Hanging with History
The first season focuses on the origins of the Industrial Revolution or the Great Enrichment, we go deep into history to gain enough background knowledge to actually understand the various theories of the origins of the Great Enrichment. Eventually we learn that we also need to know how the miracle was consolidated, as the many other close approaches to the Industrial Revolution failed.A kwirky style, but intellectually ambitious with the goal of understanding history well enough to understand the miracle that happened that one time. It's gonna be a long series.

The Priestly Riots, also known as the Birmingham Riots, were part of the Church and King riots, that were part of the disgust reaction against French inspired radicals in Britain.
The four wars: The Russo Swedish War, the Theatre War, the Russo Turkish War and the Austro Turkish War, were all consequences of France dropping out of the concert of Europe, due it its weakness.
Towards the end of 1792, the British were striving to avoid war, but the French seemed determined to suck them in, or at least those who triggered war with Britain, couldn't bring themselves to make the necessary compromises.
