Meet the German Empire's WWI Herculean Heavy tank

*Caleb Larson* *World War I History, Europe* The British may have built the first tanks, but the German Empire perfected it. *Here's what you need to remember:* In some ways, the A7V may have contributed more to World War II than World War I, as evidenced by Nazi Germany’s armored tank designs of the era which were quite advanced compared to their contemporaries. Either way, the A7V makes for a fascinating piece of World War I history. Quite a few military innovations made widespread combat debut on the various battlefields of World War I—including submarines, machine guns, ai... read more

The empire on which the sun never sets

In his *Histories*, Herodotus says that before invading Greece in 480 BC, Persian Emperor Xerxes made a speech in which he said, “We shall extend the Persian territory as far as God's heaven reaches. The sun will then shine on no land beyond our borders.” During the Age of Imperialism, these words spoken by Xerxes became an inspiration for the Spanish and the British—they started bragging that they were an empire on which the sun never sets. read more

Nazi Technology Was Underwhelming To Americans

*Robert Farley* *World War II, Germany* There is no national, autarkic strategy for successful technological innovation. *Here's What You Need to Know*: Why weren’t the Germans as dominant in technology as the Americans had expected? O’Reagan offers a few reasons. The noxious, anti-semitic nature of the German regime drove many scientists and engineers away, including large numbers of Jews who resettled in Britain and the United States. Finally, while the immense German investment in military capabilities drove some innovation, it also drew funding away from basic research and c... read more
