Hardcore History

Assuming this is the Dan Carlin podcasts. Ever hear of Ghengis Khan? He didn't take over the world by holding hands and skipping around a campfire signing Kumbaya. History is replete with other examples of what strong men can and will do. Also, how do most of the great empires forged by these men fall? Usually from internal 'rot.'

To quote George Orwell: "He who controls the past commands the future. He who commands the future conquers the past"

It teaches you about history. Being educated has always been a great thing.

Thanks for the comments. Admittedly history isn't my strength but I do find the podcast I'm listening to from Carlin very intriguing. I see your points in learning from History.
