Swiss Neutrality

There are several rules that should be followed when going to war: 1. Germany should never fight wars against the entire world 2. Don’t invade Russia in the Winter.  3. Never fight a land war in Asia. There is also one other rule that should be added to that list: Don’t count on Switzerland as an ally. For over two centuries, Switzerland has remained staunchly neutral, even when wars were being fought just over its borders.  Learn more about Swiss neutrality and what that means on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.  Sponsors * Quince * Go to quince.com/daily [http://quince.com/daily] for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order! * Mint Mobile * Get your 3-month Unlimited wireless plan for just 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com/eed [http://mintmobile.com/eed] * Stash * Go to get.stash.com/EVERYTHING [https://get.stash.com/EVERYTHING] to see how you can receive $25 towards your first stock purchase. * Newspaper.com * Go to Newspapers.com [https://go.newspapers.com/wwiihistory?xid=5602&utm_source=EverythingEverywherepodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=EverythingEverywhere24] to get a gift subscription for the family historian in your life!

Hollow Nickel Case

In 1953, a newspaper delivery boy in Brooklyn, New York, made an odd discovery. One of his customers gave him a nickel that seemed lighter than the others.  When he dropped it, it popped open, exposing a small piece of microfilm. It was the bizarre beginning of the exposure and discovery of a spy ring in the United States that ultimately contributed to one of the most notable events in the entire Cold War.  Learn more about the Hollow Nickel Case and how a random discovery led to the discovery of a spy ring on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The V2 Rocket

The Second World War saw the development of many new weapons. Perhaps none was more terrifying than the development of long-range strategic rockets.  Rockets had been used in combat for centuries, dating back to their development in ancient China; however, the rockets developed by Germany were a different matter altogether.  They terrorized civilians in England and actually served as the starting point of the space race.  Learn more about the V1 and V2 rockets and the Nazi rocket program on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Fra Mauro Medieval World Map

Sometime around the year 1450, a monk living just outside of Venice created one of the greatest maps of the medieval world.  It was an enormous map, even by modern standards, and it had a level of detail that had never been seen before.  It took years to make and was a major advancement in cartography.  Perhaps most importantly, it contained many details that no one had yet verified firsthand.  Learn more about the Fra Mauro map, how it was created, and its significance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
