The Crimean War was fought to decide which of the five empires that dominated Europe in the nineteenth century would become the most powerful. Two of the empires involved, Britain and France, fought to maintain the status quo. The Russian Empire fought for the right to expand its territory in eastern Europe and elsewhere. The Austrian Empire remained neutral throughout this war while the Ottoman Empire, once the most powerful in the world, survived a Russian attack but was revealed to be weak and destined for eventual collapse. The Crimean War did not directly change the world, but it led indirectly to changes that were to completely re-shape Europe.

Santa Claus—otherwise known as Saint Nicholas or Kris Kringle—has a long history steeped in Christmas traditions. Today, he is thought of mainly as the jolly man in red who brings toys to good girls and boys on Christmas Eve, but his story stretches all the way back to the 3rd century when Saint Nicholas walked the earth and became the patron saint of children. In today's episode, we explore not Santa's early roots, but also the Norse mythology roots as well. To cap off this episode we discuss Santa in America and the commercialization of the Kris Kringle.
------
In Part 2 we discuss the commercialization of Santa and his pagan roots.
