The Tokyo Trials

Following the conclusion of World War II, decisions needed to be made about how to handle the defeated Axis Powers. Due to the vast scale of atrocities committed, it was not feasible to punish everyone involved. Instead, the Allied victors chose to put key members of the leadership on trial. For aggressors in the Eastern Theater, it was decided that the Tokyo Trials would be held to try political and military heads for war crimes. Learn about how the Tokyo Trials, why they were held, the controversies surrounding them, and why they were considered to be necessary on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Insanely Ridiculously Absurdly Large Numbers

One of the first mathematical concepts that most of us grasp when we are children is that there is no such thing as the biggest number. No matter what number you pick, you can always add one to it. You might think that such a simple idea wouldn’t have any profound impact in mathematics, but it does. In fact, mathematicians have come up with numbers so mind-bogglingly large that it is difficult to even grasp their size, and new forms of notation had to be developed to even write them down.  Learn more about Insanely Ridiculously Absurdly Large Numbers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Moldova

Sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine is the nation of Moldova. As with many landlocked countries in Central and Eastern Europe, it has a long history as a crossroads for armies and people. In addition to serving as a crossroads of civilizations, it has also served as a buffer between states.  All of which has made for a very interesting history.  Learn more about Moldova on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Leninism vs Maoism

Communism is an ideology that millions of people had to live under during the 20th century.  Despite the communist label many nations adhered to, there were often vast differences in how they practiced communism or even what they considered communism to be.  In fact, Karl Marx would have probably been shocked to see where Communist governments were established.  Learn about the differences between Maoism and Leninism on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
