Maria, jeune fille d'une famille polonaise noble mais démunie, a été mariée au riche Comte Walewski, de 50 ans son aîné. Son existence auprès de ce vieillard, pourtant doux et bon, est morne et sans joie. Alors que Napoléon entre en Pologne en libérateur avec ses troupes, elle lui est présentée lors d'une fête. Pour Napoléon, c'est le coup de foudre immédiat. Il n'en est rien de tel pour la jeune fille, pourtant objet des injonctions pressantes de son entourage : sa liaison avec Napoléon pourrait sauver la Pologne.

Do you know the WHOLE story about the Louisiana Purchase? From the first Europeans and Native Americans to its purchase from France and first explorations? Some people thought it cost too much and was too much land, while others saw it as the future of the United States. Who was right? Did France even have the right to sell the Louisiana Territory to the US? How did the Louisiana Territory go from being a vast wilderness to the central states? How did things end up the way they are today?

Story0
In the wake of the American and French Revolutions, thousands of men and women took to the roads and waterways on both sides of the Atlantic—refugees in search of their inalienable rights. Although larger nations fortified their borders and circumscribed citizenship, two port cities, German Hamburg and Danish Altona, opened their doors, as did the federated Swiss cantons and the newly independent Belgian monarchy. The refugees thrived and the societies that harbored them prospered.

A pesar de sus paradójicas luminarias, la historia de México a veces es cruel con sus caudillos. Los arrincona, los hunde en empresas destinadas al fracaso, los arrumba en el olvido; prueba de ello es la mítica figura de Ireneo Paz, emblema de los liberales mexicanos, militar, poeta, crítico de su tiempo, novelista, editor vehemente y al final de sus días...solo un fantasma.

Thinking of Spain as a modern nation state today distorts the complicated reality that the Iberian Peninsula faced in the past. Spain was a nation in progress, consisting of regions united under the Spanish crown, but with strong regional identities based on different historical and cultural experiences. The largest entities were the kingdoms of León and Castile, but Spain also included the kingdoms of Navarre, Andalusia, Granada, Jaén, Aragon, and Valencia.

Sarmiento renunció a la masonería antes de asumir, vivió de prestado en casas de parientes y sufrió un grave atentado por parte del mismo bando que propició el asesinato de Urquiza. Cargó con la epidemia de la fiebre amarilla y la mayor tragedia naval de su tiempo. Completó su mandato en medio de una rebelión militar. Lo trataron de borracho, corrupto, inútil y anticonstitucional. Pero el contexto hostil no le impidió expandir los ferrocarriles y el telégrafo, promover la ciencia y la tecnología, impulsar el uso de maquinaria agrícola.

John Ross served the Cherokee Nation in a public capacity for nearly fifty years, thirty-eight as its constitutionally elected principal chief. Historian W. Dale Weeks describes Ross's efforts to protect the tribe's interests amid systematic attacks on indigenous culture throughout the nineteenth century. At the outset of the Civil War, Ross called for all Cherokees to remain neutral in a war they did not support—a position that became untenable when the US withdrew its forces from Indian Territory.

It has been said that the number of women who served as soldiers, both North and South, approached 400. It is known that a large number of women disguised themselves and enlisted in the service, for one cause or another. Entrenched in secrecy, and regarded as men, they were sometimes revealed as women, by pregnancy or casualty.

When Union and Confederate forces met at the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861, each side was confident of victory. The Northern and Southern Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis each hoped for a triumph that would bring a swift and decisive end to the Civil War that split the United States into two warring nations. Union General Irvin McDowell was the first of a succession of commanders who failed to deliver victories for the North. The South could boast of the military brilliance of General Thomas Jackson.

Story0
The contemporary lore surrounding the 1879 Alford-White affray--that occurred in Tarrant County, Texas--has celebrated George H. White as a forgotten Fort Worth peace officer killed in the line of duty by horse thieves and desperados. This sensationalized narrative, based on the yellow journalism of the day, has been glamorized in books, has been written about in magazine articles, and has been honored on national and local memorials. Nevertheless, 20 years of research has revealed a different insight.

Col nome di Belle Époque si indica il periodo storico che va da fine ‘800 agli anni ’20 del ‘900. Sono gli anni della nascita del tempo libero e delle vacanze, delle grandi scoperte (dalla lampadina al vaccino al cinema), della nascita del concetto di consumo, della rivoluzione delle comunicazioni con la radio. Il podcast ci porta in quest’epoca di grandi trasformazioni, e nel suo epicentro, Parigi, per raccontarci come quegli anni abbiano contribuito in maniera decisiva a delineare il mondo di oggi, anche con la nascita del moderno spettacolo di intrattenimento.

On a battlefield so littered with dead bodies that General Ulysses S. Grant said it would have been possible to walk across it in any direction without a foot touching the ground, the Union Army notched a brutal but significant victory against the Confederate Army. The two-day battle, with the highest number of casualties recorded in the fighting up to that time, dashed the hopes of a short war. Still, few could have grasped that this battle was only the beginning of a national campaign of slaughter that would see so many Yankee and Rebel deaths.

Este breve manual de Historia pretende acercar al lector al estudio del establecimiento del Estado liberal en España, y su desenvolvimiento durante el siglo XIX, para luego entrar en el problema fundamental que se plantearía en el nuevo siglo en relación con la transformación de ese Estado liberal en uno democrático. Precisamente, el fracaso en este proceso, debido a un conjunto de factores, conducirá a la gran tragedia española de la Guerra Civil.

En este penetrante y documentado ensayo histórico se exploran los últimos momentos de Maximiliano como emperador de México, rastreando el proceso que lo llevó al paredón de fusilamiento. Bajo la mirada crítica de José Manuel Villalpando, esta obra profundiza y analiza el juicio que definió el futuro de México. Más allá de la simple condena a Maximiliano por traidor e intervencionista, este estudio llena el vacío que prevaleció durante años acerca del total desconocimiento del juicio, incluso para los tiempos rebeldes y confusos en que sucedió.

In May 2018, NASA called a press conference to announce the successful test-run of their tiny nuclear reactor KRUSTY (Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling Technology). This revolutionary technology, which runs on heat alone, may have profound consequences for the future of mankind, enabling us to maintain permanent bases on the Moon, on Mars, and other planets, and eventually power a starship. On earth too it could have enormous benefits as a new way to generate power at a time when climate change is threatening our very existence.
