    William Walker: The American Who Tried to Conquer Central America

    In the mid-1800s, an American adventurer named William Walker crowned himself president of Nicaragua—and sparked an international crisis. In this episode, we uncover the incredible true story of how one man from Tennessee led a private army, overthrew a foreign government, and tried to build his own empire in Central America.

    Explore how Walker’s ambition, racism, and military aggression made him a symbol of American filibustering, how his rule collapsed in scandal and war, and how his actions still echo in the region’s memory. Discover why this little-known figure nearly changed the course of Latin American history.
