If you were to ask most people what year they associate with the American Revolution, it would be 1776. That was the year that the Continental Congress declared Independence.
However, 1776 wasn’t the start of the revolution, nor was it the end of the revolution. In fact, if it hadn’t been for the Declaration of Independence, it would have gone down as a pretty horrible year for the revolution.
For my money, the most interesting year of the revolution was actually the first year, 1775.
Learn more about 1775 and the start of the American Revolution on the 1775th episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Norman Conquest
On October 14, 1066, England changed forever.
Forces from Normandy, France, defeated the English King and changed life in England forever.
It affected everyone from the aristocracy down to the commoners, and it even trickled down to the very language spoken in the country itself.
In fact, the events of 1066 can still be seen and felt today.

Miyamoto Musashi (Encore)
In the early 17th century, Japan was witness to a samurai who was arguably its greatest warrior ever.
He wasn’t just one of the greatest swordsmen in history; he was a philosopher, a writer, an artist, and, in contravention to the samurai code at the time, he was a vagabond.
Today, he is considered a saint of Japanese martial arts, and he has been portrayed in Japanese movies and books.
Learn more about Miyamoto Musashi, Japan’s greatest swordsman on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
