On the Wrong Side of History 8 | Hubris, Appeasement, Brinkmanship, Colonialism, and Power Gone Awry

In this captivating episode of English Plus Podcast, we explore five defining moments where history veered off course. What do the Battle of Little Bighorn, the Munich Agreement, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the annexation of Hawaii, and the horrors of the Congo Free State have in common? They all show the dangerous consequences of arrogance, appeasement, brinkmanship, colonial ambition, and unchecked power. Join Danny as we uncover the lessons these events hold for us today—lessons that warn us against the traps of overconfidence, diplomatic missteps, and the dark side of empire-building.
