One of the defining events of the Middle Ages took place in Constantinople on April 12, 1204.  Soldiers of the Fourth Crusade, under orders of the Doge of the Republic of Venice, breached the walls and sacked one of the greatest cities of the era.  The sack wasn’t just an orgy of violence and destruction, which it was. It also set into motion events that caused irreparable divisions between the Eastern and Western Christian worlds and, ultimately, the fall of the Byzantine Empire.  Learn more about the 1204 Sack of Constantinople and how it changed the course of Europe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several major Americans were the battleground for a conflict between two great powers.  These powers were not armies or nations; rather, they were newspaper conglomerates headed by two of the most powerful figures in the history of American media.  The competition between them was furious, and it was fought not just on the pages of their newspapers but sometimes on the streets.  Learn more about Joseph Pulitzer, William Randolph Hearst, and the newspaper wars on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
