I'd love something about an African country, e.g. Rwanda would be a grim one with it's civil war

The Paraguayan War (1864-1870). Some mad bastard in Asuncion decided to invade Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay all at once. Then 95% of his male compatriots got killed. And they blamed it on the Brits.

Speculation on pre history especially interactions between cavemen and neanderthals

Given that there is a whole country named after you up here in the north, you could do an episode about history of Finland. Would fit easily within 30 minutes and there are nazis.

Is the Emu war loss worse than Britain’s loss to Iceland in the Cod wars (not fought against cod but over it)?
tobias_bobias
Portugal and Brazil's ’colonial’ relationship. Portugal as the abusive military dad that used to sneak into Brazil's bedroom at night and diddle him when he was younger. Now, Portugal's a fat, disabled alcoholic doing customer support for British tourists while working from home, spends his time reminiscing about the good old days. Brazil's still a bit fucked up in the head, but he has left home, kind of processed things in therapy, and is on a wild gap yah having the time of his life.

I recently found out that Himmler was 5ft 7. Goebbels was 5ft 5. I am confident that I could pick either of them up by the back of their collar and the back of their poofy little belt and battering ram them into a fence post, compressing their spine in the process. I find this hilarious. I didn't really have a question and I mainly just wanted to share this revelation but I guess I'll just ask you guys now, which dictator or one of the henchmen do you reckon you could battering ram into a fence post? Or if you had the Wehrmacht amount of speed in your system, who would you choose to, given your now infinite strength?
