Between 1791 and 1804, the only successful slave rebellion in human history occurred.
The revolution was an insurrection of enslaved Africans against French colonial rule in the Caribbean colony of Saint-Dominge.
The success of the revolution led to the establishment of a free state known as Haiti.
Yet, despite achieving their freedom, the aftermath of the Haitian Revolution has led to long-term problems that plague the country to this day.
Learn more about the Haitian Revolution and why it was successful on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Fabergé Eggs
In 1885, the Russian Tsar Alexander III commissioned an Easter gift for his wife.
It was a rather unusual gift. He asked one of the finest goldsmiths in the country to create a jeweled egg.
However, it wasn’t just to be an expensive bauble. Inside the egg was to be another exquisite surprise.
This began a tradition that would last for over 30 years and resulted in some of the finest and most valuable decorative works of art in the world.
Learn about Fabergé Eggs, their creation, and the stories behind them on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Transistors
One of the most important inventions of the 20th century was the transistor.
Prior to the transistor, electronic devices were large and bulky and dependent on vacuum tubes. Vacuum tubes were large, fragile, power-hungry, and prone to failure.
The transistor not only replaced the vacuum tube in many applications but also enabled the miniaturization and reliability required for modern electronics, including computers, phones, and spacecraft.
Learn more about transistors, how they work, and how they were invented on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Over nearly 30 years, the two city-states fought for supremacy, leaving a lasting impact on the Greek world.
