History Heard HereHistory Heard Here Season 5 - Episode 9: The Past, the Present, and the FutureThis week, Rachel discusses the early 2000s, the 2010s, the present, and the future on the last episode of History Heard Here. We'll talk about some hopeful things like more elections around the world, a rover with a cute nickname, water being discovered on Mars, and the inevitable end of the universe as we know it. Our relationship with religion changes as the world becomes more secular due to more bad things happening or at least we're seeing them all due to the Internet. There are still revolutions, mainly in the Middle East, as education becomes an important issue...

You'll learn that we still don't know which wave of feminism we're in, how Latin and South America are actually more feminist, and that the Spice Girls should never be undermined.

Eastern European countries are finally free (as well as Canada but that's unrelated) as most people agree that there was no point for the war in general. We talk about Reagan's presidency which is filled with assassination attempts, strikes concerning underrated people, and the economy continuing to not make anything better. Natural disasters happen but the world generally cares more about the newest Nintendo game, MTV, and how gorgeous Rob Lowe is.

The Vietnam war ends and violence increase in the Middle East and you'll learn that cults are not the solution to that. Oil becomes an issue as people start to care about the planet and we realize that we might be the problem. Other problems are presidents turning out not to be good and French being controversial. But at least Queen exists.Leave a review o...

Wars that don't really seem to end are started and the US and the USSR use them as an excuse to fight against each other and since they can't get enough of each other they take it out of this world. Pop culture explodes as movie stars somehow become more famous, rock-and-roll comes to the mainstream, even more, countries become independent, and an assassination attempt happens that no one talks about. Germany is divided as...

Poland slowly becomes not-Poland as Germany and the Soviet Union take parts of it and you'll learn that if you invade a place, most people don't want you in their club that promotes peace.

In the 1920s we see how people have reacted and recovered from World War 1 by being pretty modern like getting really into music, cutting their hair, and buy a lot of stuff. In the background, dictators around the world start to rise as more countries become independent.

This week, Rachel discusses the rise of imperialism and the catalyst of World War One as everyone turns to Africa to make genetic and geography much harder just because of some shiny rocks. Back in Europe, everyone gets a little competitive and starts to make teams and choose sides, teaching you the lesson that if you’re going to declare war, might as well do it loudly. Leave a re...

We also talk about the Opium Wars which will continue to push the message of why you don’t do drugs because it could destroy the economy and get one man very angry.

Tensions are high in Canada, slavery is a hot topic in America and there are way too cowboys in Argentina. People don’t realize that they are in for a surprise in these countries as they migrate from Europe where they realize that industrialization isn’t making life better over there either.

In Russia, they continue to prove that the 70s is the best decade (at least when it comes to the 1870s) and that folklore has the power to start revolutions and create new countries.
