Maybe Great Britain? The Soviet Union? The Mongols? Sure. But what if I told you that the United States is also an empire. And always has been.\nOur guest this episode is Daniel Immerwahr, author of the book "How to Hide an Empire" and an associate history professor at Northwestern University. In his book he argues that the United States has been an empire since it's inception. We claimed lands owned by native peoples, and then expanded into places like the Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, and more. This is the story of war, greed, resources, and tragedy.\nHelpful Links:\n\nWe recorded some the games in this episode at the Spark Christian Podcast Conference\n\n\nA lecture from Daniel regarding his book\n\nWe received help from these artists:\n\nStand up comedian Nick Staron (Napoleon)\n\nHolland Webb of the Afterword Podcast\n\n\nAngel McCoy from Angel Reads the Bible\n\n\nColleen and Danny from Fitness at Houston's First\n\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
