'History has forbidden questions... ones that feel morally dangerous.'
We start asking them in Episode 1 of History Uncensored, where I investigate the Nuremberg trials and ask whether the Nazis were 'normal', drawing on the experience of my own family.

5/5 China โ Dongzhi Festival (winter solstice)
Turning point in the cosmic balance of yin and yang. Families gathered. Ritual foods eaten (glutinous rice balls in m south & dumplings in north). Emphasis was on the restoration of harmony after the peak of darkness.
Chinese winter solstice festival
4/5 Persiaโ Yalda Night (winter solstice)
Longest night of the year, associated with danger & darkness. Families stayed awake together, lit fires, recited poetry & ate symbolic fruits like pomegranates to guard against evil + ensure the return of light.
Safavid Persian miniature (16th c.)
3/5 Norse Scandinavia โ Yule (Jรณl), midwinter
Multi-day festival: feasting, ale-drinking, unbreakable oath-swearing & sacrifices for prosperity and victory. Fires were kept burning. Toasts made to gods like Odin and Freyr, to rulers and the dead.
Altnordisches Julfest (1880) by Ferdinand Lindner
2/5 Ancient Rome โ Saturnalia (17โ23 December)
A public festival honouring Saturn. Work stopped. Slaves and masters dined together. Roles inverted. Homes were decorated with greenery. Small gifts were exchanged, like figurines and candles.
Long before Christmas, cultures across the world marked midwinter in strikingly similar ways, because they were responding to the same existential reality: the darkest, coldest, most dangerous time of the yearโฆ

Maps, myths and footnotes are my happiest place - and the BEST bit is, now I get to bring you into it.
Step into my paper-strewn study of book towers, peculiar relics and other questionable acquisitionsโฆ
Now, to my continued disbelief, I get to spend my weeks buried in books, talking to world-class experts whose work Iโve loved since university, tracing the taboo, contested and long-hidden threads of the past.

History Uncensored is coming soon to YouTube & Spotify.
My Year 3 report said I wanted to be a โhistorian & history presenter.โ
Iโm still that kid (minus the orthodontics).
What formula doesnโt capture:
โขFX shifts โ currency changes can offset tariff effects
โขRetaliation โ does not take counter-tariffs into account
โขSupply chains โ e.g. rerouting via third countries
โขLong-term shifts โ firms may relocate, buyers may substitute etc
Intention: eliminate bilateral trade deficit
Depends on:
1. Elasticity. If demand is price-sensitive, small tariff shrinks import volumes sharply.
2. Pass-through. If exporters absorb costs, U.S. prices stay low, imports donโt fall.
3. Larger import volume= bigger tariff needed
