Episode description

New Guest Expert! On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with Dr. Erik Gilbert about the 1896 Anglo-Zanzibar War. Dr. Gilbert specializes in East African history and the Indian Ocean and shares some enlightening details about the formation of Zanzibar, the location of the palace and the technological advancements in British military arms which contributed to an extremely lopsided battle. Afterwards, Patreon subscribers can revisit the board with Fact Checker Faryn Einhorn and Producer Clayton Early to see if the verdict holds up. Not part of our Patreon family yet?!
