 Our theme for the month of July is Before the War, After the War

 This series will be about war. About how it begins, and how it ends. Note, that the emphasis here will not be on the fighting itself, but the events either leading up to the war or immediately following (for example, a US Civil War series would look at the social forces that drove Secessionism or, alternately, the process of Reconstruction). We’ll deal with big questions of war and peace—when does a war end? How does one convince an enemy to stop fighting? At what point is conflict inevitable? 

Some notes about suggestions:

  • Only one suggestion per person please! Multiple suggestions from the same person during any given survey period will be manually removed.
  • If a suggestion we encounter only has enough research material/production scope for a one-off episode instead of a full series, we file it in a separate list to reference later when we are planning to schedule a one-off episode between series (this is true for every survey we do). 
  • Anything that happened or started before 1929 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.

The Seven Years’ War feels overdue.

I suggested the Congress of Vienna, the remaking of post-Napoleonic Europe.

A one-shot of the Emu War would be funny...
