When Weather Became the Main Character
from Sidequests
Five moments in history when weather wasn't background — it was the deciding factor. A Scottish meteorologist's forecast that made D-Day possible. The Atlantic storms that destroyed the Spanish Armada when cannons couldn't. The Russian winter that turned Napoleon's invasion into one of history's greatest military catastrophes. The typhoons that protected Japan from Mongol conquest — twice — and gave birth to a legend that would echo into World War II. And the ice-choked Delaware River that nearly stopped Washington's Christmas crossing, then made it succeed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
