In the early 20th century, the Russian Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, the Tsarina Alexandra, welcomed a homeless monk into their home.
As this scruff, unkempt-looking man became closer to the royal family, he seemingly performed miracles, predicted the future, and cured illnesses.
He starts to gain influence over the Imperial Family, too much influence for comfort.
So, a group of nobles decided that he needed to be eliminated. However, that proved to be much easier said than done.
Learn about Rasputin, the magical man who wouldn’t die, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Trail of Tears
Between 1830 and 1850, the United States forcibly displaced 60,000 Native Americans living in the Southern United States under the ‘Indian Removal Act.’
While being moved, thousands would die due to starvation, disease, and exposure.
Its impact has led some scholars to classify the event as a genocide. Regardless of how it is classified, it remains one of the greatest tragedies in American history.
Learn about the Trail of Tears: why it was enacted and why it was so deadly on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The 1956 Suez Crisis (Encore)
In 1956, one of the most important geopolitical events of the post-war period took place in Egypt.
The Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, one of the most important waterways in the world.
In response, a coalition of several countries tried to take it back. However, it didn’t go as planned, and it signaled a major reshuffling of the geopolitical order.

Joan of Arc (Encore)
In 1428, a young girl from the village of Domrémy, France, audaciously set out to meet the heir apparent to the French throne, the Dauphin, and told him what he had to do to defeat the English occupying her country.
She claimed that she was told what to do by God.
Against all odds, the Dauphin took her advice, and it worked. After a series of military victories, the Dauphin was crowned king, and the young girl went on to become one of the greatest heroes in French history.
Learn more about Joan of Arc, her incredible story, and how it changed French history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
