As tensions once again focus the world's attention on the Strait of Hormuz, it's worth asking a bigger question: Why has this tiny stretch of water shaped global history for more than five centuries?
In this episode of The Roger Retrospective, Roger Horn traces the remarkable story of Hormuz—from the medieval Kingdom of Hormuz and the Portuguese Age of Exploration to the British Empire, Churchill's decision to power the Royal Navy with oil, and America's role in safeguarding one of the world's most vital maritime chokepoints.
Along the way, you'll discover why geography often outlasts politics, why every great maritime power has been drawn to the same strategic waterways, and why today's headlines are simply the latest chapter in a much older story.
Because sometimes history isn't written by kings, presidents, or generals.
Sometimes it's written by the map.
Topics include:
The medieval Kingdom of Hormuz
Vasco da Gama and the Portuguese maritime empire
The British Empire's global network of chokepoints
Churchill, Persian oil, and the birth of modern energy geopolitics
The Carter Doctrine and America's Fifth Fleet
Why geography still shapes the modern world
Today's world, through the lens of history.
