This episode, Grade 12 Student Hasham Renjbal dives into the rise, reign, and fall of ISIS, one of the most violent terrorist organizations in modern history. From their origins in post-war Iraq to their global media machine and brutal tactics, we look at how they gained power, ruled through fear, and what their legacy means today.

This episode was researched and produced by Hasham as part of his CHY4U World History course RST - where students were challenged to research a topic from 1950-Present that was either in Billy Joel's or Fallout Boy's "We Didn't Start the Fire" (1989 or 2024)
