Mancunian Magic: How Manchester Shaped the World

From its humble beginnings as a Roman fort to its status as the world's first industrialized city, Manchester has shaped our modern world in unexpected ways. Join hosts Hari and Kimi on Wiki Featured as they explore the radical history of this Northern powerhouse, uncovering everything from a Puritan ban on Christmas to the tragic Peterloo Massacre. We delve into how Manchester became Cottonopolis, birthed the Trades Union Congress, and served as the meeting place where Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels drafted the Communist Manifesto. But Manchester is also a scientific and cultural juggernaut that split the atom, built the first stored-program computer, and isolated graphene. Discover how the city rebuilt itself after industrial decline and a devastating 1996 bombing to become the UK's most liveable city, exporting legendary music acts like Oasis and dominating global sports.
