Please suggest topics that you think fit the theme "Revolution." This suggestion comes from our writer Rob Rath, who defines revolution as broadly as possible--political, scientific, artistic, whatever you can think of!

Fill out this form to add in your suggestion! Some notes about your suggestions:

  • Submit between now and 11:59 AM Pacific standard time on Saturday, July 14. Only one suggestion per person please! Multiple suggestions from the same person during any given survey period will be manually removed.
  • Anything that happened or started before 1920 is fair game to suggest. We typically don't cover more recent events, unless we're working with sponsors who can provide more documentation about that historical topic.
  • We have a ratio of 2 suggestion surveys to every 1 voting poll. So if/when we ever do a theme for the survey, that theme will appear twice in a row. The results of both surveys are collected and added together when we determine patron suggestions to include in the next voting poll. Our next survey, and next official voting poll, will be around mid-July.

The Russian Revolution of 1917 always intrigued me. The fact that an empire which went from a Monarchy to Communism would play a large in the 20th century always seemed like an important moment in history. If it failed, would Communism have succeeded to spread throughout the world, who were some of the big players in the revolution, what was the spark and what was the background that led to the start?

Whiskey revolt, 1st of many tax revolts that shaped the country and the 1st and only time an actice us President took to the feild if combat

The English Peasants Revolt of 1381 and the German Peasants Revolt of 1524-6 and the Knights Revolt of 1522 (which was a precursor event to the German Revolt) are all interesting in regards to the possibilities had they been successful and the brutality in which they were suppressed.

Mike Duncan is already doing a lot of political revolutions on the Revolutions podcast, so maybe some sort of societal revolutions? On the other hand, I kind of want to see you guys do the Haitian Revolution. On the other other hand, that one should DEFINITELY wait until after the series on the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

I went with the rise of mass communication from the Printing Press to the Internet.

Zhu Yuanzhang (The Hongwu Emperor): the peasant that founded the great Ming Dynasty. Chinese history is hard to come by for an American like myself. I already suggested the Trung Sisters recently, more out of culture respect. But Zhu is more historically significant.

The Arab-Islamic revolutions (too many to cover, e.g. Ummayad/Abbasid rebellion, Berber, Samarran period, etc)

The Spanish Golden Age: Much has been spoken of the italian renaissance. But little of the cultural influence of the empire that helped kickstarted it by it's influence in the italian peninsula. The stand of Spain as the most powerful nation in the western hemisphere, helped to transfomr a barren land of sheperds and farmers, into the greatest exporter of art, literature, philosophy, music and architecture the world has seen since the Roman Empire. Many talk about the inquisition and the conquistadors, but little is talked about the spanish cultural influence that shaped all the later colonial european powers to come.

Mike’s series are probably the best out there that I’ve encountered. His series on the English, French and Haitian revolutions are excellent. He doesn’t just address the events in detail but lays out the mindsets of the times which further helps you understand the decisions made at that time.

True. Wat Tyler and other leaders very much dropped the ball due to their political naïveté especially in trusting the word of Richard II.

I have suggested the Baroque style again, an artistic movement or one could say an artistic revolution. It followed the Renaissance style and was a way to counter certain elements of the Renaissance and was supported by the Roman Catholic Church as a way to return to tradition and simplicity. I wish to know how it impacted history and whether proved as successful as the Catholic Church wanted it to be. People view the term "revolution" as though through a political and sometimes scientific lens, but barely in terms of art, despite the fact that art has had a huge impact on history. I think it is an interesting topic to look at.

My suggestion is the French Revolution, the revolution which began the modern world. However the focus of the series should not be so much on the political history which most people are familiar with but rather on the social and domestic policies which the revolutionaries tried to institute and how they tried to intrinsically revolutionise the French person from a feudal peasant into a republican citizen. Topics to explore include the introduction of a new revolutionary calendar, the Dechristianisation Movement, the introduction of civic and secular festivals and most controversially the attempt to introduce The Cult if Reason and the Religion of the Supreme Being. A series of atheistic religions to replace Catholicism. These changes, some successful others not so much in the end still revolutionised the ordinary family structure and society of the French people.

Transport revolution of 1830-1850, an often overlooked part of the industrial revolution that was a major cog piece in changing Britain as well as the world.

Thaddeus Kosciusko and the Polish-Russian War.

I went with the Mexican Civil war....I wanna know what happened, seeing as it is overshadowed by ww1

Nobody really talks about it, and extra history doesn't do enough 19th century topics, I just want them to talk about this thing I find so interesting that's so often overlooked

Joseph Osako

The Yellow Scarves Rebellion of 184 CE (more often, but less accurately, translated as 'yellow turbans'). Preferably using sources other than RoTTK, when available; as famous as the novel is (though in the US it is mostly known through the *Dynasty Warriors* games), it isn't exactly well researched historical documentation.

Herkles

I went with the Mexican Revolution. A decade of chaos and bloodshed that radically transformed Mexico. I think this revolution deserves its day in the spotlight :)

Jay

I went with the 80 years war, the independence war for the republic of the Netherlands and an important predecessor to France and The United States, as well as one of the main homes of the enlightenment and early economics.

Good idea, but there's plenty of video's about that. It's taught in most schools as well, so finding an original spin on it is hard.

True, although not important on a global scale it's a great subject.

It's a war that started with an unstable area and the world's most wealthy superpower going toe to toe. By the end their roles were reversed.
