Podcasts about sir francis drake

Sir Francis Drake was one of the many Buccaneers that roamed the shores of North America on behalf of Queen Elizabeth I in the late 1570s. He was an English explorer, sea captain, privateer, slave trader, Elizabethan naval officer, and politician. He is best known for his circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition, from 1577-80. This included his incursion into the Pacific Ocean, until then an area of exclusive Spanish interest, and his claim to Nova or New Albion for England, an area in what is now the U.S. state of California.

For centuries, Sir Francis Drake has been celebrated as a national hero - the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe. But behind the Drake legend, was there a darker reality of violence and exploitation? Were his attacks on Spanish galleons and settlements acts of imperial bravery - or state-sanctioned piracy? What happened to the enslaved people Drake transported? And how did he justify the execution of his own shipmate?Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Dr. Richard Blakemore to take a fresh look at Drake's voyages and uncover the brutal truths often left out of the history books.Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

En 1587, Philippe II d'Espagne lance une offensive spectaculaire pour renverser Elizabeth Ière et restaurer le catholicisme en Angleterre. À la tête d'une flotte colossale de 130 navires et 30 000 hommes, il veut écraser l'anglicanisme par la force. Mais face à lui, une Angleterre plus rusée que puissante, menée par la redoutable Reine Vierge et son corsaire Sir Francis Drake. Entre stratégies navales brillantes, coups de théâtre et tempêtes fatales, cette tentative d'invasion se transforme en échec cuisant. Pourtant, l'histoire officielle enjolive beaucoup cette victoire britannique… Derrière la légende, une réalité bien plus nuancée. L'Invincible Armada ne fut pas totalement anéantie, et les ambitions de l'Espagne ne s'éteindront pas là. Retour sur un choc de civilisations, de religions et d'ego. Une page majeure du destin européen.

Sara Caputo"Sentieri sull'acqua"Le origini della cartografia e la nuova immagine del mondoTouring Club Italianohttps://www.touringclubstore.com/it/prodotto/sentieri-sull-acqua-15332Le mappe non rappresentano il mondo come lo vediamo, ma come lo immaginiamo.Una carta geografica non descrive la realtà, la ricrea.La cartografia moderna nasce, come Venere, tra le onde del mare. Quando lo scafo di una nave fende l'acqua, del suo passaggio non permane che l'effimera spuma. Oceani e mari non conservano memoria dei transiti umani in superficie, sono le mappe a tracciarne le rotte. Disegnando complesse trame di linee, schiacciando il globo su un'innaturale bidimensionalità, rendendo solido ciò che è liquido, concreto quel che è impalpabile. È così che il mondo è diventato leggibile, navigabile, dominabile. Sulla scia di questa suggestione Sara Caputo, brillante storica di Cambridge, invita a viaggiare alle origini della cartografia, raccontandone le avventure e gli intrecci, dalle imprese di Cristoforo Colombo alle moderne tecnologie di tracciamento delle correnti oceaniche, incrociando rotte favolose da Odisseo ad Achab, da Sir Francis Drake a James Cook. Un saggio dal felice passo narrativo, che rivoluziona per sempre il nostro modo di guardare alle mappe.Sara Caputo è Senior Research Fellow al Magdalene College di Cambridge.

Med en stor armada om 130 skepp och 20 000 soldater skulle Filip II av Spanien erövra, England och återinföra katolicismen. Från Flandern skulle ytterligare soldater föras över till det brittiska öarna. Världens mäktigaste flotta skulle krossa allt engelskt motstånd i Engelska kanalen och bana väg för invasionen. Men det blev inte så.Engelsmännen ledda av sin drottning Elisabet och med befälhavare som Sir Francis Drake och Sir Thomas Howard förhindrade landstigningen. I stället för ett intåg i triumf i London slutade allt med en spansk katastrof. Mer än 50 fartyg förliste och kom aldrig hem. Hälften av soldaterna och sjömannen på de spanska fartygen omkom.I detta avsnitt av Militärhistoriepodden berättar Martin Hårdstedt och Peter Bennesved om en av de klassiska marinoperationerna i Europas historia.Konflikterna mellan Spanien och England handlade om flera saker. Engelsmännen hade under Elisabets far Henrik VIII valt att frånsäga sig katolicismen och skapa en ny statskontrollerad anglikansk kyrka. Den katolska tronpretendenten Mary Queen of Scots avrättades och genom släktband kom Filip III av Spanien att kunna hävda rätt till den engelska tronen. Stödda av bland annat påven skulle England erövras och Elisabet störtas.Dessutom hade engelska örlogsfartyg bedrivit piratverksamhet mot spansk handel i Karibien under befälhavare som Sir Francis Drake. På detta skulle det nu bli ett slut. Till detta kan läggas av engelsmännen länge stött upproret mot spanjorerna i Nederländerna vilket naturligtvis Filip II ville förhindra. Spanien ville återta de norra delarna av sina besittningar i Nederländerna och krossa upproret ifred utan inblandning.Kärnan i den spanska armadan var de stora örlogsfartygen som hade höga överbyggnader och mängder av soldater ombord för att kunna äntra och erövra motståndarnas fartyg. På samma sätt som under slaget vid Lepanto 1571 mot osmanerna var det en äntringsstrid som spanjorerna förväntade sig och som de var överlägsna på. Men engelsmännen hade under ledningen av bland annat Sir John Hawkins utvecklat sina örlogsfartyg och sin taktik mot att undvika äntringsstriden. I stället hade de engelska fartygen långskjutande kanoner och var bättre anpassade för strid på avstånd. Striden mot armadan 1588 utgör på flera sätt en vändpunkt i sjökrigföringen. Årtiondena efter Armadans misslyckande 1588 kom sjökrigföringen att genomgå en omfattande utveckling som inte minst engelsmännen skulle bli leda.Spanjorerna höll samma sin flotta när de närmade sig de brittiska öarna. De var skickliga på att segla i formation. Engelsmännen å sin sida inlät sig inte äntringsstrid utan besköt de spanska fartygen på distans. Ett sorts dödläge inträffade där ingen av kombattanterna kom åt varandra för ett avgörande. Spanjorernas plan att hämta soldater från Nederländerna misslyckades eftersom det var omöjligt att få soldaterna över Engelska kanalen så länge som den engelska flottan var intakt och kunde hota. Spanska armadan tvingades inse att den inte kunde lösa sin uppgift. Befälhavaren hertigen av Medina Sidonia måste desperat föra flotta hem via en rutt norr om de brittiska öarna. Det som slutligen beseglade armadans öde var stormarna norr om de brittiska öarna. Minst 30 fartyg förliste på den irländska kusten.Bild: Den spanska armadan av Jan Luyken, 1679, Wikipedia, Public Domain.Om man vill läsa något mer om Spanska armadan kan Rupert Matthew bok The Spanish Armada.

Ching Shih, born as Shi Yang, was quite possibly the most powerful pirate of all time. While famous UK pirates like Blackbeard, Black Bart, Calico Jack, Sir Francis Drake, or Captain Kidd get much more name recognition, none of them ever commanded a confederation of pirates up to 80,000 men strong, with around 2,000 ships.

Lindsay is joined by fellow history buff Josh Scott to discuss the life of English privateer, Sir Francis Drake, as well as his Instagram series, Redbeard's Relics, History Roundtable YouTube series, and his family business, Commodore Coins. From his profile on PodMatch: I have always been passionate about history but never saw it as anything more than far off stories that I could never see a real piece of outside of a museum. That is, until I started doing a serious amount of research and found I could source any number of real relics and antiques from just about any period of human history. I started Redbeard's Relics to just share pictures and videos of what I found and thought some people might think it was as cool as I do. Never did I think I would have multiple millions of people watch my content, and have a consistent 300-500k people watching every month. I pride myself on filling in the gaps in our history books that we all learned from in school. I share artifacts you never heard of, ranging vastly in price from very cheap, to multi-million dollar items from across history. I make many of these pieces available to people to purchase and have formed a very successful business around it all! I travel the world sourcing rare treasures from auctions, private sellers, as well as directly from museums who are looking to raise funds for other endeavors. If it exists, I can likely source it and share it's full story. This in turn has brought me dozens of high profile clients who want that treasure that no one else has. Above all however, I care about the history. I strive to preserve history, one relic at a time and share it's history for the next generation.

Bienvenidos a otro podcast de "Aventura Sonora" aquí en TERRAESCRIBIENTE. En esta ocasión vamos a escuchar "DESCONOCIDO: La Traición de Drake" Episodio Dorado de Terraescribiente. En el corazón de una taberna de sombras y secretos, Nathan Drake y Victor "Sully" Sullivan entraron en una danza de palabras y promesas con Talbot, un hombre de sonrisa afilada y ambiciones aún más punzantes. La joya en juego no era cualquier baratija: era el anillo ancestral de Nathan, legado de Sir Francis Drake, cargado con la historia de siglos y el peso de las aventuras de su legendario antepasado. Sin embargo, la negociación pronto reveló su verdadera naturaleza: una trampa urdida con precisión. De las sombras emergió Katherine Marlowe, una figura cuya elegancia sólo era superada por su crueldad. Esta vieja adversaria, maestra de la manipulación y líder de un enigmático culto, había urdido el encuentro. Talbot no era más que una pieza en su tablero. El anillo, lejos de ser una reliquia común, era clave para descifrar un astrolabio que prometía guiar a sus poseedores hacia la mítica Ubar, la Atlántida de las Arenas, una ciudad perdida que desde tiempos inmemoriales había desafiado a los buscadores más grandes, desde Sir Francis Drake hasta Lawrence de Arabia. Ahora, el destino volvía a señalar a Nathan y su leal compañero Sully. La ruta hacia Ubar prometía riquezas inimaginables, pero también peligros que sólo la arena del desierto y los susurros del pasado podían encerrar. Su misión no era una mera búsqueda; era un enfrentamiento contra el tiempo, los enemigos y los fantasmas de la historia.

In association with our friends at Digital-Life-Design (DLD), Europe's iconic annual tech conference which next January celebrates its twentieth anniversary, we are starting a series of conversations with DLD speakers looking back over the last twenty years. First up is Silicon Valley entrepreneur, speaker and author John Hagel, who talked, quite openly, about his lifelong fear of fear and how he's cured himself of this affliction over the last two decades.John Hagel III has more than 40 years' experience as a management consultant, author, speaker and entrepreneur. After recently retiring as a partner from Deloitte, McGraw Hill published in May 2021 his latest book, The Journey Beyond Fear, that addresses the psychology of change and he is developing a series of programs to help people navigate through change at many levels. John has founded a new company, Beyond Our Edge, LLC, that works with companies and people who are seeking to anticipate the future and achieve much greater impact. While at Deloitte, John was the founder and chairman of the Silicon Valley-based Deloitte Center for the Edge, focusing on identifying emerging business opportunities that are not yet on the CEO's agenda. Before joining Deloitte, John was an independent consultant and writer and prior to that was a principal at McKinsey & Company and a leader of their Strategy Practice as well as the founder of their E-Commerce Practice. John has served as senior vice president of strategy at Atari, Inc., and is the founder of two Silicon Valley startups. John is also a faculty member at Singularity University where he gives frequent talks on the mounting performance pressure created by digital technology and promising approaches to help traditional companies make the transition from a linear to an exponential world. He is also on the Board of Trustees at the Santa Fe Institute, an organization that conducts leading edge research on complex adaptive systems.

We're starting a new series on KEEN ON in association with my dear friends at the DLD conference. It's an annual conference held each year in Munich. My view? Certainly the best tech conference in Europe, if not in the world. And in January 2025, they're celebrating their 20th anniversary. And in association with DLD, we're talking to some of their most notable speakers about their experiences over the last 20 years. We're beginning with an old friend of mine, John Hagel, a very distinguished author, futurist. His last book was called The Journey Beyond Fear, and John spoke at DLD '16 about narratives and business. And I began our DLD KEEN ON conversation with John Hagel by asking him to cast his mind back to January 2005.HAGEL: In January 2005, I was working as an independent consultant in Silicon Valley. I'd been there for 25 years already. I was fascinated with the degree to which digital technology was exponentially improving, and I was being aggressively recruited, at the time, by a large consulting firm, Deloitte, that wanted me to join. I was a bit resistant. I turned them down four times because I didn't want to go work for another large consulting firm. I'd been a partner with McKinsey before that, but ultimately they prevailed. They persuaded me that they would help me create a new research center that would be autonomous, even though it was part of Deloitte and it was really focused on trying to understand the long-term trends that are reshaping the global economy and what the implications are for people. And that was my passion, and I'm very grateful that I was able to pursue that.KEEN: What was the global economy, John, like in 2005?HAGEL: It was definitely becoming more and more connected. It was going through fundamental change even at that stage. I've come to call it "the big shift," but basically, some long-term trends that were playing out were creating mounting performance pressure on all of us. One form of pressure was intensifying competition on a global scale. Companies were competing with companies from around the world. Workers were competing with workers from around the world. So there was a lot of intensifying competition. The pace of change was accelerating. Things you thought you could count on were no longer there. And then, as if that weren't enough, all the connectivity we were creating...a small event in a faraway place in the world quickly cascades into an extreme, disruptive event. So it creates a lot of performance pressure on all people. And we were just in the early stages of that. I think we're actually still in the early stages of "the big shift." A lot more to come.KEEN: What was it, John, about "the big shift?" It was your term, is still, I think, one of the best terms to describe the first quarter of the 21st century. What both most worried and excited you about "the big shift" in 2005? Back then, not today.HAGEL: Well, at the time, I was starting to realize that fundamental change was going to be required in all companies, all organizations, governments, universities. And I was worried that that would be a challenge, that not many people really embrace that kind of change, and so how do you get people to make that transition? But on the other side, I was excited about the fact that the changes that we were seeing—I love paradox. And one of the paradoxes of the big shift is, I mentioned the mounting performance pressure as one of the trends and the big shift. Another trend was exponentially expanding opportunity. We can create far more value with far less resource, far more quickly, given all the connectivity that's been created. So the excitement was that if we understood the changes that were happening and were willing to make the changes, we could create value that would have never been imagined before.KEEN: Back in 2005, John, what were the lessons of the past that we were trying to correct? History obviously always changes. Today, in 2025, we seem to be wanting to learn from, perhaps, 2005. But what were we reacting against in 2005?HAGEL: Well, frankly, I think we're still reacting against it. But in 2005, the way I describe it is all new large institutions around the world, not just companies, but again, governments and universities and foundations, all the large organizations around the world were built on a model that I call scalable efficiency. The key to success is becoming more and more efficient and scale. Do things faster and cheaper. And hard to argue, because for over a century that model of scalable efficiency gave us all the global, large institutions we know around the world today. So, a huge success with that model. The challenge is that in a rapidly changing world, scalable efficiency becomes more and more inefficient. We're not able to respond to the changes that are going on. We're just focused on doing what we've always done faster and cheaper. So I think that's an interesting dilemma that we were confronting in 2005 and frankly still confronting.KEEN: Were there organizations in particular back in 2005 that captured what you call this paradox of the great shift?HAGEL: Yes. I think that one of the things that I was focused on—I wrote a number of books in the past 20 years, three books. And one of them was called The Only Sustainable Edge. And it was a notion that in a world of more rapid change, we need to focus on what I call scalable learning. And learning not in the form of sharing existing knowledge, not in the form of training programs, but learning in the form of creating new knowledge as we confront entirely new situations and figure out how to create value in those situations, and do that throughout the organization, not just in the research department or the product development group, but every department needs to be focused on scalable learning. And part of that, it's how do you reach out and connect with broader networks of third parties, rather than just try to do it all yourself inside your organization? And in that context, I was looking at companies in a very large part of the developing world, China, for example. There were companies that were pursuing really innovative approaches to scalable learning in global networks, where they were connecting in global networks and focusing on driving innovation and learning throughout the network. So that really inspired me with the notion that this is not only possible but necessary.KEEN: John, one of the words that I always associate with your name is is "the edge." You popularized it, you were part of a group that focused on researching the impact of edge technologies in organizations. Why is this word "the edge" so important to making sense of the last 20 years?HAGEL: Well, I actually founded the Center for the Edge, and it took me a while to get Deloitte to approve the title because they said, wait a minute, you're either the center or you're the edge. How can you be both? And again, I love paradox, but in the context of the question about what do we mean by edge, it was the belief that if you're looking for change that's coming into the world, start by looking at edges. It could be geographic edges, developing economies. It could be demographic edges, younger generations coming into the workforce or into the marketplace. It could be edges across disciplines and academic world, many different kinds of edges. But it's venture out into those edges and look for emerging things that have the potential to scale and become really significant as change agents. And I think that that's what drove us to really do our research, was to find those edges and learn from the edge.KEEN: What did you believe in, John, in 2005, or is that an inappropriate question?HAGEL: What did I believe in? Well, I believe that again, digital technology is a key catalyst, changing the world. As was mentioned, I've been in Silicon Valley for many decades, but I've also, while I've been based here in Silicon Valley, I've been working with large organizations around the world, so I've got a global perspective as well as focusing on the digital technology and how it's driving change. But I think it was a notion that, again, we are seeing some significant change that's happening. But I think that one of the things that I came to realize over time, because I was so focused on these opportunities and things that were emerging around the world and the need for change and the need for transformation. And I was encountering significant resistance from leaders of organizations and from people within the organization. When I talked about the need for change and transformation. And the thing that I learned, and has become a real focus for my work now, is rather than just focusing on strategy and business, focus on emotions. Focus on the emotions that are shaping our choices and actions. And one of the things I came to realize was that in a world of rapid change, the emotion of fear becomes more and more prevalent. And fear? Well, it's understandable. I think there are reasons for fear in a rapidly changing world. It's also very limiting. It holds you back. You become much more risk averse. You erode trust in other people. You don't want to look out into the future. You just want to focus on today. You need to find ways to move beyond the fear and cultivate other emotions that will help you to have much more impact that's meaningful to you and others. And that's become a real focus for me, is how do we make that journey beyond the fear? It was my most recent book is The Journey Beyond Fear, because I've come to believe that psychology and emotions are really the key that's going to determine how we move forward.KEEN: That was very personable, John. And I know that you've had a lot of experience of fear in your own personal life as well as in a professional context. Do you think one of the narratives, perhaps the central story for you over the last 20 years, has been overcoming fear?HAGEL: Yes. Well, I think that it certainly was a period of change for me and helped me to really reflect on how much the emotion of fear had been driving my life. But at the same time, I began to see that there were things that had really excited me throughout my life. And while they were quite different, you know, my first book was in 1976, and it was on alternative energy technologies. A little bit early, but throughout my life I had been excited about certain things, like alternative energy technologies, and when I stepped back and reflected, well, was I just shifting all over the place to different things, or was there a common element in all of these? I began to realize that what really excited me, and where my passion was, was in looking into the future and seeing emerging opportunities and helping to make people aware of those opportunities and ultimately motivate them to address those opportunities. And that was my passion and really helped me to overcome my fear, even though there's still fear there, it's never fully eliminated. But it's what really kept me going and keeps me going today.KEEN: Your 20-year narrative, John seems to have been pretty successful. You've learned a lot. You've published a lot. You succeeded in many ways. But that personal narrative, is that reflected in the world itself? It seems in some ways, certainly according to the pessimists who seem to be dominant these days in our zeitgeist, the world is taking a step back. If John Hagel took a step forward between 2005 and 2025, the world has taken a step back. Is that fair?HAGEL: No, I think it's very fair. I think that if I had to generalize, and obviously generalizations need some qualification, but generalizing, I would say that over the past 20 years, the emotion of fear has become more and more prevalent around the world. At the highest levels of organizations, lowest levels out in the communities. And again, while I think it's understandable, I think it's a very limiting emotion, and it's creating more and more challenge for us in terms of: how do we really embrace the change that's going to be required and capture the opportunities that are available to us? So I think that it's become a real focus for me and again, was the motivation for me to write the book The Journey Beyond Fear. I'm wanting to help people, first of all, acknowledge the fear, because I think many people don't even want to admit that they're afraid. And we live in cultures where if you say you're afraid, you're a weakling. But acknowledge the fear, recognize its limits, and find ways to move forward beyond it. And that's what I'm focused on now.KEEN: Is that fear, John, has it been most clearly manifested over the last 20 years in politics, particularly in the growth of liberal populism, which, in many people's views, you may or may not agree with it, is the way in which politicians take advantage of the culture of fear?HAGEL: It's complicated. I think there are factors that are helping to intensify the fear. A bit controversial or provocative. But I actually, in the United States, I believe both sides of our political spectrum are equally guilty in the sense that they have both focused on what I call "threat-based narratives," the enemies coming together. So, we're all going to die. We need to mobilize now and resist, or we're going to die. The enemy differs depending on which side you're on, but it's all about the threat. The enemy feeds the fear. And you look at our news media and challenge people to say, Tell me, when was the last time you heard a good news story? It's all about the latest catastrophe. Somewhere in the world where people have died and more are going to die. And so I think that there are factors that are feeding the fear, unfortunately, and making it an even more challenging emotion to overcome.KEEN: John, you spoke at DLD in 2016, and the focus of your talk was on storytelling, on the narrative of fear, on telling a good story. Is that the key to addressing so much of the fear in the world today, is telling a different story?HAGEL: Well, I have to be careful because I use words with different meanings than most people do. When I when I say narrative, most people say, you're talking about stories. Yeah, we know about stories. No, I believe there's an important distinction between stories and narratives. So for me, stories are self-contained. They have a beginning, a middle and an end to them. The end, the stories over. And the story is about me, the storyteller, or it's about some other people, real or imagined. It's not about you. In contrast, for me, a narrative is open ended. There's some big threat or opportunity out in the future. Not clear whether it's going to be achieved or not. And the resolution of the narrative hinges on you. It's a call to action to say, your choices, your actions are going to help determine how this narrative plays out. And again, I believe we've become increasingly dominated around the world by threat-based narratives. When we look into the future, there are huge threats, big challenges. Who's focused on the really big opportunities, inspiring opportunities, that could bring us all together? And what amazing things we could accomplish. So, I have become a strong believer that what I call opportunity-based narratives can become a powerful catalyst to help us move beyond the fear and start to cultivate an emotion that I call the passion of the explorer, that will help people to really have much more impact in a rapidly changing world.KEEN: In thinking about this alternative narrative, I'm thinking about it perhaps in architectural terms. Might we imagine this to be storytelling from the edge, or at least an architecture, a narrative architecture, which is built around the edge rather than some imaginary center?HAGEL: Well, again, I want to make the distinction between stories and narratives. I'm talking about narratives.KEEN: Right. Your idea of a narrative is more profound. It's deeper than the way most of us think about narratives. I take your point.HAGEL: Yes, I want to be explicit about that because—and not to dismiss the power of stories, I think stories can be very useful as well. But in making The Journey Beyond Fear—one of the things I should mention is, I've studied, throughout history, movements for social change in different parts of the world, different periods of history. And one of the things that I think is interesting is, the most successful movements for social change around the world throughout history, have been driven by what I describe as an opportunity-based narrative. The leaders were focused on a really inspiring opportunity that could bring people together and excite them. Just one small example that many people here in the U.S., at least, are familiar with is Martin Luther King's speech in Washington, D.C., "I Have a Dream." Amazing things we could accomplish. And yes, there are obstacles and barriers, absolutely. But the focus was on the opportunity of coming together and achieving amazing things.KEEN: John, you and I have talked about this before. Perhaps the most influential modern philosopher is Thomas Hobbes, 17th-century author of Leviathan. He made fear, and I think in many ways his theory of the world was built around his life, he was a very fearful man, and he didn't think fear was a bad thing. He actually thought it was a good thing for humans to recognize the value of fear. I don't want to revisit Hobbes. I know you're not a political philosopher, but at the same time, is there value to fear? Does it have any value at all, or your view, do we really need to simply overcome it and move beyond it?HAGEL: No. No. I am not in any way suggesting we will eliminate it. I believe fear is something that's intrinsic. And an example I give—and this ties to another emotion I mentioned briefly, passion of the explorer. I've come to believe that if we're really going to achieve significant impact in a rapidly changing world, we need to cultivate a very specific form of passion, the passion of the explorer. And I've studied this in many different domains, but one interesting domain is extreme sports. I've spent a lot of time with big wave surfers. Interesting thing, if you talk to a big wave surfer as they're paddling out to ride the next big wave, they're afraid. They know that people have not only fallen off their board, but have died riding those waves. So they're afraid, and they're using the fear to focus on what are the risks, how can I manage the risks? But they are paddling with Excitement. To get out, to ride that wave. They're not letting the fear dominate them. And so I think that's the interesting dynamic and relationship that needs to be established, to use the fear to focus on the risks. But don't let it stop you from making significant change.KEEN: You've clearly learned a great deal over the last 20 years, John. Do you have any regrets, though? Have you made mistakes? Are there things you wish you'd done that you haven't?HAGEL: You know, I think that it's complicated. I do believe that the big mistake in the early days was really focusing so much on the opportunities that were being, created and not recognizing the role of emotions in preventing us from addressing those opportunities. And so it's led to a significant shift in my life and my thinking and my work around...and I'm not ignoring the opportunities, I'm continuing to explore the opportunities. But at the same time, I'm really focused on how we address the obstacles and barriers that are preventing us from getting to those opportunities. And that's where I'm spending more and more of my time.KEEN: When we think back to 2005, most of the same big tech companies were around. Amazon, Google, Microsoft. Facebook was just beginning. There was a very positive, broadly, outlook on tech those days. Today, in 2025, things have changed dramatically. Is that fair, do you think?HAGEL: Well, again, it's complicated. I think that this is one of the areas where fear is really demonstrating itself, anything large and big. One of the big issues that I see, it's not just tech, by the way, I mean, there are surveys around the world that...our trust in large institutions around the world is eroding at a very rapid rate. And when I say this to people that they nod their heads. They've all seen the surveys. Very few people that I know of have asked the question, why? What's driving that erosion of trust? And I believe I've come to believe, based on the research I've done, that a big factor is fear, the emotion of fear, which leads to erosion of trust. And so we need to really understand, why are we so fearful and what can we do to address it? And I don't want to dismiss, I think there are issues, too, in terms of, and I'll just mention quickly, in technology, one of the big issues with the large tech companies is they tend to be supported by advertising models and commission-based models, where they're being paid by the advertiser and the vendors, and the user of the technology, you're the product. And so I think more and more people are beginning to realize that a tech company's primary loyalty is not to you as the user, it's to the people who are paying all the bills. So, I think there are reasons for erosion of trust. But I do think that we need to recognize that fear is a significant factor as well.KEEN: Have you changed your own view of the potential of technology over the last 20 years? You've been in Silicon Valley for a long time, John. You're one of the most distinguished, respected people. You're not a billionaire type, so you're not just a drum beater. But at the same time, you're a man who's not just naturally negative and skeptical. Do you think you're more or less optimistic and positive about the impact of tech, particularly big tech, on the world today in 2025 than you were in 2005?HAGEL: Good question. I think that I'm by nature an optimist, so I'm always looking at opportunities in the future. And I think that technology can still produce amazing new opportunities. One of the interesting things to me—it's not getting as much attention as I think it should is the role of technology innovation in biology and health and wellness. Helping us to live longer, healthier, better lives. And I think we're just in the earliest stages of that technology being developed. But rather than technology being outside us, technology is increasingly going to be inside us and helping us to lead much fuller lives. And so I'm very optimistic about that. And I do believe that the world is changing at a rapid rate, and I'm a believer that we're going to see major new technology companies emerge. And a lot of the current technology leaders will be disrupted and cast to the side. So, more change to come.KEEN: Are there individuals over the last 20 years who have, in your mind, captured the spirit of the age? When one thinks of Elon Musk, for example, he seems to be someone immune from fear. For better or worse—he's not always the most popular man in the world, certainly the richest man in the world. But are there men—and they tend to be men, perhaps women—over the last 20 years, who, for you, have captured all the best and, perhaps some of the worst, of world history in this first quarter of the 21st century?HAGEL: Wow. Well, in that context, I want to answer the question I get from a lot of people since I've been in Silicon Valley for so long is: how do you explain the continued success of Silicon Valley for so many decades? And most people, when confronted with that question, will say, well, it's the venture capitalists, it's the universities, it's the infrastructure. No, I believe that the success of Silicon Valley is being driven by an opportunity-base narrative, which is fundamentally—we have exponentially expanding digital technology that can enable us to change the world for the better. But it's not going to happen automatically. You need to come to Silicon Valley. Will you come? It's the reason why the majority of successful entrepreneurs and Silicon Valley—most people don't know this—the majority of successful entrepreneurs were not born in the United States, much less in Silicon Valley. They were drawn here from all over the world. And it's because they were driven by, again, a very specific passion that I call the passion of the explorer. And that's where they're excited about new territory and are excited about venturing out on the edges, excited about finding ways to have more and more impact that's meaningful to people. And I think that's really been a continuing driver of success in the Valley. KEEN: John, you live in the North Bay, just north of San Francisco, over the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. This part of the world was discovered by one of the great explorers in world history, Francis Drake. And there's a wonderful bay not too far from where you live called the Drake Bay. I've walked around there. Is this concept that you introduced called the "explorer," is it a feature of Western civilization? Is Sir Francis Drake, or was Sir Francis Drake, an early example of this?HAGEL: You know, I wouldn't say Western civilization. I would say of humanity in general. I mean, again, I think that one of the things that I continually hear from people is fear is what helped us stay alive and made us human. And my response to that is, well, if we were completely driven by fear, we would still be living in the jungle, hiding from the tigers and the lions. What happened? We had a desire to explore and to see new things and to try new things. And it led to the emergence of agriculture civilizations around the world. And it was a process of exploration, but it really motivated a number of people so that they would move out and make progress. And I think we're just still exploring.KEEN: I mentioned, John, you talked about DLD in 2016. I know you're a big fan of the event, Europe's top innovation—I wouldn't call it a summit, it's a gathering of influencers like yourself. Over this last 20 years, the American economy has, for better or worse, marched ahead, and Europe has become increasingly stagnant. The German economy, the EU's economy, the United Kingdom's economy...In your view, is an important development over the last 20 years...has Europe—broadly, I know you can't talk about all individuals—but has Europe lost the inspiration of exploring that you're such a believer in?HAGEL: You know, I'm not sure I would generalize about Europe as a region in that regard. I think there are interesting parts of Europe that are doing some very interesting and innovative things. And so I think the challenge is that, again, we live in a world, a global economy, where competition is intensifying on a global scale. And Europe in general has failed to really respond effectively to that and maintain ways of of creating more and more value in that kind of world. So again, I'm an optimist, and I'm hopeful that people will see that potential. But right now, what I'm seeing in Europe and the rest of the world is the emotion of fear holding people back and saying, no, no, let's just hold on to what we have and find ways to make it through. And unfortunately, I think that's the wrong the wrong response.KEEN: I know it's easy to return to 2005, and it's impossible in practice. But had you gone back to John Hagel in 2005, do you think you'd be surprised by the power of the American innovation economy and the relative weakness of the European one?HAGEL: That's a good question. I'm not sure. I wasn't really forecasting particular geographies as areas that would grow and areas that wouldn't grow. I did see, again, an expanding global economy wherein there is increasing competition from other parts of the world, non-European, non-U.S., and so the challenge was how do we respond to that? And that's the issue that we're facing.KEEN: That's the issue indeed, we are facing, John. You and I are talking in November of 2024 in anticipation of the DLD 20-year anniversary of their event in January 2025. Where are we in late 2024 in the world? How would you summarize our situation?HAGEL: Well, again, I think it's a paradox. I think at one level, the situation is very unfortunate in the sense that the emotion of fear is dominating every country in the world. I don't see any countries where it's really the excitement and passion that's driving people. But on the other side, I also see the technology and trends in the world are creating more and more opportunity to to create value at exponential levels. And so I'm, again, an optimist and I'm hopeful that we can find ways to move beyond the fear and see the opportunities and pursue them and create the value that's there to be created.KEEN: I didn't see that fear, certainly in Silicon Valley, John, with the billions of dollars now going into the AI economy, to the booming biotech sector and the other technology sectors that you've talked about. Is there fear, in Silicon Valley, do you see it?HAGEL: Well, again, I think Silicon Valley stands out because many, if not all, the entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley were drawn here by passion and excitement to create more and more value. And yes, they have fear. If you talk to them, they're afraid the startup could collapse next month. Their customers could go away. But they're driven by that excitement of having that kind of impact. And I think that's what explains the continued success of Silicon Valley. But it stands out as one of those few areas where passion, and specifically, again, the passion of the explorer—and I haven't gone into detailed definition of what I mean by that, but it's based on research—that passion of the explorer that will help people to move beyond the fear and achieve impact that's much more meaningful to them.KEEN: John if we'd been talking in 2005, I don't suppose you, or most analysts of the Future of the Edge, whatever you want to describe it, would have brought up AI as being central. Today, of course, it's all anyone talks about in late 2024, early 2025. If you put your futurist on, and you've mentioned biotech...there are other technologies which have the potential to take off, quantum, for example. What technology do you think is most underrated in terms of imagining the next 20 years?HAGEL: Well, again, I would probably go to biotech as the area that is not getting as much attention as it should, because I believe it has the potential. There is an expression in Silicon Valley, "the longevity escape velocity." It's this notion that with this technology, we will be able, ultimately, to basically live forever. We won't have to worry about dying. And not just living forever, but being healthy and more vibrant and flourishing more than we've ever flourished in the past. And I think that's being underestimated as a potential driver of significant change in our lives and in our society.KEEN: Some people will hear that, John, and be very fearful of that. And lots of novels and stories and music have been made suggesting that if we live forever, life will become a nightmare. We'll be bored by everything and everyone. Should we, in any way, be fearful of that world you're describing?HAGEL: And again, you know, sure, if we're going to live our lives in fear for an eternity, yes, we should be afraid of living our lives in fear. But I believe as human beings, we all have within us the potential for that passion that I described, the passion of the explorer, which is never ending. No matter how much impact you achieve, if you're pursuing that passion, you're driven to have even more impact. What can I do to have even more impact? And excited about it and fulfilled by it. This is nourishing. I think people who have this passion will want to live forever. They will be excited to live forever. And we all have the potential to find that passion within us. By the way, I would just say we I get a lot of pushback. Yes, John, come on. Some of us are capable of this passion, but most of us just want to be told what to do and have the security of an income. My response is, let's go to a playground and look at children 5 or 6 years old. Show me one that doesn't have that kind of excitement about exploring and coming together and trying new things, seeing the things. We all had it as children. What happened to us? We went to school and we were taught by the teacher, "Just listen to the teacher. Memorize what the teacher has to say and show on the exam. So you've memorized it." I've studied the US public school system. It was explicitly designed to prepare us for work environments where the key was just to read the manual, follow the manual, do what's assigned. Passion is suspect, passionate people ask too many questions. Passionate people deviate from the script, they take too many risks. Why would you want passionate people? Just get people who will do their job. And so I think, back to your question about AI, again, I think there is obviously a lot of fear about AI. And one of the reasons for the fear is when I talk to executives, senior executives, about AI, I get two questions. First, how quickly can I automate with AI? And secondly, how many jobs can I eliminate with AI? It's all about scalable efficiency, faster and cheaper. I believe the role of AI is to help us become human again. To take away all of that work, the routine tasks, highly standardized, routine tasks that most of us do on a daily basis, and free us up to actually explore and find ways to create new value and have impact that's meaningful to us. That's exciting.KEEN: If you're right, John, if the next 20 years are ones where there is a profound biotech revolution—and we may not live forever, but certainly will live longer and longer lives—what do we need to address? Seems to me as if one area would be inequality, given that already in America, the difference between how long people live in on the coasts, in California or New York, are quite different from the hinterland. Does this concern you, if indeed you're right? What are the the biggest threats and challenges in a world where longevity is the central reality?HAGEL: Now, again, you talk about threats and challenges. I would talk about opportunities. The opportunities are to help everyone achieve more, to help them all find their passion, help them all find ways to earn income from their passion and achieve more impact that's meaningful to them and to others. And yes, there are issues like inequality, climate change, all the rest, limited resources in the world. But I believe with technology and innovation, we can overcome all those obstacles and achieve amazing results for everyone.KEEN: Finally, John, you're naturally an optimist. So, for me to ask you to put on your rose-tinted glasses might be slightly inappropriate, but if you were to think most positively about the future, in 20 years' time in 2045, if DLD celebrates its 40th anniversary, what kind of world could this be? Imagine the best kind of world. Would it be like a giant kindergarten? Like people are running around and excited all the time before the teachers got their hands on it?HAGEL: You know, my belief is that if we can really unleash this passion and excitement about driving change and creating more value, that we can create a world where every living thing flourishes. Not just human beings, not just animals, plants, every living being flourishing in ways that would have been unimaginable 20 years earlier, because we're all creating an environment that helps us to flourish. And to me, that's what's really the potential and exciting.KEEN: Do you think the next 20 years will bring more change than the previous 20 years?HAGEL: It's going to bring a lot of change. I suspect it's going to be even more change, because we're talking about exponential change and change exponentially increases over time.KEEN: Well, John Hagel, who spoke at DLD in 2016, a great friend of the conference, a real honor, John, and a pleasure. And I hope we will meet again in 2045 to see whether or not you were right. Thank you so much.HAGEL: Excellent. Thank you. This is a public episode.

Welcome to Monday Night Live! From Pirate Adventures to Restoring Lost Treasures: Hidden History on Monday Night Live Description: In this week's episode of Monday Night Live, host Derek Arden welcomes longtime friend and former colleague, Godfrey Lancashire. With a fascinating background that spans banking, international hockey, and private investigation, Godfrey dives into a unique passion project he's undertaken: the discovery and restoration of a historic 16th-century artifact, once lost to time. Join Derek and Godfrey as they journey back to England's Elizabethan era, exploring swashbuckling adventures, historic landmarks, and a shipwrecked Spanish warship that played a surprising role in English history. Summary: Introducing Godfrey Lancashire: Banker, Investigator, and HistorianDerek Arden kicks off the episode by introducing his guest, Godfrey Lancashire, whose career is as varied as it is remarkable. After beginning in banking and playing an instrumental role as captain of the United Banks hockey team, Godfrey transitioned into private investigation, where he developed a knack for uncovering stories both hidden and forgotten. Today, he has become deeply involved in restoring a significant relic from Elizabethan England—one that speaks to his passion for history and adventure. A Dive into Elizabethan England: The Golden Age of ExplorationGodfrey takes viewers on an imaginative journey back to the Elizabethan era, a time of cultural and academic flourishing as well as daring maritime pursuits. Queen Elizabeth I, a strong proponent of education, saw the rise of scholars and explorers like William Shakespeare, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Walter Raleigh. It was an age where piracy was romanticized, and many individuals embarked on "noble" adventures on the high seas. Godfrey shares stories of exploration and commerce, where the spoils of piracy sometimes funded noble pursuits—one of which is the very school Thomas Hardy helped establish in Dorchester. Thomas Hardy's Legacy: A Pirate's Treasure TransformedGodfrey introduces Thomas Hardy, a “squire and pirate” from the small village of Frampton in Dorset, England. Hardy's adventures brought him wealth, which he used in 1569 to establish a school for boys, today known as Thomas Hardy School. This institution served as a pioneering educational center, and for centuries, it safeguarded a unique artifact: a beautifully carved wooden screen salvaged from the Spanish ship San Salvador, a ship that was once part of the Spanish Armada. Rediscovering a Lost Artifact: The Restoration of the San Salvador ScreenThis impressive wooden screen, standing at four meters high, was kept in Hardy's school building until it was transferred to new premises in 1927. Eventually, the screen was moved again but was sadly misplaced during a recent school theater renovation. Godfrey shares how the screen nearly ended up lost forever—discarded in a salvage yard—until an astute conservator recognized its historical value. Thanks to the conservator's sharp eye and dedication, the screen was carefully reassembled, piece by piece, with the support of the local community and generous donations. Preserving History with Passion: The Efforts Behind the Screen's RestorationGodfrey explains the meticulous restoration process, in which thousands of fragments were pieced back together like an intricate jigsaw puzzle. With expert knowledge, the team confirmed the screen's authenticity through materials testing, and the restored screen is now displayed in its former glory. The team has also uncovered fascinating details, including engravings and notes on the screen's reverse side, which offer glimpses into England's maritime past. Looking to the Future: Ensuring the Screen's Place in HistoryIn the final part of the interview, Godfrey speaks about the plans for the screen's future. Though originally housed in the school, discussions are underway to permanently display it at the Weymouth...

HISTORY A TO Z (6) - Concluding our two parter on subjects beginning with the letter D, we discuss the Roman Emperor Diocletian, the Domesday Book, Sir Francis Drake and D-Day.

Sir Francis Drake (c. 1540 – 28 January 1596) was an English explorer and privateer best known for his circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition between 1577 and 1580. This was the first English circumnavigation, and second circumnavigation overall. He is also known for participating in the early English slaving voyages of his cousin, Sir John Hawkins, and John Lovell. Having started as a simple seaman, in 1588 he was part of the fight against the Spanish Armada as a vice-admiral.

For our last week of reviewing Eisner Nominees we reviewed, Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons. In the 1500s, before humanity had successfully traveled the entire globe, it was believed that monsters ruled the oceans just beyond the horizon. "Here there be dragons..." was written on maps to denote the areas people dared not go. That is, until Sir Francis Drake circumnavigated the seas, visiting foreign lands and collecting treasure. That's what history tells us, at least, but history does not have the full tale. Monsters did lurk yonder, living on an island that still doesn't appear on any map, and among them was the king of them all-Godzilla!

Renée and Don. The New Albion story continues here in part two of Renée DeLuca and Don Barkley's visit to Brew Ha ha with Steve Jaxon and Herlinda Heras. Part one of today's show, with Renée DeLuca as the featured guest, is on this other podcast episode. Herlinda Heras' father is also in the studio with us today. Don Barkley was on Brew Ha Ha three weeks ago on this episode of June 27. Today he is back to meet Renée and to bring some of Jack McAuliffe's New Albion Ale that he has brewed for the Beer Garden event this Saturday. Don was studying fermentation science at UC Davis when he asked his professor, Dr. Michael Lewis, how he could get a job in the brewing industry. Professor Lewis told him he would have to cut his hair. Don didn't like that idea so the professor suggested he contact Jack McAuliffe, who wouldn't care about long hair. Jack was known for coming to the library and going over all the books about brewing, although he was not enrolled. Don tells the story of going to Sonoma to meet Jack, who initially refused Don. But when Don came back he talked to Susie Dennison and made a deal to work for a case of beer a week. Don still has the recipes. Russian River Brewing Co. will have three race cars on display at their Windsor pub, on Wednesday, July 24. Two top fuel dragsters and one funny car and drivers, will be there to greet visitors. It's a promotion for the NHRA Sonoma Nationals that are taking place at Sonoma Raceway on July 26-28. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. New Albion Pale Ale Kevin Lovett is the brewer at Wolfhouse Brewing Co. He is also the son of Michael Lovett, Don's dearest friend. Michael and Don both started at the New Albion brewery together. Now they are brewing the old recipe at Kevin's brewery. Kevin Lovett was a guest on Brew Ha Ha on June 9, 2022, here is the episode page. In that interview with Harry Duke and Herlinda Heras, we hear about how Kevin literally grew up at Mendocino Brewing Company. Jack McAuliffe has a name for today's beers flavored with ingredients like cinnamon or cardamom. He calls them hula hoop beers, which is hilarious. See our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. Albion is the name of Britain in ancient Greek and t is also a poetic name for Britain. Sir Francis Drake sailed on his ship The Golden Hind and was the first European to sail into San Francisco Bay. The Golden Hind is the ship on the New Albion Pale Ale label. The best place to get a taste of the New Albion Pale Ale is at the Museum of Sonoma County Summer Beer Garden. It's open from 4-8pm, $15 general admission, ample shady parking available across the street.

La armada invencible nunca fue llamada así por España. Para España simplemente era la “Grande y Felicísima Armada”. Esta armada fue enviada, tras un largo periodo de guerra fría entre Inglaterra y España, para apresar a la reina Isabel I y entronizar a María Estuardo a fin de reponer el catolicismo en aquellas tierras. El Imperio en el que nunca se ponía el Sol, sufrió una derrota debida a varios factores y no solo a los elementos, como así se quejó posteriormente Felipe II. La “Armada Invencible”, conocida en España como la “Grande y Felicísima Armada”, fue una flota naval organizada por el rey Felipe II de España en 1588. Este despliegue marítimo tenía como objetivo principal la invasión de Inglaterra para restablecer el catolicismo y derrocar a la reina Isabel I. La campaña se convirtió en uno de los episodios más célebres de la historia marítima, tanto por su ambición como por su catastrófico desenlace. Contexto Histórico En el siglo XVI, España se había convertido en la potencia hegemónica de Europa, sustentada por las riquezas provenientes de sus colonias en América y una formidable flota naval. El reinado de Felipe II (1556-1598) fue testigo de numerosos conflictos, incluyendo la resistencia protestante en los Países Bajos y la rivalidad con Inglaterra. La reina Isabel I de Inglaterra, defensora del protestantismo, apoyaba a los corsarios ingleses que atacaban a los barcos españoles y brindaba apoyo a los rebeldes protestantes en los Países Bajos, territorios bajo dominio español. Las tensiones se intensificaron tras la ejecución de María Estuardo en 1587, quien era considerada por muchos católicos la legítima reina de Inglaterra y una aliada potencial para Felipe II. Esta ejecución proporcionó al monarca español el pretexto final para lanzar una campaña militar directa contra Inglaterra. Preparativos de la Armada La Armada Invencible se compuso de alrededor de 130 barcos y transportaba unos 30,000 hombres, incluidos soldados, marineros y personal auxiliar. La estrategia era doble: la flota debía navegar desde Lisboa hasta el Canal de la Mancha, donde se uniría con las fuerzas del duque de Parma en los Países Bajos. Juntas, estas fuerzas debían cruzar a Inglaterra, desembarcar y llevar a cabo la invasión. Composición de la Armada 1. Galeones: Los galeones eran los principales buques de guerra, fuertemente armados y diseñados para combates navales. 2. Galeras: Barcos impulsados por remos, utilizados principalmente para maniobras rápidas en el combate cercano. 3. Transporte de tropas: Buques que llevaban a bordo soldados, caballos y equipo necesario para la invasión terrestre. Liderazgo El mando de la flota fue asignado al duque de Medina Sidonia, Alfonso Pérez de Guzmán. A pesar de su estatus noble y experiencia en asuntos administrativos, Medina Sidonia carecía de experiencia naval, una elección que reflejaba la política y la jerarquía cortesana de la época más que la competencia militar. El Viaje de la Armada La Armada partió de Lisboa en mayo de 1588, pero enfrentó dificultades desde el inicio debido a tormentas y problemas logísticos. En julio, la flota llegó al Canal de la Mancha, donde fue recibida por la marina inglesa, comandada por Sir Francis Drake y Charles Howard, el conde de Nottingham. Los ingleses, con barcos más pequeños y maniobrables, emplearon tácticas de guerrilla naval, atacando la formación española con “brulotes” (barcos incendiarios) y cañonazos desde una distancia segura. Estos ataques causaron confusión y dispersión en la flota española. La Batalla de Gravelinas El 8 de agosto de 1588, la Armada enfrentó a los ingleses en la Batalla de Gravelinas, cerca de la costa de Flandes. El combate resultó desastroso para los españoles, que no pudieron romper la línea inglesa ni reunirse con las tropas del duque de Parma. Los ataques continuos, combinados con problemas de abastecimiento y la falta de coordinación, obligaron a la Armada a retirarse. Retiro y Desastre Incapaz de regresar por el Canal de la Mancha, Medina Sidonia optó por rodear las Islas Británicas, navegando hacia el norte y luego hacia el oeste, a través de las turbulentas aguas del Atlántico Norte. Durante este regreso, la flota sufrió severas pérdidas debido a las tormentas y la falta de mapas precisos para las costas de Escocia e Irlanda. Muchos barcos naufragaron o se desviaron de su curso, y de los 130 barcos originales, solo alrededor de la mitad lograron regresar a España. Consecuencias La derrota de la Armada Invencible tuvo repercusiones profundas: 1. Declive de la hegemonía española: Aunque España siguió siendo una potencia europea, su prestigio y su dominio marítimo comenzaron a declinar. 2. Aumento de la moral inglesa: La victoria fortaleció el prestigio de Isabel I y consolidó la identidad nacional inglesa. 3. Impacto económico: La pérdida de barcos y hombres, junto con el costo del equipamiento y mantenimiento de la Armada, tuvo un impacto significativo en las finanzas españolas. 4. Cambio en la guerra naval: La batalla destacó la efectividad de tácticas de guerrilla y la importancia de la maniobrabilidad en el combate naval, influenciando las futuras estrategias marítimas. Perspectiva Historiográfica La imagen de la “Armada Invencible” como un fracaso total ha sido matizada por la historiografía moderna. Aunque la campaña no logró su objetivo de invasión, la resistencia mostrada por los barcos y tripulaciones bajo condiciones adversas también es reconocida. La empresa demostró las limitaciones logísticas y estratégicas de la guerra naval en la era premoderna y ofreció lecciones valiosas para futuros conflictos marítimos. Conclusión La Armada Invencible, a pesar de su nombre grandioso, se convirtió en un ejemplo clásico de los riesgos y desafíos de la guerra naval del siglo XVI. Su fracaso no solo reconfiguró el poder político y militar en Europa, sino que también dejó una marca indeleble en la memoria histórica, simbolizando la complejidad de las ambiciones imperiales y la imprevisibilidad de la guerra. En resumen, la “Armada Invencible” es recordada tanto por la magnitud de su empresa como por la magnitud de su fracaso, un testimonio perdurable de la lucha por el poder en la Europa renacentista.

How did England's upstart navy devastate the mighty Spanish Armada? Why did the loss upset the global world order for the next 350 years? And as the world's most powerful, richest man, how annoying must King Philip II have been for Queen Elizabeth I to not let him put a ring on it?   Links To Further Yer Book-Learnin'   Queen Elizabeth I (1533–1603) was Queen of England and Ireland for 45 years. She was cray-cray for Sir William Raleigh, but remained a virgin her whole life. Or so the Royal Marketers say.   King Philip II (1527–1598), also known as Philip the Prudent, was a real resume padder: King of Spain; King of Portugal; King of Naples and Sicily; jure uxoris King of England and Ireland; Duke of Milan; and Lord of the Seventeen Provinces of the Netherlands. His dad still wasn't impressed.   Charles Howard (1536–1624), was known as Lord Howard of Effingham. Was this because of his royal title, or a love for ham, or a reputation for over-acting?   Sir Francis Drake (1540–1596) was an English explorer, privateer, and naval hero who circumnavigated the world from 1577 to 1580. But if you're signing up for the Drake Disciples fan club, he also joined in slaving voyages, soooo…   Hernán Cortés de Monroy y Pizarro Altamirano (1485–1547) was a Spanish conquistador who's synonymous with the saying “burn your ships.” Which might explain why there's no Cortes Caribbean Cruises.   Ferdinand Magellan (1480–1521) was the Portuguese explorer who planned and led the first circumnavigation of the planet. Flat-Earthers are not fans.   The Habsburg Monarchy ruled big chunks of Europe from 1282 to 1918. The family dynamic was super-juicy, and ripe fare for a telenovela.   The Portuguese Empire (1415-1999) was made up of overseas colonies, factories, and territories. By the early 16th century the empire stretched across every continent that didn't have a South Pole.   The Holy Roman Empire was officially the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. But for its almost 1,000 years, only geeks called it that.   The Ottoman Empire, better known as the Turkish Empire, spanned much of Southeast Europe, West Asia, and North Africa from the 14th to early 20th centuries. It could have ruled more, but its leaders kept stopping to put their feet up.   Martin Luther (1483–1546) was the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation as the author of the Ninety-Five Theses. Apparently nobody told him he only needed to write one to finish his undergrad.   The encomienda was a Spanish labor system that rewarded conquerors with the labor of non-Christian peoples. The laborers were supposed to benefit from the conquerors' military protection, who made them an offer they couldn't refuse.   The British Royal Navy fought the French-Spanish fleet in The Battle of Trafalgar on Oct. 21, 1805. Outnumbered and outgunned, Lord Nelson steered his ships into the enemy fleet's flank in a brilliant maneuver. This earned him a 20-0 ship-sinking rout, and later to H.I. history expert Matt Roberto's man crush.   The Age of Exploration (15th to 17th Century), a.k.a The Age of Discovery, mostly overlapped with the Age of Sail. Can you historians just pick a name, already?

Get your DEMYSTICON 2024 tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/demysticon-2024-tickets-727054969987 The true identity of the person who wrote Shakespeare's plays has long been debated. At least 87 potential authors - from Daniel Defoe to Sir Francis Drake to Anne Hathaway to Sheikh Zubar - have been proposed as candidates, but all of these proposals suffer from the same problem - they don't quite fit the historical facts and so have to be stretched, ill fitting, to even be considered. Only one of the theories seems to make sense in context of history and biography, and it is that the true author of the plays was Sir Thomas North, soldier, lawyer, and translator. Returning guest Dennis McCarthy is joined by journalist Michael Blanding and author Derek Hunter for a conversation about uncovering the true identity of Shakespeare, the life and times of Thomas North, and the tangled thread of politics, philosophy, and liberty that stretches from the printing press to ChatGPT by way of the Old Globe.

Joe Kelly is professor of literature and the director of Irish and Irish American Studies at the College of Charleston, and the author of Marooned: Jamestown, Shipwreck, and a New History of America's Origin.  In addition to Marooned, in 2013 Joe published America's Longest Siege:  Charleston, Slavery, and the Slow March Towards Civil War, which details the evolving ideology of slavery in America. He is also author of a study of the Irish novelist James Joyce, censorship, obscenity, and the Cold War (Our Joyce:  From Outcast to Icon). This conversation, which was great fun, covers a whole range of topics familiar to longstanding and attentive listeners, but with a new and provocative perspective.  We talk about John Smith, Sir Francis Drake – who literally takes up a chapter in Joe's book – the Sea Venture wreck, the role of the commoners in the struggle to survive on Bermuda, and the political philosophy of Stephen Hopkins, the one man to spend years in Virginia and then go on to sail on the Mayflower as a Stranger among the Pilgrim Fathers.  Was Hopkins the moving force for or even the author of the Mayflower Compact, and the true original English-American political theorist?  Finally, we have it out over the fraught question, as between Jamestown and Plymouth, which of our founding mythologies most clearly reflects the American we have become?  Joe brings a new and fascinating perspective to that timeless argument.

Welcome to the first "true crime" episode of the History of the Americans Podcast, the story of Oscar Hartzell and the Sir Francis Drake estate scam, perhaps the most audacious con of the 1920s, the great golden age of the confidence man. Hartzell swindled as many as 200,000 Midwesterners, many from my own state of Iowa, out of millions of dollars posing as the rightful heir to the lost estate of Sir Francis Drake. Eventually, it would drive him insane, at least as adjudged by the director of the behavioral clinic of the criminal court of Cook County, Illinois. Enjoy!

In this episode, I am joined by internationally renowned conservationist Ian Redmond who has more than 45 years of experience ranging from field research to developing anti-poaching policy for the United Nations. Ian is the Head of Conservation at Ecoflix and is an ambassador for the UN's Convention on Migratory Species.  Ian takes me on a journey through his work to protect endangered species including working with Dian Fossey on creating the film Gorillas in the Mist and being the first to introduce Sir David Attenborough to gorillas back when he was just David. We talk about Ian's trip around the world following Sir Francis Drake's circumnavigation of the globe and taking a detour into Kenya to find the only elephants that are known to go deep into caves to mine salt.  Ian gives us insight into how ecotourism helps endangered species by creating ecological parameters to preserve natural habitats while increasing anti-poaching efforts. We discuss what people can do in their day-to-day lives to help endangered species thrive and continue to exist, and Ian inspires me to want to meet, learn about, and respect the world's most vulnerable animals while respecting and protecting their natural habitats.

La piratería en el Caribe durante los siglos XVI al XVIII fue una época de intensa actividad, marcada por conflictos, saqueos y batallas en las aguas de esta región. Os expongo los aspectos más destacados de la piratería en el Caribe durante ese período: Siglo XVI: Primeras incursiones: A fines del siglo XVI, corsarios y piratas europeos comenzaron a atacar las colonias españolas en el Caribe en busca de tesoros, especialmente oro y plata. Francis Drake: El pirata inglés Sir Francis Drake realizó incursiones notables en la región. En 1586, lideró un ataque exitoso contra la ciudad de Santo Domingo y en 1595 saqueó la ciudad de Cartagena. Siglo XVII: Guerra de los Ochenta Años: Durante la Guerra de los Ochenta Años entre España y los Países Bajos, los corsarios neerlandeses atacaron las colonias españolas en el Caribe. La figura más destacada fue el pirata holandés Piet Hein. Piratas famosos: A principios del siglo XVII, surgieron nombres notables como Henry Morgan, un pirata galés que saqueó varias ciudades, incluyendo Portobelo y Panamá. También destacó el francés François l'Olonnais. Tratado de Utrecht (1713): Después de la Guerra de Sucesión Española, el Tratado de Utrecht en 1713 reconoció la soberanía británica sobre la isla de La Española (dividida entre Francia y España) y otorgó a los británicos derechos de asiento en la región. Siglo XVIII: Auge de los filibusteros: Los filibusteros, como el famoso Bartholomew Roberts y Edward Teach (Barbanegra), se hicieron conocidos por sus audaces actos de piratería en el Caribe y a lo largo de la costa de América del Norte. Declive de la piratería: A medida que avanzaba el siglo XVIII, la piratería en el Caribe comenzó a declinar. Las potencias europeas intensificaron sus esfuerzos para combatir la piratería, y las colonias adoptaron medidas más efectivas para protegerse. Actuaciones militares: La Marina Real británica y otras fuerzas navales realizaron operaciones para erradicar la piratería. La captura y ejecución de piratas notorios contribuyó al declive de la actividad. Aunque la piratería en el Caribe disminuyó a finales del siglo XVIII, su legado perduró en la cultura popular y en numerosas leyendas, siendo tema recurrente en libros y películas. La figura del pirata se ha convertido en un símbolo romántico y a la vez temido de esa época tumultuosa en la historia del Caribe. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antena Historia te regala 30 días PREMIUM, para que lo disfrutes https://www.ivoox.com/premium?affiliate-code=b4688a50868967db9ca413741a54cea5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produce Antonio Cruz Edita ANTENA HISTORIA Antena Historia (podcast) forma parte del sello iVoox Originals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- web……….https://antenahistoria.com/ correo.....info@antenahistoria.com Facebook…..Antena Historia Podcast | Facebook Twitter…...https://twitter.com/AntenaHistoria Telegram…...https://t.me/foroantenahistoria DONACIONES PAYPAL...... https://paypal.me/ancrume ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¿QUIERES ANUNCIARTE en ANTENA HISTORIA?, menciones, cuñas publicitarias, programas personalizados, etc. Dirígete a Antena Historia - AdVoices Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Mariana-Cecilia Velazquez's book Cultural Representations of Piracy in England, Spain, and the Caribbean: Travelers, Traders, and Traitors, 1570 to 1604 (Routledge, 2023) examines the concept of piracy as an instrument for the advancement of legal, economic, and political agendas associated with early modern imperial conflicts in the Caribbean. Drawing on historical accounts, literary texts, legal treatises, and maps, the book traces the visual and narrative representations of Sir Francis Drake, who serves as a case study to understand the various usages of the terms "pirate" and "corsair." Through a comparative analysis, the book considers the connotations of the categories related to maritime predation—pirate, corsair, buccaneer, and filibuster—and nationalistic and religious denominations—Lutheran, Catholic, heretic, Spaniard, English, and Creole—to argue that the flexible usage of these terms corresponds to unequal colonial and imperial relations and ideological struggles.

Gabriele D'Annunzio was an Italian writer, journalist and poet who wrote himself irrevocably into history in 1919. In the chaotic aftermath of World War One, D'Annunzio led a small band of irregular Italian forces to the Free City of Rijeka (Italian name Fiume), and seized it in the name of Italian irredentism. D'Annunzio proclaimed the Free City to be the new Italian Regency of Carnario, with himself as Comandante and Duce. My guest's stories about what happened in The Regency of Carnaro during its short existence make Anthony Burgess' descriptions of London in A Clockwork Orange sound gentile, with sex, drugs and a glorification of violence impossible to ignore.Though the Regency quickly fell apart, D'Annunzio's bombastic political style rolled the pitch for the fascist takeover of Italy in 1922, with Benito Mussolini proclaiming D'Annunzio "The John the Baptist of Italian fascism". My guest today is Lucy Hughes-Hallett. Lucy is a British historian who has written books about a variety of different historical figures, including Cleopatra, Sir Francis Drake, Achilles, and our subject today. Her book on Gabriele D'Annunzio is The Pike, for which Lucy won the 2013 Samuel Johnson Prize for Nonfiction, and the Costa Book Award.

It connects the southwestern part of the Atlantic Ocean (Scotia Sea) with the southeastern part of the Pacific Ocean and extends into the Southern Ocean. The passage is named after the 16th-century English explorer and privateer Sir Francis Drake. The Drake Passage is considered one of the most treacherous voyages for ships to make. Currents at its latitude meet no resistance from any landmass, and waves top 40 feet (12 m), hence its reputation as "the most powerful convergence of seas". (Wikipedia)

During his voyage around the world in 1577-1580, Sir Francis Drake captained a ship named the Golden Hinde. On this ship lived a woman named Maria, whose plight we only know about because of a record kept by an anonymous sailor who mentions her in one line of a manuscript currently housed at the British Museum in London. The line is short, but the history it references is immense. The line reads ““Drake tooke… a proper negro wench called Maria, which was afterward gotten with child between the captaine and his men pirates, and sett on a small iland to take her adventure.” Some historians believe that Shakespeare was inspired by this report to write the character Sycorax in his play The Tempest, since Sycorax is also an African woman, abandoned by sailors on an island while heavily pregnant. Here today to share with us the history of Maria, her story, and how much we can learn about whether her plight overlaps that of Shakespeare's play, is our. Guest, and author of On Wilder Seas, the book that imagines what Maria's story might have been based on the history we can know about her.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Send us a Text Message.In 1586 Sir Francis Drake arrived off the coast of present day North Carolina with a massive fleet, ships heavy with Spanish gold and riches he'd stolen privateering in the Caribbean, South America, Florida. He came to check in on the Roanoke colony - a group of 108 Englishmen who had set up a fort on the North end of Roanoke Island, part of North Carolina's Outer Banks. He came bearing these stolen gifts to give to the colony he thought was surely flourishing by now. He found them in bad shape and whisked them back to England to save them from near certain death. But did you know, Drake had more than gold and silver aboard his ships? He had a reported 500 enslaved Africans and Indigenous South Americans that he had also stolen from the Spanish. Did you know that when he returned to England, 400 of them were missing? And did you know that despite the fame and infamy of the English Lost Colony that would disappear a year later, there may have been a whole nother lost colony left behind by Drake that no one even cared to look for? Let's fix that. Sources:"The Head in Edward Nugent's Hand" by Michael ObergWashington Daily News "The People Left Behind"Smithsonian Magazine "Did Francis Drake Bring Enslaved Africans to North America Decades Before Jamestown?"Family Tree Magazine "The Mystery of the Melungeons"Support the show! Buy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaine

People love hearing about the swashbuckling adventures of pirates, who have been heralded and romanticized in popular culture for centuries. Although most are familiar with iconic names such as Blackbeard, Sir Francis Drake, Henry Morgan, and Captain Kidd, many will not have heard of perhaps the most badass female pirate of them all, Grace O’Malley. … Continue reading Episode 356 LIVE: Grace O’Malley, Irish Pirate Queen

Let's face it: No one actually knows where the famous English privateer and explorer spent the summer, and his notes, upon his return, were deliberately opaque. But it's possible that his “Nova Albion” was on the Oregon Coast.

This is a fun one, especially for fans of Sir Francis Drake! Longstanding and attentive listeners will remember Melissa Darby as the author of the 2019 book, Thunder Go North: The Hunt for Sir Francis Drake's Fair & Good Bay, which was the primary source for our episode “Novo Albion and Drake's Legacy,” which goes back to early December, 2021.  It wouldn't hurt to listen or (re)listen to that episode before this one, but I don't think it is essential.  Another way might be to go back and listen to it after you have heard this interview.  In the interview Melissa and I talk about the documents discovered by two women scholars, Zelia Nuttell and Eva Taylor, around a century ago, that upended the evidence for Francis Drake having claimed Novo Albion in the area of San Francisco; the ethnographic and linguistic evidence in support of the Golden Hind landing on the coast of Oregon or Washington instead of California; the plot by a famous University of California historian to manufacture Drake's "plate of brass" to refute Nuttell's claims and obstruct the publication of her paper; the remarkable point that the crew of the Golden Hind spent between five and ten weeks on the Northwest coast, interacting with Indians routinely, without ever having fought with them; and Drake's legacy more generally.  Twitter: @TheHistoryOfTh2 Books referred to in this episode Melissa Darby, Thunder Go North: The Hunt for Sir Francis Drake's Fair & Good Bay Samuel Bawlf, The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake: 1577-1580

In July 1588 the Spanish Armada sailed from Corunna to conquer England. Three weeks later an English fireship attack in the Channel—and then a fierce naval battle—foiled the planned invasion. Many myths still surround these events. The genius of Sir Francis Drake is exalted, while Spain's efforts are belittled. But what really happened during that fateful encounter?For this episode of the podcast, Dan welcomes back distinguished professor and historian, Geoffrey Parker. They deconstruct the many legends to reveal why, ultimately, the bold Spanish mission failed.‘Armada. The Spanish Enterprise and England's Deliverance in 1588' will be published in October 2022.Produced by Hannah WardMixed and Mastered by Dougal Patmore See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
