  1. No, they didn't want to be the victim of it, but they didn't want to destroy it. Also the oversimplifications in this video paints Japan as the bad guy in many lights when it can be better seen as a somewhat neutral force. Japan annexed Korea because of growing Russian influences and the Korean King/Emperor actively welcoming Russia, while Japan saw Russia as a threat (Japan only defeated the Russians because their main fleet was located on the other side of Eurasia and wasn't even at Madagascar when Japan only narrowly defeated the Russians), the Japanese annexation of Taiwan was somewhat meant to be a model of how China could look under Japanese rule, by annexing one Chinese province and developing it like Japan.

  2. ¿Why was Xi Jinping sitting next to Blue? ¿Or was þat someone else?

  3. It's funny because Koreans saw Japanese colonialism as oppressive, while Taiwanese people see it as "the good ol' days", it's odd how the perspectives differ so radically.

  5. Something that would later repeat during the Chinese Communist ☭ Party's cultural revolution. 😢

  6. Ouranos (Uranus) was not a Titan (2nd generation God), he was their father and belonged to the Primordial Gods (1st generation of Gods).

  7. Nah, their psyches died there.

  8. Crypto-Jews and Crypto-Muslims were very common in Spain long after the expulsion, in fact a lot of Islamic culture survives in Spain to this day.

  13. I always pity the Polish people, they got partitioned way worse than the Ottomans did, and after Poland regained independence after the Great War they attempted to revive the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and got their arses handed to them by the Ukrainians and later Soviets.

  14. 09:23 The Lordship of Groningen was already separated from the Frisians at that time.

  15. 06:25 "Chinese culture", it's a Manchu-Chinese mix, it's like saying þat þe Holy Roman Empire of þe German Nation preserved Roman culture...

  17. Also this video completely misses out on non-Abrahamic religions, Abrahamists can find common ground because they essentially believe in the same thing, it's more of an "uncanny valley" to look at slightly different denominations but they could never philosophise like this with Hindu's, Buddhists, Confucianists, or even Zoroastrians.

  18. 01:00 We should call these "Pet the dog" moments.

  19. After W.W. I no one would ever want war again, these men sacrificed a lot, but at least they lived in a world of peace, no German youth would ever have to suffer these atrocities again... Oh wait...

  21. 01:42 ¿Finished watching Avatar? ¿Doesn't include the Legend of Korra? That's halfstory, not History.

  23. You completely missed out Futurama which is all over þe robot spectrum.

  24. They do that so the kid characters can still stay kids mentally, despite being parents or even grand-parents (like Goku).

  25. 02:35 Flanders was technically a part of France, though some small parts of it were also a part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, but most ởf it was French, though.

  26. But they are evil minions, it is literally in their name.

  27. 01:30 *Primordial Gods, the Titans are very specifically the second generation of Gods. Also the Olympian Gods weren't just "the Gods", just the third generation.

  28. 16:43 The founding of that city was a good conclusion, the 100 year war ended without the Fire Nation losing any major battles, just their leaders and basically their entire military apparatus and colonial system were still in place. Fire Nation colonists at this had lived in the colonies for generations and the Earth Kingdom still viewed it as occupied territory, the founding of the Republic was a way to avert the war. The Legend of Korra literally ends with the Earth Empire attacking the republic to regain their lost provinces from over a century and a half ago, as the Earth Kingdom still had a lot of trouble renouncing its territorial claims.

  30. 02:20 Gross oversimplification of Mongol rule, þey used native administrators and kept þe Chinese meþod of governance. Þe Mongols didn't immediately use a fiat currency but because þe Khan wasted a lot of money on lavish gifts for þe nobility, þe state didn't have þe finances to keep gold and silver reserves (also þe Mongols weren't þe first to use a fiat currency, þe Jurchens (Jin) and Chinese (Souþern Song, not Lower Song) were forced to abandon reserves due to high military expenditures during þe Mongol invasions). Þirdly þe Mongols ruled over most of Eurasia for centuries, þey weren't inefficient rulers, þey just succumbed to family drama a lot (like literally every oþer place on earþ).

  31. Reducing the other Kingdoms of the Iberian peninsula to "would be Spain" is severely dishonest, Portugal was no different from the other Spanish Kingdoms other than the fact that it had a different monarch, the Crowns of Arágon and Castile remained separate until the Bourbons took over and "Spain" wasn't even a country until the Bourbons. Castile, Aragon, Navarre, Franch-Comté, and the Netherlands were all separate Spanish domains like the Kingdom of Portugal and the Algarves was. If Catalonia would become an independent country today we'll see people like y'all completely re-writing Spanish history to play the Crown of Arágon as something separate of Castile (as it should be) while still downplaying the different legal and financial systems of the other Spanish crowns. The only reason why we treat Portuguese history different today is because it's an independent country today, if it became Spanish today people would re-write history to switch the narrative too, downplaying some points while exaggerating others for the sake of modern "national identities".

  32. Colonialism isn't a form of narcissism, many colonisers genuinely believed þat þey were spreading modern civilisation and medicine to less advanced peoples, and in case of missionaries, let's not forget þat Christians believe þat unbelievers will be tortured forever after þey die, as far as þey were concerned þey were saving people from endless suffering. Þe anti-colonialism narrative makes little sense, when þe Romans spread better technology to western Europe and eliminated many native faiþs people call it "a glorious empire" while when later European countries expanded outside Europe a way less genocidal version of þis behaviour is seen as "cruel". Þe French were invited to Souþ East Asia by þe Cambodians who feared losing þeir country to boþ þe Vietnamese and þe Siamese. Þey actively chose European colonisation over þe more genocidal Vietnamese colonisation, ¿How many Chams or Khmer or even Chinese live in modern Souþerm Vietnam?

  33. ¿How aren't Mexicans White? Or better yet, ¿How aren't Mexicans white while Italians are? They're literally the same Mediterranean people.

  34. 02:24, that map shows 3 different countries, the Jurchen Jin Dynasty, the Tangut Western Xia Dynasty, and the Chinese Song Dynasty, only the latter of which was ruled by the Han-Chinese, and it was the Song who helped the Mongols defeat the Jurchens but then stabbed the Mongols in the back (also the reason why the Jurchens hated the Song because they keep stabbing people in the back).

  43. 00:22 Uses the British & (Northern-)Irish flag (the Union Jack) which includes the flag of Scotland to represent England, so it's "stop hitting yourself Scotland, stop hitting yourself."

  44. The European powers fought wars they lost before, the U.K. Lost during the First Zulu ans First Boer wars, Russia lost during the Russo-Japanese War, and France lost from both Qing-China and Korea. Spain a neutral country was just out of a bloody and long war with the United States of America while fighting the Cuban, Tagalog, and Puertoriqueño Wars (which it all lost). The colonial powers had lost several wars during the 19th and 20th centuries.

  46. The Deadpool in the first few scenes of X-Men Origins: Wolverine was quite accurate, only "the murk without a mouth" was an abomination... And the rest of the film...
