Max Berner

Edward Bernays and (or) The History of Propaganda. I find that Edward Bernays has affected our entire modern way of life. Because of him, popularity is idolized, and "fitting in" is what everyone wants. He spoke of how you can control the people who blindly following others if you just control/change the people they follow, and that is extremely prevalent today. I feel like the contribution Edward Bernays has to our modern way of life is important, and if people were conscious and knew of him and his thinking, nationalism and bigotry would start to die out. Knowing of him is empowering and enlightening. This is why I think Edward Bernays and the History of Propaganda would be a fitting topic

Christopher Smith

Sargon of Akkad/Sargonic Dynasty with the first empire and first army, once again. I'll win someday! lol

Steve Jackson

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears! I implore, entreat, and beseech you all to suggest Nader Shah.

Augusto Bonzini

This is my second suggestion post and yet I have not seen any vote post yet. How does this work? I'm sorry but i'm new here =S

The Black Rattlers, The Men of Bronze, THE HARLEM HELLFIGHTERS!. I would like to see something about their service and accomplishments during WWI.

NeoKingGhidorah

We need more American history imo, so I submitted the Lewis and Clark Expedition! A harrowing adventure through the wild yonder with one of the most famous native american women helping along the way would fit GREAT with Extra History's storytelling style

Herkles

I submit Muhammad Ali of Egypt, the founder of modern Egypt.

Timur the Lame. C'mon guys, he's got a great name for a great conqueror.

Avatar Juan

The fall of Constantinople and the end of the Roman Empire (Eastern part anyway). To wrap up Justinian's legacy.

Vote posts are done after the series or series and mini episodes ends. Suggest a topic posts are every month. Since there is always 6 episodes and then the lies in a series the series will last longer than a month and sometimes there are breaks in uploading which there was with the current series can lead to more topic suggestions than vote posts

Soul Spire Studios

I submit for consideration Lubna of Cordoba! An intellectual and arguably as importantly - a scribe. Lubna was tasked with copying some of the most valuable texts of the time, works by Archimedes and other authors of antiquity. She was a mathematician, a poet, and a high ranking attendant of Umayyad court!

I liked hearing about Khavad in addition to Khosrau. You know which other great ruler was precedeed by an equally interesting father? Margrethe I, preceeded by Valdemar Atterdag, and suceeded by a king who also became a pirate! Oh, and she opens some interesting parallels with Cathrine the Great and Charles XII, and lets us talk about the virtues and pitfalls of elective monarchy, and about the Hansa, a trade guild so powerful she felt she needed an empire to balance it. Medival Europe's greatest statescrafter and diplomat, she is well deserving of a series.

Burnerheinz

chances are i've sent mine twice sorry

Thomas Alfred Weaver

I submitted Vlad the Impaler: like if you want it to be a Halloween episode!

Simen Engebretsen

I submitted "The race for the South Pole", Robert Scott and Roald Amundsen's expeditions to be the first men to reach the geographic South Pole.

Noah Simons

I submitted Napoleons conquest of Europe

Calvin McClory

Seven year war. It comes up so often yet I know so little.

Calvin McClory

Is there a voting group for the 7 years war? James said there was a block of people pushing for great northern war. If not, I'm starting one, we'll call our selves the hill.

Joshua Evans-Lowell

I submit the Taiping Rebellion. It compliments the Opium Wars and Ching Shih very well and it's both important and SUPER weird.

Chang E

I would suggest Wang Anshi, a chancellor during the Song Dynasty in China, who attempted to institute a set of major social and economic reforms called the New Policies. While he would eventually fail to institute such a grand change in the Song Empire this interesting and not well known period of Chinese history in an excellent example of Chinese court politics as it involves different ideological factions as well as highlighting the importance of the Emperor to chancellors and different political factions.

LeoZiggy

I'd love to hear more about the Amistad case of 1841, or a series about John Quincy Adams. His life is crazy interesting, and his post-presidency is surprisingly admirable.

General Luigi

Once again, I submitted the Time of Troubles. How long it lasted depends on what you count, though I'm as much interested in the mistakes and misfortunes that brought about the Time of Troubles as I am in the time period itself. The death of Ivan Ivanovich was what arguably set Russia on the path to the succession crisis, and Boris Godunov and Vasily Shuisky, both major players in the intrigues that made it worse, both had roles to play before they donned the crown. That said, the Time of Troubles might have been inevitable even had Ivan Ivanovich survived; the famine at the start of the 17th Century (never mind that Russia still used the Byzantine Calendar back then) would have happened anyway unless a few deaths in Europe can somehow avert a catastrophic volcanic eruption in South America. Basically, the Time of Troubles is a classic case of the "major shocks hitting all at once" scenario mentioned in the Bronze Age Collapse series.

Jessica Cheeri

Putting Le Grand Dérangement back in the hat. Just a part of the enormous Seven Years War

What's weird about Jesus' self-proclaimed younger brother trying to conquer China and drive out all the foreigners? XD

Edin Janković Šumar

The reign of Tvrtko I of Bosnia. Not very well-known, and less well-known (as well as misappropriated) after the genocide in 1992.

Shaduf

Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905

Shaduf

Mimar Sinan

Ian Adly Bin Iskandar Dzakurnain

I would actually like to suggest the Malayan Emergency which IMO was a brilliant counter-insurgency campaign that kept Malaya from sliding into civil war and the usual Communist vs Capitalist Split Nation Situation.

Sounds like a good idea; unfortunately that's hard to research since you can't make records or libraries when your country is on fire for several decades. I hope they find some info about the topic.
