--- 1965: First space walk. Alexei Leonov of the USSR became the first person to exit a spacecraft and walk in space. Although it was not made public at the time, Leonov came close to dying. His space suit had unexpectedly inflated while outside the spacecraft named the Voskhod 2. The inflated suit was too large for him to get back into the two-man Voskhod 2. Leonov stayed calm and slowly deflated the suit by releasing oxygen from it so he could fit back inside the spacecraft. This was one of the defining moments of the space race.

--- "The Space Race". That is the title of one of the episodes of my podcast: History Analyzed. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy famously promised to land a man on the moon within that decade, but why was there a race to the moon anyway? Get your questions about the space race answered and discover little known facts. For example, many don't realize that a former Nazi rocket scientist was the main contributor to America's satellite and moon program, or that the USSR led the race until the mid-1960s.

*NEW* History of Scotland Podcast - Episode 51 - Q&A Special

Hello everyone and welcome to the History of Scotland, Episode 51.

Today's focus, however, was on the eagerly anticipated Q&A session, sparked by the plethora of questions submitted by you, our listeners. Your enthusiasm and curiosity have been the driving force behind this episode, and it was my pleasure to address the wide range of topics brought to the table. From the ancient Scottish clans and their foundational role in the country's history to the dynamic and often contentious Scotland-England border, we covered significant ground.

We discussed the general history of Scottish clans, their origins, and their enduring legacy, setting the stage for a future two-part special that will delve even deeper into this fascinating topic. The discussion on the Scotland-England border illuminated the fluid nature of this boundary over the centuries, characterized by raiding and political shifts, promising another in-depth exploration in upcoming episodes.

Furthermore, we navigated through the rankings of Scottish monarchs, offering a perspective on their reigns based on stability and strong leadership. This ranking provided a framework to appreciate the complexities of governance and the varied challenges faced by these rulers throughout Scotland's history.

As we concluded this episode, I expressed my gratitude for your active participation and insightful questions. The engagement and curiosity of our listeners not only enrich the content of our discussions but also reinforce the communal spirit of learning and exploration that defines this podcast.

Looking forward, we are excited to continue our journey through Scotland's history, with the promise of more in-depth discussions, special episodes, and the exploration of pivotal events and figures that have shaped this nation. Your continued support and enthusiasm are what make this podcast a rewarding endeavor, and I eagerly anticipate the stories and insights we will share in the episodes to come.

--- 1879: Albert Einstein is born in Ulm, Germany.

--- 1794: Eli Whitney receives a patent for the cotton gin. The term "gin" was short for engine. It was a device for removing seeds from cotton fiber. Whitney's cotton gin removed seeds much faster than extracting the seeds by hand. As a result, cotton became very profitable. By the mid 1800s the southern states were producing 3/5 of America's exports, and most of that was cotton. The tremendous profits increased the demand for land and enslaved people to grow cotton. This resulted in the southern states becoming more and more dependent upon slavery which led to the American Civil War.

--- "Slavery Caused the US Civil War. Period!" That is the title of one of the episodes of my podcast: History Analyzed. Despite what many modern day discussions would have you believe, the Civil War was about one thing and one thing only – slavery. This episode examines the many ways that the disagreement over slavery between the North and South led to the Civil War. It also refutes once and for all the idea that states rights was the instigating factor. You can find History Analyzed on every podcast app.

Hello, does anyone here have a backup archive of the 25-ish episodes of "The History of the Mongols" podcast by Ben Hill? All but the last 5 episodes were deleted from Soundcloud last year and they're not available in the Internet Archive wayback machine. I wrote the author a DM in Soundcloud a few months ago but he seems to be MIA.

Thanks!

We have a big milestone coming up! If you want to talk about it, please send any requests to my email address. I'll watch the comments here, but email is the best way for me to stay organized! Reach me at "contact" at my website (hi101 dot ca).

This day in history, March 9
--- 1945: Operation Meetinghouse. On March 9, 334 B-29s took off from air bases in the Mariana Islands headed for Tokyo. After midnight (the early hours of March 10), those planes dropped 1,667 tons of napalm-filled incendiary bombs on the Japanese capital. We do not have exact numbers, but somewhere over 100,000 people were killed in that one bombing raid. This was the highest death toll of any air raid during World War II. That one firebombing raid of Tokyo in March 1945 killed more people than either of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. As a comparison, the bombing of Dresden, Germany a month earlier had resulted in around 25,000 deaths. The firebombing of Tokyo that night destroyed 16 square miles of the city. It is also estimated that approximately 1 million people were rendered homeless from this aerial attack. This firestorm in Tokyo was truly hell on earth: temperatures reached an incomprehensible 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (982 Celsius) in some locations; the intense fires sucked the oxygen out of the air, asphyxiating those people who did not simply burn to death; the clothes people were wearing literally burst into flames from the heat; glass in windows began to liquify; cyclonic winds from the firestorm blew the liquified glass all around, where it fell on people like a literal rain of fire. For some reason many people have a lot of misgivings over the atomic bombs but not these napalm raids which killed more people. --- "The Making and Utilization of the Atomic Bomb". That is the title of the two-episode series of my podcast: History Analyzed. Get answers to all of your questions about the history of the atomic bomb and the Manhattan Project. Learn what drove scientists such as Leo Szilard, Enrico Fermi, and Robert Oppenheimer to develop it, and why it was used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Episode 1 of this series explains how the bomb was developed and how it was used. Episode 2 of this series explores the arguments for and against the use of the atomic bombs on Japan.

--- 1965: Bloody Sunday. Peaceful civil rights marchers are brutally beaten by Alabama law enforcement officials as they cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge outside Selma, Alabama.

--- 1475: Michelangelo Buonarroti is born in the Republic of Florence (modern Italy).

--- 1857: The Supreme Court delivers the worst decision in the history of American jurisprudence: Dred Scott v. Sandford. Chief Justice Roger B. Taney read the majority opinion of the Court, which stated "The only matter in issue before the court, therefore, is, whether the descendants of such slaves, when they shall be emancipated, or who are born of parents who had become free before their birth, are citizens of a State, in the sense in which the word citizen is used in the Constitution of the United States." The 7-2 majority of the Supreme Court determined that all descendants (whether free or not) of former enslaved peoples could never be citizens of the United States and therefore were not protected by the rights of the United States Constitution or the rights of any state laws. The opinion also stated that Congress had no authority to ban slavery from any federal territories. These findings of the Supreme Court contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War.

Hello everyone and welcome to the History of Scotland, Episode 50.

Today we revisit the profound impact of the Treaty of Falaise on Scottish sovereignty and William I's determined efforts to restore Scotland's autonomy. It outlines the strategic diplomacy that led to the signing of the Quitclaim of Canterbury in 1189, which nullified the demeaning terms of the Treaty of Falaise, signifying a monumental victory for William and a pivotal moment for Scottish independence.

The narrative transitions to the ascension of Richard I to the English throne, highlighting the geopolitical shifts that facilitated Scotland's quest for independence. It delves into Richard I's motivations, particularly his need for funds for the Third Crusade, which led to a willingness to negotiate and make concessions, ultimately favoring Scotland's quest for sovereignty.

It details his efforts to bring regions like Galloway, Moray, Inverness, Caithness, and Sutherland under stronger central control, emphasizing the unification and stabilization of the Scottish kingdom under his rule.

--- 1770: Boston Massacre. British troops fire into a mob of American colonists on King Street in Boston, Massachusetts, killing five Americans. In October 1770, two trials were held (one for British Captain Thomas Preston and one for eight British soldiers). John Adams (future second President of the U.S.) and Josiah Quincy represented Captain Preston and the British soldiers. Captain Preston and six of the British soldiers were acquitted and two of the soldiers were convicted of manslaughter (instead of murder). Those two soldiers, Hugh Montgomery and Matthew Kilroy, were branded on their thumbs instead of being hanged.

We just finished a 6-part series on British explorer and traveler Freya Stark. Stark was a prolific explorer and writer in the 20th century, penning more than two dozen books on her travels through the Middle East. She was one of the first non-Arabs to travel through the southern Arabian Desert in modern times. Her journey to the fabled Valley of the Assassins is one of the great adventure stories of the era, and she was the first European to find the ruins of the Assassin fortress of Lambsar.

All of a sudden a person contracted polio and suffered terribly for several days; sometimes they recovered, sometimes they died, and sometimes they were left permanently disabled. The most famous polio victim of all time, Franklin Roosevelt, hid his disability from the public. But this story has a true hero: Jonas Salk, who developed a vaccine which led to the almost complete eradication of this dreaded disease. And Dr. Salk never patented the vaccine or earned any money from his discovery. You can find History Analyzed on every podcast app.

--- 1933: The Reichstag (German Parliament building) is set on fire less than one month after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. Hitler blamed the fire on the Communists. The Reichstag Fire Decree (Reichstagsbrandverordnung), enacted only one day after the fire, severely curtailed fundamental rights, subjected the police largely to the control of the national government and thereby created all sorts of opportunities for the persecution and elimination of political opponents. This led to mass arrests of people opposed to the Nazis. The members of the Reichstag passed the Enabling Act on March 23, 1933 (and published the following day). Officially titled the "Act for the Removal of the Distress of the People and the Reich", the Enabling Act granted the government of the Reich (meaning Hitler and his cronies) with almost unlimited powers to enact laws. Simply stated, Hitler could enact laws without the consent of the Reichstag (German Parliament). This was the start of Hitler being granted dictatorial powers.

--- 1993: World Trade Center in New York City is bombed. Most people know about the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack when planes flew into the twin towers of the World Trade Center (as well as the Pentagon). But the 1993 incident is overlooked. A terrorist bomb exploded in a parking garage beneath the World Trade Center, killing 6 and injuring more than 1,000 people. The FBI and NYC police arrested most of the terrorists before they could escape from the United States. The mastermind of the bombing, Ramzi Yousef, was finally captured in Pakistan in 1995. According to Yousef, the point of the bombing was to topple one World Trade Center tower, with the collapsing debris knocking down the second. Sadly, this was accomplished in the 9/11 attacks 8 years later.
