Greetings Podcast listeners! Welcome back to a new episode of Britain in 1919–1939. In this episode, we will be looking at how the British prepared for the Second World War. After a relatively peaceful 1920s, the prospect of a second world war began to show itself in the 1930s. With conflict spouting from the rules of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, countries tried their best to avoid another costly war. Aside from a policy of non-involvement in the Spanish Civil War of 1936 to 1939, Britain ...

The period of time between 1929 and 1939 is sometimes referred to as ‘The Devil’s Decade’. Aside from the rise in extremism that took place during the decade, and the commencement of the Second World War, the beginning of the decade is marred by the Great Depression as the Wall Street Stock Market crashed following the post-war industrial boom of the iron and steel, construction, automobile and retail industries in ‘The Roaring Twenties’. In this episode on Britain from 1929 to 1939, I will be l...

While the Soviet Union’s leaders and authorities officially condemned nationalism and proclaimed internationalism, including their support of self-determination, in actual truth, many ethnic groups within the Soviet Union were treated horrendously. While the founder of Soviet Russia, Vladimir Lenin, had implemented a policy of korenization , which meant the integration of non-Russian nationalities into the governments of their specific Soviet republics, Stalin doubled down on many of these polic...

Shortly after he gained control over the party, Stalin embarked on a period of radicalisation of the Soviet foreign policy that aligned with his hardline domestic policies. To convey a sense of emergency for modernising the Soviet Union, Stalin portrayed the Western powers, with France in particular, as violent nations who were seeking to attack and destroy the Soviet nation. Domestically, Stalin eliminated any forms of opposition to his power, replacing those in positions of power with his frie...

Greetings Podcast listeners! Welcome to History: From One Student to Another and another episode from my series on Stalin’s Russia. Up until 1928, Stalin and Bukharin presented themselves as the upholders of Lenin’s legacy through his 1921 New Economic Policy, but this had changed by 1928 when Stalin completely cut down the New Economic Policy and took steps which were even more radical than what the Left Opposition had been advocating for. In this episode, I’ll be speaking about the economic po...

Greeting Podcast Listeners. In this episode, as an overview of the topic of Hitler’s Germany, we will be looking at a question from a past paper. The Nazis had created a totalitarian state in Germany by 1941 to a large extent. By 1941, the Nazi German government was centralised, with Hitler in a dictatorial position, and the Nazis having one-party control over the government and wider society. Hitler was able to achieve this by implementing one-party rule, repressing opposition with legislature ...

What caused the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine? Ukraine was one of the administrative units of the Soviet Union from it’s foundation in 1922 until it was dissolved in 1991. After this, Ukraine became an independent state, a country in it’s own right, which is now controlled by a Unitary semi-presidential republic, with Volodymyr Zelenskyy as President since 2019. Since its independence in 1991, Ukraine has experienced its fair share of problems, such as the Orange Revolution from November 2004...
