    • INTERVIEW: Germany’s Deadly Secret Blueprint
      Aug 19 2025

      Germany didn’t just “unify” — it was engineered through secret deals, ruthless power grabs, and reckless ambition that exploded into global war.

      In this episode of Why Wars Happened, historian Katja Hoyer reveals how Bismarck’s strategy and Wilhelm II’s rise lit the fuse for World War I. Once you hear it, you’ll never look at Europe the same way again.

    • INTERVIEW: The Soldier the U.S. Tried to Forget
      Aug 12 2025

      The U.S. Marines had a soldier who fought with Chinese communists before WWII — and then created America’s first Special Forces.

      In this episode of Why Wars Happened, Stephen Platt uncovers the forgotten story of Evans Carlson, the man who defied military tradition, clashed with generals, and built the Marine Raiders. His ideas shaped modern warfare, but the military wanted him erased.
