About this listen

Hey guys, welcome back to the Why Wars Happened History Podcast, where you learn about the causes of wars and things like, why did it happen? Was it inevitable? Who was involved?

Sometimes I go back hundreds of years just so we can understand what happened in our narrative episodes covering the long course of a war and the background of the war.

And if you want to talk more about war, we also have authors, historians, war generals, royalty, actors, filmmakers, a whole bunch of people come on as guests and we talk about everything about before, during, and after war. So let's go!

The Why Wars Happened History Podcast covers The American Revolution, World War I, World War II, Medieval Wars in England, The Habsburg Empire, The War in Iraq, Scottish wars, The War of the Roses, The Cuban Missile Crisis, The Cold War, The Thirty Years War, The Hundred Years War, The American Civil War, and many others.

------------------------------------------------------------

In this episode of Why Wars Happened History Podcast, we pick up right where we left off: Governor Berkeley defies the king’s orders to return to England, manipulating royal pardons and punishing rebels. Herbert Jeffreys steps in as the temporary governor and faces major pushback from the Assembly, all while dealing with serious illness. The Assembly won’t back down and keeps punishing rebels despite the king’s orders, holding out hope for Berkeley’s return.
