Summary

On This Day in history a century ago! What else, other than that infamous scene. After more than eight months, we reach that scene. What exactly was the Hall of Mirrors like to sit in? We have the answers. What did the Germans look like? Again, we have it covered. What were the consequences, of these signatures of the century? Again, we have it covered in Episode 82 of this whopper project. We've been on quite a journey over the last few months, and I couldn't have done without you all. So thanksss so much - sit back, relax and mark this regretful anniversary the only way we can, by listening and wondering what might have been, or how it should have ended.


See you on the other side of Versailles....

Something else is exactly we'll be getting into in September when two new series start.

0:13.7

The first is our 30 Years' War series, which is available for everyone.

patrons and above. If you'd like to listen to this bad boy, which I'm really looking forward

0:27.0

to releasing to you guys, then make sure to go to patreon.com forward slash when diplomacy fails.

0:32.7

If not, and you're just looking forward to the 30 Years War instead, or maybe you're just not

0:36.5

really sure what you're going to listen to once this whole project is finished,

0:39.9

because it's been your life for the past eight months, and you're starting to feel a bit crazy.

0:44.6

Oh no, wait, that's me, that's who I am.

0:47.3

Anyway, you should be looking forward to this stuff because I've been putting an awful lot of work into it, and I know that when history friends come across something

0:54.7

that Zach Twomley has invested far too much time into

0:57.5

and provided far too much details to,

1:00.2

they really tend to enjoy these things.

1:02.6

This is a roundabout way of me saying,

1:05.0

thanks for your support and your enthusiasm

1:07.1

over the last several months,

1:09.2

as we clearly begin to wind down this project.

1:12.6

Before we do that, though, we have, of course, to hit probably the most significant and

1:23.1

introduction bits. Instead, I'm just going to get right into it. I hope you enjoy this episode,
