Many people think that the closest the world ever came to nuclear war was during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
To be sure, that was a very tenuous point in history.
However, there is a good argument to be made that the closest the world has come to nuclear war actually took place in 1969. The reason most people are unaware of what happened is that it had nothing to do with the United States.
It was two other nuclear powers who almost went to war.
Learn more about the 1969 Sino-Soviet Border Conflict, how it changed the course of the Cold War, and almost led to nuclear disaster on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Origins of the Federal Reserve
In 1913, the United States created its third national bank.
Unlike the previous two, this bank was organized in a completely different manner. It was organized differently, in an effort to avoid the problems of the previous national banks.
Also, unlike the previous national banks, the creation of the Federal Reserve was not done openly and subject to public debate. It was created using secrets and subterfuge.
Learn more about the creation of the Federal Reserve and the very odd way it was created on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Dominican Republic
Known for its beautiful beaches, vast history, and unique culture, the Dominican Republic is one of the Caribbean's crown jewels.
However, it has had a history totally unlike its neighbors. Even Haiti, which shares an island with the Dominican Republic, went down a totally different path.
Today, the Dominican Republic is a relatively stable, prosperous country, yet its past has been marked by violence, political turmoil, and chaos.
Learn about the history of the Dominican Republic on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Questions and Answers: Volume 36
November, the 9th month of the Roman calendar and the 11th month in our calendar, is upon us.
It is the month when we think of turkeys, pilgrims, and when the weather gets colder.
It is also the month when people will fight each other to the death for discount television sets on Black Friday.
Most importantly, it is the month where you ask questions and I answer them.
Stay tuned for the 36th installment of questions and answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pumpkins
Pumpkins are a staple of the autumn season, used in events like Halloween and Thanksgiving as symbols of the holidays and in various culinary dishes.
Pumpkins, which are technically a fruit, not a vegetable, are one of the oldest domesticated plants in the world and have been used for centuries in various ways.
Today, it is the basis for pumpkin spice, which can be found in almost everything.
Learn about pumpkins and why the fruit has become such a symbol on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
