History
The events and decisions that built the modern world, and what each one cost.
Pandemics, fires, reactors, empires and near-misses — told as sequences of decisions rather than dates. Every video follows one thing from the choice that set it in motion to the consequence nobody planned.
Figures on screen carry their date, unit and source.
