Ep. 0055: Save Yourself
Join CJ as he discusses historical examples of people saving themselves, such as:
- The story of Xenophon and the Ten Thousand, a group of Greek mercenaries who were left stranded in the heart of the Persian Empire & had to fight their way home
- The story of Frederick Douglass, who liberated himself from slavery, educated himself, and became a top abolitionist activist
- The Russo-Finnish Wars that took place during World War II, and the contrast of how Finland fared with how states such as Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, & Estonia fared
- Jews who either escaped or fought against the Nazis during World War II
- [NOTE: I accidentally said “the Soviets suffered fewer than 100 casualties” while conquering eastern Poland in 1939; it should have been “fewer than 1,000.”]
