History of the Marine Corps
Join host, Robert Estrada, as he takes you back before the United States was a thought. Starting with the rise of Tun Tavern, History of the Marine Corps covers significant U.S. events, conflicts, strategies, political decisions, and the origin of Marine Corps traditions. What role did Marines play during the American Revolution? What challenges did Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon face as he marched towards Tripoli? How did Marines get to the Halls of Montezuma? We’ll dig into the details and share the story of the Corps. Neither the United States Marine Corps nor any other component of the Department of Defense has approved, endorsed, or authorized this product (or promotion, or service, or activity).
The United States spent eight years occupying the Dominican Republic, and the Marines were responsible for maintaining law and order. We discuss the challenges of US intervention and end the episode by reviewing a similar scenario taking place next door in Haiti.
