Funny enough so much stuff happens to canada but since canada isnt doing anything no one talks about, for instance the US accidentally nuking a few people over there doing tests
I've seen this video being reacted to quite a few times now and it's honestly depressing how many of them either don't know most of it or you get the history nerds that have to pause and explain further what happened after every event. Seriously there's one guy I saw who did a 58 minute reaction to this video....dude.... It wasn't just pausing for copyright either. Too much bruh...
@@FuhqEwe nigga you told someone to not read your comment if they don’t like it. how the fuck is someone supposed to know if they’ll like the comment without reading it?
@@FuhqEwe thats the point of a reaction video genius. if they didn't talk and add their rambling and thoughts it would just be the same shit as the normal video. the point of clicking on a reaction is for the reaction, not the fucking video they are watching.
I love this video so much. My favorite bits are: 3:05 "The sun is a deadly laser" 7:00 "Time to conquer all of india- most of india." 2:44 The add for photosythesis at the start 4:10 "gneusk" 5:00 "More people come" gravity
H-man 17:13: 'Once we got out of the dark ages and the crusades technology was like go' Don't be so ungrateful towards the middle ages! They were the foundation for the socalled 'Renaissance'!
They also weren't really all that primitive, we're increasingly discovering. The collapse of the Roman Empire definitely hurt quality of life for a bit as the massive network of trade collapsed and the military broke down, but in all honesty Rome had been holding back the lands it controlled (including those in Italy proper) for a long time and things majorly improved once new states stabilized. The Church was actually a pretty important part of this process, as well.
14:30 The thing is they really did try to make a religion out of this. They called it the "Cult of Reason" and they tried to scrub away all references to Catholicism. Even to the point of changing the calendar.
omg seriously none of you have seen this before? this is amazing. Have you seen History of Japan by the same person? It pre-dates this (history of the entire world was made because people kept asking if he'd do different countries), and explains the "Intermission" bit when he first mentions Japan here.
Omg yes, this is one of my favourite videos in internet history, I listen to Bill Wurtz' music on the regular and everything, and I never get tired of watching people react to this. It's like a TH-cam rite of passage
I love this video, can't believe it took this long to see you guys did a reaction to it. Watching your brains implode is awesome. Ruff is just like "what the actual fuck am i watching? Did I smoke too much or not enough?" Which is what even those who don't smoke think.
A pure reaction! Very cool that all 4 of you came into this not knowing. I hope you guys do History of Japan next, Japan's history, being a weeb aside, is some of the most interesting national history out there and he does such a great job
10:05 fun fact about the whole Roman Empire thing This moment is when the whole power dynamic of the emperor choosing the pope and the pope crowning the emperor begins and began so many wars between the pope and big kingdom of Europe Also I think a king of France made the anti pope as a middle finger
Hey, I actually act as a consultant with various history and archeology channels! While "History Of The Entire World I Guess" is fun, one MAJOR issue with it is it almost entirely disregards the Precolumbian Americas, even though it's occupies an entire half of the earth's hemispheres (Imagine if it ONLY covered the Americas, but not Europe or Asia before 1500AD: That'd be crazy, right?). This is sadly pretty common in general world history stuff, since a lot of people don't realize just how much the Americas had going on. So below, I'm gonna give my summarized timeline of Mesoamerica (Prehispanic Mexico, Guatemala, etc: So the Aztec, Maya, etc), and I'll point out the VERY few things Bill Wurtz's video also mentions via timestamps as it comes up. Keep reading to see it! The Preclassic Period (1400BC-100AD): In 1400 BC, around the Gulf Coast of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Mexico, the Olmec site of San Lorezno becomes the region's first urban center in 1400 BC, and becomes abandoned by 900 BC, where the more properly urban and socially complex city of La Venta rises to prominence (which is where most of the giant heads are from, 6:20 in the video), which is also when our sole example of Olmec writing dates back to. In the following centuries, urban, state societies continue to pop up, notable ones being the early Maya cities such as El Mirador and Kaminaljuyu; the Zapotec city of Monte Alban in Oaxaca, and Epi-Olmec cities which develop from older Olmec civilization; and all 3 of these develop writing; with many other independent towns and some cities popping up all over. In Western Mexico, during the same period as the Olmec, the Capacha are a culture that developed independently from them, with far reaching examples of pottery and likely trade, but we don't know much about them or Western Mexican cultures in general TheEarly Classic Period (100-500AD): By around 0-200AD, urban cities with state governments and writing (for the elite, anyways) had become the norm in Mesoamerica, marking the transition to the Classical Period. The Maya are at their height here (well, in the latter part of the early classic/the early late classic, 9:10 in the video), with many dozens of large, notable city-states & kingdoms, and thousands of smaller towns all over the Yucatan. Down in Oaxcaca, The Zapotec too have formed many city-states, with Monte Alban in particular rising as the most politically powerful. In Central Mexico, in the Valley of Mexico (in what's now Mexico City) a volcanic eruption displaces much of the population, including the city of Cuicuilco, the most powerful city in the area. These displaced people immigrate into the city of Teotihuacan, which grows into a huge influential political and religious center (9:15 in the video), and with a population of up to 100,000, and eclipsing Rome in physical area, while also having a sewage system and housing even their commoners in lavish palace complexes; and is one of the largest cities in the world at the time (El Mirador was as well). Teotihuacan's influence reaches far across the region, establishing many far reaching architectural, artistic, and religious trends, such as the Talud-tablero archtectural style for pyramids, perhaps even conquering and installing rulers in Maya cities 1000 kilometers away. In western mexico, around the end of the preclassic and start of the classic, the Teuchitlan tradition, the first of Western Mexico's complex societies, emerges (maybe, again, Western Mexico's cultures are very understudied), though less so then the rest of the regi The Late Classic Period (500-900AD) In the latter half of the classic period, you see the rise of El Tajin as a notable influential center among the cities around the Gulf Coast in what's now Central State of Veracruz (the cities/culture there now referred to as the "Classic Veracruz") and Cholula as a notable city in Central Mexico; Monte Alban begins to fall in esteem, with the Zapotec city of Mitla becoming the most prominent city in Oaxaca instead. Teotihuacan begins to decline as well, and in the Yucatan, the cities of Tikal and Calakmul become essentially two super-power city-states among the Maya, centralizing Maya politics around them. Eventually Tikal and it's allies are able to put down Calakmul, shortly thereafter, you have the classical Maya collapse (11:03 in the video), where due to a combination of political instability following this massive war, climate issues, and other factors, nearly all of the large powerful Maya urban centers in the southern Yucatan decline between 700 and 800 AD, with many other key centers around Mesoamerica also doing so. Throughout the Late Classic and Early-Postclassic, West Mexico develops many different city-states with increasing influence from the rest of Mesoamerica The Early Post-Classic Period (900-1200AD) Moving into the Early-postclassic, yet many other cities still thrive and survive, such as El Tajin and Cholula, as do Maya city-states in the Northern Yucatan, such as Chichen Itza and Uxmal. You begin to see the Mixtec in the Oaxaca and Guerrero regions begin to overtake the Zapotec in prominence, in particular a warlord by the name of 8-Deer-Jaguar-Claw conquered and unified nearly the entire southern Oaxaca/Guerrero region into an empire. 8-deer had the blessings and support of the Toltec in Central Mexico (namely the Lord of Cholula), which were apparently, like Teotihuacan before them, a massively influential and far reaching power in the region, maybe operating out of the city of Tula (11:05 in the video), though most of our accounts of Toltec history and key rulers (such as Ce Acatl Topiltzin) are from Aztec accounts and are heavily mythologized. As a result, it's hard to separate history from myth (or from Aztec and latter Spanish attempts to twist Toltec accounts to justify their rule). Around 1100 AD, the Toltecs fall, and 8-deer is overthrown and killed in an ironic twist of fate where the one member of his enemies family who he left alive rallied a bunch of subject cities against him; though Tututepec, a city he founded, would grow into a major state of it's own. The Late Post-Classic Period (1200-1521AD) In the 1200's, The Maya city of Mayapan comes closest to forming a unified Maya state, forming a political alliance of many of the city-states in the northern Yucatan. Due to droughts in northern mexico, you begin to see some groups of Chichimeca (nomadic tribes of Northern Mexico), the Nahuas, move further south into Central and Southern Mexico, and transition into urban societies. Notably many settling around the Valley of Mexico and the surrounding areas, led by the legendary King Xototl, displacing local Otomi cities/towns. In particular, the city of Azcapotzalco, which claims heredity from Xolotl, eventually dominates the valley. During the same time as all this in western Mexico, a Nahua group moved down into the Lake Pátzcuaro region, and takes over and becomes the ruling class of Purepecha city of of Pátzcuaro, which conquers many other cities in the area In the 1420's, due to a succession crisis in Azcapotzalco, one of it's two heirs assassinates the other, as well as the then king of Tenochtitlan, which was one of Azcapotzalco's vassal, tributary cities; as he also had had genealogical links to the Azcapotzalco royal line and also represented a succession threat. War breaks out, and Tenochtitlan, along with the city-states of Texcoco, and Tlacopan join forces and overthrow them, forming the Aztec triple alliance/empire. Over the next 100 years, they rapidly expand and conquer almost all of Central and Southern Mexico, including Otomi cities/towns in Central Mexico, Totonac and Huastec ones along the Gulf Coast (who now inhabit that area), Mixtec, Zapotec, and Tlapanec ones in Oaxaca and Guerrero, and many others. Back to Western Mexico, in the 1450's, Pátzcuaro is overthrown by the fellow Purepecha city of Tzintzuntzan, who rapidly expands to form the Purepecha/Tarascan empire, who would be the Aztec empire's only real competition and repel numerous invasions from them, preventing their expansion into city-states and kingdoms further West such as Colmia and Jalisco; With the Aztec and Purepecha unable to make each other budge, the Aztec expanded somewhat to the East like conquering Maya towns around Soconusco, as well as trying to besiege Tlaxcala to conquer, a republic ruled via senate in an adjacent valley (alongside Cholula, Huextozinco, and some other cities/towns Tlaxcala was allied with/ruled over) who had been able to escape conquest due to their defensible position (other notable unconquered enclaves being Tututepec, a remant of 8-deer's Mixtec Empire; the Tlapenec kingdom of Yopitzinco, and the Otomi kingdom of Metztitlan) This is the state of things when the Spanish arrive (12:52 in the video). ------------------------ So, yeah, out of the hundreds of things in the video, and all of what I wrote about Mesoamerican history (which, again, is still just a summary!).... it only mentions 7 things. Look at all the stuff they glossed over! Keep in mind this is JUST Mesoamerica too: Down in South America, the Andes has it's own long history of dozens of major civilizations (Norte Chico/Caral, the Chavin, Paracas, Nazca, Moche, Wari, Tiwanku, Sican, Chimu, and Inca), up in what's now the US, you had a variety of town building societies in both the Southwest (the Pueblo, Hohokam, Salado, etc, these actually traded with Mesoamerican civilizations) , and in the East (Poverty Point, Hopewell, Mississippians, etc. The largest Missisispian site, Cahokia, was actually bigger then London in it's heyday), and so much more... and the video only mentioned 2 things from North America, and 2 from South America. If people wanna learn more about all of this, "1491" by Charles Mann is a good starting place! (Also, the video ignores most of Africa too, but Africa isn't my area of expertise)
That's cute and all, but it mentioned about twice as many things about pre-Columbian America as most people know, same for Africa. Here's a thought, maybe African and American history aren't Bill's area of expertise either?
@@korganrocks3995 If you're going to summerize all of world history, I think you sort of have a commitment to do research to summzerize everything even if it's outside your area of expertise: Reach out to specalists of other areas. Again, I don't think he needed to cover everything I said, but I think at minimum he should have referenced different mesoamerican writing systems popping up, Zapotec civilization/Monte Alban's rise and fall, actual political and urban developments in Teotihuacan (such as it's alliances and conquests of Maya states) vs just noting it existed,, likewise noting different key Maya wars and states (cmon the "Star War" joke was right there for the Tikal and Calakmul wars!) to actually mention historical elements of the Toltec with different alleged rulers as mentioned in Aztec accounts other them, again, just a vague reference to the Toltecs existing, mentioning 8 Deer Jaguae Claw's conquests and the formation of his Mixtec Empire, and to cover different wars and rulers the Aztec had (esp vs the Purepecha empire) similar to mentioning key wars/people he does for say England or the Romans.
The thing inventor part is a thought exercise done in a discussion about the limitations that should be placed on AI and also the technological singularity. The first part is what is called the paperclip problem, sometimes stamps are used. The scenario is that a person invents an AI whose sole purpose is to make stamps. Without proper limitations, the AI will eventually use up all of the resources on Earth to make stamps and will even begin processing animals and humans for their carbon in order to make stamps. The TH-cam channel Computerphile has a great video on it that goes into the details. The technological singularity is a point in which an AI would be able to create an AI of its own and reproduce without human involvement.
If you guys enjoyed that, the uploader also did The History of Japan, and its just a great. Really wish they would do more, but I imagine these take a reallllly long time to research and make
11:35 Fun fact: it's believed that the mongols invented ice cream. There were also quite a few women in the mongol hoards, if they could hold their ground they were allowed to fight.
This is THE video you must reacting silent because there is so much info per second so when you open your mouth to say something you already missed part of information =)
Speaking crudely, the crusades led to Italy getting good trade deals which made a few places quite rich, that led to the renaissance and then the printing press making books, which led to the protestant reformation, after which the massive leaps in science and quality of life started to happen. So no, it's not back and white.
Reminds me of a song from The Amazing World of Gumball "🎵When you think you've got a problem When your life is full of doubt Remember in the scheme of things Your life just doesn't count!🎵" 😊🌝🌎🌌
If you like this, you guys would love the Oversimplified series. I highly reccomend it. If you want to start off of a really funny one "The war of the Bucket" is a pretty good video. I personally like the Henry VIII one but I'm a bit biased because my family is distantly related to Anne Boleyn. XD
Oh man glad to have noticed this less than a min after upload, it's friggin' amazing and you guys've reaction to it so far's been great. I am so surprised you all hadn't seen it yet. :o
If you're watching it in your free time, look up some history teacher's reactions to it. They give a more in-depth explanation of events here and there.
This is the single video that got me through sophomore history class lmao I literally only remembered what the Seljuk Turks were because I kept hearing the jingle in my head
finally some fresh reaction to this.. I saw it so many times I already remember the whole audio, lol. Also yeah, I'm from the land Habsburgs conquered. They did it before Alabama took over
I keep saying this, videos in class should be formatted and styled like this, this did more for me in terms of history than school ever did and video left a impact, no other did and I can't even remember what any of them in Elementary up to Senior Year were like or the titles especially the titles.
Well, I doubt most teachers could make anything like this. Plus, while it is entertaining, you also don't have to take a test that proves to the government that you actually learned it at the end. It also skips over a bunch of details that are super important, only really giving an overview of some of history.
South Korean here. Thanks for laughing 18:05 but the war is still "on pause" after about 70 years, and U.S.A. and Soviet Union were really sponsors of the war for it was a proxy war. At least, I'm glad that our fathers chose the right sponsor for us. Just saying. Happy new year, y'all. :)
00:00 YESSS (AND THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE 42min ago YOO) 7:27 man Legalism was a little scary Like disturbing Anyway if the 4 of you plus maybe 1 were to all do a robbery, youd probably all lose a foot. Maybe your noses? And then a face tattoo so everyone knows youre a criminal 4-5 is more severe than two because it would be a hint/implication of organized crime So yeah. You get face tattos. You may get your nose cut off, or lose at least one foot, maybe castrated if youre adulterers 10:46 the little sound 14:29 we acted it out a little in class
11:34 Well, even though the Mongols were ruthless conquerers, they were not as bad as they are often portraied. For example, the Mongols always prefered the Diplomatic attempt, but once you refused their offers, they would fuck you up for good. When it comes the Culture: Gengis Khan was collecting knowledge, ideas and faiths. We had a huge court of wise men, priests and scientist from all the conquered areas, it is probably the first empire that had freedome of religion. But yeah, they conquered and muredered, raped and enslaved, just not in the manner that most people think they did.
The fun part is the video actually loops, "By the way where the hell are we?" is answered by "You're on a rock floating in space."
WOAH
I never even realized that!! That’s so clever, it’s like a loop
Because history repeats itself. Neat.
Bill wurtz was the first to do the loop trend before the tik tokrs figured it out
Pretty cool, huh?

As another Canadian, you are absolutely correct
Funny enough so much stuff happens to canada but since canada isnt doing anything no one talks about, for instance the US accidentally nuking a few people over there doing tests
That's just because Canada mostly minds its own business in the background
I love that you can basically figure out how much knowledge of history they each have based on when and how hard they laugh
Ngl, that's usually the most interesting thing about watching history of the world reactions.

War breaks out, and Tenochtitlan, along with the city-states of Texcoco, and Tlacopan join forces and overthrow them, forming the Aztec triple alliance/empire. Over the next 100 years, they rapidly expand and conquer almost all of Central and Southern Mexico, including Otomi cities/towns in Central Mexico, Totonac and Huastec ones along the Gulf Coast (who now inhabit that area), Mixtec, Zapotec, and Tlapanec ones in Oaxaca and Guerrero, and many others.
Back to Western Mexico, in the 1450's, Pátzcuaro is overthrown by the fellow Purepecha city of Tzintzuntzan, who rapidly expands to form the Purepecha/Tarascan empire, who would be the Aztec empire's only real competition and repel numerous invasions from them, preventing their expansion into city-states and kingdoms further West such as Colmia and Jalisco; With the Aztec and Purepecha unable to make each other budge, the Aztec expanded somewhat to the East like conquering Maya towns around Soconusco, as well as trying to besiege Tlaxcala to conquer, a republic ruled via senate in an adjacent valley (alongside Cholula, Huextozinco, and some other cities/towns Tlaxcala was allied with/ruled over) who had been able to escape conquest due to their defensible position (other notable unconquered enclaves being Tututepec, a remant of 8-deer's Mixtec Empire; the Tlapenec kingdom of Yopitzinco, and the Otomi kingdom of Metztitlan)
This is the state of things when the Spanish arrive (12:52 in the video).

So, yeah, out of the hundreds of things in the video, and all of what I wrote about Mesoamerican history (which, again, is still just a summary!).... it only mentions 7 things. Look at all the stuff they glossed over! Keep in mind this is JUST Mesoamerica too: Down in South America, the Andes has it's own long history of dozens of major civilizations (Norte Chico/Caral, the Chavin, Paracas, Nazca, Moche, Wari, Tiwanku, Sican, Chimu, and Inca), up in what's now the US, you had a variety of town building societies in both the Southwest (the Pueblo, Hohokam, Salado, etc, these actually traded with Mesoamerican civilizations) , and in the East (Poverty Point, Hopewell, Mississippians, etc. The largest Missisispian site, Cahokia, was actually bigger then London in it's heyday), and so much more... and the video only mentioned 2 things from North America, and 2 from South America.
If people wanna learn more about all of this, "1491" by Charles Mann is a good starting place! (Also, the video ignores most of Africa too, but Africa isn't my area of expertise)
i appreciate that! thank you
My comment is still here?
tbh as someone from south america i dont think its as relevant
That's cute and all, but it mentioned about twice as many things about pre-Columbian America as most people know, same for Africa. Here's a thought, maybe African and American history aren't Bill's area of expertise either?
@@korganrocks3995 If you're going to summerize all of world history, I think you sort of have a commitment to do research to summzerize everything even if it's outside your area of expertise: Reach out to specalists of other areas. Again, I don't think he needed to cover everything I said, but I think at minimum he should have referenced different mesoamerican writing systems popping up, Zapotec civilization/Monte Alban's rise and fall, actual political and urban developments in Teotihuacan (such as it's alliances and conquests of Maya states) vs just noting it existed,, likewise noting different key Maya wars and states (cmon the "Star War" joke was right there for the Tikal and Calakmul wars!) to actually mention historical elements of the Toltec with different alleged rulers as mentioned in Aztec accounts other them, again, just a vague reference to the Toltecs existing, mentioning 8 Deer Jaguae Claw's conquests and the formation of his Mixtec Empire, and to cover different wars and rulers the Aztec had (esp vs the Purepecha empire) similar to mentioning key wars/people he does for say England or the Romans.
The thing inventor part is a thought exercise done in a discussion about the limitations that should be placed on AI and also the technological singularity. The first part is what is called the paperclip problem, sometimes stamps are used. The scenario is that a person invents an AI whose sole purpose is to make stamps. Without proper limitations, the AI will eventually use up all of the resources on Earth to make stamps and will even begin processing animals and humans for their carbon in order to make stamps. The TH-cam channel Computerphile has a great video on it that goes into the details.
The technological singularity is a point in which an AI would be able to create an AI of its own and reproduce without human involvement.
"Japan is so addicted to art that the military might have to take over the government" 🤣
So many amazing sound bites cam from this gem of a video.
"I feel like I'm on drugs watching this" yep sounds about right 😂 in a good way
I rewatch this every now and then, it's just so enjoyable and quotable 😅
why am i just now seeing this?? this is a masterpiece! i wish my teachers showed me this growing up
Agreed.
watch the original. Not the copycat one.
If you guys enjoyed that, the uploader also did The History of Japan, and its just a great. Really wish they would do more, but I imagine these take a reallllly long time to research and make
0:31 he just summarised my reaction to this video
crazy how relevant this video still is for reaction content after all this years
relevant for the reactors, not relevant for the creator.
I think 'history of the entire world, i guess' is one of the greatest videos on youtube, Bill Wurtz is a legend.
I feel like we need an updated version of this video with like the modern stuff from Covid and junk
Honestly, Bill Wurst created an amazing video that still stands up!
This came as a surprise to see y’all reacting to but I immediately clicked when I saw it lol.
I freaking love watching people appreciate this video.
anybody just stare at ruff as his mind implodes?
Did he just say "I had way to many marijuanas?"
11:35
Fun fact: it's believed that the mongols invented ice cream.
There were also quite a few women in the mongol hoards, if they could hold their ground they were allowed to fight.
Fun fact: EVERYONE expected the Spanish Inquisition, because they were required to send notice at least 30 days in advance.
The end part was basically lets invent something said the future invention after being invented by another future invention
“You can make a religion out of this. WANT SILK?”
As a history lover, I live for this kind of thing 😂
The intermission after mentioning japan, is so you can go watch the history of japan video!
Woah! I've not had your channel pop up in my recommended for a second, but I see you rebranded. Hope it helps the channel!
We get closer and closer to 2028 and I’m waiting for the invention
Every day I learn just how much these lads haven't seen.
This is a hard video to react to without pausing, bc there is SO MUCH info packed into like EVERY SECOND (except for the white screen at 0:40). 😅
This is THE video you must reacting silent because there is so much info per second so when you open your mouth to say something you already missed part of information =)
Yeah, after the "dark ages of the crusades" it only took a measly 600 years until electricity. It all went so quickly. Real informed opinion there.
I still reference this video at least once a week XD
Speaking crudely, the crusades led to Italy getting good trade deals which made a few places quite rich, that led to the renaissance and then the printing press making books, which led to the protestant reformation, after which the massive leaps in science and quality of life started to happen.
So no, it's not back and white.
3:36 Hahaha, the guy on th top left just became the new Dwayne Johnson 😂
17:41 Damn thought that was Ben Kingsley. Then I looked up apparently Ben did a movie playing Ghandi. They look so much alike.
Reminds me of a song from The Amazing World of Gumball
"🎵When you think you've got a problem
When your life is full of doubt
Remember in the scheme of things
Your life just doesn't count!🎵"
😊🌝🌎🌌
If you like this, you guys would love the Oversimplified series. I highly reccomend it. If you want to start off of a really funny one "The war of the Bucket" is a pretty good video. I personally like the Henry VIII one but I'm a bit biased because my family is distantly related to Anne Boleyn. XD
i'd love to see "How the universe is way bigger than you think"
non of you seeing this before is truly mind-blowing, it still slaps.
8:50 the fall of Rome was inevitable they had a kill streak of 23 emperor in the course of 50 years
The creator has another really popular video with this style where it's the history of Japan he covers.
Oh man glad to have noticed this less than a min after upload, it's friggin' amazing and you guys've reaction to it so far's been great. I am so surprised you all hadn't seen it yet. :o
Dude in the top left smoked weed once and thought he was the coolest shit since sliced bread because of it
If you're watching it in your free time, look up some history teacher's reactions to it. They give a more in-depth explanation of events here and there.
So glad you guys reacted to this!
11:25 is indeed subjective because for his people he was greatest ruler. But for others he is basically grim reaper lol
I’m honestly glad none of them every saw this before, cause I get to watch their reactions lol
1:51 I knew there was a reason I resonated with Boom. And its not because we're both named Sean
The sun is a deadly laser!
those are not drugs. The beginning is quite good description of "when" there was no time "yet".
This is the single video that got me through sophomore history class lmao
I literally only remembered what the Seljuk Turks were because I kept hearing the jingle in my head
I had a literal intermission during the video intermission.
When it came to the intermission part, an ad popped up 9:29 😂
finally some fresh reaction to this.. I saw it so many times I already remember the whole audio, lol.
Also yeah, I'm from the land Habsburgs conquered. They did it before Alabama took over
I keep saying this, videos in class should be formatted and styled like this, this did more for me in terms of history than school ever did and video left a impact, no other did and I can't even remember what any of them in Elementary up to Senior Year were like or the titles especially the titles.
Well, I doubt most teachers could make anything like this. Plus, while it is entertaining, you also don't have to take a test that proves to the government that you actually learned it at the end. It also skips over a bunch of details that are super important, only really giving an overview of some of history.
I am always required to do the "AAAA" after the "It's the Seljuk Turks" jingle
Nobody on any serious drugs wouod be able to do somethings as clever, accurate and entertaining as this!
Ruff being ripped and trying to keep up is basically my final two years of High school lmao. Good shit guys!
My absolute favorite memory of being in school was watching this very video in my high school science class
Its amazing how the internet can teach you the entire history of the world in less than 20 mins, while school takes over a month to feach you
I have so much knowledge now.I can take down the world.I know all of your secrets
South Korean here. Thanks for laughing 18:05 but the war is still "on pause" after about 70 years, and U.S.A. and Soviet Union were really sponsors of the war for it was a proxy war. At least, I'm glad that our fathers chose the right sponsor for us. Just saying. Happy new year, y'all. :)
It’s a bird!
It’s a plane!
It’s the Seljuk Turks 😂😂😂
You'd definitely enjoy The Ocean is Way Deeper Than You Think, if you had fun with this lol
Man, China was just a rollercoaster Xd
00:00 YESSS (AND THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE 42min ago YOO)
7:27 man Legalism was a little scary
Like disturbing
Anyway if the 4 of you plus maybe 1 were to all do a robbery, youd probably all lose a foot. Maybe your noses? And then a face tattoo so everyone knows youre a criminal
4-5 is more severe than two because it would be a hint/implication of organized crime
So yeah. You get face tattos. You may get your nose cut off, or lose at least one foot, maybe castrated if youre adulterers
10:46 the little sound
14:29 we acted it out a little in class
11:34 Well, even though the Mongols were ruthless conquerers, they were not as bad as they are often portraied.
For example, the Mongols always prefered the Diplomatic attempt, but once you refused their offers, they would fuck you up for good.
When it comes the Culture: Gengis Khan was collecting knowledge, ideas and faiths. We had a huge court of wise men, priests and scientist from all the conquered areas, it is probably the first empire that had freedome of religion.
But yeah, they conquered and muredered, raped and enslaved, just not in the manner that most people think they did.
Universe is not exploded it expand super fast like it's just a bang that's why it is called a Big Bang
Sorry bad english
the same guy made another video before this one that's JUST the history of Japan. Also very interesting.
Love this, but now I gotta see them react to the one before this, History of Japan
Guy in the bottom-left looks like that semi-famous guy. Sorry, I'm bad with names.
It took 7 months but I figured it out. Sam Lake.
I was playing civilization when I watched this
i remember more of history because of this video than i do my 12 years of school
Oh your watching this kinda stuff I recommend overly simplified
The Roman Empire never fell, it became a church. Said someone
Is it bad that I remember learning most of this from AP World History? 😂😂
so many old and good memes came from this video
The video ends at 19:45 💀
