How World War II Was Practiced in Spain (1936-1939)

Exploring History with William C. Fox 2024-12-12 | The Spanish Civil War is deserving of a complete history. It's a moment when fascism won and democracy imploded. It was a conflict of ideological extremes: monarchists, nationalists and fascists, supplied by Hitler and Mussolini, who rose up against the 2nd Spanish Republic, a coalition of socialists, communists and anarchists, supported by Stalin’s Soviet Union. But instead of a complete history, for this mini documentary, I give some of the reasons I'm passionate about learning about Spain's Civil War, and I try to infect you with that same passion. Hope it works!

The Real Reason No One Claims Antarctica (yet)

Exploring History with William C. Fox 2024-11-07 | Who Owns Antarctica? 511 Billion Barrels of oil are hidden under the ice, potentially sparking an unsettling race to influence the future of the last place on earth you can't visit. In this video, I go through the history of colonial claims in Antarctica, the post-war idealism leading to the Antarctic Treaty of 1959, and the cracks forming in the consensus of the modern age.
