These problems culminated in the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215 which severely limited the strength of John and his son, Henry III, whose reign was overshadowed by the document.

It covers the political and social makeup of medieval Wales, particularly Gwynedd and stresses the changes that underwent both Wales and England as a result of the conquest. Recommended books: W. Davies - Wales in the Middle Ages. Probably the best overview of the period on sale. By far the easiest to follow and breaks down the Edwardian conquest (and it's legacy) extremely well. M.

This led to Edward I of England's intervention and after his dominance was rejected by the Scottish, Edward sought to conquer instead. William Wallace and later King Robert the Bruce were the leaders of the Scottish resistance which eventually saw England defeated and Scotland remain independent. Recommended books: A. Barrell, Medieval Scotland (2000). A great overview of the period but its scope is much broader than this episode. G. Barrow, Kingship and Unity: Scotland, 1100-1306 (2003).

Edward III's reign saw the beginning of the Hundred Years' War and the Black Death and the episode covers how these changed English society. His grandson Richard II succeeded him and his reign had many issues ranging from the Peasants' Revolt to his nobility, who deposed him for Henry IV. Really this episode is about how nobles and kings argued over money. Recommended books: A Companion to Britain in the Later Middle Ages - Ed by S. H. Rigby. - A very good overview but its coverage of the Hundred Years' War leaves a lot to be desired. The economics of England at this time are covered especially well.

It covers everything from Edward III's victory at Crécy and the Black Prince's triumph at Poitiers all the way to the French victory in 1453. All of the major battles, such as Sluys, Agincourt and Orléans are covered as well as the political intrigues in both kingdoms. Recommended Books: Michael Prestwich - The Hundred Years' War - Probably the best narrative overview of the war.

This conflict saw the House of Lancaster and the House of York fight it out for the throne. Some of England's most famous kings, Henry VI, Edward IV, the short-lived Edward V and most famously, Richard III are all covered in this episode which ends with the establishment of the Tudor Dynasty. Recommended Books: Alison Weir - Lancaster and York: The Wars of the Roses - Probably the best overview of the Wars given their complexity. Like most overviews it really glosses over the later parts but barring that it's excellent. Michael Hicks - The Wars of the Roses - Another very good overview but a bit more detailed (this one also has a timeline in it). Slightly harder to get into than Weir's book, though.

Another great overview book, more detailed than the above but harder to get into, is particularly good at covering the Sultans and their ministers. Donald Quataert - The Ottoman Empire 1700-1922 (2005). A really good overview, it's shorter than the other two and does a great job covering Egypt. Has very good insights into the legacy of the Ottoman Empire as well which many books tend to lack.

It follows Edward's approach to church reform and his untimely death and Mary's attempt to undo this with the help of her husband, King Philip II of Spain. After Mary's death, Elizabeth took over and set England back on the course of Protestantism and aiding others which annoyed Philip who subsequently unleashed the Spanish Armada. The armada failed, leaving elizabeth to consolidate her reign which saw the flowering of the English Renaissance and her failure to secure an heir which ended her dynasty, beginning the reign of the House of Stuart.

His reign and that of his son, Pippin III, who appointed himself as king are briefly covered before the reign of Charlemagne is examined in detail. Charlemagne is without a doubt one of the most famous European monarchs and the Renaissance of Learning, his conquests and famously, his being crowned as Roman Emperor by Leo III are only a few of his achievements. His reign lasted for 47 years and after his grandsons divided the empire, the remnants became the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire.

Recommended books: Chris Wickham - The Inheritance of Rome: A History of Europe from 400 to 1000. - Seriously one of the best works on the period known as the Dark Ages, it covers everything from the collapse of the Western Roman Emperor to the nomads in Eastern Europe in an easily consumable format. An amazing book. Rosamond Mckitterick - Charlemagne: The Formation of a European Identity. - This one is by my old lecturer and so I'd advise it for undergrads or enthusiasts only. It is probably the best book on Charlemagne's reign available and is up to date on the new findings surrounding things like where he conquered and his personal education. Few maps though, so boo there.

The focus is on liberal revolutionaries, like Mazzini and Garibaldi, and their conservative opponents like Victor Emmanuel II and Cavour. The episode covers the many revolutions (emphasis on 1848) in Italy across the 19th century and the wars with the Austrian Empire with Napoleon III of France and Prussia. All of this led to a sudden explosion of Piedmont-Sardinian territory in the years 1859-1861 which ended with the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy. Finally, Venice and Rome would be added to the kingdom, making Italy (almost) what it is today. Recommended books: A Concise History of Italy by Christopher Duggan - Part of a great series of survey books. This one is great for Italy post-Napoleon I. It's pretty lacking with respect to the rest of Italian history (its coverage of the Renaissance/ Early Modern Italy isn't great, frankly.

This episode of Ten Minute History (like a documentary, only shorter) covers the rise of Calvinism in the Spanish Seventeen Provinces and the subsequent outbreak of the Dutch Revolt/Eighty Years' War. William the Silent led the United Provinces' (and later Dutch Republic's) bid for independence and he encountered many issues, notably the Duke of Alba and Parma as well as some hiccups in picking a monarch. All of the turmoil forced the Dutch to innovate in matters of commerce and trade whilst having to decide the religious policy of their new state. The Dutch (after losing some territory) would win their independence in 1609 but the Spanish wouldn't accept this until 1648. Recommended books: A Concise History of the Netherlands by James C. Kennedy. - A Very good book which goes into great detail about the events of the war and the importance of religious and commercial reform. Very good book. Christendom Destroyed, Europe 1517-1648 by Mark Greengrass. Another extremely good work, it bounces all over Europe so don't expect to be able to read a chapter on the Dutch and know everything.

It deals with the division of the empire by Theodosius I and the rule of his successors Honorius and Arcadius. Honorius' reign saw Britannia leave the empire and the first sack of Rome in about 800 years. The borders of the empire continued to weaken under his successors in the west as the East held on in the face of barbarian groups like the Huns or the Vandals. In the end, the Western Roman Empire would disappear in 476 ushering in a new age of smaller kingdoms in Europe. Recommended books: Chris Wickham - The Inheritance of Rome. Phenomenal book which covers the decline of the Roman Empire in the west (and also the East) and details what happened in the aftermath of its fall. Peter Brown - The World of Late Antiquity. One of the classics surrounding the period. Be aware that it is starting to show its age but frankly there aren't loads of great introductory overview materials like this for the period so it's still very valuable.

It covers James' early rule which saw the Gunpowder Plot and the attempts to create a religious consensus in England. James managed to keep England out of war but after his death in 1625 his son, Charles I saw to war with Spain and intervention in the Thirty Years' War. Charles was an abrasive king and his heavy handed rule and corruption led to opposition which culminated in the Bishops' Wars and set the stage for the English Civil War.

The revolt was crushed fairly quickly but sparked intervention by Denmark, who didn't do too well, and later Sweden who did very well. Both of these were aided by France who decided to get directly involved in 1635. By 1648 the Holy Roman Empire lay in ruins, with Austria and Spain struggling to pay for the war and rebuild the Habsburg Empire. This war saw the rise of Sweden and France but most importantly saw the foundations of modern diplomacy built. Recommended books: Mark Greengrass - Christendom Destroyed: Europe 1517-1648.

It wasn't long before Charles' duplicity and method of rule saw the outbreak of war between Parliament and the king's forces. The civil wars spanned about a decade and eventually saw the execution of Charles I and the ascendancy of Oliver Cromwell as the Lord Protector of the English Commonwealth (a republic). His rule saw the conquest of Ireland and war with Spain and the Dutch Republic and after Cromwell's death in 1658, it wasn't long before Charles's son, Charles II, was restored to the throne. Recommended reading: Barry Coward and Peter Gaunt - The Stuart Age: England 1603-1714. Fantastic and very detailed work which I'd recommend for undergrads but a bit dense for those simply interested in the period. John Miller - Early Modern Britain: 1450-1750. A phenomenal book. It's an overview of the entire period and really a must have if you are looking to study Britain during the era. Cannot recommend this book enough (or the others in the series).

It covers its peak under Khrushchev during the Cold War and the Space Race and his attempted reforms before his ousting after the Cuban Missile Crisis. His replacement, Brezhnev, attempted to undo these reforms but spurned the Era of Stagnation which saw the Soviet economy stall. Gorbachev took over and attempted many sweeping reforms which went awry which culminated in the sudden breakup of the USSR and the establishment of the Russian Federation under Boris Yeltsin.

Stephen Lovell - Soviet Union: A Very Short Introduction. A great overview of the entire USSR and its history. Recommended for any beginner to the period. Geoffrey Hoskings - A History of the Soviet Union. This is an older work (from the 90s) and excludes some of the more recent discoveries since the opening of the Soviet archives. However, it's still the best one-volume work on the USSR available in my opinion.

Very good book for understanding what life was like for normal people and how the war affected everything. Invade Greece now, for the Italy! Show no mercy, slaughter them like sheep!

Holt. - Pretty much THE go to book about the French Wars of Religion. You won't get better since this one set the standard. Early Modern Europe, 1450-1789 by Merry E. Weisner-Hanks. A great overview of early modern Europe which will give great context to events (especially religious and military) in France during this period. I'll always recommend this book to anyone studying the period.

Fancy. This one is about the First Opium War which started after China banned the Opium trade and started enforcing it, much to the detriment of Britain. The war kicked off in 1839 and Britain mostly spent the next three years sailing up the Chinese coast obliterating any resistance they came across. In the end Britain won out and China could go back to having its society ruined by Opium addicts. Yay! Recommended book: The Opium War by Julia Lovell. This book's title may make it appear as if it only covers the Opium Wars but this book is about the entire history of Opium in China and is actually a pretty good overview of Chinese history from the Late Qing to the modern day. It's very well structured and not overly complicated.

It's also a ridiculous 210-day focus. Recommended Reading/ Sources: The Stalinist Era by David L. Hoffman. This is a pretty new book and as far as broad overviews go it's certainly one of the best. Some things it can be a bit brief on (Gulags being one of them) but in terms of broad trends and politics it's extremely good. Scorched Earth: Stalin's Reign of Terror by Jörg Baberowski. A very in-depth look into the purges and the motivations behind the terror. Does well to demonstrate how it also affected normal everyday people and not just the politicians at the top. Also, anything by Sheila Fitzpatrick is also recommended (On Stalin's Team is a good one).

He tried to marry Wallis Simpson, a divorcee and an America socialite who was deemed unfit to be Queen. Edward refused to give her up and a constitutional crisis brewed which culminated in Edward's abdication after a mere 10 months on the throne and the crowning of his younger brother, George VI, whose daughter, Elizabeth is the current monarch of the United Kingdom. Recommended Reading/ Sources: Edward VIII by Piers Brendon. The most readable account of Edward VIII's life and reign out there. Very cheap, too. Goes into great detail about Edward's close circle and family too which adds some nice depth.

Recommended books: Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945 by Tony Judt. Best book on the period available. Absolutely phenomenal and a complete tome (worth every penny, though). A Concise History of Hungary by Miklós Molnár. Like all of the other books in this series its a fantastic introduction to all Hungarian history. Not the cheapest but still a great book for people interested in both Communist and all other Hungarian history.

After three days of violence he abdicated and was replaced by his cousin Louis-Philippe who would have his own fair share of problems. Book Recommendations: A Modern History of Europe from the Renaissance to the Present by John Merriman. For a book that covers such a large span of history, this is phenomenally detailed (although not the cheapest book there is). If you'd like a broad overview of European history with a great focus on France than this book is a great one to start with. A Concise History of France by Roger Price. Fantastic at covering France from the 1789 onwards. Just be aware that whilst it calls itself a history of France, the pre Louis XIV bits are extremely brief (or non-existent) so be aware.

After the fall of Acre in 1291 the Knights Templar had no purpose barring retaking the Holy Land which they didn't. Since he owed them money and didn't want them interfering in his affairs, Philip decided to strike and arrested much of the order. They were accused of heresy and after a longwinded and cruel investigation the Order was dissolved in 1312.

Life in the country was pretty brutal after the war but after some economic aid and presenting a united front to their occupiers the Austrians were able to negotiate the end of their occupation in 1955. They just can't join Germany again. Ever.

Britain, France and Israel then colluded to invade Egypt and retake the canal. Militarily this went well, but politically the crisis cost the allied powers far too much and so they withdrew in what was frankly a humiliating climbdown. Also it's the point in which Britain was officially no longer a superpower. So pretty important. Recommended books: The Arabs: A History by Eugene Rogan. A fantastic book that covers Arabic history from the Mamluk Sultanate to the modern day. Extremely detailed and pretty ambitious, too although be aware the author makes no attempt to hide their political biases. Postwar: A History of Europe since 1945 by Tony Judt. Obviously this book only really tackles Suez from the perspective of the Europeans but does a great job in doing so. THE book for Cold War Europe.

It only had one king, William I (although his dad was William V because titles) and he really did try to unite the north and the south. He was a tad authoritarian though and his ignoring the south's issues led to its declaration of independence as the Kingdom of Belgium. Belgium's place between France and Prussia saw Britain guarantee its independence which led to its declaration of war against Germany in 1914.

His very short reign saw his usurp the throne from Constantius II (Constantine the Great's son). He attempted to make some reforms, mostly economic but his main purpose was to reverse the empire's conversion to Christianity. He tried but before he could secure his position he died on campaign in Persia and he was succeeded by the Christian Jovian.

This saw France start a war with the North German Confederation (mostly Prussia) because of a diplomatic slight. The French, to put it mildly, didn't do so well and the war was over in six months with a Prussian victory and the unification of Germany. Importantly for France, the peace saw the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine which would cause problems between the two for decades. Recommended reading: Iron Kingdom by Sir Christopher Clark. Probably the best non-academic single-volume book on Germany (Prussia really). Great for broader context too.

It began largely out of Russo-Ottoman rivalry and because French Emperor Napoleon III had been appointed the protector of Christians within the Ottoman Empire, at the expense of the Russian Emperor Nicholas I. The war really kicked off in 1854 with the British and French invasion of Crimea and largely ended with the capture of Sevastopol in 1855, after which the Russians sued for peace.

The Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War One, is perhaps the most famous peace treaty in human history. It ended the German Empire, assigned Germany the blame for the First World War and took a chunk of its territory away from it and gave it to France, Poland, Denmark and Lithuania. It's often decried as being too harsh and as being the cause of World War 2. But just how harsh was the Treaty of Versailles, was it really that bad?

When you think of the Soviet Union, you don't often think of elections, democracy or voting. Yet they did have elections, and citizens did go out on polling day just like in many democracies at the time. So how did these elections work and who could a citizen vote for? Were they free and fair? What if you didn't like any of the candidates? Well tough, Comrade.

In 1989, a wave of revolution swept across Eastern Europe, disrupting the Communist governments of Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary and of course, Romania.

Sparta is second only to Athens when it comes to famous historical Ancient Greek city states and its military prowess and incredible hoplites are incredibly well-known. But one thing less spoken of is that the famous King Leonidas who fought the Persians wasn't the only king of Sparta, he had a co-king. And it was around these two kings that the entire Spartan Constitution was based and operated. But why did Sparta have two kings, why keep the Diarchy when you can become a republic or simply a monarchy?

The United States of America. The USA. America. The Land of the Free. These are just some of the names for that continental sized nation which Alaska wishes it could touch. You'll be surprised to know that other names were considered for the new nation during the American Revolution against Britain and that a name wasn't settled on until the Constitutional Congress. Until other ideas, like Columbia or Fredonia were proposed. So why did the Founding Fathers choose the name 'United States of America'.

Kamikaze Pilots had one job. Introduce and crash their face (and plane) into the deck of an American Aircraft Carrier or Battleship.

So what happened to these young pilots when they failed and returned to their bases? Were they punished or just sent back out on another mission to sacrifice it all for victory.
