S5 E04 - Josh Provan on What If's and Counterfactuals

This week we are joined by the Historian, Author and Youtuber, Josh Provan who has come on to rage that WHAT IF’S AND COUNTERFACTUALS ARE POINTLESS and that we have taken these well beyond the parlour game they should be.We’ll be talking Samurai vs Knight, justifications for an outcome people won’t accept and in some cases where people bang on about a ‘What if’ that actually happened.You can see and hear more of Josh’s work by subscribing to his YouTube Channel, Adventures in Historyland, you can buy his book “Wild East: The British in Japan 1854-1868” from the History Rage Bookshop and you can follow him on Twitter @LandofHistoryYou can follow History Rage on Twitter @HistoryRage and let us know what you wish people would just stop believing using the Hashtag #HistoryRage.You can follow History Rage on Twitter @HistoryRage and let us know what you wish people would just stop believing using the Hashtag #HistoryRage.
