Summary

In this episode of BGTW we examine the months of December 1877 and January 1878. Two months in which Cabinet unity and personal relationships were tested to their limits, where Salisbury's loyalties are fought over by Disraeli and Derby, and where on numerous occasions Britain looks set to lose its government for the sake of war which some insisted was essential, while others believed it was reprehensible. Hope you'll give it a listen - Thankssssssss!Remember history friends, you can help this podcast and ensure that this is where history thrives!

0:00.0	Hi guys, this is Zach Twomley from When Diplomacy Fails. Just a reminder that When Diplomacy
0:06.2	fails is a member of the Agora Podcast Network. And the Agora Podcast Network is full of
0:12.0	loads of other wonderful podcasts that you should by all means check out from the History of England,
0:17.8	which you I'm sure know very well and love very much, as well as the more recent addition to the network, the History of England, which you, I'm sure, know very well and love very much, as well as the
0:21.7	more recent addition to the network, the History of Islam, which you should also check out.
0:28.2	As is customary, every month, the Agor Podcast Network chooses to shine a new spotlight on a

0:44.0	nature of Tom Daly and his American Biography podcast. American Biography is kind of a jack-of-all-trades
0:52.1	podcast when it comes to American history.
0:54.9	It looks at figures that may not be as well known,
0:57.9	but is also not afraid to delve into the more well-known characters
1:01.4	that American history has produced.
1:04.3	With that in mind, I would also like to inform you of the fact
1:07.9	that the majority of my listeners are in fact American.
1:11.4	And that, I'm sure you are all very much in favour of listening to the odd biography now and then.
1:17.5	In case you can't see where this is going, you should definitely check out American biography.
1:22.3	With that being said, I would like you all to relax and enjoy the show as we take you to mid-December 1877.
1:31.8	Thanks for listening.
