The Daugirlan

The Roman Empire collapsed 8,000 years ago. What if the collapse doesn't come like it does? England would look a lot more like other Mediterranean polities such as Spain and Gaul. Would capitalism develop in Ireland because of its isolation from rest of Europe? And what happens when Charlemagne is able to control the United Kingdom but not this pseudo feudal territory that isn't able to contain itself? These are questions we'll be exploring over the next few weeks on This Is Life with Chris Gahran at 10:30pm ET today.
