FIW 10: Epilogue to the French and Indian War

In this episode of Key Battles of American History, James speaks with Jenny Chan, director of Pacific Atrocities Education, about the often-overlooked human dimension of the Pacific War. We explore how events like the Nanjing Massacre, the Bataan Death March, and atrocities in the Philippines and Okinawa complicate traditional narratives of American military victory by highlighting their humanitarian consequences. We discuss the challenges of combating denialism and how her organization uses education and digital archives to preserve these histories. Finally, Chan makes the case that the most urgent “battle” today is educational: ensuring these stories are remembered and understood in a way that informs present-day global tensions.

GW24: Epilogue to the Great War

In this episode, Sean and James examine the far-reaching legacy of the First World War, from its devastating human cost and psychological impact to the profound economic, political, and geographic changes it unleashed. They explore how the war reshaped nations and empires, altered the role of government and ideology, and set the conditions for continued violence, revolution, and instability across Europe and beyond. The episode concludes by grappling with the most difficult question of all: whether the Great War was worth the staggering price it demanded, and whether anything positive ultimately emerged from the conflict.
