One HUGE gap we have is the First World War, a.k.a. the Great War. Lucky for us, Mitch loves to read nonfiction history books and listen to history podcasts and has been amassing knowledge for like 20 years! He's joining us for a three-part series on the war to give us a little insight and fill in those gaps, so we can be prepared and knowledgeable going into our other fiction reading. Plus, our favorite fiction author of all time, J.R.R. Tolkien, fought in the First World War, so this gives us some insight into the lives of authors as well.Hope this episode is fun, approachable and entertaining!Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 0:54 - Recap of Part 2 3:21 - 1917 4:59 - The Beginning of the Russian Revolution 7:52 - Britain & France in April 1917 12:08 - Russia in July 1917 16:33 - Russian Revolution 20:21 - 1918 25:23 - Operation Michael 31:44 - The US in November 1918 35:33 - The Armistice on November 11th 37:07 - Woodrow Wilson & the Treaty of Versailles 44:08 - France after the War & the Big Three 46:26 - What the world looks like Post-War 55:56 - Germany excluded from the treaty 58:25 - The Middle East Post-War 1:02:10 - Germany finally gets the invite 1:10:22 - The end of Woodrow Wilson 1:13:24 - In ConclusionLet’s connect!Join our Patreon read-and-watch club: patreon.com/KrisandMadsSisterhoodHave a business inquiry?
