概要

What if a single week contained the birth of modern Europe, the origins of the English Bible, the spark of the global labour movement, and the dawn of the jet age? It does — and this episode covers all of it.

We begin on April 27, 711, when Tariq ibn Ziyad landed at Gibraltar and launched the Islamic conquest of Hispania — a transformation that would reshape European civilisation for centuries. We move to 1667 London, where a blind John Milton sold Paradise Lost for ten pounds, and then out to the Pacific, where the crew of HMS Bounty mutinied against Lieutenant William Bligh in 1789. James Cook lands at Botany Bay in 1770, opening the eastern coast of Australia to European maps for the first time.

J. J. Thomson announces the discovery of the electron at London's Royal Institution in 1897. England and Scotland unite under the Act of Union in 1707. Queen Victoria opens the Great Exhibition at the Crystal Palace in 1851. Chicago's Haymarket Square erupts in 1886, giving the world Workers' Day. The King James Bible rolls off the press in 1611. And in 1952, a De Havilland Comet lifts off from Heathrow on the first scheduled commercial jet service in history.

Ten events. Thirteen centuries. One week on the calendar. This is where history lives.
