Hi there, my name is Zach Twomley. You're about to listen to the latest episode of the Versailles

Anniversary Project. You're very welcome to this latest episode. It carries on from before where we were

talking about Poland. Now we're talking about the rest of Eastern Europe so that nobody feels

left out. Another very big episode, because those Eastern Europeans do need a lot of time,

which just goes to show even further in case you didn't

know that this is a listener-supported podcast. We're able to delve into these things in such

detail because you guys support this podcast so well. Whether you're supporting us for free,

simply by sharing stuff, or spreading the word, telling your friends, telling your history

friends, etc. Or whether you're supporting us on Patreon, from as little as a dollar a month,

you guys will get some pretty cool stuff back.

Whether you're doing any of that or just a little bit of that,

thanks so much because your support goes a long way and it helps to make sure that I can justify

doing this as my job.

Think about Eastern Europe and the Paris Peace

Conference. When do you even hear anything about that? The answer is, you really don't hear very

much. When people talk about the Treaty of Versailles, they talk about Germany and that's about it.

But there was a lot of stuff going on at this point 100 years ago, and it's my duty to tell

you exactly what was going down. But yes, as I said, for $1 a month, you can get some pretty cool stuff.

Do you want to know more about Louis X-14th era and how he fought wars?

Check out the 10-part series, Louis X-14th Arms and Armies, which came out in summer 2017,

and which I've since released for $1 patrons and above. If you're interested in that kind of thing, check that stuff out.

Maybe be really cheeky about it and sign up for $1 a month and then stop paying as soon as you get your fill of the weight of 14's arms and armies.
