/id1513992448 Leon Trotsky[c] (/ˈtrɒtski/),[2] was a Ukrainian-Russian Marxist revolutionary. He was a Marxist but created a form of Marxism refereed to as Trotskyism. Once in government, Trotsky initially held the post of Commissar for Foreign Affairs and became directly involved in the 1917–1918 Brest-Litovsk negotiations with Germany as Russia pulled out of the First World War. From March 1918 to January 1925, Trotsky headed the Red Army as People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs and played a vital role in the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922.[3] He became one of the seven members of the first Bolshevik Politburo[4] in 1919. After the death of Lenin (January 1924) and the rise of Joseph Stalin, Trotsky gradually lost his government positions; the Politburo eventually expelled him from the Soviet Union in February 1929. Trotsky openly pushed for communism to violently expand to other nations and believed that every nation on earth should be communist. Stalin was more focused on the Soviet Union only compared to Trotsky. In addition, Trotsky was more aggressive. If Trotsky took power after Lenin, instead of Stalin, the world would be in a really different place. The allies would be forced between fighting the Germans, or fighting the red threat. Have a listen and find out more about this world and this alternate timeline. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to discuss this further, or just want to contact us?

Kennedy scored major victories when he won both the California and South Dakota primaries on June 4. He addressed his supporters shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968, in a ballroom at The Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Leaving the ballroom, he went through the hotel kitchen after being told it was a shortcut to a press room. He did this despite being advised by his bodyguard—former FBI agent Bill Barry—to avoid the kitchen. In a crowded kitchen passageway, Kennedy turned to his left and shook hands with hotel busboy Juan Romero just as Sirhan Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian, opened fire with a .22-caliber revolver. Kennedy was hit three times, and five other people were wounded. Kennedy would be pronounced dead 26 hours later at Good Samaritan Hospital and his death was subject to many conspiracy theories like his brother, JFK. Richard NIxon would go on to win the election of 1968. However, what if RFK was not assassinated and went on to win the presidency? How would the country be different? What changes and bills would RFK push for? And how would situations such as Vietnam look under Kennedy instead of Nixon? And the equal rights and pay act?

This episode is going to be a little different. Instead of a standard alternate history scenario, today Nick and Rohan talk about their top 5 senators of all time and why they were on the top 5. In addition, they also go into who they would have liked to see become an American president throughout the history of the United States.

The Holodomor was a famine in Soviet Ukraine from 1932 to 1933 that killed millions of Ukrainians. It was a large part of the wider Soviet famine of 1932–1933. The term Holodomor emphasises the famine's man-made and intentional aspects such as rejection of outside aid, confiscation  of all household foodstuffs and restriction of population movement. It was one of the deadliest genocides in recent history, and one that fundamentally would alter Ukraine-Russian relations. However, what if Stalin did not engage in the act of collectivism and as a result prevented mass starvation and famines in Ukraine? How would the Second World War change? How would the geopolitical situation of Eastern Europe change as a result of this?

Born in Illinois, William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925) became a Nebraska congressman in 1890. He starred at the 1896 Democratic convention with his Cross of Gold speech that favored free silver, but was defeated in his bid to become U.S. president by William McKinley. Bryan lost his subsequent bids for the presidency in 1900 and 1908, using the years between to run a newspaper and tour as a public speaker. After helping Woodrow Wilson secure the Democratic presidential nomination for 1912, he served as Wilson's secretary of state until 1914. In his later years, Bryan campaigned for peace, prohibition and suffrage, and increasingly criticized the teaching of evolution. The Free Silver movement was one of the most important decision made in US history. It would impact the economy for decades and influence future economic decisions that would be made in the future. In our original timeline, the Free Silver movement never passed. However, what would happen if William Jennings Bryan won the presidency in 1896? What would happen with the Free Silver movement now being passed? What would be the economic impacts? Or the cultural and societal impacts?

And Besides that, the factory workers were also threatening to lay off people and shut down factories, actually, if they went out and voted Brian as well. So I think that definitely changed. That definitely a flip state, such as Indiana in favor of McKinley. And also Kentucky is both because Kentucky is kind of locked rust belt state, not rustling. It's kind of located industrial state more so towards the north, like Louisville. But otherwise I'm going to also touch on, for example, you're talking about the Northeast, and that's also the reason why he didn't want California because California is kind of like the home of the Western bankers, in a sense, because the bankers were anti Brian like crazy. And there's also media that was also against William Jennings Brian a sense. And otherwise let's get back on to what States in this area. I think he would honestly do in California and Oregon; which are two Western States. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rohan-parikh7/message

The Second Bill of Rights was proposed by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his State of the Union Address on Tuesday, January 11, 1944. In his address, Roosevelt suggested that the nation had come to recognize and should now implement, a second "bill of rights". Roosevelt argued that the "political rights" guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights had "proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness". His remedy was to declare an "economic bill of rights" to guarantee these specific rights: • Employment, food, clothing and leisure with enough income to support them • Farmers' rights to a fair income • Freedom from unfair competition and monopolies • Housing • Medical care • Social security • Education. These rights have come to be known as basic economic rights, although not to be enshrined within the constitution, the hope of advocating the policy was that it would be 'encoded and guaranteed by federal law'. Although some aspects have the law have been considered and implemented, FDR's idea would have guaranteed employment, farmer's right to a fair income, freedom from unfair competition and monopolies, housing, medical care, social security, and education. It was also called the Economic Bill of Rights and would have been one of the largest spending bills in American history. Today, we discuss what would happen if that bill was passed. How would American society react? How would politicians respond? And how would it impact future foreign and domestic policy? Have a listen and find out! Shout out to Podchaser!

The game has a very lively history and community, so there was plenty for us to use in this episode. But essentially, we take a look at the 168 Days War and wonder, what if, Mensa HQ won the war instead of it ending up in a white peace. This was a really fun scenario to talk about, as we were using a completely different "history".

The Alternate History Podcast. This is season four episode five of the podcast. My name is Rohan and my other cohost here is Nick. And today this is a very special episode. So I would like to say thank you you to Politics and War for sponsoring this episode and giving us the idea for this episode. In fact. So today we're going to be talking about a scenario from the game Politics and War. Before I go on, I would like to introduce you to the game itself. So essentially it's an online, free to play multiple layer game where you play with other real players and have you run actual countries. You can play on Politicsandwar dot com or you can get the mobile app. So they gave us this idea based on the history of the game has had and the war is called the 168 Day War. So the war consists of two alliances led to Mensa HQ and Vanguard. Their goal is to essentially spread their knowledge to what they say less minded and the less intelligent. So it was founded by Cipher on the 31 December 2015 and his goal was to ensure that the wisdom of the collective would spread across the globe. It's led by an autocratic system with five leaders ruling the whole alliance, their ideology and their whole goal in the way that ruling the country is this. In the beginning, there is nothing but sand change without evolution, movement without purpose. Then the sand acquired purpose and that sand purpose was Dio. When Dio came to universe, suddenly all matter acquired consciousness and through his mighty works, the world was formed. The other player in this four is Vanguard. Vancouver is formed between the merge of the Gurler Republic and the Earth Systems Alliance. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rohan-parikh7/message

In today's episode, we talk about one of the Founding Fathers, and the first president of the United States: George Washington. Washington was one of the most influential presidents of the United States. He set the precedence which other American presidents would follow. Now, if we decided to take Washington out of the political picture, what would happen? Would the Union remain? Or would his replacement be able to hold onto the Union? And who would his replacement even be? There are multiple potential candidates, but which one would be the most qualified, and accepted by the American people. And what ripple would this cause throughout American history.

And that is 1789 United States of America, which we just came out of the Shades Rebellion around three years earlier in 1786, as a result of property taxes being way too high in Massachusetts. And the Shades Rebellion really showed and really highlighted the problems of the Articles of Confederation, which was a lack of a strong enough government in order to enforce taxes and commerce, for example. And that's why, for example, we see a lot of the numerator powers to commerce. And this is an example of, for example, like enumerated powers such as the Commerce Clause. And there's also the congressional ability to tax States, and they have the ability to enforce it as well. And so during this time period, the Constitution was authored by James Madison, eventually signed by every state around 1790, with the exception of Vermont, which is a special case because it actually was independent during the time period the Revolutionary War. And so it would only come into the United States around 1793. So this scenario would take out Washington. Let's just say he does not get convinced to run and just says, no, I'm going to stay at home for the rest of my life. What does that bring to the table? Because Washington was a pretty big unifier and a lot of people he was the only one to do it. However, that might not be exactly true. So who do you think would be able to do? Because I'm going to go first here. So I think if we're going to look to who is able to do it, in a sense, I think there's only one realistic point of view we're going to have to have. And I think it's going to be the Federalists. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rohan-parikh7/message

Some might say that horses were fundamental for human civilization to grow and develop to where we are today. Today, in this alternate history scenario on Back to the Past: The Alternate History Podcast, we discuss what would happen if there were no horses in this scenario.

The Great Purge or the Great Terror (Russian: Большой террор), also known as the Year of '37 (37-ой год, Tridtsat sedmoi god) and the Yezhovschina ('period of Yezhov'),[7] was Joseph Stalin's campaign of political repression in the Soviet Union that occurred from 1936 to 1938.[8] It involved large-scale repression of the peasantry; ethnic cleansing; purges of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, government officials, and the Red Army; widespread police surveillance, suspicion of saboteurs and counter-revolutionaries, imprisonment, and arbitrary executions.[9] Historians estimate the total number of deaths due to Stalinist repression in 1937–38 to be between 950,000 and 1.2 million. It resulted in the deaths of countless civilans, experienced officers, and intelligence sources. Essentially, it crippled the Soviet Union for a few years resulting in their near defeat in the German invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II. However, what would happen if the Great Purge never happened? Would the Soviet Union still nearly lose? Or would they crush the German war machine like that? And how would the Western world react? Would Roosevelt still be soft on the Soviet Union and feel sympathetic for them? Or would he treat them with extreme distrust like Churchill did? Have a listen and find out!

The Christmas truce (German: Weihnachtsfrieden; French: Trêve de Noël) was a series of widespread unofficial ceasefires along the Western Front of the First World War around Christmas 1914. The truce occurred five months after hostilities had begun. Lulls occurred in the fighting as armies ran out of men and munitions and commanders reconsidered their strategies following the stalemate of the Race to the Sea and the indecisive result of the First Battle of Ypres. In the week leading up to 25 December, French, German and British soldiers crossed trenches to exchange seasonal greetings and talk. In some areas, men from both sides ventured into no man's land on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to mingle and exchange food and souvenirs. There were joint burial ceremonies and prisoner swaps, while several meetings ended in carol-singing. Men played games of football with one another, creating one of the most memorable images of the truce. Hostilities continued in some sectors, while in others the sides settled on little more than arrangements to recover bodies. This truce would be the really only time a major ceasefire like this occurred. The following year, there were some, but not to the same scale. World War One would become the brutal war it was known for. However, what if, in this scenario, the Christmas Truce brought the participants of the war to the table, in order to negotiate a truce? In this episode, we discuss what would happen if this were to have been the case. From Europe not experiencing a devastating war, to the United States not having their Industrial boom that would result in the Roaring 20's. Want to discuss this further, or just want to contact us?

Russia had established a presence in North America during the first half of the 18th century, but few Russians ever settled in Alaska. In the aftermath of the Crimean War, Russian Tsar Alexander II began exploring the possibility of selling Alaska, which would be difficult to defend in any future war from being conquered by Russia's archrival, the United Kingdom. Following the end of the American Civil War, U.S. Secretary of State William Seward entered into negotiations with Russian minister Eduard de Stoeckl for the purchase of Alaska. Seward and Stoeckl agreed to a treaty on March 30, 1867, and the treaty was ratified by the United States Senate by a wide margin. Despite not having a large population, Alaska has had an enormous impact on the United States. Alaska contains plentiful natural resources, and is also near Russia (important during the cold war). What if Russia had decided to keep Alaska, however? In this episode, we will discuss the effects, from relations with Britain and the US, to what would happen during the Bolshevik Revolution.

The alternative podcast I'm Nick and my other co host is Ron. After two month long hiatus were finally practicing, the more what if of history. But before we get into our newest episode, I must first apologize on behalf of the Back to the Past crew for the untimely ending of season three. And this was due to our chaotic schedules at the time and we just couldn't get together to put out another episode. Nonetheless, today's episode is what if Russia never sold Alaska? So here's some background. Alright, so around the 1730s Russian Hunter started arriving in Alaska to Hunt for fur like for example, sea orders, because during the time they are plentiful through Alaska, no colony was necessarily established, but missionaries were sent. And overall at the end of the day around 700 Russians enforced sovereignty new territory that was twice the size of Texas. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rohan-parikh7/message

The election of 1968 was a big one. Richard Nixon (R), Hubert Humphrey (D), and George Wallace who ran for a 3rd party. Nixon and Humphrey wanted to reach that 270 electoral votes. However, Wallace had a different plan. He wanted to make sure that none of the candidates reached 270 in order to create a stalemate. Using this stalemate, he could push for his radical ideology: the end of desegregation. This, of course didn't really make him very popular in much of the country except for in the South. And it was these states he was hoping to win in order to block the 270 from happening. However, what would happen if Wallace was able to block the 270? Would the country be in chaos? How would the Nixon presidency look like?

The Chinese Civil War (1945-1949) was a military conflict between the Chinese Nationalists (Kuomintang) and the Chinese Communists. Although the Nationalists had the numbers advantage and the resource advantage, the communists were able to defeat them due to the widespread corruption of the Nationalists. Military funds and equipment were inadequately used and the people mistrusted them. Mao Zedong and the communist faction were able to defat the Nationalists resulting in them fleeing to Taiwan. However, what if the Nationalists were able to win the Civil War? How would China look and how would their society look? How would the Cold War look now that China was not communist. Would Korea and Vietnam change? A unified Korea under American South Korean would drastically change the Cold War.

Around the 1960's, computers started to pick up steam. Programs were being made to increase the productivity of different industries and fields. And one fundamental decision was made. The year would be encoded with two digits instead of four. For example, instead of 1965, it would be 65. Around the late 90's, computer scientists started to realize that the computers might interpret the year 2000 as the year 1900. This might not seem like much, but it would result in a massive interruption in the financial system for example. Luckily, governments around the world realized the massive threat this posed and spent billions of dollars fixing all their computers with new software to make sure that no large interruption occurred. However, what would happen if governments didn't spend the money to fix this? Listen now and find out!

The flaw, faced by computer programmers and users all over the world on January 1, 2000, is also known as the "millennium bug." (The letter K, which stands for kilo (a unit of 1000), is commonly used to represent the number 1,000. So, Y2K stands for Year 2000.) Many skeptics believe it was barely a problem at all. When complicated computer programs were being written during the 1960s through the 1980s, computer engineers used a two-digit code for the year. The "19" was left out. Instead of a date reading 1970, it read 70. Engineers shortened the date because data storage in computers was costly and took up a lot of space. As the year 2000 approached, computer programmers realized that computers might not interpret 00 as 2000, but as 1900. Activities that were programmed on a daily or yearly basis would be damaged or flawed. As December 31, 1999, turned into January 1, 2000, computers might interpret December 31, 1999, turning into January 1, 1900. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rohan-parikh7/message

Zheng He was a Chinese explorer who lead seven great voyages on behalf of the Chinese emperor. These voyages traveled through the South China Sea, Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, Red Sea, and along the east coast of Africa. His seven total voyages were diplomatic, military, and trading ventures, and lasted from 1405 – 1433. He gave gifts to many of the natives along the way and traded with them, bringing new items and cultures back to China. However, when the emperor of the time had died around 1422, the new emperor suspended all voyages and expeditions. Now what if, this new emperor did not suspend these voyages. And instead, continued to promoting them and even encouraged exploring east across the pacific. The Chinese would land in North America. What would they do and how would the New World look now with a potential Chinese presence?

On July 8, 1853, American Commodore Matthew Perry led his four ships into the harbor at Tokyo Bay, seeking to re-establish for the first time in over 200 years regular trade and discourse between Japan and the western world. This would change Asia forever as Japan would modernize to become a western like nation. It would industrialize and colonize regions near it such as Manchuria, Korea, and Taiwan. Japan has played a tremendous role in the 20th century, all because of modernization. However, what would happen if Japan refused to industrialize. When Commodore Matthew Perry came to Japan, the Japanese would not adapt western technology and ideas in this alternative timeline. How would this change Japan? How would it affect Japan's relations with its neighbors and its place on the global stage? How would it affect China and its place on the global stage? These questions are some of what we discuss about in this episode of the Back to the Past: The Alternate History Podcast!
