In this episode of History Shorts, we dive into the Battle of the Somme, a brutal World War I offensive meant to break the stalemate of trench warfare.

In the ancient Greek imagination, there existed a society unlike any other — a nation of fierce, independent women who lived by the sword, rode into battle on horseback, and struck fear into the hearts of even the greatest heroes of myth.
In this episode of History Shorts, we explore the legend of the Amazons — warrior women said to live beyond the edges of the known world. From their epic clashes with Hercules and Theseus to their role in the Trojan War, the Amazons stood as both rivals and reflections of Greek society's deepest fears and fascinations.

For nearly 150 years, the presidency followed an unwritten rule set by George Washington: two terms, then step aside. But in the chaos of the Great Depression and World War II, that tradition was shattered by one man — Franklin D. Roosevelt — who was elected an unprecedented four times.
In this episode of History Shorts, we explore how Roosevelt's extraordinary presidency led directly to the creation of the 22nd Amendment, permanently limiting future presidents to two terms in office.

In 1823, the United States was still a young, fragile nation — yet President James Monroe issued a bold warning to the great empires of Europe that would permanently change the balance of power in the Western Hemisphere.
The Monroe Doctrine declared that the Americas were no longer open to European colonization, and that any attempt to interfere in the New World would be seen as a threat to U.S. security. At the time, America lacked the military strength to enforce such a claim — but the message was clear: a new power was rising.

Thunder rolled across Europe's battlefields — not from the sky, but from hooves.
For over two centuries, the Winged Hussars of Poland-Lithuania were the most feared cavalry force in the world. Clad in armor, armed with massive lances, and riding at full gallop with towering feathered wings strapped to their backs, they shattered armies that outnumbered them many times over.
