80 years after the end of the Second World War, the roles of the UK, US and the then Soviet Union are rightfully celebrated. But the crucial role played by China in the conflict is too often forgotten.

So in this special programme, Jamie Owen talks to a panel of experts to consider just why that is, and also to see whether the lessons learned and institutions founded 80 years ago remain relevant today.

At a unique event in Liverpool, Jamie is joined by Professor Yangwen Zheng from the University of Manchester, historians Dr Frances Wood and Dr Robert Lyman, Spain’s former Foreign Minister Ana Palacio, and ex-Prime Minister of Hungary, Peter Medgyessey.
