After the Second World War, Hitler became the most significant moral reference point in the West. Our ethical, political and legal systems were moulded in his shadow. But the Age of Hitler may now be drawing to a close. I spoke with Alec Ryrie, professor of the history of...

“The world is collapsing.” That was Professor Jiang response when I asked him what was front of mind for him right now. Professor Jiang predicted the last global shifts before many people saw them coming. Now he’s back making new predictions about what happens next. After our first conversation reached 16 million views, I wanted to speak with Jiang again to really understand why he believes the world is entering such an uncertain period and what he thinks we should be paying attention to next. Professor Jiang is a Yale-educated geopolitics expert who studies history, power and human behaviour to understand how the events of today could shape the future In this conversation, we discussed things like: - Why he believes the current global order is changing. - How the US dollar became the foundation of the modern economy. - Why wars, technology and economics are more connected than most people realise. - His predictions for America, China, AI and the future of global power. - How history can help us understand where the world may be heading. Jiang doesn’t just look at individual events - he looks at the bigger systems behind them and asks what happens when those systems start to change. The longer I spoke to Jiang, the more I realised that the world doesn’t change by accident. It changes because of decisions, incentives and human behaviour. Understanding those forces might be the key to understanding what happens next... Out now on all platforms ❤️👊🏾

"The Munich Agreement" – history lessons. Looking at current events, of course 1938 comes to mind. At that time, Munich city became a symbol of one of the most fateful decisions in history and the greatest diplomatic failure of the 20th century. It was in Munich in 1938 that Great Britain and France signed an agreement with Germany and Italy to appease Hitler. The agreement is also known as the Munich Betrayal. ◾️In 1938, Great Britain and France, seeking to avoid war, signed the Munich Agreement, allowing Hitler to occupy the Sudetenland, where many ethnic Germans lived. Czechoslovakia was not even invited to the negotiations - it was simply presented with a done deal. ◾️Upon returning to London, then-Prime Minister Chamberlain solemnly declared "peace for our time." Just six months later, Hitler violated the agreement by occupying all of Czechoslovakia, and soon after, unleashed World War II. ◾️The Munich Conspiracy became a vivid example of how making concessions to dictators leads not to peace, but to even greater aggression. It was a failure of the appeasement policy, which cost the world tens of millions of lives. ◾️87 years later, the world is once again facing challenges that demand wisdom and determination. ◾️History teaches us that dialogue with dictators is only possible from a position of strength and unity. Concessions only fuel the appetite of those who will not stop until they get everything. And mistakes come at a very high price. 📹: Neville Chamberlain's speech after signing the Munich agreement with Hitler/ Iconic/YouTube
