The Darien Scheme
Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography & More
During the 17th century, European nations dominated the world by aggressively establishing colonies across the globe.
Late that century, Scotland sought to join the ranks of these colonial powers with an ambitious effort to seize control of the Darien region in Panama.
This attempt to gain a colonial foothold in the Americas began with tremendous national optimism and unified the country as no prior venture had.
….aaaaand it was a total disaster.
Learn more about the Darien Scheme and Scotland’s failed attempt at becoming a colonial power on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
