Pop Quiz | Preventing World War

from 15-Minute History · host 15-Minute History Podcast

Winston Churchill's insights into the Second World War's outbreak are a fascinating combination of prediction and justification. He knew Germany was a threat, but his postwar memoirs also include knowledge learned during and after the conflict that make it difficult for historians to judge how much he knew as Hitler rose to power. In this episode, Joe asks about how the war could have been prevented and what Churchill knew, and when he knew it.Join us every Thursday this summer for pop quizzes, and on Mondays for rebroadcast episodes!
