On November 30, 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Finland.
The Soviet Union forced the Finns to sue for peace after three months of fighting, and on paper, one could conclude that the Soviets won.
However, despite the supposed military victory, the Soviets' performance and the resistance they faced severely damaged their reputation as a military force to be taken seriously.
It was something that other European leaders took notice of.

The History of NATO
In the years following the end of the Second World War, the post-war world that many in the West hoped for never materialized.
Their former ally, the Soviet Union, turned from friend to foe. They installed puppet communist governments in all of the countries they occupied when pushing their way to Germany, and now the concern was that the Soviets would try to take over the rest of Europe.
In response, twelve nations in Western Europe and North America joined together in a military alliance, the likes of which hadn’t been seen before in history.
Learn more about NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, how it formed, and how it evolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The 1989 Romanian Revolution
In November 1989, the world changed when the Berlin Wall came down, marking the beginning of the unraveling of the Iron Curtain.
Almost a month later, on December 16, 1989, Romania faced a sudden revolution that led to the fall of its central government in just over a week.
While Romania was one of many Eastern European Communist countries that revolted in 1989, the revolution there, unlike those in other countries, was violent and deadly.
Learn more about the 1989 Romanian Revolution and how it unfolded on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Younger Dryas
Around 12,900 years ago, the last ice age was ending. Things were warming up, and the glaciers were starting to recede. …and then something happened.
For about 1,200 years, the climate reversed and got colder again.
When this cooling trend ended and the ice age was finally over, it also happened to coincide with the rise of agriculture and human civilization.
Learn more about the Younger Dryas, some of its possible causes, and how it impacted humanity on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Popcorn
Almost everyone has had popcorn and some of you have even probably had some recently.
Popcorn can be made at home, can be purchased pre packaged in stores, and has been tightly associated with movie theaters.
Yet, despite seeming like a rather modern snack, popcorn has actually been around for thousands of years. It exists because of a unique attribute of corn.
Learn about the history of popcorn and how it has become one of the most popular snacks in the world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
