About this listen

 We take for granted that central governments - sovereign states - are the ultimate political force in the world, but it wasn't always this way. Between 1350 and 1650, this form of government vanquished city-states, town leagues, and smaller lordships to dominate first Europe and then the world. In this episode of Tides of History, we explore how that happened.©2024 Wondery / Patrick Wyman (P)2024 Wondery / Patrick Wyman

Thank you for doing these, not only is it informative about the way things used to be, but totally relevant and helps me understand why things are the way they are. As well as what is useful and what is not.

Fantastic
