One of the most important inventions of the 20th century was the transistor. Prior to the transistor, electronic devices were large and bulky and dependent on vacuum tubes.

The Chinese Communist Revolution

2025/07/04

The 19th Century wasn’t a good one for China. It was marked by the nation being taken advantage of by foreign powers and the signing of lopsided treaties. The 20th Century started out promising, but eventually devolved into a series of warlords and a civil war between two major forces for control of the country, on top of the Japanese occupation of most of the country. When the dust settled in 1949, the victors were the Communists. China and the world haven’t been the same since. Learn more

The months of the year are named after Roman god, and some are named after their placement in the year. However, the first month to be named after an actual person was the month of July, which was named after Julius Caesar. What is surprising isn’t that the name of the month has stuck for over 2000 years, it's that more rulers didn’t try to name months of the year after themselves. Many more rulers would have done this if they had answered their subjects’ questions. Join me for volume 32 of

In the 19th century, New York City was one of the fastest-growing cities in the world.

2025/06/24

All sports are governed by a body of rules. Within those rules, there is usually a set of norms for how the game should be played. Most coaches will instruct their players to use similar techniques.However, every so often, someone comes along who totally rethinks how a game can be played. Using the same set of rules, they come up with a totally different approach to the game, which sometimes can be revolutionary. Other times, it's simply evolutionary.

In the Pacific Theater in World War II, the leader of the combined Japanese fleet was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.
