We all know countries were practicing imperialism in the 19th century, but what about random individuals? In this episode, Alexis teaches Hailey about Josiah Harlan, a Quaker from Pennsylvania, decided, after a break up, to never return to America and take over a piece of Afghanistan for himself, just like his hero, Alexander the Great.
