Summary

Don't forget that for a limited time you can get 16% off an annual Patreon membership - sign up now to get 40 hours of exclusive content AND listen to our new series on Anglo-American diplomacy from 1838-1846. Your support will help me become Dr Zack!

It's about time I dropped my research on you guys, so in this episode we'll be plumbing the depths of something I've mentioned many times, but rarely taken the time to define or explain properly - national honour. What was it, where did it come from, what role did it play in mid-Victorian diplomacy, and how did contemporaries use it in their construction and presentation of foreign policy? All these questions and more will be addressed, so if you're ready for a chunky episode on a concept barely understood in the histories, you've come to the right place!

0:55.1	property, I think its size is justified.
0:59.0	Rest assured, I could have spoken for three more hours than this, but at the very least,
1:03.4	by the end, you should have a much clearer picture of what National Honor is, why it matters
1:08.8	so much and how I intend to approach it for my PhD research
1:13.3	that I've talked so much about already. Since I started the PhD in 2019, I've never really
