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.

1812 in Iberia was heavily conditioned by the Napoleon's invasion of Russia.
1812 was a major transition year for the war in Iberia. Wellington defeated Marmont's Army of Portugal in the course of an afternoon and drove King Jospeh out of Madrid. The French were able to recover thanks to superior manpower. However, in order to concentrate the men that would drive Wellington back to the border fortresses the French had to give up about a third of Spain.
This year sets the stage for the French defeat at Vitoria in 1813.
