National Honour and Victorian Diplomacy

It's about time I dropped my research on you guys, so in this episode we'll be plumbing the depths of something I've mentioned many times, but rarely taken the time to define or explain properly - national honour. What was it, where did it come from, what role did it play in mid-Victorian diplomacy, and how did contemporaries use it in their construction and presentation of foreign policy? All these questions and more will be addressed, so if you're ready for a chunky episode on a concept barely understood in the histories, you've come to the right place!

Don't tempt me! I will certainly be more willing to experiment after the reception this got though, so stay tuned!

Brilliant episode Zack. Maybe we need some Dan Carlin-length episodes from you in the future.

Great episode! It's always interesting how we talk about nation-states like they are a singular person instead of being made up of the many opinions and experiences of people.
