Episode notes

The motivations behind historical events can be multifaceted and intriguing. For instance, Christopher Columbus's journey to find a route to Asia was partly driven by a desire to convert a Christian Mongol Khan to launch a joint crusade against Muslims, aiming to retake Jerusalem. This lesser-known aspect of Columbus's motivation emphasizes the complex interplay of religion and exploration during that era, revealing how personal ambition, religious fervor, and geopolitical strategy can intertwine to shape significant historical narratives.
