On the Wrong Side of History 2 | Crusades, Prohibition, Trail of Tears, Iraq War, and the Reign of Terror

In this episode of English Plus Podcast, we explore five historical events that, despite their noble intentions, left behind legacies of destruction, betrayal, and regret. What happens when faith becomes a cover for greed, as seen in the Crusades? How did the Prohibition era turn citizens into criminals and unleash organized crime? The Trail of Tears, sold as a humanitarian solution, led to the forced migration and death of thousands of Native Americans. Fast-forward to the Iraq War, and ask yourself: Can a conflict based on deception ever lead to peace? Finally, we wrap up with the French Revolution's Reign of Terror—how does a fight for liberty spiral into tyranny?

Join Danny in this captivating episode as we reflect on these turning points in history and the lessons they still hold for us today.
