Hanging with History
The first season focuses on the origins of the Industrial Revolution or the Great Enrichment, we go deep into history to gain enough background knowledge to actually understand the various theories of the origins of the Great Enrichment. Eventually we learn that we also need to know how the miracle was consolidated, as the many other close approaches to the Industrial Revolution failed.A kwirky style, but intellectually ambitious with the goal of understanding history well enough to understand the miracle that happened that one time. It's gonna be a long series.

Pichegru and Jourdan try taking the Austrians on the Rhine in a pinser move. But Pichegru's march on Clerfayt's magazine in Heidelberg is a disaster witnessed by Davout. Was it treachery?
The French are driven back across the Rhine as Wurmser builds up a new army.
The Spanish fronts see a collapse as the French break out of the Basque country into Navarre and Castille. The Treaty of Basel ends the war on good terms for the Spanish.
The Alpine front sees only one move by the French, for now Carnot is starving it of resources.
And of course we follow the doings of The Little Corporal in Paris.
