RIHC: The Ottoman Empire, James Bond and the Titanic Submersible

Does a mighty power need a formidable rival in order to become great? Was 20th century British culture uniquely British? When was the term democracy first applied to Western political systems?

And, which historical topics should all children be taught at school?

Join Tom and Dominic for this week's bonus episode, as they discuss these intriguing historical questions.
