      <title>ch. 26 Imperialism</title>
      <link>http://hankshistoryhour.com/2008/03/23/imperialism/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Hey, I know this is not in the right order, but I wanted to try to catch up to everyone. I will probably go back and do the missing 2 after I finish with the rest. So, this is imperialism, a time when European nations colonized the rest of the world and didn’t care what cultures they destroyed to accomplish their goals. You will hear about the massacre at Khartoum, the cruel King Leopold, and the Boxer Rebellion. ]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The most boring (and thankfully shortest) chapter. It is only about 15-20 minutes, so just push through it. Industrial Revolution is slightly more interesting. I promise.]]></description>

You will hear about how Napoleon seized power, how he maintained and expanded it, and how he eventually lost it in one of the greatest military blunders of all time.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[The French Revolution is one of the most important events that you will learn about in AP Euro.

      <description><![CDATA[While the scientific minds of Europe were expanding, so were the social reforms and the enlightened musing of its rulers and educated class. You will hear about Voltaire's caffeine addiction, Soldier King's hydrophobic son, and a couple of small wars.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[n this next chapter, we will take a sharp u-turn from the progress of Constutionalism and talk about the total dictatorships of Austria, Prussia, and Russia. Be prepared for kings who throw enemies to ravenous dogs and emperors who cripple clumsy servants, because this is EASTERN EUROPE!]]></description>

      <link>http://hankshistoryhour.com/2007/10/20/ch-16-constitutionalism/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The second Ch. 16 Podcast. Constitutionalism is the basis for the American governmental system, but our system didn’t begin with a ruthless, Christian-fundamentalist dictator seizing power, beheading the King, and creating a police state. All hail Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[& Alas, another long chapter. This one has been split into Absolutism and Constitutionalism. This Podcast is on Absolutism, definitely the most badass of the 2. You will mostly hear about the Louis XIV, the pompous, overweight, love machine (?) of France.]]></description>

      <link>http://hankshistoryhour.com/2007/10/20/ch-15-the-age-of-exploration/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Hey everyone…here is the second Podcast for chapter 15: The Age of Exploration. You will learn about all of the great European explorers, their conquests, and the terrible diseases that they unleashed on the native population. Don’t worry, the Native Americans got their revenge.
Hint: Al Capone died from it…]]></description>

      <title>Chapter 15 Part 1: The Religious Wars</title>
      <link>http://hankshistoryhour.com/2007/10/07/ch-15-part-1/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This is the first huge chapter, so I have divided it into 2 podcasts. The chapter begins with the religious wars: the War of Three Henry’s, the Dutch Revolt, and, my personal favorite, the 30 Years War. This was one of the most tumultous times in the history of the world. The 30 Years War, as you will see, was basically the first World War, with basically every country in Europe fighting against one another. You will see the forming of much of modern Europe, and you will analyze whether or not the religious wars were actually religious or not.

Hint: They Weren’t.]]></description>

      <title>Chapter 14 The Reformation</title>
      <link>http://hankshistoryhour.com/?p=10</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The second podcast. I actually really like this one, even though it concerns one of, in my opinion, the most boring topics in European History: the Protestant Separation from the Catholic Church. Not that it was a boring time, but the chapter itself is pretty dull. You will hear about more corrupt popes, good old Henry “Chopped off my wives’ heads” VIII, and some pretty corrupt political dealings. Somewhat religious, and definitely bizarre, this is the Reformation…]]></description>

      <title>Chapter 13 The Renaissance</title>
      <link>http://hankshistoryhour.com/?p=4</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Well, here it is, my first podcast ever. Please, don’t judge me too harshly from this: I was very nervous when I recorded it. This chapter discusses the culture and politics of the Renaissance in both Italy and the Netherlands. You will hear about the emerging middle class, the new artwork of the period, and the political alliances of the time.]]></description>
