Summary:
Part 1: The secret behind Rome's rise as an ancient hegemon is revealed. Rome did not always end its battles in victory. In fact many began in defeat. The 2nd Punic War which broke out in 218 BC was the biggest crisis in Rome's history. Rome was able to hold the Roman alliance together even as it stood on the brink of collapse.
Part 2: The story of the downfall of the world's most powerful Armada, and the rise of the Great British empire. In the 16th century, the Spanish Armada was known as the invincible fleet. However, it suffered a huge defeat in 1588 in its invasion of England. Explore how the invincible fleet had become so weak in 17 short years and how the small island of England was able to prevail over the Spanish empire.
Part 3: Historians reveal the secret behind the Mongolian Empire, which claimed the world in just half a century. Spanning from the Korean peninsula in the Far East to Europe in the west, it began with just a tiny group of nomads, not even 100,000 men strong. They were able to transform themselves from a group of barbarians to the most technologically advanced nation in the world.
Part 4: Recounts the rise of the Netherlands from its humble beginnings in the 16th century as a country the size of a province to its belle époque in the 17th century. In 1492, Spain banished its entire Jewish population, beginning their exodus through Portugal which culminated in their settling in the Netherlands. When the Dutch declared independence from Spain, freedom of religion became its national creed.
Part 5: We take a look at how the civil rights movement of the 1960s transformed the United States. Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, the NAACP, from Selma to Detroit, fought the Ku Klux Klan and other racists for basic human rights and equality. We find out how the divisive chasm of race was addressed, and the impact this had on American society.
Part 6: Leading academics discuss the factors behind the global influence of great powers. They offer insights into why Japan and Germany failed in their bid for hegemony and whether China could replace the United States as the next superpower. Finally, we hear about Korea's strategy for the 21st century as it tackles the Dokdo dispute, inter-Korean relations and treads between the US and China.
