Hi there, my name is Zach Tomley and you're about to listen to the latest episode of When Diplomacy Fails.

This is the Versailles Anniversary Project and we're at episode 42.

If you haven't listened to episodes 41 and below, maybe you won't listen to that.

Otherwise you won't know exactly what's going on here, what Woodrow Wilson was doing in the United States,

who Woodrow Wilson even was, or exactly who Henry Cabot Lodge was,

and what his reservations were all about. This detailed episode is possible because you guys

support this podcast so well. Whether it's monetary support or moral support, it all means

so much, and I couldn't do it, literally could not do it, without your guys'

support.

Trust me when I say, when you're belting out the episodes as I am lately, and these ones are

especially long I realize, it makes all the difference when I know you guys are waiting

for them and also when you guys are helping me spread the word and also just letting me know

that you're enjoying them.

It really does

make such a difference. So thanks so much for that. It seems a bit bizarre to say it, but if you just

cannot get enough content from Zach Twomley, if you would like more content in your life, then make

sure that you go over to patreon.com forward slash when diplomacy fails. For $5 a month, you can get an hour of extra content

every single month. For $1 a month, you could get the Louis XIV's Arms and Armies series.

So if some extra information on that kind of subject is what you'd be interested in, then do go

and check that out. You could even be very naughty about it and sign up for one month and then cancel after one month, and then you will, well, you won't

be charged every single month and you'll get all that lovely, juicy content straight to your

door, or your ears in this case. Patreon is the best way to support this podcast monetarily,
