Boers, Seiges and Basílicas

Content time on the podcast this week going over to South Africa for the Boer War, looking at the roles of the three different commanders each with very different jobs to do. Before that, there's my fact of the week and another On This Day in History, all about the building of the Basílica de la Sagrada Família! Presented by: * Matthew Carter * Hazel Hammond * Ali Aldous * Anita Mancini

Control, Consent and Nit Combs

This week on It All Ends in History, we take a look at how the people were controlled by the Italian Fascist state and whether it was the potential rewards people could get from the state that mostly kept them on side. Before that, my fact of the week tells us all about Ancient Roman nit combs and there is our usual on this day in history. Presented by: * Matthew Carter * Hazel Hammond * Ali Aldous * Anita Mancini

Cars, Laws and Chancellors

We're taking a look at the roles of the Basic Law, chancellors and allies in ensuring political stability in the FRG on the podcast today, all through the lens of 2021's exam question. Before that, we hear about the history of Skoda in the Fact of the Week and Ali tells us all about this day in history. Presented by: * Matthew Carter * Ali Aldous * Hazel Hammond * Anita Mancini

Hovercraft, Foreign Policy and Elba

Local history in the Fact of the Week, all about Somerleyton and the hovercraft. Also, lots of fun from Ali's On This Day In History where me and Anita forget that Napoleon didn't in fact escape from his island exile the second time! After all this, it's down to business, and to the all important Nazi foreign policy question, where we look at 2018's source and Anita gives us all some helpful tips. Presented by: * Matthew Carter * Ali Aldous * Hazel Hammond * Anita Mancini

Sources, Mussolini and Pastries

A deep dive into source skills this week, looking at two sources from 2020's paper all about why Mussolini fell from grace in 1943. Why don't you get up the sources and then you can follow along. Before that though, I look at the history of the pain au chocolat and the two competing origin stories. Presented by: * Matthew Carter * Ali Aldous * Hazel Hammond * Anita Mancini
