The Channel Tunnel
For centuries, the English Channel served as a moat that kept the conflicts of Continental Europe away from the island of Great Britain. While it served as a barrier for armies, it also served as a hindrance to commerce. The movement of goods and people across the English Channel was much more difficult than he small distance that had to be crossed. Some dreamed of one day taming that barrier, and in the 1990s, that dream came true. Learn more about the Channel Tunnel, aka the Chunnel, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
