A longer than usual episode which provides an overall look at the world in 1762 - just at the point when Catherine was starting her reign in Russia.
Britannia ruled the waves (or was starting to) and the age of enlightenment and the trans-atlantic slave trade were approaching their respective zeniths.
The agrarian and industrial revolutions were just getting underway, and Augustus III of Poland-Lithuania and Saxony had the largest collection of hats and wigs in Europe.
