Casus Belli: War, History, Geography

 
 
 

 

Thank you for visiting Casus Belli.

The goal of this podcast and associated blog is to explore war, history, and geography through the lens of the various conflicts. We will see how how history impacts current events and how geography shapes that history. The Casus Belli podcast will cover a range of topics from the war in Afghanistan to how America's perceptions of war have changed over time. The Saga of World War 2 covers the entirety of World War 2 from beginning to end. Ultimately though, the object of this podcast is to gain a deeper understanding of the conflicts, past and present.
