The History of Military Ranks

Every military in the world is a hierarchal organization. There are people at the top who make decisions, people down below who follow those orders, and people in between who make it happen. 
Today, most militaries have an elaborate rank structure with multiple ranks in the chain of command. 
However, it wasn’t always like that. The modern system of ranks evolved over time, and the ranks that exist today have origins that go back centuries. 
Learn more about military ranks, where they came from, and what they mean on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
