Introducing Diplomacy: Britain vs America 1838-1846
🕑 Added 2023-01-14 21:33:37 +0000 UTC[PATRONS]
Oh boy, it's finally time! Now you get to see what I've been working on over the Christmas break, an extremely chunky and detailed twelve part series examining Anglo-American relations from 1838-1846. Expect fractious diplomacy, war scares, major tensions, close calls and settlements which dramatically affected how each side saw the other, with consequences that are felt to this day.
In this introductory episode, I set the scene and justify my interest in this period, as well as explaining why YOU should care. We look at the British destruction of the Caroline, and question how this incident helped fan the flames of American hostility towards London, while Palmerston...shrugged his shoulders. The British Foreign Secretary, you see, had his hands full with keeping the Ottoman Empire propped up, while he also kept his eye on France.
We're just beginning our journey in this fascinating period, and I can't wait to bring you along for the ride! A huge thanksss to all of my lovely patrons for supporting this show for so long. It's now official, I'm in the final stretch, and after this final set of fees, Dr Zack will be coming soon to earbuds near you!

So happy to be supporting you brother. Bring on Dr. Zack Twamley!! You have gotten me through a lot of long hours painting and decorating over the years,. And since becoming an envoy extraordinaire I have binged the whole PINYL, the whole 1956 and the whole Louis arms and armies. So keen for this new series and can't wait for my historical lie ;). Thankssss Dr. Twamley (may as well start getting used to it)
