The History Of Modern-day Germany: Recent Episodes
Charlie Chitundu
A look at perhaps the peace conference that closed the curtains on decades of conflict in Europe.
It was after(and because of, one could add) his victory at the the battle of Lechfeld that frankish King Otto the First became the first "Holy Roman Emperor", being the first of many to rule Germany and quite a lot of central/Western Europe over the next millennium. This podcast takes you on a journey from this defining battle to the start of the Napoleonic Wars after which the Holy Roman Empire would cease to exist.
I get into a short introduction on why I thought of starting the podcast, and what listeners can look forward to in the future.
