    I've seen this shown in classrooms and it's amazing how many kids want to learn more because of it. They ask so many questions that the teacher told them to pick one art of the video and do a research paper about that topic. About 3-5 pages. I was shocked at how many kids found so much joy in learning and then teaching the topic they chose. This is especially good for those wth ADD, ADHD and OCD.
    If you do know a lot about whats spoken about in the video, this becomes very comical. :)

      It's even MORE comical if you do know more about the history of everything. . . considering how much of this so- called "information is just made up by those with leftist agendas ;^) I'd guesstimate that only about 40% may be factual, with the rest all being contrived.

    I love watching reaction channels do this video. It's an overload of information. For the history buffs, it's a direct injection, right into the veins. The best part IMO is that the year is included onscreen, so you can easily pause it on any particular part that catches your curiosity, and you have a point to start researching on your own. I'm fascinated by the French Revolution, through the Napoleonic Wars. That alone is an insanely complex, multi-faceted subject (the revolution made Napoleon, you can't understand him without first understanding the Revolution). So much history that's taught in schools, is very western focussed too, yet places like China are VERY old, with a LOT more to them than most people think.

    Great reaction to one of the best videos on TH-cam, the research and script writing of Bill's video alone is amazing.
    I love how good a job this video does of showing just how many times land has changed hands over the centuries. Maps don't change that often compared to the length of a human life, so we don't think about it day to day, but over the course of thousands of years, the same land has had a dozen or more owners at different times.
    Really puts stuff in perspective

    As someone who's massively into history and geography, this video is STILL the most legendary video I've seen because of two reasons.
    1: How nearly all of earth's history was crammed into this 1 single video.
    2: The amount of memes which came out of this video.
    Btw very good pause at 15:55 because the guy here Mansa Musa the king of Mali was the richest person in history and also from the records, pretty humble as well. The guy was so rich that he literally and accidentally broke Egypt's economy through inflation by giving away so much gold to the needy as he travelling through the region. He later countered it by buying back all that gold (well not all of it but most of it). That's how much a Ultra-Chad he was.

    She asked:
    "So when this group had to take over that group, what was the fight like then?"
    For real historical information You and Asia should check out these TH-cam videos/channels.
    Invicta -
    Their Videos on
    The Siege of Jerusalem
    and
    The Seige of Masada
    Are incredible.
    Kings and Generals - Start with any of their videos. They have a ton of stuff chronologically.
    Their series on the Kahn invasions is a personal favorite.

    I'm the time of Columbus, people had worked out the world was a ball already. They just didn't know there was another land mass. Columbus knew that the far side of India there were a lot of islands, and a larger island called Japan, so when he found the Caribbean and Cuba, he assumed they they were the islands the other side of India and Japan.

    When you said the Spanish probably said "I'm going back to the boat"? One of the things that doesn't get mentioned here is that, when Hernando Cortez reached the "New World", he burned all his ships so that his men couldn't simply go back to Spain. They were *committed* to conquering at that point.

    16:45 That is Mansa Musa, speculated to be the richest person to ever live. He was the king of Mali.
    He was so rich and good hearted that he gave away his money to the needy, which apparently broke the economies of the countries he visited, because he was giving out so much gold.
    Once he saw what he was doing, he stopped giving out gold and started building universities (colleges). It is said that the university in Mali had the largest collection of books (scrolls) in the world. Also one of the Universities that he built is actually still standing till this day.

    17:45 - Part of the reason Columbus had to ask Spain so many times to fund his expedition was that we'd known the circumference of the Earth for over two thousand years by 1492, and Columbus's estimate was only a third that. The king knew that he'd just get everyone killed in the middle of potentially nothing but water, and it was the queen that financed him in the end, out of her personal fortune. Personally I suspect that the king didn't try to stop her, if only to get Christopher to _just shut up and go away._

    I have loved this history of the world, I guess video since I first saw it quite a while ago. American education (up through high school) was very America-centric and Euro-centirc. Most of the history that took place farther east than Rome was barely touched on, at least when I was in school. Of course, I am an older fellow, so I am curious what any of the younger viewers think. Did you get much history about Africa, the middle east or Asia (aside from what they taught about Japan in WWII)? Truly I am interested in finding out what has changed in America's curriculum since I graduated high school back in 1980.

    I find German history incredibly fascinating because the Germans and Germany were always there, but at the same time not and always different like a shapeshifter.
    Summarized -
    Rejects Roman annexation - Teutons defeat Rome, are often slapped in the face, but Rome generally fails to subdue them
    Create an empire that wasn't really an empire but somehow lived for 1000 years - Very special and unique
    The Kingdom of Prussia gangsta before being defeated by one of history's greatest generals.
    defeats the French, unite into a new Empire
    Get a colonial empire
    Fights the whole world two times
    Gets divided again
    Reunites again and is not allowed to be strong again.
    A few German inventions:
    - Incandescent lamps (Heinrich Göbel 1854)
    - The Telephone (Johann Philip Reis 1859)
    - Dynamo and tram (Werner von Siemens 1866)
    - The 35mm camera (Oskar Barnack 1925)
    - Nuclear fission and atomic bomb (Otto Hahn - while Nazi Germany emigrated to the Americans of course. Are they lucky the Germans exist - 1938)
    - The ship chart (Jürgen Dethloff and Helmut Gröttrub 1969)
    - Periodic Table (Julius Luther Meyer 1864)
    - Jeans (Levi Strauss 1873)
    - The recorder, player - with which the first films were possible (Emil Berliner 1887)
    - Aspirin - which all great athletes used to feel used to relieve pain and which saved countless lives (Felix Hoffmann 1879)
    - Spark plug (Robert Bosch 1902)
    - Thermos flask (Reinhold Burger 1903)
    - the toothpaste (Ottomar Heinsius von Mayenburg)
    - The coffee filter (Melitta Bentz)
    - Cassette recorder (Fritz Pfleumer 1928)
    - Teabag (Adolf Rambold 1929)
    - The jet engines - Indispensable for all jets and rockets + First war rockets V1, V2 of the Nazis (Hans von Ohain 1929)
    - The Helicopter (Heinrich Focke 1936)
    - The first car (Carl Benz - With honorary mustache - 1886)
    - Computers (Konrad Zuse 1941)
    - Fanta (During the Nazi era - and yes, this Fanta)
    - First 3D film (also during the Nazi era)
    - NASA (due to thousands of German engineers and thinkers that the Americans needed)

    Just to put in perspective:
    If Earth was the size of a small seed (like a watermelon seed), Milky Way diameter would be the size of the disc formed by Earth´s orbit around the Sun.
    If Earth was the size of a Red Blood Cell, Milky Way would have a diameter 4x larger than the actual Earth.
    Milky Way is just a tiny dot in the universe... there are 2 trillion dots like Milky Way.
    Milky Way relative to the Universe is like a bus compared to Earth size.

    Life is like a ball that slowly starts moving down a hill. Very slow at the start, few hiccups as in several exinction events (Universe says "Hello, you thought this be easy?"), then just quickly gets faster and faster until we got to where we are now.
    And the thing is, will humans be about in 500,000 years or will we have evolved to something else or a completely new society rose up from whatever disaster.
    Universe is like that, nothing stays the same forever. Always changing, constantly.

    16:40 Mike Duncan's Revolutions Podcast about the english civil war goes into quite some detail about european warfare in the times when gunpoweder weapons were still a new thing and a lot of the fighting was still done by melee weapons. and Real Crusades History has an amazing 5 hour documentary on the first three crusades.
    for something shorter, Voices from the Past has two 20 minute videos about first hand perpectives of the crusades, one from a participant of the first crusade and one from a muslim eyewitness of the third.
    if you're interested in what war and geopolitics was like in those times i absolutely recommend all of those.

    Hah. I can answer the France and Not France. When Francia (the Kingdom of the Franks) broke up, it became three pieces. East Francia, Lotharingia, and West Francia. East Francia became Germany (not France) and West Francia became France. Lotharingia was divided up between the two and is why Germany and France kept fighting over the land up until really WW2.

    I love this video, and I actually have the privilege of knowing that my mom's family came from Western Europe and my dad's family came from Mexico, likely the Aztecs who were genocided by the Spanish conquistadors. And I know that a lot people in my country don't get to know from where in Africa their ancestors came here from against their will. That's some of the reasons it's vital that we say Black Lives Matter.

    just to make sure, swords, spears, axes, horse-riding, arrows, and armor have been a thing for a few thousand years, funnily enough when she questions how did people fight, they paused the same century gunpowder revolutionized European conflicts, eventually evolving into hand guns in early 1500s
    then of course you have the crazy advancements of the 19th century with the industrial revolution, culminating in World War I with grenades, airplanes, tanks, and such, eventually throughout WW2 and the Cold War culminating once again in modern militaries with missiles, jets, drones, nukes, and of course Toyotas

    "Turkey makes a brand new Turkey!"
    It refers to Ataturk's reforms which changed Turkey from an Islamic monarchy to a Westernized nation. Ataturk removed a lot of the Islamic based laws, allowed women to be educated, and reformed the Turkish alphabet to one based on the Latin script. He basically rebuilt the country from the ground up.

    We went from fighting with rocks and sticks to sticks with sharp rocks at the end to bows and arrows, to bronze spears, axes and swords, catapults, ballistae and other artillery weapons, to iron and steel weapons to gundpowder weapons all the way to what we have now. It's silly to think about it nowadays, but cavalry with swords existed at the same time as machine guns, World War 1 was WIIIIILD in terms of the rapid advancement of weapons and tactics.

    The thing about the first Spaniards who came to the Americas that you have to understand is that they were tremendously arrogant. Spain was a very powerful country in Europe at the time, and to be an envoy from Spanish royalty basically allowed you to do whatever you wanted on new land, since you were claiming it for your country. This was especially true if the land was populated by 'uncivilised' people (anyone without Western cultural ideals) - they could just directly oppress that population and use them as work-force.
    So basically, Columbus and his crew landed, met the natives, realised very quickly they weren't in India, noticed their weapons were vastly superior to the natives', and essentially decided they owned the place now. They cooperated with the native Americans until they were fully established, and then the conflicts began basically immediately afterwards.

  • @heatherlynnfairfield

    As far as weapons go … the ancients had some sick sh*t. The Greeks had invented a type of flamethrower and pretty much every siege engine you’ve seen in a LOTR movie more or less existed in some form or other back in the day.
    As an aside … it’s *always* about resources and land.
    ALWAYS.

  • @toxxedgaming3885
    @toxxedgaming3885 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One of the really cool things to think about from ancient times vs today that you were alluding to. There's no true "empires" now. Due to how information is spread and the world has a conscience of what is happening in other countries (UKRAINE) a country really can't go in and *take over* another country. Before internet and especially when the world seemed new and fresh to its inhabitants if they travelled outside their borders, you could "discover" a new people and take it over. The empires (also, countries are a fairly recent innovation, for a lot of this history it was more empires than countries) bordering each other might know, but if a portion of China took over a portion of Burma, there's no way anyone in Europe would know in their lifetime. That has changed since the invention of the telegraph, and obviously made stronger since the spread of Internet etc. Information travels rapidly, takeovers of area happens slowly, which is the opposite of most of recorded history, which is a very cool paradox.

    This is precisely why i dont like when people despise Christopher columbus. He may have led to the deaths of alot of people. But to venture out into an endless ocean for such a long time not knowing if you'll find anything or even have the provisions to last you on your journey. And then to finally get there, trade with the native and make it back is just astounding to me. The courage you must have to do something like that is almost beyond my comprehension.

    We're just as savage as our ancestors, we just have better toys. When resources truly become scarce you'll quickly realize that we're not better than them; We're just more comfortable, which allows us to put MOST of our more violent tendencies on the back burner. However, other than our toys we haven't really changed all that much from them.

    whats great was that money was actual natural resources and that determines the wealth of a nation. Whether it be gold, silver, bronze, iron, spices, silk, tea, steel, water, fertile soil...its these natural resources that make nations wealthy and why nations conquered other nations. The US dollar today is not real money. It's paper not backed by anything and one day it will collapse. Please watch "The cahgning world order" by Ray Dalio. He has a version similar to this video you guys are reacting to,.

    Columbus thought he could sail to India from Portugal by going west. Back then, nobody knew north and south america existed. When he landed in the Caribbean, he thought he was in India. This is why even to this day, native americans are incorrectly referred to as Indians sometimes.

    Tribalism always collapses. Empires were built by bringing differing people together, and in most cases, the conqueror was the glue. As soon as they were gone, the empires fell apart.
    Imperialism has always been the most successful at bringing people together.
    Tribalism has always been the most successful at ensuring a way of life.
    No structure has been long successful at ensuring Freedom.
    The USA still jokingly calls itself the land of the free, although by definition they are the least free people in the world, living in the most litigious society on Earth, imprisoning more of it's own people than any other nation on the planet.
    Slavery was never abolished as a whole, though parts of it were outlawed. On the whole; It was merely broadened. It takes only one event to rip away the thin veil and reveal to a populace that their generation is enslaved, and always has been.

    The tin thing is kind of big though. Copper was used before and copper is found all over the place but bronze requires copper and tin. The thing is there are no known deposits of tin now or in ancient times withing many thousands of miles from the earliest known civilizations. Bronze was such a big deal it revolutionized every aspect of human civilization and we know nothing about where they got one of the essential ingredients for it even though it was in wide us throughout what was then the known world.

    btw, most people understand old maps as nations/countries. but nationalism hasn't been around that long, circa 1800. people identified as tribes, villlage, cities or as a regional people. once a persian, greek or roman king conquered it, they were still that tribal people, but ruled by other more powerful armies. so greek cities still identified as thebans, athenians and spartans, even under roman rule. over time, these ruling kingdoms fell to more powerful armies or the allegiances just fell apart. nations are a relative new idea. for the most of humanity's time on the planet, it lived in small tribal communities.
