Youtube comments of (@HistoryScope).

  1. I made 2 videos about Africa and that video gets A LOT of racist comments from people who think that Africa had nothing going on in this period, except people living in tents or caves. It's very nice to see a video which covers topics like this; one of the least taught periods of one of the least taught continents.

  2. I am receiving A LOT of racist and uninformed comments on this video every day and I want to adress them here. 1. Sub-saharan Africa didn't develop any written language This is simply incorrect. A prominent example of the Ge'ez script. But there are several others. 2. They couldn't even invent the wheel (in sub-Sahara Africa) Anyone who says this doesn't know how wheels work. They did have the wheel, but it was of no use to them. In order to use wheels for transport you need a lubricant. In Europe, Asia, and North Africa they had the wild boar (and later the domesticated pig). These were animals with a lot of fat which could be used to lubricate those wheels. But they are not native to Sub-Saharan Africa. Without sufficient and cheap fat wheels were useless. It's why places that didn't have easy access to fat didn't use wheels. Even with our modern technology we still need to use lubricants... If anyone thinks a pre-industrial civilization could fix this issue, which we still can't fix today, needs to lower their expectations. On top of that, Africa has a lot of rivers and African river ships were so incredibly advanced that when Europeans tried to invade Africa in the 16th-18th centuries that they were easily defeated by the local Africans. 3. Africa didn't have any countries/empires Even a short google search easily disproves this. Here are just 20 of them: Mali Empire, Ghana Empire, Songhai Empire, Kanem-Bornu Empire, Sokoto Caliphate, Jolof Empire, Oyo Empire, Benin Empire, Kaabu Empire, Aro Confederacy, Ashanti Empire, Kong Empire, Bamana Empire, Wassoulou Empire, Kongo Kingdom, Luba Empire, Lunda Empire, Zulu Kingdom, Maravi Empire, Rozvi Empire.

  4. The more I look at the self-destructive course Putin has chosen the more I am reminded of one of my favourite quotes from Babylon 5: "arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you."

  5. Good point. Heart reacted it

  6. This video has more complicated animations than any of my previous videos. I spent A LOT of effort to make this video the best video I have made so far: better animations, music, and more attention on my own voice. But this has also been the most time-consuming video I've ever made. So hopefully this video is the beginning of a new History Scope 'era' and I can keep this up this quality in the future. I hope you guys like this video and if you have any feedback then please let me know by replying to this comment. I do actually read all of them thanks to the YouTube Creator app.

  9. Thank you for the 5 people who liked my video within 10 seconds of me uploading. I don't know who you are, but I love you!

  10. This is a video explaining very early Islamic history. It is meant purely for educational purposes, not preachy. So please keep the comment section civil or I will bring out the Banhammer (no personal insults, no discrimination, etc.). Frequent Comments Answered 1. The reason for this older art style is that I made this series of videos back in 2017. They are unlisted because I use this channel as a portfolio and due to the taboo nature of the subject decided to unlist them for a while. But that's no longer necessary so here they are again! 2. Did you become a Muslim? - No. the point of this video is to explain the worldview of a mythology which isn't covered a lot. It's meant for people who, as with all my other videos, don't know a lot about the subject and want to learn more. 3. You're not allowed to draw this - Yes I am. Free speech is protected by law in my country, Ireland (where google is registered for EU citizens), and the USA (where this platform is located). 4. You shouldn't draw Muhammad because it's offensive to some people - Well, then don't watch the video if you find it offensive. This video is educational for a non-Muslim audience. You cannot expect people to conform to your own religious beliefs, just as I won't demand you to conform to mine. 5. Any form of (death) threat - please email them to me directly. Add the subject line "death threat" so I can delete it immediately. ...please stop acting so childish... Most of us haven't made silly death threats since we were angsty teenagers. 6. Parts are inaccurate - There are various denominations of Islam, so I chose the middle ground on which most sources agree, favouring actual historical sources over mythological ones. So if you learned or heard something else then it might be because that particular denomination believes differently.

  11. Having done a lot of research into how Africa got where it is today, it's VERY interesting to see where these trends are likely to go in the future. Very good video once again!

  12. 9:03 As someone who's autistic, I really appreciate that you put "how are you" in there. To this day, I can't figure out if someone form the USA is genuinely asking me how I am doing, whether it's a greeting, or how you're even supposed to respond to it. While talking to people from Europe I always know that that person is genuinely asking me how I am doing. It's a small thing to point out, but it's always so confusing to me to speak to people from the USA for little differences like that.

  13.  @moiseman  no. I said "sufficient and cheap fat". pigs will eat anything, even feces. pigs were an incredibly cheap source of fat. oxes take 3-4 years to mature while a pig only needs 5-6 month, an ox needs more food to survive, etc. It's not that they had no fat, it's that they didn't have it as cheaply and on large enough scale like in Eurasia.

  14. Uhhh.. I don't know how I messed that up :D
    794
  15. As some people have pointed out: the borders of Finland are incorrect. That's my fault. I made a map of Europe after WW1 and all maps are based upon that one... and somehow I never noticed that Finland's borders change.
    792
  16. As a small bit of trivia: They also considered Luxembourg City because it's relatively small and so wouldn't be a statement of power. The Soviets wanted Berlin to be the place where they'd be held. In the end they decided to do the trials in Nuremberg but the official home of the tribunal authorities would be in Berlin.
    775
  17. Yes, I messed that up.
    739
  18. This video has more jokes than any other of my videos so far. Please let me know if you liked it or whether you think it detracts from the video as a whole? Feedback, as always, is highly appreciated!
    641
  19. Actually no. Lots of Muslims have already sent waves of insults and threats. YouTube or myself simply remove those comments so you guys don't have too see them.
    575
  20. Thank you for all the hard work over the last week. These videos have been an incredible source of information.
    524
  21. By the way, this video made it through the manual review process of YouTube and is actually monitized. I'm probably as surprised about that as you are. So good job YouTube for realising the educational intent of this video!
    523
  22. I'm also pinning your comment because it gives the most accurate critique of this video, I think.
    522
  23. 3 NOS op 3 video's in 1 week. Nice.
    506
  24. I always like seeing your comments. Also nice profile picture.
    494
  25. Yes, you're right. My spelling is quite atrocious. I have pinned your comment so people can see the mistakes I made. You're the first one to point them all out so I've pinned your post instead of others' who pointed out only one or two of the spelling errors. I have since resolved this issue for future videos by no longer drawing the letters but instead copy/pasting it from a spellchecker directly :)

  26. Hungarization and Germanization was part of the script at first, but I had to cut because I would have to explain what it was, why it was important, etc. and then relate it to the A-H Empire. This was about 2 pages and broke the flow of the script completely. I had multiple paragraphs explaining how destroying local cultures and integrating them into the ruling culture had caused stability in other countries such as France and China. And yes, reading the comments now I realize I should have made it clear that there was a significant difference between the Hungarian regions and the Austrian regions.
    483
  27. Most of these guys got a shorter sentence than many pettty criminals get... Everything about this trial was very odd
    454
  28.  @ayasugihada  Africa did develop quite rapidly after slavery was banned, but those few decades weren't enough to catch up with Europe. I even state this in the video.
    443
  29. ;)
    369
  30. I would pin this comment if I hadn't already done so with another joke/meme. 2nd best comment by far!
    357
  31. Ik vind dat deze man wel erg goed uitlegt: het is een erg complexe corruptie model wat ze gebruikten maar aan het einde snap je wel wat er gebeurt is.
    355
  32. Get out! :D
    341
  33. Finding data on the rest of the world was actually quite hard in the beginning. The Euro-centric and America-centric sources were plentifull and well-analysed while the rest of the world was just kinda forgotten... In fact, for many years people assumed that Asia and Africa were fine because the governments still had enough money (which was used as an indicator of the economy at the time)... while completely ignoring the average people. This was really sad so I wanted to do better than that. Hope you enjoyed listening to the issues of Asia/Africa/Latin America
    339
  34. I was talking with a Finnish person about this subject last night... And here comes CaspianReport to the rescue with more info than both of us combined. This channel is a true treasure.

  35. Wait, haven't you uploaded this before? Yes. This is all the Tulipmania videos in one.
    296
  36.  @thomasxl3975  socialism is basically wellfare on steroids. the current welfare state was, in large part, inspired by socialism. welfare is one of those things in socialism that has significant economic benefits (see nordic countries for results). Social democracy only takes those things from socialism that work, such as welfare. While realising that a free market with competition is the only way (we know of at least) with which you can pay for said welfare.

  37. He did a bit more than just signing a treaty. He didn't try to stop any of the atrocities while having the power to do so.
    289
  38. Please don't lose sleep over my videos. Your health is more important. My video will still be there the next day :)
    284
  39. I had to cut this from the video, but I had a paragraph about this. In the 1990s rich countries mostly provided aid by sending food or building water wells. Japan went in a different direction: they chose to send aid in the form of infrastructure projects. This way Japanese businesses could export their products and the donor country would be able to build up a sustainable economy where people don't need food aid to begin with. This strategy worked so well that now most countries prefer investing in infrastructure. That bridge and sewage systems are going to help build up the economy, reduce cost from disease, and provide Japan with a friendly nation to cooperate with in the future. Once again: Japan leads the way and the rest of the developed countries follow.

  40. Ik werd wakker, keek op mijn telefoon en dit is het eerste wat ik zag. Bedankt, NOS op 3, ik wilde vandaag toch al niet gelukkig zijn! :D
    280
  41. You're right, I'm sorry I got that wrong
    279
  42. The audio engineer couldn't find good high quality recordings of many of the songs in this video. So they remade 13 of them and we uploaded them on our third channel, Music Scope, so you can listen to them yourselves as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkH3AD8-uCAJYW7Q9I0ZJig
    277
  43. We're already working on the next one: the first unification of China. CHINA. WILL. BE. UNITED!
    275
  44. I will keep using that quote every time it's relevant... which is probably going to be a lot.
    273
  45. 73.1% of viewers are Dutch
    271
  46. Senpai noticed me! But in all seriousness: You're welcome! That book helped me a lot in making this video and was the moment I decided 'I am going to make an autism video as soon as I can'. I also used the doll example from your book (although oversimplified it for the sake of time) and I really enjoyed animating the K3 coming on stage :D If someone else is reading this: the book is in the description. buy it. it's awesome!
    269
  47. I don't think I did enough to show this in the video. Looking back at it, I did mention that Japan was highly aware of the outside world but I never mentioned how they understood the outside world (afterall, if you don't understand engineering how are you ever going to understand a steam engine). I should have added 1 or 2 lines about education, you're right.
    264
  48. I recently changed the title to see if I could improve it... I will take your suggestion under advisement :)

  49. Sadly, her daughter died before she did :(
    259
  50. Sorry for the re-upload. The previous version was only available in 360p because of a mistake with Adobe Premiere and I didn't check the video quality. So here is the same video but in HD quality... sorry about that.
    256
  51. Keep in mind that at that many of these people's parents were samurai or their family was samurai or nobility. The concept of suicide was seen as more honourable than getting executed. While to non-Japanese ritual suicide is probably a very odd concept, to them it was the natural end of a defeated military leader.
    252
  52. I hope I didn't make it seem like I was criticising the USA in any way in this video. I personally have some very strong feelings about what happened during WW2: my grandfather was in a camp in Germany, I got to read some not-so-nice things while researching the Tokyo Trial and Nuremberg Trial videos, but also finding out that Japan inadvertently helped to free a lot of the European colonies in East Asia. But I really tried not to put any personal feelings in this video, either towards the USA or Japan. I just wanted to explain the rationale for why they made the choices they made. Personally, I hate watching YouTubers try to give me their opinions. I think people are smart enough to come up with their own opinions once presented the facts. So I hope I did a good job at that.
    248
  53. About 20-25% of this video was about Indonesia so I had to cut that short for a 40-minute video. 1. good point 2. good point but mentioning all of that would have just been confusing. And bringing in India while it's not part of this video was already difficult enough as it is, without detracting from the rest. If India had been part of this video I would have put that in the script, but we already refered to India far too often in this video, imo. And for British soldiers I should have used "British Commonwealth" soldiers. But again, Indonesia's part was already too long and I wanted to focus on the decolonisation itself, rather than the involvement of various other countries. 3. good points but also didn't have time for that. Cutting anything else wasn't an option. 4. History Scope doesn't focus on wars or battles. they are overrepresented in history classes. So we just talk about the effects it had on the larger topic of decolonisation. 5. It was mentioned under general crimes against humanity. Going into further detail would make this video advertiser-unfriendly. If I made a video covering only Indonesia or we'd have unlimited time/money to make them, we would have put all this in.
    242
  54. First
    242
  55. It's intentional, because right after I talk about how many people group African together, linking back to that sentence.
    238
  56. Thank you. I couldn't find a good way to put that anywhere in the video without breaking the flow.
    234
  57. @Joe Kerry The point is about easily available and cheap lubricant, not necessarily fat. the pig is insanely cheap for that purpose. the domesticated pig is not native to that part of the world.
    226
  58. But this still leaves the main question unanswered. Because Ireland and Italy became less religious as they became wealthier. The USA did not. So apparently, there is something about being in the USA that made people keep their religion.
    213
  59. Guys. Adblock. Then it's free from both perspectives.
    201
  60. Indeed... Because 2 black lines for eyes and 1 line for a mouth is indeed WAYYY too much detail on his face. Ffs, go to a psychiatrist if you get triggered by a drawing.

  61. The music starts when I talk about Austria Hungary. I couldn't find fitting royal free Yugoslav music
    198
  62. The idea of building stuff in space could probably work even with today's technology... but maybe start with building something small and have your space station as the stretch goal you want to reach in a few decades. Maybe start with building a satellite, telescope, or some remote-controlled laboratory first.
    197
  63. I HATE April 1st videos because they range from slightly funny to very annoying, in my opinion. This is my version of an April 1st video. I hope you guys like it! That great moment when your props are both drinkable and tax deductible. Ps, I had originally planned to have accurate cups, flagons, etc for this video... But the quarantine made it impossible for me to buy them in time. So I had to do with what I had.
    196
  64. A person of culture. Nice. We were wondering if people were going to notice this or not :D
    187
  65.  @TheSwiftie467  It wasn't just that easy. There was a medical and psychological analysis of him, both of which concluded that he was indeed suffering from a mental illness. But again: whether he faked it, or was sick but was still smart enough to realise he could use that to his advantage, remains unknown.
    181
  66.  Stratos I  The Walls of Benin were far more advanced than "primitive by all measures"

  67. Thank you for saying "from the Netherlands" and not "from Holland"

  69.  Ashvin Vaidyanathan  I don't think you have enough stamina for that task
    173
  70. Maybe
    173
  71. So someone pointed out that at 2:21 I say "this is absolutely fantastic", right after talking about the invasion of Ukraine. Just to be clear: I think it's fantastic that History Scope has this many subscribers, not that invading other countries is fantastic.
    171
  72. I'm sure the police wouldn't be so nice if you had a bit more pigment in your skin, though
    170
  73. KEEP THE COMMENT SECTION CIVIL. NO PERSONAL INSULTS ALLOWED. I WILL BAN MEAN PEOPLE FROM THE COMMENT SECTION. We are all mature enough to talk about this subject without resorting to name calling. I understand that this topic brings up quite a lot of emotions in people. But that's no reason to personally insult people. You can say someone's argument is stupid, but not that the person themselves is.
    169
  74. I saw that at the end of production too but decided it wasn't worth the effort. I didn't think someone would notice so quickly
    167
  75. Perhaps.
    163
  76. That's an interesting point you bring up, actually. I did some research and the reason the Netherlands wasn't invited to the Berlin conference (while countries such as Austria-Hungary were) was because "The Netherlands were, as far as the colonies were concerned, a 'saturated' power where - at least before 1900 - the will to operate in an imperialist way was missing." source: https://www.jstor.org/stable/181300?seq=1
    159
  77. Finding a job wasn't easy for me. YouTube was my plan C
    157
  78. Your 'Geert Wilders' pronunciations was REALLY good. That's better than any other pronunciations from a non-Dutch person I've ever heard.
    157
  79. FINALLY! Somebody finally noticed! I don't know who you are but you are now my favourite viewer!
    153
  80. Here's you glass of water
    150
  81. Already working on it. Probably going to be the first video that's also translated into Dutch.
    147
  82. There were several other trials, but they had different names. In total hundreds of thousands of people were put on trial ranging from the top all the way to the bottom.
    144
  83. True... hence why the part about agriculture concluded with me saying that it's a way to diversify your economy. It's also why I said to focus on a few things, instead of one thing. so this isn't "one problem", this is already addressed in the video multiple times.
    139
  84. I'm pinning this because I am an idiot.
    135
  85. Damn, I wish I had as much confidence in myself as that guy at the end...
    128
  86. Of course I do!
    127
  87. you're correct. This video was already getting pretty long so I cut all the material about what happened to previously German territories :(
    120
  88. I specifically state that in the video. So yeah, somebody already said that :D
    118
  89. It's going on the list of future topics
    115
  90. A lot of people have been getting aggressive in this thread. If you can't behave, your comment will be removed and any future comments on my channel will automatically be hidden. Please. Everyone. Behave.
    115
  91. You know you've made it on YouTube when Avery the Cuban leaves a comment on your videos.
    112
  92. I am holding all new comments for review for a while. I will approve genuine comments once a day, regardless of whether I agree with your comment or not. The invasion of Ukraine also meant an invasion of Russian bots spreading disinformation. We here at History Scope try our best to stick to facts as best we can. Bots spamming propaganda go very much against this goal. I will turn the comments back to normal again once the amount of bots is back to 'normal' also.
    109
  93. I like that they are finally *telling* us these are ads... Instead of just pretending the ads are 'news articles' like they did a few months ago.
    108
  94. When I researched this video, it was really sad to find out that the models simply never allowed for a lot of autistic women to get diagnosed. At least now diagnoses in women are finally happening!
    107
  95. I'm pinning this comment. Sorry for confusing the 2 names while recording.
    107
  96. You know you've made it on YouTube when Avery comments on your videos
    106
  97. I'm high
    106
  98. I got an email from the Indian government telling me they were going to block some of my videos which showed the internationally recognized borders. But at the same time I will make the Chinese and Pakistanis angry if I give land to India. So in order to make everybody happy: we're just censoring that part of the world from now on. Is it Indian? Is it Chinese? Is it Pakistani? Nobody knows except for the person who animated this video.
    103
  99.  @thenoonegamer2678  Not anymore: I pinned this comment :D
    101
  100. OK THANK YOU. WHY ARE WE SHOUTING? AND HOW IS THIS RELEVANT?!
    96
  101. I linked her video for 'further watching'
    96
  102. As soon as I saw that video of the robot doing things robots have been doing since I was a child, I knew there was going to be a good Thunderf00t video about it.
    94
  103. yes, but we're going to cover that in a future video.
    93
  104. I'm pinning this comment because I think it's a very good critique. I had to cut down the section on book burning quite a lot. I think we'll cover some of this in a future video if we do a full series.
    92
  105. Ps, the best thing about the YouTube banhammer is that you can "hide" someone. So any comment or reply they make will be hidden on all my videos. They will still see their own comments and replies, but nobody else will. Of course, I don't use it often, but it's such a perfect option for the rude people.
    90
  106. ​ @joeking9430  Borderline racist? I have autism. part of my autism includes the inability to understand social hierarchy. This means that I literally do not posses the ability to understand discrimination. So I literally lack the brainpower to be a racist. I don't put blame on anyone in this video. This video is about why the country broke apart. If you then conclude it's all the fault of Serbs (which were barely mentioned in this video) then that's your own prerogative. At no point do I mention anyone was "freedom loving" at all. I only mention the reasons why Croatia and Slovenia declared independence but barely even mention the reasons for the other republics. So again: if you want to conclude that it's because they are "freedom loving victims" then that's your own prerogative. As for "Utter BS"... that's why I have sources in the description.
    89
  107. I actually did do extra research into Antarctica. When I said Antarctica was "totally fine" I actually meant it. There wasn't a decrease in expeditions or fewer research stations being set up. I thought it would be cool to talk about how a recession reduces spending on research by using Antarctica as an example... but I couldn't find any evidence that Antarctica 'economy' (if you can call it that) suffered because of the Great Depression. It would have been fun to talk more about it, but alas, there was nothing of note happening in terms of the Great Depression in Antarctica at the time.
    88
  108. Don't call other people a moron again or I'll remove you from the comment section.
    87
  109. This video is one on a series of decolonisation. This is the 2nd video, the first being African Decolonisation. We're currently working on a video on East Asian Decolonisation which will come out in the next 2 months or so. Afterwards we will continue until we've covered every part of the world.
    82
  110. When I say "give" I meant it as in "they did not send an army to take it back". I use this for every country that was "granted" independence. Including the other decolonisation videos.
    81
  111. I am sorry! I misspoke... It wasn't even Mumbai, it was Calicut. I got everything wrong with that one.
    79
  112. I said as much in the video: "but in 1899, a war broke out"
    76
  113. History Scope doesn't focus on individual people. Simon Bolivar was a product of his time. If it wasn't him, someone else would have filled the role. Just as it did in other parts of the Americas. We also didn't mention of the other famous people in other videos, for example.
    76
  114. You know you've made it on YouTube once Avery the Cuban-American comments on your video.
    75
  115. Actually walls don't work. People simply go around them. The Chinese Wall didn't work. The Berlin Wall didn't work. And the fences you mention also don't work. The reason there are fewer Syrian refugees coming is because most have already come to Europe and because Turkey is accepting them now. Not because of some fence... Notice how there are people dying in the Mediterranean to this day. Most immigrants come by plane anyway. And there is no wall big enough to hold them back.
    74
  116. Necrophilia is illegal.
    71
  117. huh, I actually completely forgot to state of total death toll... And I tried to simplify the human rights treaties a bit. While you are correct, I did not think it was as important as other parts of the video so I simplified it to "they signed the treaties, therefore they couldn't claim it wasn't illegal" because that was a common argument in the Tokyo and Nuremberg Trials.
    70
  118. You are correct, but I didn't want to spend a lot of time explaining that, because it wasn't that important to the subject at hand.
    70
  119. I've had to study German for years at school. Finally it has paid off!
    69
  120. Not any of you whose comments are still here. They're are random people making insults who I have to delete... It's annoying
    68
  121. I've added it to the next video for you so you'll get it then! :D
    68
  122. civil war. not a war. also not part of the EU
    67
  123. The decolonisation videos are part of a series. We will eventually cover the whole world and put it into one giant video.
    67
  124. That wasn't a joke. I've been waiting for this video for years. :D We've still got the Rwanda Tribunal to cover in the future as well... But we're going to wait a while with that. These videos are mentally quite taxing to make due to the heavy subject matter.
    66
  125. yeah, it's why I put in more emotion into that phrase. Because even if you have a good job, bosses are always incentivised to spend as little money on their employees' wellbeing as possible.
    64
  126.  @duckly5362  Because that's the country I'm talking about in this video.
    64
  127.  @billyb6001  That joke is terrible. I love it.
    62
  128. High praise, thank you! <3
    62
  129. I was quite surprised when reading about the UK sending warships to enforce their claim.
    62
  130. I like that you brought up "poor manners". Because that's something non autistic people do a lot, imo: when they all 'hi how are you' and you're honest by telling them you feel awful, they don't want to hear it. When you don't look people in the eyes they get angry that you're not listening to them... Eventhough it should be obvious that eyes aren't used for hearing. People use weird indirect hints instead of just saying what they really mean. Yet we don't tell non autistic people that they are super rude, because that would just be mean, because its just how they think differently. So please don't call autistics rude for thinking differently.
    62
  131. I am going to do a follow-up video on the Berlin Wall and after Reunification. It will be mentioned in one of those videos that I made the mistake. For now, I have pinned a comment from a viewer which makes the same point, so it's clear to people that I made a mistake in this video :)
    62
  132.  @flavioardizio7242  Nope. I cover topics which everybody knows happened but most people don't know a lot of details. So I won't go indepth on such specific parts of history. If you want a good video on the USSR's economy I suggest watching Economics Explained. His videos are amazing! Especially the one on the USSR!!
    61
  133. No, but there is a similar one: 125 - You can't make a deal if you're dead.
    60
  134. Yeah me too. But hey, I'll take Avery's comments as a sign of success :D
    60
  135. Kevinglas, the Earth King has invited you to Lake Laogai

  136. From the sources I've read Japan was considered a poor country, even compared to the Ottoman Empire. My sources state that Japan's plans worked because they never indebted themselves to other countries. While the Ottoman Empire spent 13% of its budget repaying debts to other countries, Japan repaid its debt to Japanese people. So any money that was borrowed came from Japan and stayed in Japan. This had 3 consequences. 1. The profits stayed in Japan, instead of going to another country (as was the case for a lot of others) 2. The Japanese were personally invested in making the Meiji Restoration work. 3. Foreign countries couldn't meddle as much in Japanese affairs because they had no leverage over the economy.
    58
  137. We had a second ww2?!
    58
  138. The worst part is that the ONLY flag I got wrong is from the country where I live. But thanks for spotting it! I will fix it for the next episode!
    57
  139. The funny thing is that I talk about Freeman's Mind in this video and on the same day a new Freeman's Mind gets uploaded. Today is a good day.
    57
  140.  @sonicfreak3467  the sneaky bastard! :D
    57
  141. Nothing is easy on economics, though. I think my audience is smart enough to realise that complex systems rarely have an easy fix :)
    56
  142.  @historypedia_id  I don't think you were overtly harsh at all. All your criticisms were delivered logically and without insults. It's why I pinned your comment: it's really good.
    55
  143. The reason I classified the Native Americans as being a non-threat to the British colonies and early USA is that they lacked the industry necessary to wage an all-out war against the Thirteen Colonies/USA. They simply lacked the industry and manpower to lay siege to a city, for example. While they were a definite danger, they were not an existential threat within their lifetimes.
    55
  144. "much more free" Having lived in Germany when gay marriage wasn't even allowed yet, I'd have to respectfully disagree. When consensual adults have a government interfere in their personal lives then that is the exact opposite of freedom.
    55
  145. Thank you. And I love your comments
    53
  146. Many likes this comment has. Not expect it, I did.
    53
  147. Good point. I shortened it because the video was already too long. Although from the sources I read, this was in direct response to the protests in order to communicate to those protestors that he didn't do anything wrong.
    52
  148.  @darklordish1  You make some good points but pizzarias (or other Italian foods) almost always use ingredients that aren't native to Europe (which I stated in the video). hamburgers almost always use Asian or American spices. Kebab originated in the Middle East. And even if they are the best in the world: they need ingredients from outside of Europe. Which is far rarer in East Asian restaurants.
    51
  149. Wait. Which other one?
    50
  150. Do keep in mind that things like melting ice caps are very easily visible. What it is lacking is a sense of urgency and proximity. Dying is very close to one's person. The artic isn't all that relatable. But realizing that a deadly problem will come your way in your lifetime and that death is certain is a very powerful message which global warming simply lacks. Saying sealrvels will rise over 100 years makes most people think "Ill be dead by then, I don't care". Which is also why I personally think that the new generation (born after 2000) is a lot more pro-green because it will affect them the most.

  151. Hi, just to clarify: I have removed Desi Raand from the channel because he was insulting people in the comment sections and spreading general hatred :) Luckily I can go through all the comments at least once per day to remove people like this :)
    49
  152. Beetje vreemd dat mensen hier kwaad over worden, vind ik. We maken films over de vietnam oorlog, de tweede wereld oorlog, etc. en daar hebben mensen ook gruwelijke dingen gedaan. Het is juist goed dat je eerlijk terug kunt kijken op de geschiedenis van je eigen land om er gezamelijk beter van te worden (bijv. Duitsland na WO2). Ja, er zijn verschikkelijke dingen gebeurt, die 100.000 doden zijn niet 'zo maar' overleden; ze zijn vermoord op de orders van de Nederlandse overheid en dat moet erkent worden.
    49
  153. Yes. Cocoa beans. I mean, it's chocolate. It's crazy we haven't yet turned to a chocolate-based economy :D
    49
  154. "pulled some strings" :D
    47
  155.  @haedamahn7229  well... I tried :(
    47
  156. It wasn't designed for it, but it was build so well that it was able to withstand it.
    47
  157. 10:00 "If we do not make serious mistakes, the 21st century will be the century of Turkey and Turks" Erdogan: hold my beer
    47
  158. I completely forgot I made this joke. Your comment made me read it again. I really like this joke actually xD
    46
  159. How are you everywhere!? Are there a bunch of people with this account name and profile picture!? Are you on YouTube 24/7!? How do you do this!?
    46
  160. Me too. Hence why I added the 'in Europe' part
    46
  161. That is true. Especially the maggots are interesting as they only like to eat dead tissue and puss, but won't eat any living tissue. That way they are FAR MORE effective than a surgeon who will accidentally cut into living tissue. Medicine is awesome!
    45
  162. Except forceful redistribution is practised in almost every western country, with the wealthiest of them (such as the nordic countries) doing to most redistribution.
    44
  163. Instead of being Doctor Avery, I can be Autistic Avery :D
    44
  164. It was his suggestion. But Churchill didn't want to hear of it and began to walk out the room before Stalin explained it's only "a joke". It's suspected that Stalin floated the idea to see the reaction he would get.
    44
  165. French Guitar guy has been banned from the comment section for using personal insults.
    44
  166. Famines are also man-made. At the time, technology had advanced enough that there was enough food in the world for everybody. Modern famines do not occur because there isn't enough food. They occur because people don't have access to said food. And access is controlled by the government. The idea that famines are accidents happening to people became outdated when we no longer required the vast majority of a population to work in farming. Stalin (and by extension his government) are entirely to blame for famines outside of the war zones in their country.
    43
  167. This video focusses on the economics, not the political side. Based on historical data, a country can become rich under various types of governments.
    43
  168. So now that a bit of time has passed I will be honest: I practiced A LOT to make sure that pour was the worst one I could do. At 12:26 you see me hesitate a little bit of whether to pour more. That was me deciding whether I should buy another bottle and try again. Because it looked too good. There are 2 reasons why I did this: 1. engagement. People would comment on it, like you did, and that would help us get more views and pay for staff. 2. I made videos about why india and africa are poor and a video on why the nordic countries are rich. The comment section is filled with racists. People told me they don't watch the video because they've seen my audience. And I don't blame them. I honestly can't keep up moderating them all because there are SO MANY racist comments. So now the first thing new people will see is not racism. Now the first thing they see is complaining about how I pour my beer. Which is much better imo. So yeah. This was a sneaky way to get more views and drown out the racists. Thank you for your service Bartley Horan!
    42
  169. At first it was part of the video but they were often exceptions in many ways and so we left them out of this video.
    41
  170.  @sgt290983  ;)
    40
  171. Or even better: let people live their lives the way they want to live their lives. Instead of enforcing hetero normative relationships. Most gay men are MUCH happier with another man. Most gay women are MUCH happier with another woman, etc.
    40
  172. Don't lose sleep over my videos please. Your health is more important :)
    40
  173. Hell yes!
    39
  174. @ethnic sovereignty By YouTube.
    39
  175. Yes. I won't work on it soon, because its too much of the same topic. But I will do a video about that eventually. But that also largely depends on how people vote on the polls.
    39
  176. Now that I've read your comment: I am glad fellow autists like this video.
    38
  177. I hope it was clear that I drew that image of Lely based depictions of Moses parting the red sea :D
    38
  178. I keep coming back to this comment to remind myself of the progress I've made.
    37
  179. I'm Irish?
    37
  180. It is estimated that by the end of this century Africa has 4 billion people and some of the largest economies in the world. Unless any major events break the correct trends, African nations will become future superpowers on par with Germany, France, or India are today. In that future China and India will be the world's superpowers with Europe and North America on par with Africa.
    37
  181. I only put the things in the video that are relevant to the subject at hand. We don't go on tangents like that unless it's absolutely necessary. Hence why we don't include things like that in any video. It'll just distract from the important bits. If everything got that 20 second extra then this video would never get done
    37
  182. If people start worshipping my videos then we've got bigger concerns, tbh. And the reason I drew this image was to make this video. If that offends you then don't watch thsi video. It's extremely rude to tell other people what to do in their private time when it doesn't affect you at all. So stop it. If this triggers you then please go to a psychiatrist to help you deal with these issues
    37
  183. Letting people argue is perfectly fine. I let people do it all the time... I won't tolerate people insulting each other or something like that.
    36
  184. I know this isn't very relevant to the overall video, but that animation at 8:12 is absolutely perfect.
    36
  185. True. But most countries in Europe don't have them
    36
  186. That's a good point. I did a bit of googling and apparently the British did plan on such a trial, however, concluded that they wanted to keep Italy as a friend during the Cold War. And putting the Italians on trial after they switched sides might have caused Italy to switch sides. So they cancelled these plans. (don't take my word on this for 100%, I just googled it for 5 minutes)
    36
  187. The USA git off the gold standard several times and then went back on it again. This isn't "changing dates". This is "doing the same policy multiple times".
    35
  188. If a person had no dna in their body then they wouldn't exist anymore... Wtf are you talking about!?
    35
  189. How many flags did you spot in this video? A recurring animation throughout my videos (recently) are the 3 rectangles appearing one by one. The colours of these rectangles are determined by the topic (colours of the Dutch Republic's flag for the Tulip Mania videos, colours of Germany's WW2 flag for the Nuremberg video, etc.). The Aztec, however, used a great many colours, meaning the 3 rectangles have a wide array of colours this time. This had the unexpected side effect that I accidentally created a lot of different flags. I, myself, was only able to spot 3 different flags but a friend of mine was able to spot 4. So how many can you find?
    34
  190.  @duckly5362  True, but this video isn't about the kingdom of Yugoslavia and is only mentioned to give historical perspective. I also really like that animation so that's why it's the first thing you see.
    34
  191. See pinned comment.
    34
  192. Yeah, Germans being Germans they first made it legal before actually doing it.
    34
  193. Yes. the Internet is a few decades old and many poorer regions of the world also have access to Internet by now.
    34
  194. To everyone who just got a notification from my heart reacting your comments: watch the video ya goons
    33
  195. No. It's based on records made by scholars who stole with the native Americans after the conquest, archiology, and the few texts that did survive... As was clearly stated in the video. This stuff wasn't just "made up" ffs.
    32
  196. Greece was poor 200 years ago. Today its still one of the wealthiest countries in the world, despite all of its economic woes. Compare that to many other countries and Greece did quite well for the last century or so.
    32
  197. Oh that's interesting! I couldn't find good pronunciations of Zhou and just used the one used in Avatar the last Airbender (for Admiral Zhao).
    32
  198. If that is a criteria for wealth, then North Korea would be a super power at this point. While a country like the USA or Great Britain would be incredibly poor. Diversity isn't the reason a country is rich or poor.
    32
  199. Als ik dit goed begrijp: Hij is een keer gepest door meisjes en wil nu constant wraak hebben op vrouwen? Ik snap dat je daar lang kwaad van kunt zijn... Maar dit soort mensen moeten nodig in therapie. Ik vind het vreemd dat hij 1 maand gevangenis straf kreeg en niet ook gedwongen naar de psycholoog moet gaan. Dit soort mensen hebben professionele hulp nodig anders houden ze nooit hiermee op.
    32
  200. Yep. I messed it up. I'm sorry.
    31
  201. Also, I am pinning this comment because I think it's a very good critique of this (type of) video. I will go into more detail about this in my video about the abolition of slavery. I will also put all the decolonisation videos together into a single large video of several hours long. I will change the phrases of 'giving independence' and 'granted independence' to something else. If anyone has a better choice of words please reply to this comment. I can't think of anything myself but I'm also autistic so words are difficult for me. So feedback is much appreciated.
    31
  202. You're right, it's very unlikely that a crisis would have occurred if the Greek government kept is finances in order. Today we see many counties where the elections revolve, in part, around reducing government debt. Greece didn't even have an opportunity to cast a vote on the topic via general elections. It's quite sad that millions must suffer because of the financial incompetence of a one government.
    31
  203. Nope, I hadn't even played Warcraft 2 yet, back when this plague happened :D
    31
  204. I thought I already replied to this comment, but I can't find it. This video took about a month to create, including lots of procrastinating.
    30
  205. Yes. They needed their own Deng Xioupeng, basically.
    30
  206. Same here.
    30
  207. You didn't watch my Tokyo Trial video, did you? :(
    30
  208. There's always that one...
    30
  209. I like how this somehow turned into some USA politics...
    30
  210. that was intentional, because I refer to it 1 sentence later.
    29
  211. 101k subs already! :D I'M COMING FOR YOU NIKKITUTORIALS!!! (For those who don't get it, she's the largest YouTuber in my country)
    29
  212. Africa is starting to prosper as well, as explained in this video.
    29
  213. Then by your own reasoning, you should respect my culture of free speech. Afterall, this video was made in the west, is stored in the west, and is distributed on a western platform. The problem with wanting to impose your own culture upon others (e.g. Not drawing someone) out of "respect", is that you immediately disrespect the person whom you try to impose your ideals upon. As you put it in yourself: "all of them have different thinking and we need to respect that"
    29
  214. And you're disrespecting every other culture by telling them what they can and cannot draw... You're imposing your culture by telling people to (not) do something. And you claim other cultures don't disrespect yet here you disrespect the whole world by telling them they cannot use visual art to depict a religion. And no... This video does not disrespect. It teaches. And if a stick figure makes people feel disrespected then their feelings are so incredibly frail that they're is no helping them anymore. You do not seem to grasp the hypocrisy of your own argument. As a result, there is no further point to this discussion. Please stop disrespecting other cultures by telling them what they can and cannot do in their own time. All cultures are different and you need to respect that.
    29
  215. Everybody gets a little bit of Kashmir from me.
    28
  216. The reason China is barely mentioned is because their influence is still very limited. Africa's largest trade partner is Europe and the west still gives more aid than China.
    28
  217. Good point. Should have worded that very differently.
    28
  218. Got it. Rome was all about US politics :D
    28
  219. I generalised, but you're right, I'm sure there are a lot of good teachers, schools, and programmes that teach it well to their students :)
    28
  220. It's not offensive. It's a drawing of a dude. If you choose to get offended, that's your perogative. As for free speech; it ends at bullying.
    28
  221. The Dutch economy is larger than that of Poland, Taiwan, or even Saudi Arabia. Its GDP is almost 1 trillion dollars (nominal). Two Netherlands would have a larger economy than Russia, for example. The Dutch economy is an amazing casestudy on how to manage your economy the right way (along with several others, of course, such as Australia or Norway or Singapore)
    28
  222. Story of my life as well. The moment I stopped caring is the moment I started to actually live, instead of just surviving. Good for you did standing up for yourself, instead of pleasing other people
    28
  223. I did not put his name in because I think a lot of people don't know who he is, unless they had an education about the USA. I assume the people watching this had a general education not specific to any one nation. So I assume people know about the world wars but I don't assume they know important figures of individual countries. So I didn't put his name in.
    28
  224. Have faith my children! I believe in you!
    27
  225. Please check out a youtube channel called NewAfrica. Made by Africans about Africa.
    27
  226. I check the comments several times a day via the YouTube Creator App. It helps me to keep track of all the comments and remove the one with insults, false info, or other bad things in them
    27
  227. Lots of countries have such a mentality without getting rich. While even more countries which don't have that mentality did get rich. "national character" doesn't appear to influence the wealth of a country as much as competent economic policy.
    27
  228. 1. A the UK's shit show has caused most anti-eu parties to significantly tone down their rhetoric. 2. The EU isn't a dictatorship... Hence the elections to parliament and elections of each head of state, national minister, etc. 3. The UK isn't better off. Less trade results in Leeds prosperity... That's why the UK kept coming back to the EU begging for a deal while the EU didn't really care all that much. 4. Support for the EU has only grown since then. 5. The poor countries need the EU money, the rich countries need the extra customers, the South needs the open borders for tourism, the North needs them for export, etc. 6. In a world increasingly dominated by superpowers, European nations can either become their servant (such as the UK or Australia with the USA), or join together to form a united front. Hence the EU, dispite its issues, is a necessity for any country European country that wants to maintain its independence from superpowers.
    27
  229. From that point of view it makes sense that it's so popular in western cultures: our crops are incredibly bland. We have a few spices growing natively in Europe and some nuts, but anything interesting like pepper, nutmeg, or pre-industrial versions of candy all come from Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
    27
  230. It was written by neither a man nor a westerner...
    26
  231. Oh right, Yoda is a different character... My bad :D
    26
  232. I'm also not anti any nationality... I'm too old for such bigotry
    26
  233. I know the sound quality isn't as good as usual. That's because in this video I spoke with my normal voice and my microphone doesn't really pick up louder noises. I didn't want to be inauthentic and the sound isn't too bad (I think). I am going to buy a new microphone next week so this will hopefully be the last time I've got bad audio quality.
    26
  234. It's even more disrespectful to tell other people what they are and aren't allowed to do in their free time. Hence why I don't pay credence to the idea that artistic expression should be limited by religion. One should never usurp the rights of another.
    26
  235.  @somebodyontheinternet1090  I don't have a wife, it was my ex-gf who encouraged me to make this in 2016.
    25
  236. That's a common theme for poorer countries: when you sell to poor people you can't make expensive products. So for India to produce on the same level of quality as, for example, Japan or Germany would mean the products become so expensive not enough people in India could buy it. So instead, they produce cheaper products at lower quality. To make high quality products you need rich people who can afford them. So India could create a small middle class who can buy such products. Then create the universities and production facilities needed to sell to that middle class. And as the middle class expands, so too can those facilities expand. This is similar to what China is currently undergoing.
    25
  237. It's getting to the millions soon. This video is currently the 2nd most watched in recent times.
    25
  238. Countrybaaaaaaaaaaall
    25
  239. Dit is allemaal leuk en aardig, maar zolang er een tekort is op de woningmarkt kan jouw huisbaas je op straat zetten als je gaat klagen. Leuk dat we geld terug kunnen krijgen, maar de kosten om te verhuizen (zowel mentaal als financieel) zijn vaak veel hoger.
    25
  240. Except the EU keeps integrating over time with every EU country havibg the stability of the EU as a geopolitical goal. So no. It's not in decline.
    25
  241. That actually sums it up perfectly!
    25
  242. I listened to that speech several times while making this video and kept thinking "you have one job!".
    25
  243. Capitalism is an economic system where trade, industry, service, etc. Are in private hands. Meaning anyone can own a business regardless of their (lack of) association with the business they own. In Slovenia first the government and then the workers owned businesses. Hence it's not capitalism.
    24
  244. I also thought I knew about the stuff that went on there... but then I read first-hand accounts and the policy leading to the brutality and it just boggles my mind how anyone could set up such a cruel system of 'governance'.
    24
  245. This is going viral right now. For as long as that’s the case, I will send all its ad revenue to charity. Vote here on how I should split the money (so if option A gets 20% votes, it gets 20% of the ad revenue): https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx3zYOd1mTRpEqQCjqPBJuYJ9XU1-HEDhU Here is a list of organisations providing aid to Ukraine that me and some other YouTubers have put together. You can also donate to these organisations directly: https://mega.nz/folder/nSA2BZ5Q#Nfv4vHcoJQFgtRVQt8xYTg/folder/mDpiUB6L

  246. Go get some sleep first and come back later. Your health is more important than my videos :)
    24
  247. Ik heb deze week een brief in huis gekregen om de zorg toeslag van 2020 nog even terug te betalen... echt bizar dat ze hier pas in October mee aan komen zetten. Gelukkig heb ik een successvol bedrijf, maar als ik nog mijn oude (slecht betalende) baan had gehad dan zou ik het ook moeten hebben terug betalen maar dan had ik het geld er niet voor. Hoe de overheid met toeslagen omgaat vind ik echt ranzig asociaal. Wanneer je niet genoeg geld hebt moet de overheid je helpen, in plaats van alles erger maken.
    24
  248. 😏
    24
  249. I like how the replies are all the same :D
    24
  250.  @ouss  Considering how bad inflation is in Argentina, that's probably a lot more money to them than it is to us in the west. So let's not judge other people for their donations.
    23
  251. I tried to include that but I couldn't find a good angle... I have to cut A LOT of my original scripts to make them work in the end
    23
  252. I have already created a video on that very topic :)
    23
  253. Because I messed up
    23
  254. I fucked up the editing
    23
  255. The part that still evades me is why someone thought that dancing in the skin of the princess was a better idea than to simply attack while the enemy were distracted by the wedding celebrations.
    23
  256. Omg. Yes! So much yes! The Netherlands was rich so they could afford to not flood. Bangladesh should invest in a similar system so it can get all the advantages of living in a river delta without all the hardships. While researching this and the previous videos on the Dutch waterworks, I was reminded that if Bangladesh or Indonesia (their capital is slowly sinking into the sea) or other flood-prone countries could have benefited from a similar investment if they had the money at the time. It's really quite sad to see such a big difference between two countries with a similar geography. Bangladesh could easily become the breadbasket of Asia of only it was able to develop like the Netherlands did.
    22
  257. I've removed anuj from the comment section.
    22
  258. Good. :D
    22
  259. No. I meant to say country, because that is the reputation Africa has with a lot of people. In the sentence right after, I explain why that reputation is wrong.
    22
  260. I just asked a Romanian about this and they say that they can understand Spanish quite well :D At least the basics.
    22
  261. You are right, what I should have said is that the new Germany hadn't given up claims to the former German regions of Poland :)
    22
  262. I have gone over the script, you will need to take 10 shots. Good luck everybody! My next video will also have this phrase in it (albeit slightly different). So don't think you're done drinking just yet!
    22
  263. It's not an agenda. These are geopolitical facts.
    22
  264. No anti-british biased was intended nor any narratives. These videos are meant to educate, not to push an agenda. The European development funds were a hotly debated topic during the Brexit referendum. It was therefore important to show the connection between how it was created and how it affects the world today.
    21
  265. Also: I see you're a person of culture
    21
  266. If you're not manly enough to be nice to people then you can't complain about others' manliness either.
    21
  267. Me too. I wanted to make this video ever since I made the breakup of Yugoslavia video about 4 years ago. I was just checking some economic statistics and comparing them to the west... When I noticed it had higher gdp per capita than some developed country. I've been wanting to learn more about it ever since.
    21
  268. ok
    21
  269. I am actually there. Look behind you.
    21
  270. "All your memes" I've literally only made 2 jokes about Belgians in all my videos. Don't blame me for this!
    21
  271. There there are 2 possibilities: 1. You're hallucinating 2. You're wrong and it is indeed possible.
    21
  272. I can do all those things as well, but I usually have the problem that I can't relax. There is always someone bothering me with something I don't care about, colleagues who used to bother me with personal stuff, some neighbour who is obnoxiously loud. And when i was younger I couldn't relax because of screaming teachers, parents, and students. But the moments of my life without these issues made me feel the same way. I could talk to people really well thanks to years of mimicing others, I am super productive, etc. If society had facilities for autistic people to not burn out, I think we'd be a lot better at doing the things we want to do.
    21
  273. The original comment is also a joke. There is a video on the history of Japan where the USA arrives at Japan. The YouTuber then says "Stop having it be closed" which has become a minor meme. I inadvertently have a very similar animation as that video, which the original comment is referencing :)
    20
  274. I never thought the knowledge of this video would actually help me in real life... But damn it is useful info to know to avoid sick people Imo.
    20
  275. yes. But you need to have a licence to do so. This license helps to pay to keep the flora and fauna in balance (as it is an artificial lake which serves as a fresh water basin for the Netherlands)
    20
  276. The cool kind!
    20
  277. "our prophet" Exactly. I don't force you to live by my standards. You don't force to to live by yours. Just as you are being extremely rude in my culture for telling people what they can and cannot draw... But I don't go around telling you not to, because that's your culture and I cannot force mine upon you.
    20
  278. I'm still sad that shoddy cast stopped making lore videos. The time between shoddy cast and templin institute was a sad time.
    19
  279. It was all real.
    19
  280. You're correct, it wasn't the only reason. In the sourced there was a quote from a member of Parliament who held a whole racist rant against Africans. Hence why I included it.
    19
  281. You are right on the lebensraum. I chose to translate the meaning rather than go for a literal translation. I thought 'breathing room' would encapsulate the meaning better than 'living room', which doesn't quite have the same urgency and sounds like an area of your house. But you are right on the actual proper translation :)
    19
  282. Get out! :D
    19
  283. :'(
    19
  284. Shipwrights and the owners of ships who had just come back to europe
    19
  285. I had those same questions when writing this video. I'm glad I was able to answer them for you as well
    19
  286. Nope, unlisted. Now it's back
    19
  287. 1st of January

  288. No, it would be a rather short video. They need connection to the sea. For this they can go through Pakistan, which is hated by everyone. They can go through Iran, which nobody wants to do business with due to nuclear weapons. Or China, which is only recently rich enough. With the invasion of the ussr, it became a hotbed for extremism.
    18
  289. That's a rather odd measurement to judge extra Credits for their value on history videos...
    18
  290. Even if we assume everything goes right and a colony is set up on Mars, there are A LOT of economic reasons why it will still fail 1. We don't know how much gravity humans needs to survive or reproduce. Until we know this, the Mars colony is a gigantic gamble. 2. A self-sustaining colony on Mars is impossible with our technology: Here on Earth, we need to gather resources from all over the Earth to create the fundamental parts of our society such as computers, fertilizer, power plants, etc. For this we have entire production chains requiring thousands to millions of people for each product. So unless you find a spot on Mars where all these resources are readily available all in 1 location it will be impossible to have a self-sustaining colony on Mars 3. What does Mars have to offer in terms of trade: a bit of science and a bit of tourism. Other than that, there is nothing on Mars which we can't get cheaper and easier here on Earth. But this isn't enough to pay for everything you need to sustain a colony. No city has ever managed to survive off of these 2 things alone. As a result, this colony will either die out or will require shipments to survive. Now, there is an alternative to making a self-sustaining colony that could be possible: Find Near Earth Asteroids with precious metals, bringing them close to Earth, and mine them for a profit. The waste materials such as iron, water, etc. are valuable in space but kinda worthless here on Earth. Use those waste materials to construct habitats in space and in a few decades we might actually have self-sustainable colonies outside of Earth that are economically viable. And while we should definitely go to Mars, it shouldn't be our first destination.
    18
  291. I used this image, btw. https://www.google.com/search?q=gorbachev&client=ms-android-huawei&prmd=inv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjBxZfMgPjjAhXSPOwKHYIOCVAQ_AUIFygB&biw=360&bih=518#imgrc=bQovboNKEovSpM
    18
  292. You are EXACTLY the type of person I wrote that paragraph for. I expect people who went on holiday to Italy or who wondered how city states became a country will be particularly interested in the topic.
    18
  293. The end of this video will probably mean I can never travel to China for publicly criticising their government :D
    18
  294. Me too. I've already had to remove a couple of them. But thanks to my other videos on Africa I already have a list of certain phrases which are held for review. So hopefully it's not going to be too bad.
    18
  295. You are absolutely right. But 200 years ago that was the case almost everywhere. And relative to other regions, it was better off.
    17
  296. I never even used the term warlord. You're making up quotes that aren't even in the video and then claiming I'm making a contradiction...
    17
  297. The controversy will be removed as soon as it comes :)
    17
  298. I´m from the Netherlands and I used to date someone from Russia and spent several summers there. What struck me personally the most was the lack of plumbing outside of the urban areas. Her parents built a toilet atop a hole in the ground. It was honestly depressing. I once gifted them a bedsheet from Ikea and they were supper happy with it. something people in the Netherlands can get easily, they were impressed by. Her mother was in her 60s on a pension and still had to work in the garden every day to get enough food. she had to work almost every day for a low salary on top of her pension and gardening. It was honestly super sad to see.
    17
  299. We've never had to work on a video as long as this one. It's truly a very sad topic
    17
  300. huh, that map thing is a very good point. We didn't actually check the non-Italian maps. We should put more care into that in the future.
    17
  301. It's quite a bit not complicated than that... But I'll make a video about that soon :D
    17
  302. The second channel is called Extra Scope. It doesn't have any content yet, though. You also won't be able to find it if you search for it AFAIK.
    17
  303. Those are not unique situations to the USA. All wealthy Christian countries are also capitalist. So that doesn't at all explain why the USA is so Christian, because then other countries would have the same situation. And the CIA literally couped Italy once. Yet they are also far less religious than the USA.
    16
  304. I have a question: at 1:00 you say that detonating the nuke will make Great Britain uninhabitable. But the largest nuclear weapon, the Tsar Bomb, was detonated on an island called Novaya Zemlya and people still live there. the local wildlife hasn't died out. So how come a nuke near the British isles will be more damaging than the largest nuclear bomb ever designed?
    16
  305. Good point. The reason was that Europeans had better naval technology due to poor access to Asian Markets, so they created ships capable of traveling to Asia.
    16
  306. I don't think I'll ever cover the Zulu, as Extra Credits already did a really good video on the topic
    16
  307. This gives a whole new meaning to "giving head" after a night out
    16
  308. Thank you for the offer, but I already have a gf and have to decline.
    16
  309. It's not the only cause. It would have happened anyway for other reasons, as the populations of Europe increased as well. But it was a factor in terms of export. With nearly all export increases in the 18th century being from trade with Africa, in the case of Great Britain.
    16
  310. You're correct about that. But this video is for the people who didn't study economics. There are A LOT of factors I left out or simplified. This is one of them. People who know more about economics can easily fill in the blanks (like you just did) while those who don't know a lot about economics can still get the basic principals without getting an information overload
    16
  311. Well, this comment section turned hostile quickly...
    16
  312. Sources are in the description.
    15
  313. In my last State Of The Channel Address I talked about wanting to go from making a video every month to making one every two weeks. Here is the progress on that for this video: This video took 27 days to create instead of 30/31. That's an increase of only 10%, however, this video let me make a work schedule for future videos based on how much time everything takes and how I can create videos more efficiently. This should mean that the next video should only be 3 weeks off... And I hope I can manage such a timeframe.
    15
  314. So what I'm getting from this whole thread is to make more long-form videos about the rise and falls of civilizations?
    15
  315. CHOCOLAAAAAAAATE!!!!!!
    15
  316. Yes. But those two things are completely different, though. The difference is that one is a personal opinion, the other is a blatant disregard for reality.
    15
  317. Whether Greece has the euro or not is up to Greece itself. It can choose to leave the EU at any time it wants to, just like the UK.
    15
  318. Don't be an ass and you won't be invisible.
    15
  319. :D nahhh, I'll be fine
    15
  320. Sweden is still one of the most prosperous nations in the world. If Sweden is destroyed... Then the rest of the world must be apocalyptic
    15
  321. I used them as an inspiration source for making these videos. Although i do plan to change the overall art style, have some more recent or controversial historical periods (such as the EU or the life of Muhammed), and I want to add more animations in these videos. But first I need to become faster in making these things!
    14
  322. This channel had been extremely euro-centric lately... I wanted to change things up. Glad to hear you like it :)
    14
  323. There are lots of good comments mixed in with some of the worst racism I've seen... Moderating this comment section is a pain
    14
  324. I've seen several people ask for this. I'll put it on the list
    14
  325. That's actually one of my favourite episodes. Patrick saying 'I love you' is the second funniest moment in all of Spongebob
    14
  326. I don't think we can do a video on Argentina. I understand quite a lot about economics. I am not an economist but I can look at most economic plans and understand the logic and how it's supposed to work. That makes writing 'why is country rich/poor' videos are easy to make for me. But Argentina is completely different. 'Normal' economic theory doesn't appear to apply to your country. So I'm not good enough to cover Argentina.
    14
  327. In a time when water was unsafe to drink, that might have made you very sick
    14
  328. I made videos about Korea, Japan, and Taiwan already. And no, foreign aid was just a small part of their economic development. The 3 countries in question became rich through state capitalism. Many countries received foreign aid and did not see the same levels of developments.
    14

  330. Austerity isn't without merits. But it's best to implement it when things are going well, instead when things are going poorly. That way, your country has saved money and is in a better position to fight upcoming crises.
    14
  331. Our country just has too many issues. And people wonder whether we should spend money on foreigners before solving our own issues. After 14 years of Mark Rutte's disastrous rule we have so many big problems: 1. rising inequality 2. rising crime (violent youth gangs started appearing) 3. rising mental health issues, because the government decided to "save" money on mental health for children 4. housing shortage, because the government refused to build more houses 5. People who received government support were wrongly accused of fraud and forced to pay back tens of thousands of euro, leaving them and their children in poverty. 6. shortage of healthcare workers due to them spending too much time on bureaucracy instead of doing their actual job. 7. no working integration policy (the website where foreigners sign up to learn Dutch was only available in Dutch... meaning that you had to speak dutch in order to figure out how to learn Dutch) Our government has sat on these issues for over a decade and did nothing. We now have so many issues in our country that a lot of people wonder whether we should focus on solving our own problems before letting in more foreigners.
    14
  332. A post of modern Romania used to be part of Hungary. That region is still ethnically hungarian. People from that region can receive hungarian citizenship and thus have dual citizenship. It's rather easy to be both hungarian and Romanian when you're from that region of the world.
    14
  333. No. I'm giving 2 possibilities based on your comment. If, as you say, it is impossible then we must both be hallucinating these images. But if you are wrong, then it is possible to draw him as seen in the video
    14
  334. No. Sweden voted to never fulfil the requirements needed to join the Euro. This is a slightly different scenario as Sweden is obligated by treaty to adopt the Euro when it is ready. But they're is no obligation to strive towards being ready for the euro. Its quite an interesting political move on their part: able to adopt at any time yet only if they choose to do so.
    14
  335. True, but I didn't include that in this video because I'm already talking about it in the first video in this series :)
    13
  336.  @Platypus_Warrior  Hence why I did mention that people who won't suffer from addiction have health benefits. Alcohol addiction, as far as I know (you probably know better than I) happens very quickly with people just drinking a few drinks per week. I wasn't talking about those people. So I was excluding all the people who suffer from alcohol abuse, from the weekly binge drinker at college parties, to people who drink to forget mental or physical pain. You are absolutely right that the health benefits are far far far smaller than the drawbacks for a lot of people. And also an interesting note is that throughout history most alcohol beverages were safer not just because it contained alcohol, but because boiling water was part of producing the drink. And it was the boiling of water that killed off the diseases more than the alcohol did.
    13
  337. Just for clarification, this isn't a 2 part video. It's going to have 6 episodes :)
    13
  338. I never said any of this is a Nordic invention... If you think it "just cobble together random stuff which has been existing for decades somewhere else" then all that shows is that other countries can get to Denmark/Finland/Noway/Iceland/Sweden as well.
    13
  339. Well, I have a map of Europe. I decided to remove russia, make the rest blue, and put that map in the video... I have no idea how I messed up this badly though...
    13
  340. At first all of Asia was going to be 1 video but we soon realized that was too much. Then we separated Asia into 3 regions.
    13
  341. Sorry that there is no historical video this week. I'm currently writing a thesis and I had to spend more time on that than I thought. In two weeks will be the video I planned for today, though! :)
    13
  342. GDP PPP Russia 2023: 4.008 Trillian USD GDP PPP Germany 2023: 4.171 Trillion USD And that was before the Rubble crashed again...
    13
  343. Next video is about Russia, then a non-Asian video, and then one on Saudi Arabia. After that we have a bit of a break from Asia
    13
  344. Koichiro Yagami, the father of Light in Death Note... Or at least, that's what it reminded me of.
    13
  345. I had to cut A LOT of stuff for this video. That was part of it :(
    13
  346. And yes. Please make a video about it and let me know
    13
  347. I don't know. This video only focuses on the transatlantic slave trade. If it's successful enough we might cover other slave trades too.
    13
  348. I'm not going back to college xD
    13
  349. I made a video about African Decolonisation as well. And with a couple of exception, the British did the same things in Africa. However, because much of Africa had a major economic crisis after the slave trade became illegal, there wasn't much to destroy anymore anyway.
    13
  350. A country is considered poor when its people are poor. To say country is rich but its people are poor is like saying the body is healthy but all your cells are infected with disease.
    13
  351. No. I said other people have that preception.
    13
  352. ;)
    13
  353. Europe never combined Christianity with anti-socialist ideologies, because Europe has a lot more socialist policies. It's a lot harder for Denmark to be anti-socialist when they have a wide range of socialist policies. Additionally, socialism was a lot more popular because Europeans trend to be more communal. So while the USA saw socialism as some great evil, most Europeans saw socialism as a partially useful system from which the useful sides could be incorporated into mainstream economics and politics
    13
  354. A lot of that isn't true and is actually European propaganda designed to legitimise the European rule over Africa in front of the other nations of the world. Based on how the poll is doing, I will probably make a video about that in the next couple of months.
    13
  355. We will do that at some point, but we'll wait at least a year. Making these videos is quite depressing.
    13
  356. No, it wouldn't get a heart. Genocides of 1 million+ casualties are rare. Even if you take into account that it wasn't possible for humans to commit such genocide for most of its history, it is still a rare event. At any moment in history most people aren't comitting or experiencing a genocide. That makes it "rare". While it has happened elsewhere too, that does not make it common. Hence why I decided against giving it a heart: not due to poor presentation, but because genocides on such a scale are indeed rare :)
    13
  357. The reason for that is that i had to cut out a lot of stuff. I try keeping each video below 8 minutes/2 pages long so I can only give a brief overview. If I do any more I won't be able to make the 2 week deadline I give myself. The commission does indeed get their general idea from the European Council of Heads of State. The commission has the power to create laws but they have to do so within the limits of what the European Council of Ministers and the European Parliament allow. These institutions act as a balance between national and EU interests: Parliament can't pass any laws the commission doesn't want it to pass and parliament won't pass any laws they don't agree with. In recent years the commission had its power diminished as parliament acts increasingly dominant. The Eurosceptics do exaggerate, in my opinion, but the EU is a thousand compromises held together by ductape. I will talk a little bit more about this in next episode, as I feel I didn't explain very well how the balance between the states and the EU led to this mishmash. :)
    12
  358. Trump also said that the virus would be over by now... Believe scientists on science. Don't believe politics on science.
    12
  359. And thank YOU for the great comment!
    12
  360. We will do that at some point
    12
  361. I feel your pain. I used to live near Liverpool (Huddersfield) and I thought I understood English fluently... It took me over a month just to understand even simple phrases like "morning!" or "bottle of water". Whenever British people with a thick accent come to the Netherlands, I often have to translate it for people as well. Even though about 90% of Dutch people speak English. While writing this script I kept thinking back to my time in the UK.
    12
  362. Yep. Fair point. I did not think of that, it should have been 'agricultural products' :(
    12
  363. My gf did suggest removing Finland from the map a few times, though :D
    12
  364. How so?
    12
  365.  @tyvamakes5226  Just like the Northern Water Tribe! :D
    12
  366. Those are the best!
    12
  367. China doesn't hold enough influence for colonisation of any sort. China seeks customers and resources in Africa, not political control.
    12
  368.  @alexandrub8786  Being against predators has nothing to do with being "anti-catholic"... It's just basic morality.
    12
  369. Well, they're are a few memes in my videos. But other than that, I try to keep the marketing parts to a minimum. Personally I get annoyed by YouTubers starting their videos with 2 minute ads. So I try to do that as little as possible
    12
  370. That is true. I merely meant that it became fully industrialised under a command economy, with large increases in productivity.
    12
  371. We don't spread propaganda in our videos. India doesn't control the land and so international maps show it's not part of India. We use maps shuttering effective control, not the fantasies of what governments want to control.
    12
  372. I didn't "forget" because they were never decolonised. This video isn't about how Asia was colonized, only how it was decolonized. In fact, I addressed this issue in the Aztec video where I pointed out that rule by fear results in everybody hating you and eventually rebelling against the central government, mentioning China specifically.
    12
  373. There are a great many value in Japanese society that would improve others' a lot, in my opinion. This is one of them
    12
  374. Except that Australia is famous for its (income/wealth) inequality for anyone not of European descent.
    12
  375. A handful of Spaniards? Did you not see the video!?! It was a gigantic army of natives who took out the Aztecs because they no longer wanted to live under Aztec rule... What the fuck are you talking about Era Fascista!?
    12
  376. Damnit! you spoiled the ending! :D
    11
  377. I've been thinking about your comment for a while (which is why I hearted your other comment). This is what I'm going to do: all the 6 episodes are going to be put into 1 long video. I think that will reach more people than 6 separate episodes. If they get a lot of views (100k+) I'd LOVE to do a compendium video about the Perpecha. The Aztecs, Mayans, and Inca are WAY over represented in history books. That is not to say they don't deserve a lot of attention, but it's also important to realise there were a lot of other countries and civilizations in these regions in those times. I think I did cover that quite a bit here, especially in the first 3 episodes where I talk a lot about the Aztecs's interactions with other countries. But I'd LOVE to do a while video on it. But only if it seems people are interested in it... I might ask people in a poll or at the end of the video if they'd like to see such a video.
    11
  378. Travis, we don't know the cause of autism. To suggest that it's genetic would without evidence isn't okay. Also, keep in mind that a big reason we would have more genes on the x chromosome is because women went undiagnosed. Therefore, less female-specific dna was available to do research on. On top of that, more and more women are being diagnosed at the moment. That wouldn't happen if there was no sexism. Then the rate would stay the same, but right now women's % of autistic people is growing. And one last thing: women are VERY often ignored in scientific research. For example, crash test dummies are based on what the average male looks like, not the average female. As a result, women are more likely to die in a car crash because of a lack of research on women's safety.
    11
  379. I freaked out when I saw he made a video about the same topic, but luckily, his video mostly ends at the point where this one begins :D
    11
  380. No
    11
  381. If India grows by just 5-6% per year it will have a gdp on par with the USA in 2050. India has historically grown faster than that on average for the past few decades, so its likely India is indeed on the rise, even with modest growth rates for a developing country
    11
  382. Then Turkey and Cyprus wouldn't have been at war, nor would peace have maintained for the 30 years after that. It also ignores the fact that when countries' economies intertwine in other regions of the world that a similar peace occurs between those countries.
    11
  383. I already used the UK elsewhere and I wanted a non-western country as an example.
    11
  384. TONIGHT, WE DINE IN HELL!!!

  385. Yes, but they based it in the original version made by Genesis.
    11
  386. Where is there any islamophobia or insulting?
    11
  387. while that is a very fair point and one I know and should have though of, I usually go with the Oxford dictionary definitions in my videos (they're all in British English) who defines a nation as "A large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular state or territory". By that definition I think it can be described as a nation. Although you're right, it's not a nation state in the sense we think of as post-feudal nations. The Chalca, just like the Aztec, were a feudal society so it's not very accurate. I've recently been playing Age of Empires 3 where they often call the native Americans 'nation' such as the 'Sioux Nation', which is why I think I went with that term.
    11
  388. True, but for the sake of military expansion they were mostly important as a military force. Hence why I talked about the military aspect when talking about military expansion.
    11
  389. I am very glad to hear that. It took me lots and lots and lots of takes to get it right. :)
    11
  390. yes. I considered going the South Park route and have black bars with the word "censored" on top of him... but that wouldn't fit my videos and I didn't want to lose credibility by doing that.
    11
  391. Damnit, chewy! Get back to Alderaan!
    10
  392. Maybe, there are vague ideas but nothing concrete.
    10
  393. Yes.
    10
  394.  @torilan2672  yes
    10
  395.  @lombardo141  Look up the song 'Hatsune Miku - Ievan Polkka' for your answer.
    10
  396. This is a video meant for people who don't have an education in business or economics. So while you're right about all of that, I didn't mention it because this video was already complex enough as it is :)
    10
  397. Of I couldn't do that then you wouldn't be seeing it So either I can do it or you're hallucinating.
    10
  398. One thing I found interesting was comparing Taiwan with my research on why Africa is poor. The Spanish colonies had a similar investment plan as Taiwan and today they are asking the most developed countries in Africa. It's interesting how Japan managed to do this decades earlier
    10
  399. Today we have similar situations: you can buy a house with a few stones, for example. Such as diamonds, whose value is kept high through intensive marketing and limiting supply. Although that being said, diamonds have other uses too... But they are still only stones.
    10
  400. I have never been good at spelling :( I no longer draw the texts in my videos anymore because, apparently, I can't do it without error. :(
    10
  401. The flag of the German empire is the red white and black, which I used in the three colours at 5:01
    10
  402. A nice civil debate. I love my audience.
    10
  403. They either went unpunished or were sent to denazification trials .
    10
  404. Damn, I put the colours in randomly. I never expected anyone to try to 'solve' it. You're good!
    10
  405. Wait... is someone posting parts of my videos on instagram?
    10
  406. Right... Because the entire world hinges on the USA... Please stop being so America-centric. There were a lot of reasons it happened. Not just one.
    9
  407. I really tried getting my mileage out of that one animation. My new videos have more variety :)
    9
  408. We probably will
    9
  409. The people owned the businesses. I thought I was clear on that being a big difference. But apparently I should have been clearer.
    9
  410. I do want to do that for a lot of countries. But also look at why certain countries became so rich.
    9
  411. Because YouTube knows you need to learn more things! :D
    9
  412. I uploaded 3 videos in 3 months! :o
    9
  413. I will discuss the chinampas in my series on the Aztec Empire :)
    9
  414. Slovenia and Croatia seem to be doing pretty okay, though.
    9
  415. It's a song about Skyrim
    9
  416. It's intentional. I did several takes to make it sound as subtle as I could
    9
  417. That's not me. That's the animator. I will let them know you said so.
    9
  418. Avatar The Last Airbender :)
    9
  419. Yeah, I fucked up there. i'm sorry
    9
  420. A video about the decolonisation of India is being planned, but we're kinda burning out on colonisation videos behind the scenes. I'm currently writing the American Decolonisation video and the researcher just finished the Transatlantic Slave Trade research. The decolonisation videos aren't very 'happy' topics. So that will take a while before we do the next one. But eventually we will have covered the entire world. In the end I want to combine all the decolonisation videos into 1 really really long video. Including parts from the Soviet Union and Ottoman videos.
    9
  421. Btw, I like your new couch. Fits well with the rest of your room.
    9
  422. See pinned comment
    9
  423. We already did! :D
    9
  424. Colonisation often results in the same atrocities as what Japan did. The point is that its weird for countries to try Japan for copying the countries who are putting them on trial.
    9
  425. That was on purpose.glad someone noticed
    9
  426. When people say 'give independence' it means that the oppressor simply gives up the fight. It's not an actual gift
    9
  427.  @soapbxprod  Says the person making angry comments in videos. Good job. You're banned now. Goodbye.
    9
  428. This is a history video, not a contemporary video. Additionally, China's influence is minor compared to that of Europe, for example
    9
  429.  @blobfish5013  I've been wondering that as well...
    9
  430. What could nicer than waking up to soothing sound of my voice talking about human sacrifices.
    9
  431. This still cracks me up even after 7 months :D
    9
  432. We did that for the Unification video. I did try putting it in, but each time I tried it distracted from important information. And info is more important Imo.
    9
  433. Any bigotry or outright discrimination will be removed.
    9
  434. The Red Wedding was inspired by the Black Dinner... George RR Martin's work would be seen as rather mundane to a people who held literal human blood sacrifices on a regular basis. As my friend put it "At 9am I go to the market, come home and help work on the farm, and at 12am I take the children to watch people's hearts ripped out while we try to collect some of the blood running down the pyramid, and then it's time for lunch"
    9
  435. Several judges were highly critical. The Dutch and Indian judges wanted to aqcuit them all on all charges, for example. But then again, the Chinese and Philippine judges had seen their countries pillaged... I can't imagine someone being impartial after that...
    8
  436. If you no longer need to suffer from horrible bosses or horrible work, you're less likely to go find a job just to get abused by your employer. If jobs weren't abusive, people wouldn't be so upset with their employment.
    8
  437. It is currently on my 'to improve' list :)
    8
  438. There is nothing to correct
    8
  439. I don't give my opinions in my videos.
    8
  440. True, but it seems unlikely that the USA will let in a large number of migrants within the next 30 years to make serious economic gains from it.
    8
  441.  @NiernenLP  When people vote for it. But because the decolonisation videos are rather depressing, we try not to make them too close to each other.
    8
  442. We covered Africa, Americas, South-East Asia... India isn't that bold, is it? As for money, the decolonisation videos underperform compared to most other topics.
    8
  443. Dear Mister President. We know, it's going to be 'America First'. But can we just say 'Netherlands second'?
    8
  444. Seeing as you need modern tech to make enough food for everybody... And people die without food: yes. Yes it would. If we don't have artificial fertiliser being made, no trains or trucks transporting it, and no tractors to put it on the field you need to do everything by hand. But because only 1-2% of the population knows how to farm and there is no advanced communication to organise all of this: yes. Yes it will be far worse.
    8
  445. I might do that one day
    8
  446. Muhammad wasn't a sikh farmer so no worries.
    8
  447. Then they'd all run out of ammo after a short while...
    8
  448. 2005*
    8
  449. YouTube deleted most ableist comments automatically and I remove the rest :)
    8
  450. @Leander Poppe The next few videos won't have any Belgians in it, don't worry. The April 1st video will have a German joke in it, though :D
    8
  451. It's not disrespectful. It's a drawing. Drawings aren't disrespectful. If you people choose to get offended by a random drawing then they have bigger issues in their lives and should seek psychiatric help.
    8
  452. no, that was reunification.
    8
  453. About 200 hours or so
    8
  454. See pinned comment
    8
  455. Perhaps. I would like to make a video focusing on Africa, as I haven't done that yet
    8
  456. The answer from a Liberal point of view to that answer would be a lack of opportunity due to a lack of liberalism (the philosophy emphasising personal freedom, including in economics)
    8
  457. Ik vraag mij af of dit wel zo nuttig is. Er staat immers op de achterkant van elk product exact wat er in zit. Wij leren bijna niets over hoe je gezond moet eten of een gezonde maaltijd moet samenstellen. Als je echt gezond wilt eten moet je naar een dieetist gaan of zelf die in de materie duiken. Zou het niet veel handiger zijn om mensen te leren hoe je een gezonde maaltijd samestelt? ipv een kleurcode die vrijwel niemand begrijpt?
    8
  458. Just because they can't speak doesn't mean they don't communicate...
    8
  459. Apparently the part at 4:35 is not readable on YouTube. If you want to read it you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYb6v1AlX6prKl83DswM5iw/community?lb=UgzePhUT3GnhzdRMLgh4AaABCQ In the end I am going to put all the video's together into one long video. I will make that part in 4K quality so this problem won't happen again. The original file is readable... I have no idea why YouTube doesn't show it correctly.
    8
  460. I wasn't profitable enough, basically. It's a marketing company and they couldn't sell animation videos to their clients and so my salary couldn't be paid. It was a small business with only 4 other people. So they had to choose between paying me or going bankrupt, basically. I understand the decision, I would have made the same decision.
    8
  461. Hence "in the future"
    8
  462.  @RoScFan  While you're correct, I couldn't have worked on it longer without going completely insane. After about 1 month the topic becomes boring... after 2.5 months I lose the will to work on it.
    8
  463. I've blocked Nathan from the channel for name calling :)
    8
  464. The map of Europe is not determined by the leaders of countries. It's determined by geographical location. Hence why the UK is in the map.
    8
  465. Met dat shirt en die achtergrond, lijkt ze net op een zwevend hoofd :D
    8
  466. The 2nd thing was used in the production of this video... My videos are not the product of a sober mind
    8
  467. The big Bang Theory is based on observations of the universe. Using the doppler effect we can see everything moving away from each other. The Big Bang Theory merely postulates that if everything is moving away from each other, everything was much closer in the past. This does not require faith, only extrapolation.
    8
  468. Oppression never works. Be it a personal relationship (abuse partner) or a government or in a company. Oppression always fails. There are countries who are free and countries who face rebellion. The USA has been relatively free and they only faced civil unrest from the population who wasn't free. The USSR is another such example (and one I will cover in a future video series). One day North Korea will face something similar, unless they change. You can see right now the situation in China and Hong Kong where people like freedom but the government doesn't... And now they face protests. If you are interested in this topic, my next video will cover this topic in more depth for the Aztec Empire... They would murder in horrible ways (beating children in front of their family, gladiatorial 'games', ripping out hearts, etc.). I will analyse how this government created its own demise.
    8
  469. Except Bulgaria... I couldn't find a Bulgarian piece of music that was both out of copyright and good. I got some hymns... But they sounded terrible :D
    8
  470. @James Stubbs I am going to do a video about autism at some point. the problem is that I can't use my own experiences as each autist has different ones. I also only have 1 type of autism while there are 5. So I want to get people to share their experiences and point out things I got wrong, so it's as accurate as possible. Most sources atm are either from parents or medical professionals, I want to offer the autistic perspective from autistic people.
    8
  471. Yeah, I messed up there. I don't know how that happened tbh
    8
  472. None of that is relevant to the subject at hand, though
    8
  473. Please show me a source which states slaves received a lot of money, education, and useful urban skills before moving to the cities. If I was mistaken, please show me
    8
  474. Free speech ends where a call to hatred begins. I won't delete something because it disagrees with the video. I am not removing your comment, for example. I will, however, delete something when it is spam, contains personal insults, or promotes violence. :)
    8
  475. Thank you! It's much easier to draw a person when I have a 'model'. all the best drawings are either from politicians or from my friends :)
    7
  476. I didn't want to go into detail about the Mughal Empire, which is why I made the point about their lack of consolidating their empire and just focussing on warfare (and civil war). As for persecution under the Mughals, I googled it a bit and am already finding some really really terrible stuff they said about Hindus...
    7
  477.  @nosferatuoddz7974  >:(
    7
  478. 1. It's not a picture it's a drawing 2. It's not "not respectful". It's a drawing. Please see a psychiatrist if poorly-drawn drawings trigger you. 3. You don't have any say in what is and isn't allowed for me to do. 4. I don't care if Muslims unsubscribe
    7
  479. If you want to learn more about the political process, watch my first episode in this series :)
    7
  480. Did you pass?
    7
  481. I don't. This one took about 5 weeks to make.
    7
  482. No. I only remove people from my comment section when they are being racist or insulting other people. If you can still comment, YouTube deleted it. And my god do we have lots of racist comments.
    7
  483. Much more of that in my next video. I'm working on it now and want to finish it this weekend... Although it might slip into early next week as well :)
    7
  484. The Ottomans started being carved up in 1807. Another major part broke away in 1878. Both events were well before his death and around the time these types of decisions were being made by the Japanese.
    7
  485. is that good or bad? :D
    7
  486. What a naive comment (look how little value a statement has when you provide no explanation of why that's the case)
    7
  487. People voted for a video about Japan, so we've recently begun researching it
    7
  488. "which is ongoing" Then I can't put that in a video about decolonization
    7
  489. @emycharaa I've muted him on the channel. We don't want that kind of behaviour here.
    7
  490.  @zhubajie6940  Unfortunately, I can't write in Mandarin. I instead google 'how to pronounce' followed by the word I want to pronounce. In the case of Zhou, it gave me the same as Zhao. As for google translate: it sounds like a badly put-together audio clip. Considering how terrible it's with English, Dutch, and German pronunciations, I don't trust it with anything else either.
    7
  491. Probably yes
    7
  492. And it's current prime minister is the grandchild of one of those people who committed the atrocities.
    7
  493. I am planning to make this into a series with the creation of the Berlin wall, it's fall, and ending with the post-reunified Germany. It is unfortunate that I was forced to cut the turmoil of East-Germany after reunification.
    7
  494. When the USA left, the leaders of Japan wanted paroles, seeing as the new leadership were colleagues of the imperial leadership. On top of that, the emperor was still there. Then some politicians happened and Japan got the other countries to agree to the paroles.
    7
  495. I didn't mix them. I simple fucked up the drawing.
    7
  496. I did a book report on that as a teenager. IIRC it's not worth a 40-50 minute video
    7
  497. See pinned comment
    7
  498. That is the Ghanaian National Anthem
    7
  499. Since I started this series, I am going to finish it (eventually). But I'm definitely staying more on topics that have real-world influences. The GOT videos are more test beds to experiment on :)
    7
  500. :o damn, you're right. I messed that up
    7
  501. It's not "all the white colonizer's fault". As shown clearly in this video.
    7
  502. We now upload the first of (almost) every month.
    7
  503. Google is doing that for me now :)
    7
  504. Africa had wheels. They didn't use them because rivers are more efficient methods of transport. While wheels require lubricant. And the only cheap lubricant before modern industry was the pig. But pigs don't live naturally in subsaharan Africa. And so the wheel couldn't be used. This is why ONLY regions with pigs ever developed wheeled transport.
    7
  505. So everybody knows what a populist is: "a person, especially a politician, who strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups."
    7
  506. I drew him for an animation I discarded in the end. But I also wanted to use as many different Indian characters, so I used Modi for that
    7
  507. No. The imperial family held little power at the time, similar to modern European royalty
    7
  508. Because China has had very little influence on the world, especially since the 16th century when this video begins.
    7
  509. Advocating for war and the murder of thousands of people just so you have some land always sounds rather weird. People who are fine with wholesale slaughter are not nice normal people.
    7
  510. Leopold II, as stated in this video
    7
  511. I did.
    7
  512. Sadly my autism prevents me from teaching in person.
    7
  513. me too! And all the more incentive for him to learn English! :D
    7
  514. You are correct in a lot of ways. Certain industries did really well regardless of the slave trade. The African steel industry was as advanced as the rest of the world up until the 19th century. But it's the sudden disappearance of vital industries in the 19th century that we think caused an overall economic depression (although more research is needed. Africa is woefully under-researched). And after the slave trade largely ended a lot of this industry quickly returned to West Africa, Central Africa, and South Africa. But it wasn't fast enough to catch up with the Europeans at the time.
    7
  515. we did: the internationally agreed map of control. This is the territory India controls. Just as we don't add Taiwan to China, we don't add parts to India
    7
  516. I don't turn off starcraft, I just put it in the background. Hence why it looks like I'm playing for days.
    7
  517. Damn, that would be awesome. Where my check?! :D
    7
  518. It was already in an industrial revolution when the British showed up. This ended under colonial rule
    7
  519. There is no, and never has been, any evidence that there is any significant difference in the intelligence of human population groups. Modern humans have only been living in that part of the world for a few thousand years. That's not time for a population group to become "intelligent, hard working , and industrious" through evolution.
    7
  520. Your country can have a large economy while it's people are poor. Just as a house can be big and still have small rooms.
    7
  521. Unfortunately I don't have the money to buy a better microphone :(
    6
  522. Please watch the 5th episode in this series as it explains how EU power is divided among the countries and how nearly everyone in charge is elected directly or elected by national governments who in turn have been elected by the people.
    6
  523. I got it wrong because I confused east and west and never noticed it
    6
  524. It's a Discord server. the content will be on there anyway. the only difference is that they can now press a 'delete' button. It's not actual work, it's just pressing 1 extra button every couple of weeks. idk what kind of content you're thinking of that is abusive and not safe, but we haven't had anything even close to that in the DC server.
    6
  525. That's the flag they used at the time.
    6
  526. You would most likely freeze to death without the support of a larger country.
    6
  527. Then how come so many people are starving, Africa's GDP is smaller than Japan's despite having over 10 times the people, and produces almost no high-value manufactured goods.
    6
  528. Korea was exploited during the occupation, from frequent rape parties to pillaging, to wholesale slaughter.
    6
  529. Links are automatically removed by YouTube. Don't blame me for it :D
    6
  530. What is generally taught about the Aztecs is quite often incorrect. Though they are a fascinating culture, if only to see how they developed similarly and differently
    6
  531. Investments and buying stuff are the same thing. Your investment is useless unless people buy whatever it is you invested in (e.g. House, business, etc). When you invest in something you've bought something. When you buy something you've invested in whatever you bought such as food to help you live longer and so you invested in your own longevity.
    6
  532. How did I mock anyone?
    6
  533. The Spanish, at most, fielded 1000 soldiers. The main fighting force against them were the 100.000 or so soldiers from the various tributary states. If they had not joined the Spanish cause, Spain wouldn't have won this war. Those tributary States only joined the Spanish because the Aztecs were so brutal.
    6
  534. Because my audience is relatively young (under 35), I decided to go with the most recent ones such as the Dotcom Bubble, 2008 Bubble, and the Bitcoin Bubble. But you're right, they are equally valid :)
    6
  535. I delete all the racist comments on my channel that I can find :)
    6
  536. By focusing mostly on men, you ignore women. If you do so systematically, it's discrimination. Discrimination based on sex, is sexism.
    6
  537. We're also going to do a video about the first unification of China... be prepared for more!!! :D
    6
  538. no, it's not source: https://www.economist.com/news/world-if/21724908-huge-potential-impact-rich-countries-prolonged-loss-electricity-disaster
    6
  539. I like how you contradict your first statement in the rest of your comment :D
    6
  540. What was incorrect about them?
    6
  541. Je luisterd naar mijn videos terwijl je sport? :D
    6
  542. Well... You say there isn't that much weed... But this video was partially made on weed :D
    6
  543. This is literally the only video about either of those subject I've ever made... But you will be pleased with my next video, I think.
    6
  544. Btw, I'm currently covering the Aztec Empire (writing the script as we speak) and I will cover their waterworks as well :)
    6
  545. +Benjamin Nielsen How so?
    6
  546. If the USA had the power to break up countries like that it's a miracle it still has enemies.
    6
  547. That's not the case necessarily. In Africa various countries have given access to electricity to their citizens. However, few see any noticeable growth. Apparently, electricity isn't enough.
    6
  548. I did talk about the system of stagnation implemented by the British, though
    6
  549. We already did a video about East-Asian Decolonisation. The Philippines is included in that.
    6
  550. yes. I removed that video because it was in 360p quality because Adobe messed up again. Sorry about that :(
    6
  551. This video is about decolonisation only. As it was never a colony it wasn't relevant to the subject at hand
    6
  552. Can't get guillotined of you don't have necks! :D
    6
  553. That is my right. That's why I get to eat soup in the morning without being arrested, despite almost everyone I ever met not liking it.
    6
  554. Keep in mind that power lies in economics and people when it comes to EU decision making (the 3 most powerful countries were also the three with the most people and largest economy). While a Portugese leadership would be interesting (especially seeing how they deal with many issues), they lack the people and economic might to have any significant decision-making capabilities. Portugal is known for their inability to get their gdp per person in line with other Western powers.
    6
  555. By being the largest financial centre in the world, who is reliant is reliant on lose trade with the European continent for various products. If you lose that market then you too will have a large recession. Just as Europe doesn't have the dollar yet Lemon Brothers' bankruptcy caused worldwide chaos. You don't need the same currency to have close economic ties :)
    6
  556. I'm not giving any personal opinion on this video. These are merely the legal arguments used in the trial.
    6
  557. Mostly, yes. Although improvements are already being planned
    6
  558. I say what it's about in the first 10 seconds... Of you're going to complain, at least pay attention, you lazy bastard :D
    6
  559. India has 1.89 million km2 farmland. The USA has 1.68 million km2 farmland. And if you didn't get the tentacle starfire/raven is referring to... Then I'll let you Google that yourself :D
    6
  560. I won't focus too much on extremism. The femminazis, who don't want equality but instead want to force people do live their way (e.g. If a woman wants to be a mother, it's bad. Or wanting to replace a patriarchy with a matriarchy, or only focus on minutiae, etc). They are a vocal minority, but don't represent what most people want. It's like focusing on climate change and talking a lot about the people advocating for killing all humans. Sure, there are some who want that but it's not representative of the whole movement.
    6
  561. You're right. I meant his grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, was a war criminal. I corrected my original comment. He brutally ruled Manchukuo and was imprisoned for 3 years but released by the USA because he was deemed the best guy to lead Japan. He consolidated the Conservatives in the Japanese government and helped create the modern political system in Japan. He was a nationalist, apparently, who didn't care what it took as long as Japan was doing okay.
    6
  562. I like solutions that solve the original issue by making something else even worse.
    6
  563. Planned economies cannot provide enough supply as they aren't versatile enough. And no, they were VERY wasteful. A good example is the amount of concrete produced vs how much they actually used/needed. Recycling has been around for millenia... So socialists didn't invent that either. Socialist economies also weren't well known for the quality of their products, quite the opposite in most cases.
    6
  564. This was actually done by another person. I will pass the compliment along :)
    6
  565. I checked Steam and I have over 1400 hours in that game by now... I didn't consciously use it as a Civ V reference but in hindsight it's obvious that I got that phrase from the game. :D
    6
  566. Nationality and skin colour aren't mutually exclusive.
    6
  567. Mericaaaa fuck yeaaaaaaaah!
    6
  568. I was hoping people would notice
    6
  569. what about GERMANY. WILL. BE. UNITED!
    6
  570. That would exclude the non-sausages, though
    6
  571. And not a single mistake is being pointed out... Not to mention that the ones comment already addresses this issue...
    6
  572. My opinion was never stated in this video. I think my opinion on the subject is far too much on the 'fringe' to even be worth mentioning in a history video. Basically every single point of view in this video is one I disagree with to a certain extent. Nor were any of the views of the other people working on this ever stated. This whole video is just to understand how we got where we are. Not to shoce my opinion down someone's throat.
    6
  573. To answer your question: no Taiwan can't really overtake the big economies. That's because Taiwan is too small to develop new technologies for all aspects of life. so whereas the USA, EU, or China have the resources to devote to almost anything, Taiwan needs to focus. But that also means Taiwan has to import innovation from other countries to make up for what it can't innovate on its own. And so Taiwan can't overtake the other countries because it relies on their technological and economic knowhow to develop.
    6
  574. Every part of the world which starts economic integration with its neighbours sees an end to war because war is more difficult and more expensive. The EU is just one example of this.
    6
  575. The official map is not correct: it shows India controlling territory that it didn't actually control. People aren't "making a mistake", they refuse to abide by Indian propaganda. Should India ever control the disputed territories then we will use the "official" map instead of the territory India actually controls
    6
  576. Yeah no. Finland wasn't part of nato and had one of the largest armies in europe.
    6
  577. That was on purpose, yes.
    6
  578. The Dutch never colonised India...
    6
  579. It took me 2 months. That's way too long. Next video will hopefully be faster and shorter (unless people vote for African decolonisation... I see now way how I can make that a shorter video)
    6
  580. I just checked my file with the assets: I never realized I made Canada wrong several years ago. I am going to fix that.
    6
  581. The USA was never anti-colonial... To this day it has colonies.
    6
  582. Population growth does not equal development, though.
    6
  583. Yeah you're right that was pretty lazy. Somehow I always assumed that Ireland gained independence after WW2 and when animating, I don't always check if the borders are correct for that specific year. However, this video is part of a series. Around June I'll upload a video which includes parts of this video. I have made a note to replace all the UK assets after 6 December 1922.
    6
  584. yes, you've had First Breakfast. But what about Second Breakfast?
    6
  585. I sing so that on my videos, so no worries here :) I only delete the REALLY bad comments
    6
  586. It's the internationally recognised map. How dare U to modified Internationally recognised map????
    6
  587. That's why it's called a "spectrum". Not every autistic shares the same characteristics
    6
  588. That's an interesting topic. I will add it to the list. But it might take a while before it makes it on to a poll.
    6
  589. None of the instances mentioned there were from the renaissance. The French with napoleon and loui 14 (not sure if that's the right number) , the Germans during world wars, and the soviet Union during the col war.
    6
  590. "IT SAVED THEIR LIVES"
    6
  591. Dat is makkelijk uit te leggen: Als jij een rechts-stemmer bent heb jij maar een paar keuzes 1. pvv en fvd zijn racistisch. dus als jij rechts bent maar niet racistisch kun je niet op deze 2 partijen stemmen 2. SGP. maar als jij recht bent maar niet christelijk bent ga je hier niet op stemmen 3. Ja21 was erg klein in de laatste verkiezingen. Dus als jij rechts bent maar niet racistisch, antisemitisch of christelijk bent heb jij slechts 1 partij waarop jij kunt stemmen: VVD De VVD wint niet omdat het een goede partij is. de VVD wint omdat het niet genoeg competitie heeft. Terwijl linkse en center partijen juist erg veel competitie hebben.
    6
  592. You bring up some very good points. I will discuss the reasons for the Spanish conquests in episode 5 in greater detail and I shall mention what you said here as well (how it's seen today vs the reasons they really went according to the conquerers themselves) I would like to reply to this but I'm currently with my girlfriend visiting a botanical garden so I don't have time right now. Would you be so kind as to reply to this message so I get a notification to remind me to reply? :)
    6
  593. It cost too much and they thought that Belgium was too difficult to get through. The Maginot Line was meant to prolong an invasion long enough so that the French army could mobilise. The ardennes, they thought, served that purpose well enough. Belgium was also an ally, meaning that France could deploy in Belgium in time to further halt a German invasion. Belgium was also strongly opposed to a border fortification on their border. But when Belgium became neutral, france decided to extend the Maginot Line all the way to the English channel... But it was too little too late.
    6
  594. That awkward moment when invading other countries isn't seen as starting a war...
    6
  595. Morocco rejoined on the 30th of January 2017 :)
    5
  596. The best thing about this channel: the fans! :)
    5
  597. no this is the perfect map: it shows effective control instead of propaganda.
    5
  598. That's not relevant to the breakup and so I didn't put that on
    5
  599. I've lived there. I've lived among people without a working toilet and running water. I've seen elderly people struggling to buy food because the pension is too low. Most people in Russia aren't that well off.
    5
  600. I still feel stupid for calling it a tiger
    5
  601. I said it only once, when talking about how that perception is wrong... On purpose to show its wrong.
    5
  602. Simply because the USA had terrible healthcare, doesn't mean the USSR didn't also have it. More than one country can have terrible healthcare.
    5
  603. No. Poor people have more children because they don't have the ability to prevent pregnancies and need them for farming.
    5
  604. nope. I don't cover wars. Wars are covered WAY too much in history lessons.
    5
  605. Yes.
    5
  606. Having black people in your army doesn't mean you're "good" to them. And I never said it was invented by Portugal.
    5
  607. I did the same with my knife and fork and people always got angry at me about it as well :(
    5
  608. What's the name of the character in your profile picture? It looks very cool
    5
  609. I'm planning to do a video about the disintegration of Yugoslavia... If that video is popular enough I could make a follow up video about the trials of various warcriminals of the former-Yugoslavia countries
    5
  610. Yes
    5
  611. Source: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-american-food-giant-the-largest-exporter-of-food-in-the-world.html Export and production aren't the same thing :)
    5
  612. Spain - Wikipedia The dynastic union of the Crown of Castile and the Crown of Aragon in 1479, often considered the formation of Spain as a country. The Aztecs were conquered almost 40 years after Spain was created, apparently.
    5
  613. See the pinned comment.
    5
  614. The video clearly states that...
    5
  615. Yes. He did. But so what?
    5
  616. ;)
    5
  617. Thanks mirjana, it took a team of psychologists years to make that diagnosis. But apparently all that was needed was some stranger in the Internet listening to my videos to disprove those years of tests. If psychology was truly that easy, we wouldn't have to study for years to become psychologists
    5
  618. My sources are in the description. I have no opinion on this subject at all. I'm not from the USA. So their lives, their choice.
    5
  619. Wow! Even I didn't know that. Thank you! :)
    5
  620. Because if someone chooses to get offended by a drawing then they require psychological assistance... There is nothing I can do about that, this is simply how my videos are made.
    5
  621. The puzzle is ableist so this symbol was used... Plus, it was made by AS. The light spectrum shows autism is a spectrum... Light is not gay.
    5
  622. My EU videos cover Europeans not getting along :D
    5
  623. I don't know
    5
  624. Except most countries don't have nuclear weapons, making MAD not applicable to most countries in the world.
    5
  625. This video has become severely outdated since I published it
    5
  626.  @comradeofthebalance3147  Please go to google translate and listen to the pronunciation of 'Zhou'. It sounds really really bad.
    5
  627. I TRIED finishing this video sooner... I tried... :'( I am currently working on making these videos a lot faster. My goal is to make a video Avery two weeks. I made a video last year explaining my goals for the then-upcoming year. I am currently making another update video like this where I will go into more detail :)
    5
  628. Ssssssssssorry
    5
  629. In Dutch we pronounce the name almost the same as Iraqis, so that one was easy to do right.
    5
  630. I like that you liked your own comment.
    5
  631. Yeah... I had hoped this video would never have a real life counter part...
    5
  632. Such as?
    5
  633. Because it's south of the North Sea :)
    5
  634. It was a really good question to start with!
    5
  635. Sure. It's just a naked body. There are billions of naked bodies in the world. It would be a lot weirder if children dont know what humans look like Also a bit weird how you only talk about a girl... Stop it with that sexism.
    5
  636. Unfortunately, the data from that period is extremely scarce. I tried using inflation and converting the currency to modern ones but inflation data wasn't available. Hence, I had to go with the data that was available, such as salaries. Next I had to choose one that fit well with modern professions and the carpenter, while of course not being the same, is quite similar to a modern carpenter. "fair" is an extremely subjective term and wages were most likely set by supply and demand as concepts such as minimum wage weren't implemented in the Dutch Republic at the time. Hence, this was the best solution to compare the cost.
    5
  637.  @StillRooney  To find the information, please google "nordic neo-colonialism" there are several good sources there :)
    5
  638. I looked at the annual wage of a carpenter in the USA and multiplied it by 10. Hence why it uses the carpentry sign.
    5
  639. Well, many countries have that amount of resources. Going to the moon costed about 150 billion dollars in today's money. So most countries can go to the moon if they decided they really wanted to.
    5
  640. It's independent. If I want to do business in Taiwan, China's laws don't apply. Stop saying bullshit
    5
  641. In terms of economic development the Dutch really didn't do much for the island. It was truly the Chinese who started to modernize the country in the 17th century and Japan who start industrialisation in the 19th and 20th centuries. The most meaningful contribution the Dutch made was that the Dutch colonisation of Taiwan led to China taking over.
    5
  642. But it got you to comment on the video, so we achieved our goal :D
    5
  643. Yes. That's on purpose. The colour scheme is the same as the one used in the ww2 flag of Germany
    5
  644. no, it was released to the alpha and beta testers first.
    5
  645. Yes. But I haven't decided which one yet. I am planning to cover some more shorter topics before I dive into a long series like this again.
    5
  646. :* I love you too.
    5
  647. You're conflating communism with a command economy. That's why communists often don't reply to such things: you're talking about a different form of government and economics, which isn't related to communism other than that command economies like to say they are communist.
    5
  648. They did exist be but we're uncommon.
    5
  649.  @velucadhirim6725  We care because they were very important for the creation of the Mexican state.
    5
  650. It was occupied
    5
  651. yes. I am already working on it.
    5
  652. Yes. that's why it's often called "the D-Day invasion" or "Allied invasion of Sicily".
    5
  653. Trickle Down Economics doesn't work. There is not a single country that has ever gotten wealthy using it... At least, not for the majority of people in those countries.
    5
  654. That's a civil war, not a regular, though. The and similar organisations don't seem to help to prevent civil wars.
    5
  655. Nahh, I don't feel shame :D
    5
  656. If they get deleted you wouldn't be able to see them... The only comments that get removed are the racist ones, though. And YouTube is doing most of that work for me :D
    5
  657. These people were not random soldiers forced to fight in the war. They actively participated and encouraged war crimes. Most regular soldiers weren't put on trial.
    5
  658. OKAY! NOW PLEASE STOP SHOUTING AT US!
    5
  659. Because NATO has started several wars and because its member states have fought amongst each other. While economic unions universally lead to less violence.
    5
  660. Please see a psychiatrist for this. If you're this upset about a drawing somebody else made outside of your religion that doesn't affect you at all, then you need serious help.
    5
  661. Im sure you had some very lovely words in your reply... But YouTube automatically deleted it for being too offensive... Good job, buddy!
    5
  662. That joke is terrible... I love it! :D
    5
  663. Countries like Albania were colonized for centuries by the Ottomans and are doing quite poorly. While a country like Botswana had very little colonisation and are one of the best performing countries in Africa. So your theory doesn't seem to be accurate.
    5
  664. We will, at some point.
    5
  665. The person was blocked for name calling. I don't pick sides. I'm a bit too old for that.
    5
  666. I know. That's on purpose.
    5
  667. There were more trials, this is just the one for those people who put the system into place that allowed others to commit crimes.
    5
  668. That's because this video is about decolonization, not colonisation of africa
    5
  669. +Calin SA Very good point. In the last episode I will talk about the failures of the EU. I am now going to add the brain drain to the episode. Thank you for the suggestion!
    5
  670. Because the Maginot Line was also placed along the Luxembourg border.
    5
  671. Most of those things happened off ship.
    5
  672. The EU has several provisions which prevents foreigners from receiving help from the government. Therefore, making it so people can't simply receive money by just moving to these countries. Similar rules apply to the EEU members.
    5
  673. Greets back, from the Internet
    5
  674. What? :D
    5
  675. It's the standards design for HS maps: land is yellow and sea is blue.
    5
  676. He wore a belt, attached it to the ceiling, and then hung himself. From that moment onward the defendants were watched far more carefully. They weren't taken of their possessions. Goering even had access to his jewelry and expensive clothing :)
    5
  677. Why those countries weren't included : 1. Korea wasn't a country at the time with parts of it occupied by the USSR. 2. Indonesia a colony during the war and then began a war against the Netherlands and Great Britain. 3. Taiwan was part of China (although it was Japanese for about 80 years by then) It would only become a 'different china' after the trial was over. 4. Malaysia belonged to the UK. Unlike India, it had a lot less autonomy. 5. Thailand was an ally of Japan after a short war. So they weren't that affected by it.
    5
  678. ... No I don't...
    5
  679. This video is about the breakup. Those genocides are a symptom of the breakup but not a cause. So they weren't mentioned
    5
  680. The Bi-Mechanist State salutes you back
    5
  681. Working on that!
    5
  682. Because you can tax more if you have a large poor population than a small population. Resulting in India being able to afford scientific and self defence policies.
    5
  683. Danke
    5
  684. I worked at a medical company once where all of us employees needed to go through the GDPR training. So it is in line with GDPR the way it was adopted in my country. The short answer: It's okay because it's anonymous, I won't share it with anyone, it's secured (nobody else has access to my account and you can't easily guess the password), and because I have people's permission because the question isn't mandatory to fill out. I do, however, have to delete the medical data ASAP. So I will close the survey in a few days, download the data, and delete the medical data from the online survey. I did ask for emails and if people gave me their email addresses I will keep those, but delete any data which could like it back to the other questions in their survey. Once the email addresses have served their purpose I will delete them as well. If there are any lawyers in the audience who can point out a flaw in all of this then please do so. I don't want to be breaking any laws here.
    5
  685. Has been? We're just at the halfway point! :D
    5
  686. This video talks about massacres... I never thought massacring people was "politically correct"... Has the definition changed recently?
    5
  687. Also, I could use help sharing this video with others ;)
    5
  688. About 6 months :)
    5
  689. The only benefits tarrifs have is that it allows domestic markets to develop sufficiently to compete with other developed markets of the same industry. As for modern tarrifs used by the USA: they are entirely ineffective. Companies will simply finish product to 90% completion in the own country, finish the product in another country, and thereby completely circumvent tarrifs... This is why tarrifs on specific countries, in addition to universal tarrifs, also never work.
    5
  690. It was a joke.
    5
  691. When all you've ever known is authoritarianism, then it's no wonder you resort to authoritarianism
    5
  692. Got it. The iron curtain didn't exist.
    5
  693. Poor people are far far far less likely to publish a book than rich people. Hence: making people richer means more books get published. Hence a large number of books from the UK are published because people became richer because of EU funding. I've got the degrees in economics. I know what I'm talking about.
    5
  694. From 'Fire & Blood'
    5
  695. It's a joke.
    4
  696. You're welcome! :) next one, about how the EU works, will be up today! (If my internet allows it)
    4
  697. No. Poverty makes a country poor.
    4
  698. I delete the bad comments and YouTube automatically deletes the REALLY bad comments... But so far it's pretty good. The soviet video gets a lot more negative comments than this one tbh.
    4
  699. Please stop warmongering on my comment section
    4
  700. Nice.
    4
  701. We made a video about the Ottoman Empire where we went into detail about it, if you're curious.
    4
  702. I am going to do 4 episodes on the Berlin Wall, to complete this story. I will clearly state that the purpose of the wall was to keep people in. I just rewatched my video and it appears I wasn't quite clear enough. Thank you for pointing this out to me! :)
    4
  703. And the Suez Canal. I had planned a lot more for Egypt but the script became too long :'(
    4
  704. That was stated in the video already.
    4
  705. This discussion forgets that people are rather impressionable and illogical. People have been convinced to do a wide variety of actions that, under normal circumstances, they wouldn't. From mass suicide to the holocaust. Because some people managed to put people in situations where such behaviour was 'normal' through their use of speech. Now YOU might be that special 1 in a million who is magically immune to such indoctrination... But most humans are not. Humans are flawed. Hence we need to create a system where such flaws aren't exploited.
    4
  706. While it is an interesting argument, I decided against it because it wasn't part of the German Empire when Germany was united in 1871. It was also part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, meaning is history isn't as interwoven with Germany pre-1938.. Hence, I did not deem it important enough as it was only part of Germany for a mere 7 years.
    4
  707. Well, my parents are European and boomers :D
    4
  708. Deportation to concentration camps didn't keep people alive very well
    4
  709. That's a very good point. They often show up as footnotes in the research and don't make it into the final cut. But yeah, they're suffering to this day.
    4
  710. See pinned comment for response. This has already been covered ffs
    4
  711. Well... That was some of the most racist and sexist nonsense I've read for a while. Wesley's account has been blocked from my channel.
    4
  712. These people have always been very interesting. They developed completely separately from Afro-Eurasia. In some ways they are very similar with a sungod and a whole pantheon. They even developed currency and astronomy. This shows that human development takes a very similar path. Religion, for example, isn't a popular one-off thing, it happens everywhere. They had emperors and nobles and slaves and even a Caste system. And yet they are so different. They developed mass genocide and never developed ships. They knew nothing of sailing and made no use of the wheel. They never even discovered bronze dispite a nearby kingdom using bronze, completely overlooking a useful resource. And they never developed such a love for gold, barely understanding why the Spanish asked them about gold. This is very interesting and makes them such an amazing topic to cover
    4
  713. The countries you mention either have a majority ethnic group or have serious issues. In the USA many native Americans don't even have access to electricity and African Americans are marginalised to such an extent that they start a major riot because of it every couple of years. Another good example is Belgium which has just 3 major ethnic groups and holds 2 records for not having a government the longest. Multicultural societies can work, however, you need to be able to agree on important issues. Which many people in Africa can't because they have different needs.
    4
  714. The USA has doesn't have a problem repaying debt due the large economy it can rely on. Greece is in debt mostly to the imf and fellow EU countries with a a vested interest in a financially healthy Greece. Thus it can borrow more. Most countries don't have high debt, though.
    4
  715. Damn, all those history books and sources must all be wrong then. Thanks
    4
  716. I don't drink a lot. I usually go months between drinks. I prefer weed over alcohol and the two go very poorly together, so i don't partake very often.
    4
  717. They ate generic tanks. Not based on any real-life tanks
    4
  718. Anything for you, Sushi :D
    4
  719. Then you completely misunderstood the point. This isn't a comparison of who was worse but a factual summation of how people's lives changed for good and bad... If you want to attribute 'good' and 'bad' to it then go ahead... But I haven't done that in this video. People are smart enough to make up their own mind than me telling them what they should think.
    4
  720. I already did. It's the internationally agreed map. So it doesn't include territories controlled by other countries, just as Taiwan isn't part of China or Crimea isn't part of Ukraine in History Scope maps: they don't control the territory.
    4
  721. Makes 1 video to announce a server... I know people like you would show up:D
    4
  722. Then don't watch the video if you're of that opinion. You clicked on it ffs.
    4
  723. Such as?
    4
  724. I was watching a video about a TV show and saw this guy had left a comment there... I'm curious whether this give is just everywhere or whether they're are just a bunch of people with that user name and pfp.
    4
  725. Ah yes, its leftist to not go into detail about something everybody already knows... I love comments like these :D
    4
  726. No. Autism isn't something you sometimes have.
    4
  727. We have a video about the Breakup of Yugoslavia. And later this year we have one on Yugoslav Socialism.

  728. It's an estimate. We think about 100 billion homo sapiens have existed throughout history. About 50 billion we think died of malaria. Considering that early humans spent hundreds of thousands of years in Africa before migrating to the rest of the world, it's more than likely. Also keep in mind that Africa goes through a 10.000 year cycle where it gets super wet and the jungle stretches all the way from Central Africa to the Sahara, Ethiopia, and even parts of Arabia. And then it dries up for about 10.000 years and we get the world we see today with giant deserts in the Sahara and the Middle East. This meant that during the wet period malaria could infect people living in a lot more places than today.

  729. Such a course of action has already had major negative effects on the British economy. Greece is far less resilient and would most likely suffer from an even worse recession than the one it just got out of. An economy focused on trade and tourism would collapse when the country decides to leave an organisation facilitating trade and free movement. This is why the UK is currently having major issues with this and it is a developed country with a robust economy and yet its facing issues from terrorism to renewed independence movements. Imagine the effects on a much weaker economy...

  730. That's in the video

  731. Korea has lots of natural resources. The with has feels land while the North has minerals. I made a while video about them if you want more details
    4
  732. I had to make a compromise betwenn socialist, communist, Marxist, and leninist. So I called them communist and made clear that even its leaders didn't think it was a proper communist system. I didn't want to confuse people by making them think they were all the same :(
    4
  733.  @parrismd  When I do a video on why Africa is so poor, I will cover probably cover most of the 2nd millennium to show that Africa has been losing power for 100s of years.
    4
  734. I mean... Yeah.
    4
  735. My apologies. I put it in the description... I KNEW I forgot something. It's here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731#Activities

  736.  @zachgravatt5571  Google will give you websites showing rather unpleasant images... I recommend not googling it unless you are already desensitised to seeing mangled corpses
    4
  737. Slavery has many different forms... Chattel slavery wasn't the only kind. Afterall, some of the most powerful people in the world have been slaves. Hence why i had to talk about it to show why slavery became an economic deficit during the transatlantic suave trade.
    4
  738. no. because then who I am gets destroyed and I like who I am.
    4
  739. You're right. It isn't fair. The other regions should have fought corruption to thrive as much as Slovenia... But unfortunately they didn't do that. Slovenians were lucky that their leaders invested in the right industries, while the poor regions invested in prestige projects which didn't have a good ROI
    4
  740. No, I am the one blocking them... For obvious reasons. Who's a good boy? Who can't post racist comments? Very good boy.
    4
  741. No :)
    4
  742. Then you didn't watch the whole video...
    4
  743. Except I didn't do any of that... Did you even rewatch the video? :D
    4
  744. In 1936 the communists tried starting a revolution. It's not about whether or not they succeeded, but about the chances of one starting.
    4
  745. Procrastination has saved you once again.
    4
  746. So I have been a YouTuber for about 4 years now... Never mentioned North Korea... But somehow I've been some sleeper agent waiting to make propaganda?
    4
  747. Also: I got a lot of my information from those defectors...
    4
  748. Yeah... some other people pointed it out too. It was meant to be a windmill with the blades made of grass. Seeing as windmills and farming go hand-in-hand. I hope based on my previous videos that this was a mistake and not intentional.
    4
  749. There isn't a single reputable source corroborating that claim. So no, I didn't miss it. I chose not to include rumours
    4
  750. The flag is under copyright and apparently the UN regularly sends lawyers to maintain their copyright. I'm not a lawyer and don't want to have to take this video down at some later point, so I gave commentary to make it as free use as I can. And yes, current copyright laws are freaking weird.
    4
  751. If Africa wasn't poor, it wouldn't have so little money to spend on basic needs. And selling resources doesn't mean you're not poor
    4
  752. Now everybody is happy
    4
  753. The reason none of this is in the video is because this video only seeks to answer why the Nordic countries became rich. The person who did the research included everything in the research materials you've just pointed out. I did not put it in the script because this context wouldn't answer why the Nordic countries are rich, but would instead explain Nordic countries' geopolitical stance. History Scope videos try to stay on topic as much as possible.
    4
  754. Here it's 9:48. I hope you enjoy the video and dream sweet economical dreams. I know I did last night! :)
    4
  755. No. I based it on sources. I was never taught any of this.
    4
  756. There are many different versions of socialism. But Slovenia definitely was one of them. While there is overlap with capitalist systems, the defining feature of socialism is that workers own the businesses. In the ussr thiseant through the government, but many socialists instead argued that workers should own the business they work at. Such as in Slovenia
    4
  757. That would require more work. I would rather make the video all at once than spend more time splitting it up
    4
  758. Probably not. I've been very euro-centric lately and want to avoid it for a few videos.
    4
  759. When did liberalism lead the world to disasters? How does more freedom to more people result in these crashes you speak of?
    4
  760. No. It's because there was an army between them and anyone trying to arrest them.
    4
  761. Probably yes
    4
  762. So it's okay to deport to a camp but not to kill people in them? That is a very odd sense of morality, imo?
    4
  763. Yes. I am not Korea. I am human.
    4
  764. Well said, mr Avery... Nice name btw
    4
  765. By that logic Mongolia, vladivostok, and Taiwan should be part of China on maps... But we don't do that because China doesn't actually control those territories anymore
    4
  766. The UK is the one constantly asking for extensions... They can leave and go back to WHO standards at any time. Not the EU's fault that the UK interconnected with that of the rest of the EU and will face political and economic issues because of it. Nobody is forcing the UK to do any of this
    4
  767. It's irrelevant to the subject at hand and not that impressive seeing as dozens of countries have done the same. Leapfrogging technology isn't that special anymore.
    4
  768. Hence why I'm referring to the wall between the two germanies as well. Not only the Berlin wall
    4
  769. I don't?
    4
  770. You can have various forms of socialism. "seizing the means of production" doesn't mean giving it to the government, but giving to the people. But this is what Soviet-style socialism looks like. You can also have something more akin to the nordic model which works extremely well.
    4
  771. China is being categorised as state capitalist. This is a mixed economy where parts of it are privately owned and parts controlled by the government, while the privately owned part is heavily influenced by the government. The difference is that the government didn't tell them directly how to run their businesses but do tell them in which direction companies should move (e.g. Heavy censorship, invest in Chinese allies, etc.)
    4
  772. Yep. I'm planning 4 more videos! The last three in particular will be very good, I think
    4
  773. If that's the reason then Europe and North America wouldn't have gotten wealthy while being highly religious.
    4
  774. I found some really good ones from Asia in the 1930s. It's fascinating to see the footage... unfortunately the voice overs were extremely racist (calling all Asians 'simple' for example) so I didn't share the in the descriptions. You can find them yourself by looking up "asia 1930s". Once you find one video your recommendations will likely fill with several others.
    4
  775. It's a reference to the "gay free zones", where the Polish government actively discriminates against lgbt people for no reason.
    4
  776. No.
    4
  777. Sweden, Finland, and Denmark have little to no oil.
    4
  778. SOLDIERS! TO BATLLE!!!
    4
  779. But in all seriousness: that's just my voice.
    4
  780. You didn't watch the video, did you?
    4
  781. wait... they weren't called that? ALL the sources I found on them called them Tlaxcala. Do you have a source for their name? I won't be able to pronounce it properly because I don't speak Nahuatl, but i'd at least try.
    4
  782. There is no view of Korea. This is a history video.
    4
  783. Two more videos are coming!
    4
  784. Would a monarchy really have made things better?

  785. source: The History of Amputation: Dr. Robert Liston – Anatomy, Dexterity, and Amputations
    4
  786. That's a good point, but that still leaves the question of why nobody had bothered with that. China was the most important market in the world. Cutting travel time would have made them a large profit. but it also doesn't explain why nobody else in the Americas didn't bother much with it either. Mexico, for example, did trade with Asia through the Philippines (before independence they were under the same administration and had close trade links). It would have been very profitable for them as well. But they still preferred trading via Africa than via the Atlantic most of the time.

  787. I'm not leftist... Wtf are you talking about!? :D
    4
  788. Quran 4:34 clearly says you can beat women. I did my research.

  789. Those aren't nations. Those are colonies.

  790. The two systems are very different, however. Parliament is designed to assure that no country is able to dominate the others while still being as representative as possible. It also doesn't vote for a president via a separate system (e.g. The electoral collage), as the leader of Parliament is voted in by a majority of MEPs. Because there are several parties out therefore requires compromises between the parties creating a far less hostile political system. Comparing the EP with HOR shows the two are wildly different.
    4
  791. will do! I had some technical difficulties in the last few months but now that's that resolved, a video per week!
    4
  792. Autistic people are more empathic on average, not less.
    4
  793. It's a scientific fact, it has nothing to do with gatekeeping. Please stop making weird assumptions about me.
    4
  794. they were not "their own people", they were foreigners. The idea of some common group based on continent didn't exist at that time in that region. To those people, the slaves were foreigners. It's as silly as to say that people from Vladivostok and Mecca are the same people because they both live on the same continent. Just as we don't consider Canadians and Argentinians as "their own people".
    4
  795. We already have a video on Italian Unification
    4
  796. They're is a lot of evidence to suggest China's economy is a lot smaller than they claim it is. Plus, they have private ownership. So they are closer to a hybrid system.
    4
  797. afaik, the whole world looks up to the nordic countries (except maybe switzerland). You can't get more recognition than that.
    4
  798. But then what about GDP per capita? It is also increasing. If, as you say, getting more people in your country increases your economy. Then how come that even per person people in the Netherlands are producing more value than in Japan?
    4
  799. If that's what you took away from this video then you didn't pay attention :/
    4
  800. Yes. I have one sitting on my desk right now
    4
  801. Because Congo and Angola had the easiest trade routes to the slave markets. And the Bantu surrounded them.
    4
  802. Common people profit from it the most, though. The increase in trade creates more higher paying jobs for all.
    4
  803. Costa Rica no. Bangladesh maybe.
    4
  804. Sorry for late reply. Yeah, that's an error I thought I fixed but I didn't. I'm going to fix that when I put all 6 videos together in 1
    4
  805. Got it. Taking people from their homes, stealing all their possessions, and putting them in death camps is perfectly reasonable behaviour. Thank you for clearing that up.
    4
  806. +Calin SA Also the threats from outside will be discussed as well: migration crisis and how Slovakia and Hungary think differently than Germany, external threats such as Russia and Trump (although these are too recent to give a proper account on), how young people are leaving the poorest EU countries, the difference in thinking between Northern Europe and Southern Europe concerning the economic crisis. So far it's mostly good stuff, the next episodes is going to cover the bad stuff :)
    4
  807. He did it to get support. I skipped over it but Cortez had a massive political struggle to be given the governorship of the Aztec Empire. So he wrote a lot of outlandish things about the Aztec to get himself appointed by the Spanish King to rule over the Aztecs.
    4
  808. I did read about. I also studied economics and know that that simply isn't the case. High population growth is almost always accompanied by poverty. The ageing population thing isn't happening in much of Africa yet and it certainly wasn't happening under colonisation.
    4
  809. China's strategy is sinosisation. Africa is too far away for that. And so China doesn't want political control over a region when you can simply buy those resources. And buying a resource is almost always cheaper than going to war for them.

  810. Thank you! :) I use Adobe Animate for the Animation, Voicemeeter and Audacity for recording and voice editing, and Adobe Premiere for putting the right frames at the right time.

  811. Man... I WISH trillions was being spent to combat climate change...
    4
  812. In a time with thousands of gods and their preachers, a new one wouldn't be all that exciting. Do keep in mind that all of this took place over the course of only 10 years in a desert in the 7th century. Even if you could find someone who could read and write, why would they follow around one guy who at the time didn't stand out so much?
    4
  813. You can colonize a territory with any ethnicity you want. the British colonial model is not the only one. There are a lot of them
    4
  814. I try to delete the racism but... It's just so much... :(
    4
  815. yes.
    4
  816. That is a mistake I didn't spot :o
    4
  817. My first 'notification squad' comment! <3
    4
  818. I didn't say anything of the sort, though...
    4
  819. All tomatoes are bland, though. So that doesn't make much of a difference :D
    4
  820. Comrade* :D
    4
  821. When the second world war started is a hotly debated topic. I chose the invasion of Poland because it was the first battle in Europe in a string of battles. Many consider the invasion of Korea or China by the Japan an even better starting point... Hence why I said "in Europe", you missed that part in my quote. :)
    4
  822. How so? I covered positive and negative aspects of the EU.
    4
  823. Hi. You seem to think the EU is a giant bureaucracy that's costing a lot of money that could be solved by simply having treaties: 1. Free trade is a treaty between all EU countries (not sure how you got a different idea on that) 2. The EU only spends less than 5% of its budget on bureaucracy. That far less than a medium-sized city or municipality does. Its far more cheaper to run the eu, for example, than it is to run the city in currently in. You already have what you want :)
    4
  824. I was researching the topic in the library a few weeks ago. While doing so I decided to watch that video... About 1 minute into that video I became acutely aware that I was in a public library with children and elderly who might have lived through the war. While I am quite certain nobody saw the imagery, I didn't think it would be okay if people accidentally saw that, especially children who might research the topic on YouTube. I was very careful to omit any graphic imagery :)
    4
  825. The sentence right after explains why I did that, though
    4
  826. More of those coming soon.
    4
  827. I literally have an entire video on African decolonisation. What are you talking about!?
    4
  828. Every year since I was born has been warmer than my birthyear :( Likely for him it will be the same.
    4
  829. No. That's not gay. Give my 5 minutes of your time and I'll show you what's actually gay ;*
    4
  830. Because they already lost their African colonies
    4
  831. All those things existed far far far before France came into existence, though.
    4
  832. Good point. Africa deserved to be mentioned more in this video
    4
  833. While I wouldn't put it in those words, I do strongly believe that many western nations don't take pragmatic decisions at the moment. While the USA is particularly bad right now (e.g. Stop funding agencies meant to fight climate change or pandemics), this has been the case in many countries for a looooooong time. One example is the war on drugs, which doesn't provide tangible results. I think that in a few decades the world will be split in a cold war with Western democracies (led by the USA) vs authoritarian regimes (led by China). Except this time its China who makes the rational decisions and the west basing its decisions on 'communism bad', anti-vaxxer nonsense, and various other slogans which aren't supported by any scientific evidence. ... I thought about that a lot while wiring and animating that exact part you point out :)
    4
  834. It doesn't. Nobody in this video is given any fault for anything. Only why certain decisions were made and how it affected history.
    4
  835. Finally someone noticed!!! You are awesome!
    4
  836. Yes. I am AI. BEEP BOOP
    4
  837. lowlz13 Then you will also like my new video on how your polder was constructed :)
    4
  838. I don't think you have the stamina for that task.
    4
  839.  @superyamky  thanks, i've deleted it.

  840. That's one of the symbols used to represent autism.
    4
  841. I haven't uploaded in the last few months. But I'm back at it though. I have two videos ready for upload, for the next two Saturdays and currently working on completely new videos which will have the same art style as this video and the History of Amputations videos. Also, I don't know how to please the YouTube algorithm yet :(
    4
  842. Under GDPR History Scope is not allowed to divulge the personal information of any person working on this video.
    4
  843. I cut about 2 pages worth of content. This was part of those 2 pages as they weren't that relevant Imo.
    4
  844. Sure... Do you have any details so I can make a post about the mistakes in this video, or do you just want to tell somebody that they're wrong?
    4
  845. Yes.
    4
  846. As a fellow brat, I thank you for your kind words
    4
  847. I'm sorry I'm so slow :(
    4
  848. Thank you. I felt very smart for thinking of that one :D
    4
  849. Google it yourself, you lazy bastard! :D
    4
  850. So far so good! I am watching the comment section closely to make sure it stays civil. YouTube luckily has the option to block comments containing certain phrases... I am hoping it won't come to that but I will not have the comment section be turned into a platform of hate! :)
    4
  851. I know what you mean: this shit is good
    4
  852. OKAY THANK YOU. WHY ARE WE SHOUTING!?
    4
  853. 1. Being taken from your family and forced to work as a soldier is slavery. I think my audience was smart enough to realize that. 2. This video talks more about the larger processes rather than specific events. hence no mention of specific events such as the famines or massacres 3. the genocides weren't really mentioned because they were a result of their own incompetence at ruling an empire, rather than a cause for why the empire broke apart. This video mainly deals with the decline of the Ottomans and the various genocides wouldn't have stopped the larger trends such as a lack of industrialisation and European drive for ever more colonisation.
    4
  854. This video isn't about the west
    4
  855. Thank you, send my regards to The Great Leader

  859. You can't commit treason if you were never on their side... It's an odd thing to learn in his classes as they weren't the aggressors... Even the most lazy examination of the Aztecs should reveal that the Aztecs were almost always the aggressors
    3
  860. Values are created by one circumstances. Hence why those circumstances were mentioned and how they led to the current wealth of the region
    3
  861. You are right, for this time period we should have said "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland". However, we try to keep such terminology as short as possible. Hence we simply used "Great Britain", assuming people are aware that it's a common misnomer for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland... when Ireland was occupied territory.

  862. I have removed him from the channel. He can still comment but nobody can see his comments anymore, except himself...
    3
  863.  @KZ-xt4hl  History Scope moderators don't have to do that much work, just keep and eye out if they see something that goes hard against the rules. Only one person actually does 'work' in the DC server. as for the abusive and not safe content, we have luckily found a way to filter them through a screening process. We've had one person so far who filled the category of "abusive or not safe" and I took care of that personally and they were banned from all History Scope media. They can't even comment on these videos anymore, for example.
    3
  864. I've removed the racist from my comment section.

  865. 250 euro for groceries per month. The computer is just over 3000 euro. My diet doesn't contain a lot of processed foods, I like to eat a lot of rice, peas, eggs, cheese, potato etc. Which are quite cheap.
    3
  866. Are the annotations no longer showing?
    3
  867. I see, that is extremely messy of me to forget. I will update them tomorrow. Thank you for letting me know. I did put all the videos in a playlist if you want to see the rest. The playlist can be found on my channel page. It's called 'European Union' :)
    3
  868. Fuck off with your racism. Everyone does this ffs. Mali want particularly peaceful, the ottomans took whatever they wanted, Japan had its own colonies, and the Aztecs fought so much they destroyed themselves. Stop being racist. We're all human. We're all exactly the same.
    3
  869. If your water has cholera, it's polluted.

  870. Japan was also put on trial by China, India, Australia, New Zealand, The Philippines, and the Netherlands :)
    3
  871. What you describe is the case for every country. Here too you can buy stuff you can't get anywhere else. But that didn't make you rich in an economic sense. For that you need to look at how many of those things a person is able to acquire in a year (gdp or ppp per capita)
    3
  872. No, it's not fitting for History Scope
    3
  873. It's not, though.
    3
  874. It means that they had most of the same rights as non-slaves
    3
  875. OK BUT WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?!
    3
  876. I did include that with "cult of personality. But I didn't give many details because it's commonly known. I decided to focus on things which most people probably didn't know
    3
  877. I was actually listening to Wind Rose's cover of 'Diggy Diggy Hole' while making this video :D
    3
  878. Damn, now I want to be an imperialist.
    3
  879. And as usual: no evidence is presented
    3
  880. Then I explained it wrong. I meant that they tried. But that they actually succeeded.
    3
  881. I generally don't think the decolonisation videos are our best, yet they are one of the most popular videos on the channel.
    3
  882. You're correct. AFAIK, British colonisation reduced the amount of educated people significantly. The strategy was generally to make self governance as hard as possible by 'removing' skills from the population
    3
  883. YouTube deleted it. Not me.
    3
  884. I don't care about hurting other people. I spent months making this to educate, not to hurt people. I've got better things to do with my life than to make other people unhappy... Such as working on my next video
    3
  885. Dude... This video's main sieve is that book. Most of the info came from that book...
    3
  886. A saw. We still use a saw in modern amputations.
    3
  887. Both mean the same thing.
    3
  888. Because I messed it up and didn't realise it until you pointed it out and I am now banging my head against my desk :'(
    3
  889. We will. This has become a series. The middle East is already on the list

  890. Rockets don't destroy the ozone layer. CFCs do. And yes, the hole is already getting smaller
    3
  891. Adobe Animate
    3
  892. Yes. This is all part of my secret evil plan to take over the world... Through YouTube videos... Because logic!
    3
  893. We already have that video.
    3
  894. A boomer is someone born in specific years, not specific countries :)
    3
  895. It was already independent before then.
    3
  896. No. What the hell are you talking about? Colonialism was a form of world economy. Goods were transported all across the world. I mention this very clearly in the first minutes of the video. Stop saying things which are clearly untrue
    3
  897. That was on purpose :)
    3
  898. Not as stupid as the guy who doesn't realise Roosevelt was at the Yalta Conference before the end of the war :D
    3
  899. China. We're researching it right now. It should be finished on May 1st. But we only upload 1 video per month so at the very very latest it will be out on July 1st 2024.
    3
  900. We will do more of these videos in the future. We're currently planning to have 1/3 fo all videos be about why a region is rich or poor.
    3
  901. Next year, probably. While high, of course.
    3
  902. "If Rostov-on-Don becomes Rostov-Undone" xD I am impressed by how fast you got this video out as well as the jokes in this video.

  903. I am considering doing various economic concepts and government structures. What they mean and how they evolved. But that's still at least 6 months off
    3
  904. By that logic, counties with Christian majorities wouldn't have become rich either, as its all about piety and not living too lavishly.
    3
  905. Thank you. I found it. I might use it as a template for when I draw someone with dyed hair
    3
  906. I actually researched whether there were fewer expeditions or sobering along those lines, but I couldn't find anything :(
    3
  907. The Mamluks still held power up until the 19th century, however. That's what this is in reference to. Not their independent rule of Egypt.
    3
  908. It's because this is a history video and China's investments in Africa are too recent and too insignificant for a historical video.
    3
  909. Dutch
    3
  910. Of course!
    3
  911. I hope so! :)
    3
  912. I think it's more shhhh instead of sssss
    3
  913. So India wasn't colonised?
    3
  914. I've changed it in my recent videos. When I first started I never even thought I'd get more than a 1000 views on any of my videos... But now that they get a lot more I've changed the art style :)
    3
  915. You are correct. The reason I put that in there is because they had already signed treaties with the British and such treaties were almost always the start of the colonisation process: you come as friends, sign treaties, gain influence, and take over. This process was extremely common so I added them to the list.
    3
  916. But at least I know how to spell 'honour' :D
    3
  917. At no point is blame put anywhere in this video. Only cause and effect.
    3
  918. That would only account for the 3 European countries with nuclear weapons... It doesn't explain why the others didn't fight wars after joining an economic zone. It also doesn't explain why every other region in the world stops fighting wars after starting economically interconnecting themselves with their regional neighbours. Hence that theory is nonsense.
    3
  919. 1. Not picking on Africa 2. This video topic was chosen by my viewers 3. Other regions in the world will be covered in the future
    3
  920. Nice pfp :D
    3
  921. By choosing a different national religion within the Christian faith.
    3
  922. Source of such a ruling?
    3
  923. I cannot even find anything about them other than a small business in the USA founded in the early 2000s... So no, the Bradenburg are not in here
    3
  924. I love how some people think I put all the blame on Europeans, others say I put all the blame on Africans, some say I don't put blame anywhere...
    3
  925. This comment is soo misleading!!!
    3
  926. This is the direct map: it doesn't show parts controlled by other countries. There is no more perfect map
    3
  927. They did get a trial. My next video will be about the Tokyo Trial.
    3
  928. It's mostly indebted to itself. Meaning it's not that much of a burden as the wealth stays within Japan
    3
  929. Why?
    3
  930. ... Not really. AD hasn't been in use for that long. Most words change over time... You do know that right?
    3
  931.  @comradeofthebalance3147  see my previous comment, please :)
    3
  932. If you mean the Muhammad series, it's because this channel also serves as a portfolio and I'm currently still looking for a job... And seeing as there is such a large taboo on the topic I decided to unlist it for now. I am considering putting all the episodes into one video and re-upload it that as a single video so my subscribers aren't getting 6 videos all at once that they already saw :)
    3
  933. Because when Europeans conquered land they didn't take those people away. As a result, industry was destroyed in the process. And keep in mind that Europeans got most of their tech from the middle East when it was united, India, or China. Which were more stable than Europe most of the time.
    3
  934. Because people with machines can porridge more than people without machines
    3
  935. This is about the fall of the soviet Union, not about the brutality of the nation.
    3
  936. I delete racist comments.
    3
  937. I'm also Aztec, because I made a video about the Aztecs :D
    3
  938. See my sources in the description
    3
  939. That was the original plan for this video but I was afraid it would get demonitised. Probably next year's April 1st video.
    3
  940. Yes :) Thank you for pointing it out
    3
  941. You're actually second
    3
  942. Time to watch Monty Python tonight, for me. Now I HAVE to watch it!
    3
  943.  @tyr3759  I know it gets more engagement because avid beer drinkers have told me before how bad I pour beer. so now I purposefully made it bad. Practice is easy: every time you pour a beer do it as bad as possible. As for the racists: I have no idea if that actually worked or not.
    3
  944.  @bartleyhoran9833  Glad my video helped! <3 And thank you for the help :D
    3
  945. Nope. That comes after the events described in this video
    3
  946. Well, this went downhill fast...
    3
  947. See pinned comment

  948. Everybody was poor before industrialisation. To say Africa was the only region that somehow didn't have shortage of basic goods such as food, is incredibly naive.
    3
  949.  @AlexandervonGoldstein  You are right, it should be mentioned. This video is going to be part of a series with 4 more videos I am planning to make about the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain. I will elaborate in more detail what happened to the people living behind the Iron Curtain, including the fate of these people. Thank you (and all the others) for pointing it out! :)
    3
  950. Then other countries with small populations and large amount of resources would also be rich, but many of them are not. It's more complicated than that
    3
  951. "I hate Italian so much" not Italians, I love Italians. I will make a pinned post to make it clear! :D
    3
  952. That's simply incorrect. Most of African had kingdoms and empires ruling over it
    3
  953. If it's wrong to ban people for being mean to other people, then when isn't it wrong to ban people?
    3
  954. Yeah probably but we're first working on the slavery where their empire plays an important role. I don't want to start another video covering a similar part of history
    3
  955. Don't spoil the next episode! :D
    3
  956. Me: makes a joke about you not paying attention Jason: starts being mean for no reason We do have a sensitive person in this chat but it's definitely not me... :D (again: this is a joke)
    3
  957. Whether or not people believe something is true or not is not relevant for HS maps. We do effective control, not whatever that local government believes is under their control You're also not complaining about Taiwan being indepent or Crimea being part of Russia in my maps...
    3
  958. I didn't mean the Soviet Union was sexist, but western researchers. They referenced soviet researchers elsewhere, they all 3 published in the same language and same scientific journals, and they were publishing around the same time. I find it incredibly difficult to believe they somehow overlooked her work but not everybody else's.
    3
  959. They already did. Their predictions of the spread of the virus are, in part, based on this... If only the governments had listened to the WHO :(
    3
  960. A Star Trek profile picture and a nice comment. Perfection!
    3
  961. That myth was likely written by a Spanish clergyman who wasn't particularly unbiased. The only sources for that event are Spanish sources.
    3
  962. I don't give opinions in my videos
    3
  963. Turkey hadn't been peaceful, though...
    3
  964. Hence why I added "in Europe" :)
    3
  965. The Japanese National Anthem
    3
  966. Well, the Austro-Hungarians also failed getting into Italy (iirc). So it sort of worked! :D

  968. Human are born with clothes on? What!?
    3
  969. Source?
    3
  970. People are having corona parties, religious institutions are holding mass despite the dangers... This isn't some hypothetical. It is happening right now.
    3
  971. Fixed it. There are now subtitles.
    3
  972.  @jacksondavis7602  The last Mayan city state, Nojpetén, was conquered in 1697. also: the Mayans were never a single empire. They are a people.
    3
  973. We've fixed the audio since then :)
    3
  974. And why did they believe that? Because other people, whom they thought were trustworthy told them so. And why did those people believe that? Because of the rating agencies.
    3
  975. I'm pretty sure North Koreans can build a fire and put meat atop it. It isn't that hard tbh. As for North Korea being a toilet... How do you explain a missile program, dams, etc?
    3
  976. At no point do I say such a thing in my video, though. It was weak due to having a lower production in total and per capita, while also being very wasteful... Not because trade was low...
    3
  977. Interestingly enough, I wrote (not edited) this entire script while high :D
    3
  978. Except for all the times the treaties were changed :D
    3
  979. You are correct there, however, these regions were largely in Europe. In East Asia, they essentially assimilated the people by moving a lot of Russians over there. they intermingled and created a mixture of cultures and ethnicities. Seeing as these regions didn't have a lot of people, this was far easier to do than in Europe, I think. but I might be wrong on that one.
    3
  980. The ppp per capita statistics and high rate of starvation both show Africa is quite poor, no matter how tired we get about hearing it
    3
  981. Necrophilia is illegal, dear
    3
  982. I am actually watching it now and I am cringing at certain points due to the low quality :D
    3
  983. Then you didn't pay attention... It's all in the video
    3
  984. Sources?
    3
  985. Because resources are low value goods.
    3
  986. Maybe.
    3
  987. I don't mention the invasion in more detail because this video is about the breakup of the ussr, not ww2. As for being propaganda... I wish I was paid to make these videos, but I haven't received any checks from any government yet :D
    3
  988. They have a similar population as China, which is many times wealthier than India. If what you say is true about the population, China wouldn't have ended the poverty of hundreds of millions of people within their own border :)
    3
  989. Maybe
    3
  990. The things depicted in them were so propagandist that when the nazi party thought it went too far. This wasn't a "news"paper... It was a propaganda machine with the aim of inciting violence against Jewish people and other 'undesirables'
    3
  991. But east Asia hasn't been a rich country for about a century.
    3
  992. It's not controlled by India though
    3
  993. Not according to China... But even if they were occupied territories, that doesn't make them party of China. Just like crimea isn't part of Ukraine anymore
    3
  994. That's just a small part of it
    3
  995. Entaro Adun!
    3
  996. If the UK believes the EU is authoritarian, it should have used its veto power for those policies. That's why the EU has the veto power: so the EU could never enforce anything to any country without that country's consent. And please don't use the ancestor argument. We don't thabk or blame people for what their ancestors did... Otherwise everybody would have a lot of crimes to pay for :D
    3
  997. I based the clothing on traditional African clothing.
    3
  998. When the life of a human is worth less than a piece of a plant :'(
    3
  999. Maybe. First I want to finish this decolonisation series. At the end I will put all the videos together into one giant video. If that is popular enough I will make a neo-colonialism video, maybe a general video of 'what happened to the colonies after decolonisation' or something like that.
    3
  1000. That building turned out to be full of surveillance equipment. China literally gave them a building just to spy on them.
    3
  1001. That's my girlfriend. She's from Romania. She's cute as a vampire so I drew her like that. Vampire gf is best gf.
    3
  1002. Not really. Most people didn't participate in them.
    3
  1003. And 0 explanation given as to WHY this is propaganda... I love comments like yours because I've received dozens like it and yet nobody gives an explanation. Please go ahead and prove that I took the wrong sources, misinterpreted data, or otherwise messed up what really happened.
    3
  1004. Yes.
    3
  1005. No. That's the shit mass murderers are made of.
    3
  1006. Catalan nationalists would disagree with you
    3
  1007. The USA is the reason why I pointed out "healthy" capitalism in this video... Instead if the neoliberalism which has never worked particularly well.
    3
  1008. The important thing isn't that they were worth a lot, it's that they were sold for more than they were actually worth. The housing bubble had the problem that people were given a mortgage they weren't able to pay (e.g. Mortgage for a house that's 350.000 dollars when they could only afford a mortgage of 250.000 dollars). The reasoning given was that if you couldn't repay the mortgage you would simply sell your house. This sounded good because at the time the prices of houses were going up. So if you couldn't afford the 350k mortgage, for example, then people were told that that's okay because the value of a house would go up to 450k by the time you'd default on your debt. But this worked as long as the price of a house went up... But the value of a house didn't go up. A house doesn't increase in value if you don't improve the house or you get more new people than new houses... But that wasn't the case. The price went up because people wanted to buy a house and maybe cash in on the price increase. Then the banks needed the price of houses to keep increasing so they sold more mortgages. Then the value of houses went up, more mortgages were being sold, price went up, etc. Then eventually the price stopped going up and the whole system came down This isn't the whole story. Volumes can be written about the idiocy of that bubble. But this is a short summary. Hope it answers your question :)
    3
  1009. Because that's only a small part of their economy.
    3
  1010. From Russia with love - huma huma
    3
  1011. When you have literally one job and have been trained from birth to do that job... But then he can't do it while being paid 100s of millions to do that one single job then hell yeah ill criticise them.
    3
  1012. 1. I didn't say just bad things 2. This video isn't about ww2
    3
  1013. I already did. Found out millions of homes don't even have a working toilet.
    3
  1014. stay tuned, I've been out for a few months but I finally have time again to get back to making these videos. I will try to upload a new on this week, but it might slip into next week. Currently working on improving the video quality with a slightly different art style (more animations and better shadows).
    3
  1015. I try to, at least
    3
  1016. Because he suggested that very idea :)
    3
  1017. So the British looted the wealth in Belgian Congo? How? And the British didn't catch slaves in Africa. Malaria would have killed them
    3
  1018. Reference to my ussr video. It was deliberate... But I probably should have said "breakup of warsaw pact"
    3
  1019. I do mention it, however, everybody already knows about the camps while most North Koreans don't live in those camps. So I don't focus on that part.
    3
  1020. If we made maps based on claims then Ukraine is Russian, vladivostok is Chinese, and India China and Pakistan would each control Kashmir. But we don't do this because that's just silly
    3
  1021. My computer is about 3000 euro. And I spend about 250 on food. I eat a lot of rice, frozen peas, egg and cheese sandwiches, and other foods that aren't that expensive over here. I am trying to lose weight so I stick to simple foods which don't have as much added sugar and fat. But that also makes my diet a lot cheaper.
    3
  1022. Of you are referring to the recent floods, keep in mind that hundreds died in Belgium and Germany, while nobody died in the Netherlands. And the flood came from the river, while the Delta Works protect against floods coming from the sea.
    3
  1023. No, that's too complex for me to cover.
    3
  1024. Inflation is below 3%. That's healthy due an economy. Especially considering Japan was on the brink of deflation for years now.
    3
  1025. Damn, that analysis of the comment section is incredibly accurate. Personally I feel that these people don't look at their own histories enough. It took Germany 2 world wars to become democratic, Russia still hasn't achieved prosperity, Spain was a dictatorship 50 years ago. People who complain about Africans not doing anything about poverty or corruption forget that it took centuries in their own countries to get to a semi-functional state.
    3
  1026. I literally mention that at the end of my video...
    3
  1027. Probably at some point. But considering the mental strain making such a video causes, it won't be published any time soon.
    3
  1028. So someone has less than 1% of his genes and somehow that's representative? And humans aren't white. They are yellow-pink at best. So any text saying someone is white, especially 1400 years ago, is relative. Hence it can't be taken too literally.
    3
  1029. Except wars are still happening. So it's not too expensive.
    3
  1030. That awkward moment when people actually try to argue that invading other countries isn't an act of war...
    3
  1031.  @erth-d3s  I'm working on them almost every day :'(
    3
  1032. Probably not. Videos like that don't do well on YouTube
    3
  1033. It transitioned from socialism to capitalism in that year... Idk how I need to 'make up my mind' when I clearly put a dividing line between capitalism and socialism
    3
  1034. How is this propaganda? As far as I know I didn't say a single positive thing about north korea in the entire video
    3
  1035. If they are truly trying to improve then the problem wouldn't have lasted almost 1000 years. If they truly tried to improve then they would have handed over 1000s of suspects to police forces around the world. Thats how you can tell they don't care: they already have all the information but aren't sharing that with relevant organisations in a large scale.
    3
  1036. We will. It's going to be a lot shorter because I've airway covered it a bit in the ussr and ottoman breakup videos. When another video turns out to be shorter than expected we'll put time into making a European decolonisation video
    3
  1037. That the point: the sentence right after talks about how this perception is entirely false. I was making a point thta other people see it often as an unstable country... But its neither a country nor a whole unstable continent. Basically saying that simply because there is unrest and insurrections in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine that this doesn't mean that all of Europe is unstable
    3
  1038. Then how do you explain all the slaves from outside their territory?
    3
  1039. Liberia was a US colony...
    3
  1040. Various peer reviewed articles disagree on that point. Here are a few you can look at yourself: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Health+benefits+alcohol&btnG=
    3
  1041. Because nobody did: the technology didn't exist yet. Before industrialisation societies are on a very similar level of poverty across the world
    3
  1042. Before pronouncing a new word I would pause the recording, find a pronunciation from Mexican propel, and practise it until it sounded similar enough. It took about 5-10 attempts per word iirc
    3
  1043. Nearly all African nations have constitutions...
    3
  1044. Probably not, there isn't anything I can add to that.
    3
  1045. It was Stalin's idea, actually. Roosevelt initially disliked the idea but hoped Stalin would bring it up a second time, after hearing of the various atrocities.
    3
  1046. I'm glad someone got the not-so-subtle hint :D
    3
  1047. Next video will be about the Tokyo Trials, which will be similar to this one.
    3
  1048. No. That's not how that works. Just as a warm dog isn't a hotdog.
    3
  1049. You are right. I made a mistake in animating.
    3
  1050. Which is why I specifically pointed towards land-based life. The sea would be fine, except the top layer, perhaps and sea animals relying on surface life
    3
  1051. I've never made a vlog...
    3
  1052. How is it racist?
    3
  1053. As someone who studied quite a lot of economics in school (and now for the videos), it's frustrating watching them make obvious mistakes. The amount of time I think to myself 'yeah of course this didn't work, you could've asked just a 1st year economics student or 1 person working in the industry to tell you it wouldn't work' is astonishingly high. To give just one example, the Dutch government reduced spending on education in 2015 by turning all forms of student assistance from the government into a loan. Then fewer Dutch people we to college, particularly the poor. As a result the poor remained poor moreso than in the past. This decision was such a disaster they reversed it a few years ago. In order to make up for a lack of Dutch students they got more foreign students... But they didn't give more building permits. Causing the rent to spike. There are people with jobs who can't afford rent. Full-time workers can't pay for basic needs anymore. As a result homeless shelters are over burdened. Because homelessness went down for a long time they didn't invest in more homeless shelters. So now they have to sleep outside Sleeping outside is illegal. So you now have homeless people with 1000s of euro in fines for the crime of not being able to pay rent. When you don't pay fines, you get more fines. So you go from 1000s in Debt to 10.000s in debt. And guess what, even if they can afford rent again, all their money goes to the government. So they will never stop being poor because of government decisions.
    3
  1054. What does race have anything to do with anything in this video?

  1055. https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Baker-Statement-5-13-EMP.pdf
    3
  1056. 1. It's not an hour and a half 2. I don't blame anyone in my videos 3. History Scope doesn't do racism
    3
  1057. "I'm sure that THIS time it won't happen". I have studied economics and have a few degrees in it and the type of thinking you explain is one of the reasons bubbles keep existing :( I remember talking about bitcoin and saying how it is a bubble waiting to burst. Pointing out several previous bubbles and people simply didn't believe it until it crashed. There are always explanations why THIS time it's different but such reasoning only falls apart when it's too late, leading to a lot of suffering and that's just really really sad.
    3
  1058. Nobody built the planet...
    3
  1059. The Muhammad video and India videos have the most criticisism. This video's comment section is surprisingly civil. The Africa and Japan videos are filled with discrimination and critiquing that I didn't use their discriminatory arguments in the videos.
    3
  1060. By using basic morality, according to such trials. The prosecution argued that nobody should be told not to experiment on human beings, or rape them, or slaughter them, etc. This is such a universal concept that you shouldn't even need a law.
    3
  1061. I got the source from a peer-reviewed article. Which is why I said exactly the same as this op... I don't understand this comment as it just says the same as what I said in my video, except I never said anything about submission to the divine. I really don't get the point of the comment. You are basically paraphrasing me.
    3
  1062. It's not so much 'taking more time' as it is me being inefficient. I know I can do the same quality but at a faster rate. for example, a common thing in my videos is to have 3 blocks appear on the screen one-by-one (example at 0:01). these are rather easy to make as I only need to make a single drawing and choose which colours these blocks should have. I can also use the same assets in different videos (e.g. I made an Aztec house in the first video and I can reuse that in all Aztec videos) or reuse the same asset in the same video several times but make that one asset higher quality (the background at 1:28 is such an asset). Being more efficient with how I animate and allocate my time will allow me to create these videos faster :)
    3
  1063. This is what I do when the politics of the White House becomes too much for me to handle.
    3
  1064. This is one of my favourite comments I've ever received.
    3
  1065. I don't think anybody here was mad :)
    3
  1066. That was purposefully done. I mention in this bogey that I lost my job and some people might take that they should send me money because I'm doing poorly. I am going to make a video for patron specifically. Then I'll go into detail what the money will do. So I wanted to make sure that ONLY people who have money to spare will send money and only if they really want to.
    3
  1067. No.
    3
  1068. Problem solved :D
    3
  1069. Hawaii.
    3
  1070. it has massive poverty... what are you talking about?
    3
  1071. I'm giving your comment a heart so people will see it before going to those external websites. ... There might be some without graphic images, but after looking at mutilated bodies from the first 5 links, I just used the Wikipedia article. And even those testimonials are horrific. Especially because it seems almost casual. Like it was just 'another job'
    3
  1072. It's not relevant to the breakup. The empire would have fallen without it
    3
  1073. There is no evidence of that, either in their DNA, language, or anywhere in history.

  1074. Stars are created cyclically: they explode and create new stars. The first stars were created from the leftover of the big bang. As for the cause of the big bang, it is unknown. There are A LOT of theories but none that have been prudential (yet). It's even possible big bangs are created naturally as the universe expands and space itself turns into big bangs.

  1075. delicious!
    3
  1076. OK, Boomer :D
    3
  1077. 1. This is about the breakup of Yugoslavia, not the war. Only the causes why each broke up are given and how that leads to the next part breaking away. Hence why I didn't go into any details on the ethnic tensions other than that politicians exploited those tensions. 2. They were important during ww2. This video isn't about ww2. Hence no mention of the ustase 3. Good point. Should have added a sentence about that.
    3
  1078. Then Islamic counties wouldn't be so poor, if that religion was as powerful as you claim, though...
    3
  1079. Billions are sent in aid, yes. But they are bribes to extract resources from Africa. For entry dollar invested into Africa, 2-3 dollars are extracted from Africa. Extracted in such a way that Africa itself won't see the benefits of said resources. As a result, the weak nations are kept weak by design while pretending to help the people. While actual aid does exist and does work, large swafts of Africa are exploited first and foremost
    3
  1080. Great point. Unfortunately, I couldn't include everything and had to generalise the wars and rebellions a lot by saying 'Africans became more and more restless' and 'they were afraid of even more rebellions'.
    3
  1081. Yes. The pumps operate continuously. Should the pumps ever fail (e.g. Society somehow collapses) then the Netherlands will flood. :)
    3
  1082. maybe
    3
  1083. probably not
    3
  1084. You can have those while people lack access to basic necessities
    3
  1085. No. I am absolutely terrible at spelling without spellchecker
    3
  1086. It wasn't important
    3
  1087. Then you don't really understand how the EU works. But that's okay, I made a few videos about that so you can learn :)
    3
  1088. Yes. I have an app for YouTube creators which informs me of all the comments. So I go through them if I have a few minutes to kill :)
    3
  1089. Germany wasn't even invaded :D
    3
  1090. No.
    3
  1091. It all ended up in the glass. I achieved my goal. Stop beer shaming! :D
    3
  1092. Seeing as it already is a treaty, the answer is that things are the same. The organisation did far more than only trade deals. So to say that trade deals would have equal weight as an extra seat at the UN, a single voice backed by a giant economy and large amount of people, and a more efficient distribution of foreign aid (with the EU) would be incorrect. The EU army isn't going to be part of the EU. Placing armed forces outside of the command structure of those who the armed services are supposed to protect its a recipe for a long-term disaster. Hence why any serious consideration for military integration is focused on cost saving by working together (e.g. 28 different firewalls are less likely to be effective than a single one which receives the funding of all member states rather than just one), better common defence strategies (how would you get a Belgian army to the EU borders quickly), and less dependence on the USA which is currently seeing itself up as a potential geopolitical rival rather than the reliable ally or has been up to this point. The EU has no control over an army and will not demand higher spending on the military. How you got that idea is rather puzzling as none of the documents actually show any intention of doing so. This would be very counter productive if the goal is to have more integrated armies
    3
  1093. There seem to be 3 types of people: 1. People who think I skipped things. For example, southern Africa and central Africa were barely mentioned 2. People who are racist and think Africans are poor because of low IQ... These people don't seem to understand that iq is a poor indicator of intelligence. 3. People who don't like my voice or style of videos.
    3
  1094. Yes
    3
  1095. I wasn't very good at audio editing
    3
  1096. I'm not going to waste my time talking about something everybody already knows.
    3
  1097. The USA is not mainly from the dame region of europe: 12% are off African descent, about a third from Germany, about another third from Latin America, with a small portion coming from Great Britain.
    3
  1098. UK wants to leave. UK doesn't want to leave the common market. EU is ready to negotiate. UK wants things the EU doesn't want. EU therefore rejects any UK proposal. UK realises that without a deal their economy will suffer severely and that their peace agreement with Northern Ireland comes to an end. UK asks for more time to negotiate. EU agrees. UK purposes several deals. EU rejects them. UK asks for another extension. EU agrees. UK leaves the EU but without leaving the single market by agreeing to uphold the single market. EU agrees. UK makes more proposals. EU rejects them. So basically the UK wants to leave and the EU is okay with that. The UK wants a trade deal and the EU is willing to listen but is too busy to make their own proposals as the UK is too insignificant to the EU. And so the UK's proposals keep getting rejected and the EU is just wondering wtf the UK is doing.
    3
  1099. the USA has gone off the gold standard multiple times. the 70s was simple the last time they did it.
    3
  1100. That's incorrect: the less people have the more they are willing to share with others because of the "we're all in this together" mentality
    3
  1101. Nice, but please wait until after the travelban :D
    3
  1102. Sweden and Finland have a larger military than Norway, no trillions in fossil fuels, and return a lot of it to its citizenry. On top of that Norway has a massive welfare system. You're nitpicking yet ignoring the examples right next to Norway that are don't better in almost every way without the advantages Norway has. On top of everything else: none of these countries are even remotely socialist. Please read a few books or papers (some are in the description of this video) before making such strawman arguments. Please.
    3
  1103. Then how do you explain the large percentage of starving people in Africa?
    3
  1104. Only 1 :(
    3
  1105. The wealth per person is low. Having 1.4 billion poor people automatically makes your country one of the largest economies in the world.
    3
  1106. Because they still had an army.
    3
  1107. Indeed. Pure capitalism and pure socialism never work. The best system humans have ever created is a combination of the two: social democracy
    3
  1108. No. I was probably high on weed, I don't remember exactly. And if you go all the way to end of the video you'll get to understand what I meant with that statement (that many of them didn't last very long)
    3
  1109. I tried bringing it out earlier. But because of poor time management on my part it came out late.
    3
  1110. Germany. Will. Be. United!!!
    3
  1111. The Sobghai Empire didn't exist? The Mali Empire is just a myth? What about the Swahili citystates? How did Africans get the banana before Europe did, if there were no states to trade with Asian traders for those bananas? Is all of our history just wrong?
    3
  1112. Yes. That is exactly what I did... All of this is on Wikipedia if you go to the India section. Yes. Totally.
    3
  1113. Thanks, God!
    3
  1114. All praise our godly overlord Manuel!
    3
  1115. That's how you get monopolies, 14-hour work days, and slavery.
    3
  1116. source?
    3
  1117. Focusing on individuals is pointless. Governments and systems are made up of thousands of people. And nobody was "responsible" for it... It was just the system that failed and has since been fixed to the point where no single crisis has ever come close to the Great Depression. This channel won't go into such irrelevant minutiae
    3
  1118. If Africa isn't poor, then nobody would be starving on Africa. Seeing as starvation exists in Africa, it is still poor.
    3
  1119. No. Next is 'Why is Russia Not Rich'
    3
  1120. You're actually fifth
    3
  1121. Yes. Bring tired means that your body has used to much of its energy to continue. If you're referring to the painful feeling you get in your feet after walking too much, then also yes. The prosthetics still push against your body. But while your feet are designed to carry a human's weight, most other parts of the body are not.
    3
  1122. Yet Europe had those same issues and overcame them. I would have covered this difference more in my video, tbh
    3
  1123. Exchanging slaves for enslaved humans isn't nessecary. They're the same thing. And compensation isn't relevant to this video. Just as I can get compensation from my German friends because their ancestors enslaved mine. It's just silly.
    3
  1124. The Chinese invented them first... And Europe invented them because the Ottomans controlled the land routes.
    3
  1125. We already have a video about east Asian decolonisation
    3
  1126. I don't know exactly how to respond, but that was a very nice compliment. Glad I can help! :)
    3
  1127. While you are correct, also keep in mind that most countries don't want to rely on others for vital products, such as food. That often leads to blackmail
    3
  1128. Indeed
    3
  1129. Actually, there are about 30.000 lobbiests in Brussels vs only about 12.000 in the USA. The big difference is that in the USA the policymakers need money to get re-elected while in the EU no such bribes are needed. Meaning lobbyists in the USA can bribe their legislators while in the EU it's much more difficult
    3
  1130. You sure? Maybe I should say it one more time
    3
  1131. No.
    3
  1132. I like how you say the west shouldn't have decolonised or granted independence and then talk about how the USA should help them... Eventhough the USA was a colony which gained independence.
    3
  1133. FINALLY someone noticed! Yeah, I made them bdsm on purpose ;]
    3
  1134. I will make a small epilogue bit in bit planning to do one on Mexico or New Spain. I'm going to cover some more happy topics as the last 7 months has been dominated by rather depressing topics
    3
  1135. I hope you'll be able to get some help
    3
  1136. draining the sea and damming it off are very different ideas. Damming the Mediterranean would work to protect the coastline... draining the north sea, however, would be too much.
    3
  1137. @Aaron Giles no. Because that would require pumping out all the salt water, which kills off the local flora and fauna. And nobody is going to agree to that loss, from fisheries to tourism.
    3
  1138. Yeah, I had to leave out A LOT of things... Just the fact that the last third covers only a few years while the first 2 thirds covered about 2 centuries is already good evidence of how much I didn't get to cover. The worst part is that I didn't cover their personal culture and their architecture in more detail. But they had to be cut to keep it manageable for me to make this.
    3
  1139. how so? :D
    3
  1140. I felt very clever for coming up with that joke
    3
  1141. The breakup happened at the end of the century... So there was no need to go into depth about ww2
    3
  1142. But that still leaves 1 big question: if the problem is innovation and Japan can buy technology from other countries, how come Japan is stagnating but other rich countries are not. If innovation is the issue then why aren't other countries facing the same issue?
    3
  1143.  @travelvan68  That joke is terrible! I love it!! :D
    3
  1144. No... The finance came from the Dutch government
    3
  1145. I never said the USA was unique, though. I'm sure there are many countries with a similar worldview.
    3
  1146. Already did :D
    3
  1147. Democracy and capitalism aren't remotely the same same thing...
    3
  1148. Sure, dude. Totally...
    3
  1149. Resources are relatively cheap. A kilo of copper ore is cheap compared to electric cables made from that same copper. You can have resources and still be starving.
    3
  1150. No
    3
  1151. When you have fewer than 1000 soldiers with those arms and armour, against 250k Aztecs, or didn't matter all that much. The 'invasion' never contained enough soldiers to even be considered an army.
    3
  1152. It used to be stronger. I am trying hard to make it sound more normal because when recording my 'sh' sounds slightly like static... I don't want to hurt people's ears :)
    3
  1153. ... Seriously? :D
    3
  1154. If it's not poor, it wouldn't have such high poverty rates.
    3
  1155. No. Because such a thing would not be relevant to the subject at hand
    3
  1156. I delete the comments that are spam or contain personal insults :)
    3
  1157. Thanks Thij, you're the best!
    3
  1158. Those are some great mental gymnastics there... Are you a yoga teacher, because wow what a stretch? The first country to invade/declare starts the war. That's how wars work. You could argue Japan started ww2 when it invaded China, but not this. Joining an already existing war between Germany and Poland doesn't mean you're starting a war as war already existed...
    3
  1159. If that's the case, then how come the multi-ethnic states that came after lasted for decades afterwards?
    3
  1160. This is the right map. The internationally recognised borders of India instead of what the government claims are it's borders
    3
  1161. The break up of yugoslavia is already on the todo list :) But first I have the Tulip Mania to finish Then come the Aztec Empire And then there is the collapse of the Soviet Union where I will cover individual revolutions (e.g. Romanian Revolution) In 2020 I will cover the history of missions to Mars as in 2020 there are currently 5 planned missions to Mars and I want to cover the history in the period these 5 spacecraft are on their way. But in between them I'm going to cover other smaller topics. So depending on how long such a topic would be I can decide whether to turn it onto a series or create a one-time video such as with Nuremberg
    2
  1162. You can help me with that! Share this video on Facebook, Reddit, and all your friends! :D
    2
  1163. Will do! Working on the next video with all my free time, will be up this weekend
    2
  1164. "The Roman scholar Pliny the Elder (23-79 A.D.) wrote of a Roman general in the Second Punic War (218-210 B.C.) who had a right arm amputated." https://www.amputee-coalition.org/resources/a-brief-history-of-prosthetics/
    2
  1165. There were too many and they were too busy fighting a war. That said, they did try to destroy evidence but it was an impossible task
    2
  1166. Or is the Nuremberg Trial is the Tokyo Trial for Germany :D
    2
  1167. go away, Artemis! :D
    2
  1168. No. I heard it first when I was a child... Still waiting for it to happen after decades of waiting.
    2
  1169. I usually don't get racists... But this video surprised me a lot. I need to do A LOT more moderating for this video than for other ones... :(
    2
  1170. That is a very common misconception. It's okay :)
    2
  1171. Their existence.
    2
  1172. It's a generic tank.
    2
  1173. <3
    2
  1174. No. The green parts are the neutral countries who might have been more aligned with one side or the other, but weren't interested in joining the cold War.
    2
  1175. Georgia is part of the caucasus, which was mentioned in this video, though.
    2
  1176. No. Whether or not you live close to a city isn't relevant. It's the ease at which someone can hold authority over other people and how easily those people can end their abuse.
    2
  1177. I am aware. Which is why I pointed it out as an example. That what makes a country rich isn't necessarily capitalism. It's exactly because of those issues I selected SA.
    2
  1178. Because they aren't socialist. Nordic countries are social democracies and China is a mixed economy.
    2
  1179. Nice
    2
  1180. Except Africa has had many written languages...
    2
  1181. Ge'ez is the first one which springs to mind. But you'll need to Google the subject to find more info.
    2
  1182. I didn't include it because this is about the Aztecs, not the Spanish
    2
  1183. Indeed. Its neither classical communism nor soviet communist. It's clearly its own thing.
    2
  1184. That's not how economics works... As many countries have shown, you can increase one's economic output without it decreasing economic output elsewhere
    2
  1185. At which point in the video did I say that?
    2
  1186. I don't have a lisp though...
    2
  1187. Ah yes, India should go wage nuclear war... Great idea. What could go wrong?!
    2
  1188. The ussr was more command economy than socialist or communist... Just as you have different my versions of capitalism, there are different version of communism. Most people advocating for socialism want something more akin to Nordic countries than command economy
    2
  1189. They didn't wear little clothing...
    2
  1190. Heresy!
    2
  1191. 1:07 I know this is off-topic, but what is that circle in the middle of Kazakhstan? Is that Baikonur?
    2
  1192. That's after socialism and they were worst rich by then, so not relevant to the video at hand
    2
  1193. That's an interesting topic, but it might be WAAAAAAAY too big. afaik, Poland has been around for over 1000 years. I'm not sure we can cover a topic that big.
    2
  1194. Yes. It's coming out this Sunday
    2
  1195. Because he was alive at the Yalta Conference... This process, as stated in the video, stated before the end of the war.
    2
  1196. Nice.
    2
  1197. I'm planning on adding some more of those in my videos. I really like the Rules of Acquisition and they are very quotable. So expect more of them!
    2
  1198. No I didn't... It's on the decolonisation video.
    2
  1199. They had clothes on... There was nothing sexual about it...
    2
  1200. How was that immodest?! It's completely regular underwear.
    2
  1201. I asked you a question first... And wearing underwear is a lot more modest than not wearing underwear... I mean... We all wear it. There is nothing bad about wearing underwear at all. Stop underwear-shaming! :D
    2
  1202. Touché :D
    2
  1203. I'll make a video about the Tokyo Trials some time later this year/early next year
    2
  1204. :o ohhh that is interesting! I didn't come across that in any of my sources. do you happen to have a source
    2
  1205. Not a single excuse was made in this video. None of what you are complaining about here was in the video.
    2
  1206. No country has ever been shown to be communist, though. The most socialist nation in the world, Yugoslavia, did quite well in places where corruption was low. So we'd have to experiment more to find out.
    2
  1207. You're welcome
    2
  1208. This year I'm focusing on just making more money so I can live off of YouTube without worrying about money. If I succeed then I will focus on making my videos available in multiple languages
    2
  1209. I just added it to my 2021 todo list
    2
  1210. China has never had a healthy communist system... At best it has had state capitalism, merchantalism, or command economy. And a healthy communist economy would be a system such as Slovenia. A region which was both wealthy and communist at the same time.
    2
  1211. 1. It didn't adjust have an established economy. People won't get that angry at your transitioning economy if they already have so little to lose. 2. No extra freedoms. People couldn't complain and protest like in the USSR. 3. China was a lot cheaper to do business with. As a result, more foreign investment would come their way for decades. 4. China implemented A LOT more competitive aspects in their system. Competition usually leads to better results.
    2
  1212. Is love to make a video about that some day too
    2
  1213. This is a history video, so recent events are not included :)
    2
  1214. Btw, I know all those theories. And reduction in investment is EXACTLY what I'm talking about in this video. I merely use words which people without and economic background can understand.
    2
  1215. That's not a Nordic thing. Most industrialized nations use that system.
    2
  1216. See my pinned comment for the answer to that question.
    2
  1217. Before they had a feudal society and after they had access to morkets with far less protectionism. They couldn't do that before ww2 yet.
    2
  1218. He came a bit later
    2
  1219. I love you too
    2
  1220. no, you didn't. Because it doesn't explain the how and why.
    2
  1221. Just as I enjoyed your comment from start to finish :)
    2
  1222. I have about 5 minutes dedicated to African Socialism in this video...
    2
  1223. Just to give a bit more context on the Dutch involvement in slave trade: The Dutch were part of the slave trade the moment it became part of the Spanish Empire in the 15th century: In Madeira the Portuguese built sugar plantations. This sugar cane was refined in Flanders (modernday Belgium), and the sugar was sold across Europe from Amsterdam. When the Dutch declared independence from Spain, the Dutch Republic built and conquered sugar plantations in the Americas, just to keep their hold on Europe's sugar market. When the war with Spain ended, Portugal declared independence from Spain. But Portugal was Spain's main slave providers. And the Spanish asked the Dutch to take over, providing Spain with most of their slaves for decades. When I tell Dutch people about this they are surprised. Even though we learn about the Spanish Empire and our independence from them, nobody ever even thought to ask the question 'did we participate in the Spanish slave trade' for example.
    2
  1224. Yes
    2
  1225. Somebody else already made one. I didn't want to compete with that :p
    2
  1226. Once India controls those regions we'll add them. But until that time, we use the map relevant for today
    2
  1227. That makes your economic growth far slower, because it reduces expenditure. Mortgages allow people who are unable to save sufficient money to gain valuable investments like houses. They cannot reposes your house in most cases because of basic anti-homeless laws, as well as you owning part of the house as part of said mortgage. This doesn't make you poor it makes you transfer one type of asset into another. Which doesn't mean you lose money, or means you have something else of equal value.
    2
  1228. This channel doesn't do propaganda
    2
  1229. I did explain that; the British industry industrialised faster, making their products cheaper, thus Indian manufacturing could no longer compete, and so India stagnated. As well as instilling a culture where the solution was greater manpower rather than better machines. The details, however, were not that important as this video only talks about the broad macroeconomics of India.
    2
  1230. Such as?
    2
  1231. See my sources
    2
  1232. :O Awesome! I just looked if I got new messages and you just made my day. On top of that! You are also the first subscriber for this video! I hope to be worthy of it! :)
    2
  1233. How do you know how to pour feces?
    2
  1234. Then you would have 10 pennies! :D
    2
  1235. Indeed... With money accumulated over the last 3 decades. That cash fund is going to run out. And much of the investments aren't into productive industries meaning average Russians will still be rather poor (seriously, look at cities in Siberia where whole neighbourhoods are not connected to sewage)
    2
  1236. Because now he's pro-dictatorship.
    2
  1237. War has almost stopped in Africa. They only have civil wars now. And many African countries did not go to war at all. So this doesn't explain everything
    2
  1238. Good. :D
    2
  1239. The spice trade, mostly.
    2
  1240. Thank you everyone for your answers, Shirvan's comments section is awesome!
    2
  1241. Those are actually the most civil comments... The amount of neonazi bs I had to delete is quite depressing
    2
  1242. Well, I hope I'm not too late to still bring some popcorn
    2
  1243. See sources
    2
  1244. There is even a picture in the video :D
    2
  1245. Maybe
    2
  1246. Because that was common everywhere at the time. So not worth paying special attention to
    2
  1247. It looks like that will be the 2nd next video, based on the poll. I will cover Romania too.
    2
  1248. Become a YouTuber! :D
    2
  1249. It's both. No matter how I say it, people will complain
    2
  1250. It was said a total of 8 times. Averaging once per 5 minutes.
    2
  1251. "They said they were trying to help and they didn't know. They would have known if they had listened to me." I can relate to that far too well. I'm sorry you had to go through that :(
    2
  1252. The issue is not slavery itself, afterall, feudalism is basically slavery. The problem is that people who were skilled left Africa to work elsewhere. As a result, Africa suffered a brain drain for centuries.
    2
  1253. Yeah, I'm as surprised by that as you
    2
  1254. I didn't say it was...
    2
  1255. If there was a pause there I did not mean to do so. When I recorded the video I had forgotten what she looked like. In general when I record I have A LOT of pauses in sentences. If you've ever listened to the G-man from Half Life speak with random pauses in the middle of sentences, that's kind of how I speak when recording. I was probably just taking a breath in the middle of the sentence or something and the audio editor had to cut around that
    2
  1256. "one of the"... Not "the only"
    2
  1257. Because this video is about the Breakup of the Soviet Union, not the politics of the Russian Federation.
    2
  1258. thank you :) I hope I'll make worthy content to keep you and the other 461 subs :)
    2
  1259. Russia is too big to be accepted into the EU. Aside from various requirements (e.g. Being a democracy), Russia's population would make it the largest country in the European Parliament. Such a shift in power away from every other country would make it highly unlikely that Russia would ever receive the unanimous approval it requires for EU membership.
    2
  1260. We probably will at some point
    2
  1261. Because they were the ones in charge and in custody. The rest were sent to other courts for lesser criminals.
    2
  1262. Then how come the most prosperous countries are the ones with social democracy? Best education, highest standards of living, highest rates of millionaires, most happy people, most healthy, etc.
    2
  1263. Which link is missing? I thought I got all of them
    2
  1264. Those were colonised by Germany. Belgium received then for being on the winning side in world war 1
    2
  1265. It was a bitch getting all the information...
    2
  1266. Da, comrad.
    2
  1267. I had an Italian teacher once who was called Giuseppe. And the way I pronounced the name in this video is how he wanted to be called as well. That's why I chose this pronunciation.
    2
  1268. Maybe I will.
    2
  1269. Thank you for at least leaving a comment so this video does better in the algorithm <3
    2
  1270. We can recreate those processes and analyse the results. As well as chemical analyses of old alcoholic concoctions.
    2
  1271. We know exactly how the vast majority of the pyramids were made. And a chemical analysis is a lot easier to do than architectural. With architecture there are a lot of different ways to achieve the same result. With chemistry this isn't so easy. So once you have the equipment (which archaeologists found) one can simply recreate the process. And a chemical analysis is not that difficult to do. Humans do it all the time.
    2
  1272. It just went public
    2
  1273. What you are describing isn't capitalism.
    2
  1274. Companies were owned by the workers instead of private entities. That is, by definition, socialism. Whether a country trades or not doesn't matter to whether a system is socialist or capitalist.
    2
  1275. Without capitalism a country stays poor. No single country has ever managed to get out of poverty without capitalism. And you can make a capitalist system that isn't exploitative. China is a great example of this, as they now spend money on other countries in order to make a profit from the new customers they will be getting.
    2
  1276. It was the first phrase that came up in my head :D
    2
  1277. Those shipping lanes are very important to world trade. Major powers will likely involve themselves in that part of the world for centuries just to protect their trade.
    2
  1278. My populations sometimes do that, they ruthlessly hunt down people leaving negative comments and will steal their ears for a statue in my honour.
    2
  1279.  @nusratparveen82  We when people vote on it. The way it will work is that every 3-4 videos there will be a poll about which decolonisation video we should do next. The Indian subcontinent will get its own video.
    2
  1280. Yes
    2
  1281. I'm working on it! :) My newer videos should be a lot better.
    2
  1282. "each other"
    2
  1283. It's the map of effective control... The internationally recognised map...
    2
  1284. Seeing as I know nothing about music and it's too modern, I will not be covering modern musicians :)
    2
  1285. Hence the "in Europe" part
    2
  1286. You don't remember Anne Frank? :o
    2
  1287. Because they exist.
    2
  1288. Germany will be United :)
    2
  1289. They were all old dudes. Out of them, statistically speaking, some had to die relatively early on following the end of the war.
    2
  1290. Currently working on the fourth one :)
    2
  1291. Then how do you explain the high percentage of autistic people ending up with ptsd after undergoing aba?
    2
  1292.  @EmperorDionx  I have lived in a couple of countries and once you get to witness actual poverty, you realize just how rich the Netherlands is.
    2
  1293. I'll keep that in mind, thank you. Are there any particular timestamps that were difficult to watch?
    2
  1294. A condition to enter ww2 in Europe was Bretton woods It attacked Cuba to open up a new market It sent attack boats to Japan to open its ports and markets Etc.
    2
  1295. Aal=eel. So it's eelslake or lake of eels
    2
  1296. No. Just no. Watch the damned video instead of believing such us-centric nonsense
    2
  1297. I love how I get angry comments about how I put all the blame in white people... While also getting comments like yours. Please make up your minds :D
    2
  1298. I AGREE! BUT WHY ARE WE SHOUTING!?
    2
  1299. Have already improved the scripts for future videos :)
    2
  1300. It's literally the in the map...
    2
  1301. nahh, that's supposed to be a representation of a modern Croat... and that hair looks awesome, in my opinion!
    2
  1302. I used West Africa to mean anything on the west coast, bordering the Atlantic.
    2
  1303. First as British India. But because of Indian independence it was India who made the final verdict at court. India was also the greatest critic of this trial as they had suffered under British rule and thought Japan wasn't that much different as everyone else
    2
  1304. :O That is a great idea! I've added it to my list of future episodes! I want to do a video on the history of prostetics first, after that I might work on dentistry
    2
  1305. While making this video I moved my toe just to feel then and be grateful my body is still mostly intact :)
    2
  1306. The taste, texture, and the rest.
    2
  1307. "skip ad" And YouTube decides which ads to put on videos, though... I only get to choose where they are and which types of ads. Not the length.
    2
  1308. +Benjamin Nielsen How so?
    2
  1309. I have since moved on to 'my own artstyle' seeing as my videos are becoming quite a bit more popular than expected :)
    2
  1310. Working on the next video as we speak... Unfortunately Adobe crashed again so I'm going through the comments now while it's starting up again :D
    2
  1311. I talk about that specifically in this video, tough
    2
  1312. Good points, but they weren't as relevant to the breakup of Yugoslavia, that would be better for a video on the Yugoslav wars
    2
  1313. Africa isn't a country.
    2
  1314. Maybe
    2
  1315. Because this video is about the breakup of Yugoslavia, not about Kosovo. The title of the video is pretty clear about that, tbh
    2
  1316. There is an old meme with him called 'gaben', which sounds similar to the country's name.
    2
  1317. Check the sources. This video was about the breakup of the ussr, not the atrocities. Hence why it wasn't mentioned again.
    2
  1318. Nobody ever said otherwise in this video though.
    2
  1319. Because the slaves were exported, meaning a brain drain. On top of that, when you're economy focuses on only one thing, your economy is ruined when that one thing isn't traded anymore
    2
  1320. This is a history video, not a modern affairs video. For the geopolitics I suggest Caspian Reports
    2
  1321. I'm actually planning to make a video on why weed has become illegal worldwide :)
    2
  1322. It's an interesting argument. Obviously, Germany had enough non-nazi talent to pull itself out of its wartorn state in only a few years. So they weren't 'needed', Unlike many other dictatorships where the only people who could effectively govern were also part of the corrupt government. Aside from various scientists (e.g. Von Braun), the nazis weren't THAT instrumental after the war in many fields.
    2
  1323. Africa was as well connected as the rest of Eurasia. Trade ships went all the way around Africa for centuries. Africans had access to Indian cloth, Indonesian spices, European rum, etc.
    2
  1324. YOU'RE WELCOME!!!
    2
  1325. I talked about that in my video
    2
  1326. After the Aztec video, I already wasn't expecting to be allowed in.
    2
  1327. Slaves were almost always other people. Very few people enslaved their own people on a large scale. Hence why such resettlement is not Ottoman integration.
    2
  1328. I'm Avery.
    2
  1329. That's not entirely correct: generally richer countries have a lower birthrate.
    2
  1330. Because it was only discovered a few years ago that he was a nazi.
    2
  1331. They weren't in NATO
    2
  1332. Many people believe in a romanticised past which never existed, as a way to solve modernday issues instead of looking forward. Its quite common throughout history.
    2
  1333. Aside from the Jewish part and that my ancestors haven't been German in about 200-100 years, those are also my exact feelings on the subject.
    2
  1334. That's why I didn't say "all history of Africa"
    2
  1335. About 3000 euro in today's money. I spend less than 250 euro on food per month. So it's about right.
    2
  1336. The Commander Keen 4 under water level still freaks me out when I think about it
    2
  1337. That is how I speak normally
    2
  1338. Because of African Americans. I googled famous African Americans and used their skin colours
    2
  1339. I read North American... Nevermind :D
    2
  1340. Yeah I fucked up by 100 years :D
    2
  1341. Because I had airway shared the original at the top of this thread
    2
  1342. This is by far the weirdest non-racist answer to the video's question that I've ever gotten.
    2
  1343. It's the one they used at the time... but I agree, it's really really really ugly.
    2
  1344. Traitor! :D
    2
  1345. I did not say that in the video, though. I merely pointed out the underlying incentive that caused the system to favour Italian nationalism over others. Those who earn more money are usually favoured in processes such as these, hence I pointed that out. But not that that was the main reason.
    2
  1346. Same.
    2
  1347. Until the defences fail :D
    2
  1348. I had no idea I had people give me subtitles :o I will check them out this week or the next
    2
  1349. I added them all :)
    2
  1350. healthcare for everybody, employee-ownership of businesses, free childcare, public pensions, etc. Just the basic socialist policies almost every country implements because things are more efficient and effective that way.
    2
  1351. You know what people mean when they say 'free childcare': it means you don't have to pay upon use. this is like complaining that penicillin doesn't contain pens.
    2
  1352. "encouraging violence" was putting it mildly. He went so far that even nazis thought he was too radical.
    2
  1353. I like how your pfp looks angry while your comment is calling the video beautiful :D
    2
  1354. I don't want high tempo. But thanks.
    2
  1355. West African slave trade happened nearly all along the west cost from the Sahara to around the modern borders of South Africa. Something similar on the east coast happened. This includes most African entities not landlocked. Talking about landlocked countries' poverty is die to a lack of access to trade. This is why I said its as well connected as Europe and asia: because vast areas aren't well connected (e.g. Siberia). Therefore it ignores the regions that are less prosperous due to geology. Thus it only focuses on the ones thta were connected to the global trade system I also don't talk about Africa as a country except to point out that that's stupid. As for individual differences in countries: I already point this out and only converted general trends. I think most of my audience got this part, tbh.
    2
  1356. Nope. The difference really was that big.
    2
  1357. No it's an increase. Not a total.
    2
  1358. Yes. Damn, I didn't think anyone would get it. That was a good way to explain the differences between the Qunari and the test of the world, so 8 decided to use it here as well.
    2
  1359. I know. But it is the year Poland's protests changed the government.
    2
  1360. Hope so? :)
    2
  1361. Can you point those out are you only going to make vague accusations?
    2
  1362. I have done some serious restructuring of my videos over the past year to make sure I make quality content. I am very happy to hear that it's improving! :) That said, I still see things which I would like to see much improved (the animations can be a bit monotonous, for example), I think I am at a point now where they are good enough to be considered 'good videos' by many people. My goal now is to make a video every 2 weeks because I am sick of having weeks or even months between videos.
    2
  1363. Not a bad idea. I'll think about it and add it to my 2021 todo list.
    2
  1364. Hence why I talk so often about their political structure :)
    2
  1365. 10
    2
  1366. It's not a conspiracy, it's a marketing campaign. Please see the sources for more info and the actual research leading up to it. And let's not forget that the USA did something very similar after ww2
    2
  1367. The people vote on national leader and the EU Members of Parliament
    2
  1368. They didn't practice large-scale cannibalism.
    2
  1369. 50 years... So in 1995?
    2
  1370. This video of in English, not German :)
    2
  1371. You're correct that Northern Africa is significantly more developed. I wouldn't exactly call Algeria a poor country, however, I also wouldn't call it a rich country. It would actually be very interesting to do a video on why Northern Africa isn't developed despite all it's natural resources and proximity to Europe. So you guys have stuff to sell and customers to sell it to, yet haven't developed like Taiwan, for example
    2
  1372. Even if European nations were genuinely trying to improve the colonies, it would take decades of training. Understandably, the Africans did not trust their colonisers to wait that long.
    2
  1373. Communism doesn't allow dictatorships. Any dictatorship calling itself communist is lying about what they really are. They are often command economies rather than communist economies
    2
  1374. Adobe Animate
    2
  1375. It's not a mistake.
    2
  1376. :* Love you too <3
    2
  1377. Guilder is the English word for Gulden. Seeing as this video is in English, I use English names.
    2
  1378. Where did I declare to be a communist?
    2
  1379. So no sources at all... Good job!
    2
  1380. It's not because it's too quick, it's because I cut it one frame too late :D
    2
  1381. What is meant in this song is that they chose close relations with Russia right after the cold war. They exchanged their nuclear arsenal for financial aid, with Russia. they chose a military alliance, with Russia. The statistics I used were from 2004-2014, before the souring of relations between the two countries.
    2
  1382. JAWOHL!!!
    2
  1383. There are 100s of different versions of communism, just as there are 100s of versions of capitalism. You can be a communist without that one specific policy.
    2
  1384. Where am I doing any of that?
    2
  1385. No. I'm a History Scope, not a Future Scope.
    2
  1386. Gold did have value. But they didn't use it as a currency and could only be trader amongst nobility. So its like a computer for us. Its good to have but you can't use it as a currency. Gold had value to them. But not as much as it did to Europe where gold determined the size of one's money supply.
    2
  1387. They have the servers this video is running on, though :D
    2
  1388. Except there have been numerous cases where HIV patients did actually do that.
    2
  1389. When I talked about Roosevelt I was referring to the conference in Iran :)
    2
  1390. This video isn't about the USA
    2
  1391. Only 30% of autistic people identify as heterosexual.
    2
  1392. China was present.
    2
  1393. Yes, but what's that thing in your profile picture?
    2
  1394. Because they weren't dead for hundreds of years.
    2
  1395. As far as I know, they did. But Germany was too powerful.
    2
  1396. It doesn't have any power on national politics. So that's not an issue. Countries shave to choose to hand over individual decision making in order for the EU to do so. But countries don't want to do that so it doesn't happen. This is why there wasnt an EU-wide fight against the coronavirus, for example: because countries wanted to keep healthcare as part of national decisions making, rather than from the EU.
    2
  1397. No. I cover history. Please see Caspian Report for info on modernday geopolitics
    2
  1398. Why would I hate two whole continents?
    2
  1399. no
    2
  1400. The Caribbean Islands are part of the America's, though. As for the high amount of migrants: because more people are alive right now and travel is easier than at any other time in history
    2
  1401. That's the joke, yes.
    2
  1402. If you need to be told that smallpox comes from afro-eurasia, then that person isn't ready yet for this video. They need to learn more basic history instead.
    2
  1403. It went off it multiple times
    2
  1404. It's a generic tank.
    2
  1405. This video isn't about slavery, though...
    2
  1406.  @Ravenheart88  I am going to put everything together this week. Hopefully upload it next week.
    2
  1407. The first was an intentional joke The second was purposeful, as there are few Christians who actually worship the virgin Mary. She is but a part of the Christian religion but not a central figure. Hence why I chose Buddha and Hinduism.
    2
  1408. None of those were part of the EU. The EU isn't about protecting non members
    2
  1409. No it wasn't. It was sappige Fanta.
    2
  1410. Thanks for the superlike!
    2
  1411. The Sino-Soviet split
    2
  1412.  @florisvanklaveren8681  I don't know the word 'sliss' so I looked it up... Google sent me to a location in Belgium for some reason... But if you're asking about my speech impediment: I don't have one. I don't get why people always complain about it
    2
  1413. Nope. I think it's too much for that. And then I pay more in taxes... I don't want to pay more taxes :D
    2
  1414. That had barely an impact on African poverty
    2
  1415. Especially Adobe!
    2
  1416. I chose to name the country Czechia as that's the name it chose to be called in 2016. Just as France is short for The French Republic. Source: https://unterm.un.org/UNTERM/Display/Record/UNHQ/NA/4275087d-4018-4082-899d-95f37efeda65
    2
  1417. I finished this on Christmas day and waited until after the holidays to post this. People told me I was noticeably more morbid than usual. So I'm sorry it made you feel sad, I know the feeling, I have some videos that are very uplifting too! :)
    2
  1418. Seeing as I got the conclusions from my sources: no. That's simply not true. I knew almost nothing about the Aztecs to even have them.
    2
  1419. A heads up to a 4 year old video? Why? :)
    2
  1420. The first world war started because countries created alliances against Germany, while Germany wanted all the same privileges as all other great nations. WW2 started because of the treaty of versaille. Which was so strict on Germany in part out of fear for Germany.
    2
  1421. Yes
    2
  1422. I like how you assume I have bearing problems based on how my mouth moves...
    2
  1423. One of the things I tried to convey in this video is that capitalism without restrictions is a very very bad idea. I am planning to do a video about what capitalism is and/or early capitalist companies to show why modern-day governments put so many restrictions on capitalism (e.g. abolishing slavery)
    2
  1424. Maybe.
    2
  1425. I barely talked about Brazil...
    2
  1426. no, it's about something else.
    2
  1427.  @PLKartofel  I will do that at some point, but we just hired an animator so before we cover a topic as important as chocolate, I decided it's best to start with a smaller project like this video. So we'll probably do it next year. But there is an April 1st video coming. Don't worry about that :D
    2
  1428. But why though? Should we also use the official map of Russia which includes Ukraine? Should Taiwan and parts of India added to China because that's their official map? Or is India special?
    2
  1429. Joke's on you, I only have one chair :D
    2
  1430. Yeah, I didn't double check my maps back then... I still feel bad about that one. I am going to cover the fall of the soviet Union in the future where I will put an accurate map :)
    2
  1431. Hail Satan. But first, hail your own majestic self.
    2
  1432. Yet many Indian states paid tribute to the Chinese emperor... That's what happens when you are the most powerful civilization for 1000s of years
    2
  1433. I never said anything about that...
    2
  1434. not really. My new mic can't record loud sounds... I'll probably buy a new one soon to solve this.
    2
  1435. used part from my Game of Thrones videos :D
    2
  1436. The tide of war changed before the nukes, though.
    2
  1437. Italy wasn't western...
    2
  1438. Maybe
    2
  1439. The official statement was: to get prisoners... Whether this was the task reason is unclear
    2
  1440. :o someone who realises it's an accent and not a lisp? I like you!
    2
  1441. The high level of starvation shows poverty is quite common in Africa, though
    2
  1442. That's not relevant to this video. I addressed it in comments underneath the Nuremberg video and this did not avoid it. The only reason I mentioned it here was to make add some humour before driving into the most depressing parts of this video.
    2
  1443. Yeah, I wonder if this is the same person or just a group of users with the same profile pic and username. But we are both called Avery. So that's great.
    2
  1444. Exactly. I said how people see Africa and then point out why is wrong. That's the point. That's why I left that in... I should ha e changed the subs, though. I made this decision while recording, after I already finished the script
    2
  1445. I agree, I'm currently focusing on improving my voice work. Thank you for the advice
    2
  1446. ​ @Asdayasman  I am now looking at it in more detail and yes, this is quite atrocious. This should be in 1080p but it oesn't even look half as good as that. I will try to get a better quality video for the next one and figure out what's wrong with Adobe Premiere on my new computer... I'm not doing anything differently. The files before Adobe Premiere look really good, unlike this video. When this series is finished, I will combine all the episodes into one single video and completely redo the rendering for this video... and maybe switch to a program that doesn't mess up the quality this much. It's moments like these that make me afraid of any and all software updates. Thank you for telling me.
    2
  1447.  @Asdayasman  Yes. I'll first explain how I usually did it and then how it went wrong this time: first I animate. then export the animations as a MOV file which is an unformatted video file with 10-100 GB per video. Then I convert those MOV files into MP4 files. then put all the animations next to each other and put sound underneath it. I had just bought a new computer and the conversion messed up. I exported as 1920p and it exported it to something closer to 360p. Then when I put everything together Adobe Premiere reduced the quality even further as it tried to stretch the 360p images to 720p (what I normally upload my videos in). I didn't notice this change because I also bougt 2 large computer screens which are far larger than 720p. so when I compared the quality I thought something was off but I blamed it on my eyes not noticing the difference because of the big screens. Now I solved it by downloading a different program to convert the MOV files in.
    2
  1448. No. It's just the Gaben meme
    2
  1449. Because I am bad at drawing boobs... Very bad.
    2
  1450. Hey! My boobs are much better in my recent videos! :o (this sounds very weird when taken out of context)
    2
  1451. Now that you mention it, they actually do! :D I like isometric art a lot so I will incorporate it in my future videos as much as possible.
    2
  1452. Absolutely
    2
  1453. No.
    2
  1454. I have changed my voice to be more pleasant. If you have seen my new videos, has my voice improved? :)
    2
  1455. In the 1950s, China hadn't industrialised... So the leaders in the 1950s had no idea how the Singapore model would wor because they model didn't exist at the time
    2
  1456. Apartheid wasn't relevant to decolonisation. Rhodesia is mentioned in the video.
    2
  1457. Chrisinizing?
    2
  1458. This video isn't blaming anyone... You're the only one saying that here.
    2
  1459. No
    2
  1460. China has the oldest education system in the world... Dude...
    2
  1461. I spent about 1 month working on a 10 minute video. Teachers get to spend less than an hour to prepare for an hour of class. It's not their fault that they don't have dozens of hours to prepare.
    2
  1462. Africa is poor because of its low ppp per capita. If it wasn't poor, people wouldn't be starving in Africa. The fact that it had to share less than the wealth of Germany between over a billion people means there are few resources to go around and this means they are poor. Having a few skyscrapers or having cars doesn't exclude you from living in poverty.
    2
  1463. There is lots of poverty in the USA... But we're talking about Africa.
    2
  1464. I don't want this to become the theme of my channel... It's been pretty depressing as of late (Aztecs, Nuremberg, tokyo trial) but I'd love to do another one like this
    2
  1465. I drank it all.
    2
  1466. Me too, Lawrence, me too :(
    2
  1467. I didn't assume. I looked at frequency of research expeditions, new stations, and how much crew was being sent. I couldn't find any evidence that exploration of Antarctica was slowed down. Also. Polar bears don't live on the south Pole.
    2
  1468. @ADM.II. thank you for replying to all those bigoted comments. It was easy to find and delete them that way :D
    2
  1469. People from the USA don't have a different psychology, so the nationality of the person isn't important.
    2
  1470. I've got enough money. Don't worry about it :)
    2
  1471. No, Ross Scott from Accursed Farms
    2
  1472. Lake baikal was mongol territory and is located in Siberia... Modern Mongolia's borders are not the same as those of the Mongol Empire.
    2
  1473. Ask that question without being rude and you might actually get an answer
    2
  1474. How so?
    2
  1475. How much do you want to bet on that?
    2
  1476. I will. Next video.
    2
  1477. It's not democratic socialism. It's social democracy.
    2
  1478. i'm sssssoryy :(
    2
  1479. I would honestly also like to do a video on the French national integration process, tbh.
    2
  1480. They didn't make "no progress". Thats like saying a country like Liechtenstein made no progress just because they don't produce a lot of stuff.
    2
  1481. About a third of the country is reclaimed
    2
  1482. "the Serbs"... Yeah no... I'm taking about the government. I also didn't paint them red... They have the same skin colour as the other Yugoslavs.
    2
  1483. Nowhere do I say otherwise...
    2
  1484. It's a silly joke... You're taking it EASY too seriously
    2
  1485. My gf
    2
  1486. One of my favourite games is TTD, actually :D
    2
  1487. That's awesome! Go show those neurotypicals!!! :D
    2
  1488. Yes.
    2
  1489. "the cia made no conclusion about the nutritional makeup of the soviet diet" ... So this doesn't prove your point at all.
    2
  1490. Then how come they have such a high gdp and ppp per capita of their economy is ruined?
    2
  1491. That is the correct map
    2
  1492. I've lived in Germany for quite a while :)
    2
  1493. Water at the time often had bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants that would have killed people who drank only water. They didn't know that boiling water was all they needed to do. So by sheer natural selection, the water-drinkers simply died out.
    2
  1494. Venezuela isn't communist, Peter.
    2
  1495. Then how do you explain the steady growth?
    2
  1496. 1.3 billion poor people is still one of the largest economies. The average wealth of a citizen of India is very low, hence it's poor
    2
  1497. The how do you explain the starvation in Africa of our weren't poor?
    2
  1498. Having resources doesn't make you rich, though.
    2
  1499. They had postal services, but not the infrastructure to make such postal services faster than intercontinental services.
    2
  1500. Nice comment, thank you :)
    2
  1501. If you listen carefully you'll understand that the issue isn't warfare but that it caused a brain drain by exporting skilled workers... I really don't get how people don't get that part...
    2
  1502. Europe didn't install crippling economic and political policies join themselves, only their colonies
    2
  1503. Former kings are often still called kings after abdication. Just like people are still called president after retiring from a presidency
    2
  1504. Nope.
    2
  1505. Yes
    2
  1506. This has been the weirdest thread under any of my videos thus far... :D
    2
  1507. Let's assume climate change is a myth: that means millions of people are all in on it, yet nobody has come out showing that its bs. Statistically speaking, that's impossible.
    2
  1508. Flag of Berlin.
    2
  1509. Except Africa was never communist...
    2
  1510. :(
    2
  1511. They are not. Almost ever EU country has at least 1 institution. The primary ones, the first, were placed in the first couple of members, though.
    2
  1512. Because they were all old by the time of the trial.
    2
  1513. Nope, not part of this video because it broke away from Serbia, not yugoslavia
    2
  1514. That's the point. That's the reputation it has and then I explain why its wrong.
    2
  1515. Combination of racism and that most rich countries were more affected by Germany than Japan.
    2
  1516. Nope. That was the flag for British India at the time.
    2
  1517. I'm pinning your comment to see if other people have the same issue. I uploaded the video in 1080x1920 format which was good enough to read the text. I currently don't have access to my computer to check so I'll wait for others to reply. If this is an issue then I will solve it when I put all the episodes together into one long video.
    2
  1518. Okaaay... Nobody is saying otherwise in this video...
    2
  1519. Because almost every socialist state went with collective ownership through a government.
    2
  1520. That's not anti capitalist, though. You can have capitalism where companies are owned by the employees :) In fact, a lot of businesses in capitalist societies are owned by the people working there and outperform other forms of management, on average
    2
  1521. That's the flag of British India. In the end, India got that seat at the tribunal after independence. Hence India with the British Indian flag.
    2
  1522. Hence why the one before independence was shown... As at that time in the video it wasn't independent yet.
    2
  1523. You're right, I should have talked more about that. Unfortunately I cut a lot of slave trade parts from the script to keep it short and concise.
    2
  1524. As someone who just bought weed at the coffeeshop... I agree
    2
  1525. How do you think I make these videos? Sober? Of course not. They are AT LEAST 25% produced while high. Some videos were recorded high...
    2
  1526. Okaaay. So he wasn't black. There are a lot of other possible shades he could have had
    2
  1527. I've got the Quran next to me. Please give the exact verse where was he described so I can look into this
    2
  1528. Which is exactly what I said... Soooo start listening
    2
  1529. Seeing as it flooded for millennia and stopped a few decades ago... no, it wouldn't be a better title.
    2
  1530. I was thinking of doing the inca's, but Extra Credits did a series on them which is better than anything I could make. But another tribe would be interesting, though.
    2
  1531. That's odd, all sound should come from both sides. My apologies.
    2
  1532. Adobe Animate
    2
  1533. No, that was a quote from Avatar Aang at the end of Season 1 of Legend of Korra
    2
  1534. That's called neo-colonialism :)
    2
  1535. If you have 1.3 trillion people who are as productive on average per capita as some of the most developed nations then you get that number. It is possible without hyperinflation, as many countries have reached that level of wealth.
    2
  1536. I have never come across any credible research or argument explaining it's more or else difficult.
    2
  1537. I'm a Yankee? Why did nobody tell me this!?
    2
  1538. Yes it is. But it didn't decolonize so not part of this video. I did make a video about the soviet Union breaking up, though. Which covers a lot of this
    2
  1539. How is that relevant to the subject at hand?
    2
  1540. When researching this I came across dozens of different documents and agencies with the word 'delta' on it... This is just the beginning
    2
  1541. I tried getting it in the video but couldn't think of a good way to bring it in. This video was getting long enough as it was, so I decided not to make it too much longer either. But you are right. Das war cool! (I hope I said that right)
    2
  1542. The EU had no influence on the cultures of the member countries... What you're complaining about doesn't exist
    2
  1543. The greatest national heroes of my homecountry created a system of systematic and worldwide slavery and oppression... Although we don't really talk about that part and instead talk about the 'great' naval battles he won (ignoring the fact that ships don't sail themselves)... Eventhough those 'glorious' battles killed thousands of people and robbed even more friends and loved ones away from each other because 'hurrdurr war is good'. It's incredibly sad. We have even named months of the year after br
    2
  1544. What dynasty did we skip?
    2
  1545. They are not. That was the flag Spain used at the time. The difference is that England's Cross is a straight line while Spain's is far more jagged.
    2
  1546. It's based on the average growth of India of only 6% year on year. That's slow for a country of their size and very feasible. But as said in the video "if they don't mess up". 6% growth should be VERY feasible when people only have around 6-7k ppp per capita while the average age is as low as India. Even if India only grows by 4 or 5 percent year on year, it would still become a giant on the world power by that time, simply because India has so many people. If they only get to 20k per year per capita, for example, their economy would be roughly the size of the USA's economy today. Hence why such predictions are far more likely to come true due to the demographics of India... If they don't fuck up badly.
    2
  1547. I removed those comments... Jesus christ some people...
    2
  1548. I mentioned it as well, as part of the inefficient government. As well as maintaining the old nobility which is a large source of corruption. I simply don't use the word corruption and prefer to talk about specific things instead.
    2
  1549. OK... Then why are you on this video?
    2
  1550. @Dr ROLFCOPTER! Exactly. The tributary states of the Aztecs merely needed to rebel all at once. When the Spanish arrived, they had a reason to do so. I will explain this more in the next two episodes.
    2
  1551. No. I don't think so. Rome was a very centralised nation and held influence far from its borders for 100s of years. The Aztec Empire was feudalistic. The Aztec "empire" was really more of a few cities in the centre and everybody else paid them tribute. Rome was much more stable and spread their wealth through colonies, the Aztecs were much like raiders extracting tribute without making major changes to the people they conquered. Their systems of government and social structures were completely different.
    2
  1552. I talked about all these things in the video, tough. I don't named these plans because I want my videos to use as little jargon as possible.
    2
  1553. He had committed suicide shortly after being captured.
    2
  1554. And yes. It's a tablet, pill, or capsule :)
    2
  1555. Not relevant to this Nuremberg Trial
    2
  1556. XD
    2
  1557. That's 10 shots
    2
  1558. Apparently some people are using me as ASMR Scope to fall asleep... I did not expect that
    2
  1559. :*
    2
  1560. My video takes place a bit after those 30 years... As explained in my video. In the words of the great philosopher SL_PCKN: Try "harder next time"
    2
  1561. 1. I'm not talking exclusively about aspergers. Hence why I named several different versions of autism as classified in the 80s and 90s. 2. I'm also not erasing them. They still exist. 3. No person named Kim Peek is ever referenced in this video. 4. At no point did I tell anyone not to speak for me. 5. At no point did I say autism isn't disabling. In the introduction I give an example of when it is disabling for me... Please stop making these weird accusations.
    2
  1562. Hence the other 4 social media :)
    2
  1563. See pinned comment
    2
  1564. It's not an uncommon thing in Europe. Keep in mind that America has some of the most unforgiving prison systems in the world: imprisonment for nonsensical crimes such as using weed, institutionalised racism and sexism, and the general belief that Higher punishment reduces crime rates. In Europe, generally, prisoners are let out of prison when their own body as become a prison.
    2
  1565. If you look at the treaty it's main aspect (iirc) was that Japan would be opened up for trade. But Japan was a poor country. Why go to all that trouble to open trade with Japan? The only thing of value Japan has to offer was some of the highest quality coal of its time.
    2
  1566. Europe.
    2
  1567. That's as accurate as I'm willing to be :)
    2
  1568. Such as the cold War when those nations put the world on the brink of juclear annihilation... Yeah... So peaceful...
    2
  1569. called*
    2
  1570. Would be an interesting video too, tbh
    2
  1571. I'm bi and people told me I just hadn't chosen a side yet. So that not the best analogy :p But I understand what you're saying and agree completely
    2
  1572. True. But the more interested powers, the more they can play off large powers. Egypt has always been converted by major powers because of the suez canal, for escape. And they are doing quite well comparatively, because they can get concessions from every world power.
    2
  1573. And not a single example is given... If you're going to criticise someone, at least point out what's wrong
    2
  1574. Yes. I retroactively made German Reunification happen. Without this video east and west Germany would still be 2 countries :D
    2
  1575. Source: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-american-food-giant-the-largest-exporter-of-food-in-the-world.html
    2
  1576. Yes! Dislike the tomatoes!!! Let the hate flow through you!
    2
  1577. BRING IT ONNNNN!!!
    2
  1578. High praise, thank you!
    2
  1579. Why not?
    2
  1580. See my pointed comment for my reply :)
    2
  1581. But you forget about the efficiency of the GLA Postal Service! As they say themselves: "Nothing stops the mail".
    2
  1582. Then why is everybody mining in Africa for them? :D
    2
  1583. So France isn't fighting a war over uranium mines in the sahel? France is lying about that?
    2
  1584. Because she's awesome!
    2
  1585. that joke is terrible. Have my like :D
    2
  1586. Hey Adora
    2
  1587. Of course, anything for sushi!
    2
  1588. People aren't lamps, though. None of us are bright.
    2
  1589. The people who were in charge this time suffered under those same military put downs and thought it immoral to continue that policy
    2
  1590. How is it racist?
    2
  1591. In the countries with monarchies or want much different, though.
    2
  1592. They were a drain on the government, not on the economy as a whole. Getting copper or gold to turn into products resulted in large profits for the companies which in turn created more wealth for the colonisers. Even today, governments send 'development aid' to African countries to gain access to their resources, because those resources will form a profit for companies their home country. As for Africans being too poor to buy stuff: even poor people live off of more than just food... Clothing was very profitable at the time and African clothes were more expensive than European clothing, hence Africans bought European cloth.
    2
  1593. I would really appreciate if you could share this video. Thank you for your kind comments
    2
  1594. I don't know why I did it wrong. I took an official map from the time and drew on to of it. I think I just messed up
    2
  1595. They have been surpassed in efficiency by various countries. And I wanted to keep this video relevant for decades, so if I said 'it has one of the most efficient agricultural industry' then it might confuse people in the future, if the USA's agriculture declines.
    2
  1596. Yes there is. I explained colonisation caused them to be supplanted by European monarchies and therefore aren't that important to us overall downfall.
    2
  1597. Yes. No.
    2
  1598. Hence the term "in a healthy capitalist economy". I knew there would be comments like these, so I specifically excluded modernday USA
    2
  1599. It's because I HAVE NOT WITH MINERALS
    2
  1600. Me too :(
    2
  1601. If we do the whole series then yes.
    2
  1602. No. Everybody dies. I will die, you will die, and everybody who has ever existed, currently exists, or will ever exist will die. Being a war criminal didn't grant a person immortality. They died because humans die.
    2
  1603. Please see a professional about that
    2
  1604. Germany did indeed not want to pay their debt. Germany had a crisis of its own and spending money on other cou tries during a crisis won't get you reelected nor is it in the national interest. So Germany did so on the condition that Greece get its finances in order through austerity. That means that Greece is too poor, can't repay its debt, and nobody will lend it money (in simple terms). So Germany was only to lend Greece money if Greece was going to implement drastic changes to its finances. This wasnt JUST Germany. The IMF also demanded a lot of austerity measures, as well as several other euro countries such as Netherlands, Austria, and Finland. Greece didn't want that because it would cause massive economic damage, which you can see when looking at GDP figures of Greece from the last 13 years (Google 'Greece gdp' and it will show you a graph). There were several other solutions proposed by countries such as splitting the euro between Northern EU euro and a southern EU euro, eurobonds, kicking Greece out of the Euro, and some others I can't remember. But they were all rejected by one of the parties. Until eventually Greece relented and implemented austerity.
    2
  1605. I'm considering it. I have some other topics first. And I don't want to get too depressed making these videos, so it'll be a while if I do make that one :)
    2
  1606. Jesus Christ dude, buy a new keyboard, the writing quality is horrible.
    2
  1607. It's being cancelled :(
    2
  1608. Yes
    2
  1609. I did mention it and it wasn't the largest financial burden. Its welfare system, military, and most other public services received more finances than the chernobyl disaster
    2
  1610. This video compared economic policies, not 50 countries with 1
    2
  1611. Economies of scale becomes easier with larger populations, thus making it possible to produce more per person the larger the population.
    2
  1612. The reason I think so is because it has been observed consistently within organisations and economies.
    2
  1613. Canada is not a continent, though...
    2
  1614. I did think about it... But the video was already getting too long. So then ide have to cut something else and I didn't want to cut more than I already did :(
    2
  1615. I wouldn't have replied seriously if you weren't constructive in your critique :)
    2
  1616. Right hand. I inverted the animation to make it look better... But then I didn't notice the mistake during the final reviews
    2
  1617. UPF for the win!
    2
  1618. South Sudan did not declare independence from a colonial power
    2
  1619. The myth did come from the Spanish according to my sources. The first time that was shown was in Spain.
    2
  1620. Hence why I used mostly African sources while making this video. As well as providing African sources for more information such as the YouTube channel New Africa.
    2
  1621. Of course not :D
    2
  1622. That's because most did die from disease before colonisation started in those areas.
    2
  1623. I think he said Africa, not sure
    2
  1624. Thank you?
    2
  1625. No. China never had enough power to do that.
    2
  1626. I can say it a few more times just to be sure!
    2
  1627. You're going to be very happy by the end of the video ;)
    2
  1628. I don't think Indonesians need the descendents of former colonisers explaining theo history to them, tbh.
    2
  1629.  @FirefoxisredExplorerisblueGoog  I'm going to put all 6 videos into 1 large video. I am now going through all the mistakes I made in previous videos so I can fix them for the long video. so again: thank you for pointing this out. I will fix it for that video.
    2
  1630. I only drew Europe, not the world. Notice how North Africa and the rest of the Middle East isn't present either :)
    2
  1631. Almost every person has an ego. By that logic, all countries would be on the same level of development
    2
  1632. This video is about the economic situation, not the political situation after WW2. So we don't cover politics unless it's necessary to discuss the economics. And the 228 incident has very little impact on economics beyond what I already discussed in the video.
    2
  1633. Yeah, I don't think an autist would be qualified to talk about such emotional events in detail. Hence I put it under a general "ethnic tensions".
    2
  1634. It's the internationally recognised map of effective control. It's why crimea is part of Russia and Taiwan a separate country in my maps as well, instead of abiding by Ukrainian or ccp maps
    2
  1635. laughs in Russian
    2
  1636. While researching the topic, I discovered that there are several other countries such as Germany, Singapore, South Korea, and China who at one point undertook a similar project. I am not certain if the German project ever got past the planning phase, though. But the other three finished poldering, if I remember correctly.
    2
  1637. Mike Hunt had been banned from the comment section :)
    2
  1638. No. Mass creates gravity
    2
  1639. It depends on the type of infrastructure though: the type which can only export certain goods does not bring wealth to the average people, only to those who control that one resources and the infrastructure leading to and from that resource
    2
  1640. I UPLOADED THIS VIDEO ON YOUTUBE NOT AGAINST INDIANS. WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?
    2
  1641. I think that video is popular for 4 reasons. 1. Everybody knows about the Nuremberg Trials a little. We've all heard of it... But nobody really knows what happened exactly. It's one of those 'oh yeah! That happened. It was something important...'. We have all heard of it, know almost nothing about it, but would like to know what it's about. 2. The thumbnail. That's a good thumbnail. It tells you everything you need to know. I've got my gf to thank for that one. 3. The quality of the video was very good. It was a dark, bloody, depressing subject so I used a lot of black and white for the dark and depressing while red for the blood. Luckily, these are the three colours used in their flag at the time so that gave it bonus points. 4. Nobody had made a medium-sized video about the Nuremberg Trials yet. So I'm going to try to do this for more subjects. The Aztec videos are like that, although another, bigger YouTuber also made Aztec videos recently. But there are other subjects in going to cover this year too that will follow along these lines such as how we closed the ozone layer (not just the Science part but also how we even discovered it, convinced the whole world to get on board, and compare it with climate change and why nobody is doing enough about it), the collapse of the Soviet Union (we all know it happened, there was something something Berlin Wall, revolution here and there, and then it was just gone? I asked Russian friends of mine and they had no idea... Not even aunts and uncles who lived during that time know how it happened. Hell, my sister was born during that time and my mother wrote up what happened during that time and simply wrote something vague that the soviet Union was gone and... That's it. So I HAVE to cover that subject), and I am open to more suggestions
    2
  1642. Btw, sorry for the essay
    2
  1643. The population of Africa is growing the fastest of any content int he world right now... Yet it's the least developed. Instead a reduction in population growth shows economic development. The reason for this is that the richer people become the less likely they ate to have large families as they no longer require the children to produce enough food on their land and gain access to birth control. The increase in life expectancy is only a recent development as around 1900 life expectancy wasn't much better than the millenia before.
    2
  1644. Only 27.5% is Dutch. There are many British, US, and Germans as well.
    2
  1645. Not as great as your spelling <3
    2
  1646. You can turn them on... They are there.
    2
  1647. Me too. I love living in a country with 0 corruption where the governement always does what's best for the people. I'm so glad there are no gigantic scandals in the Netherlands anymore...
    2
  1648. Yes. Completely true. And the worst part is that this isn't the worst type of human sacrifice. Imo the worst one is for their god of agriculture. They would take a child and beat them in front of their friends and family. They would stop beating the children when they and their loved ones would have cried enough. The tears falling to the ground would symbolise rain falling. Afterwards they would kill the child.
    2
  1649. That's not true. Africa was in accessible for European empires for much of history yet black slavery was common. Simply lacking natural resources doesn't mean you have none. Japan particularly lacked food, but had plenty of mineral deposits at the time as well as a highly strategic location should a war ever arise in East Asia.
    2
  1650. There are backup levees and secondary backup levees. Farmland will be flooded to prevent major population centres from being hit. The Netherlands is quite well prepared
    2
  1651. Adobe animate. But I recommend you use something better and open source
    2
  1652. Yes. It's going to be in future polls
    2
  1653. Yeah, come on, give an example.
    2
  1654. As a German friend of mine once put it "Not even my grandparents were alive during the war". The sins of the father etc etc. :)
    2
  1655. I never made anyone look like angels... I don't do such simplistic categorisation.
    2
  1656. That would require taking time away from the subject at hand though. And this was just a silly joke to get people's attention :D
    2
  1657. Working on it right now! :)
    2
  1658. Yeah, imagine the wars that could have been prevented of the leaders of countries weren't abused as children :(
    2
  1659. Interestingly is that Kim Jong UN is 1.70 meters... Which is also the average height for a South Korean man.
    2
  1660. Fair points. But I didn't consider them colonised.
    2
  1661. This comment is even better! <3
    2
  1662. Several of them are doing okay, though. The Baltics in particular have been growing a lot since the ussr
    2
  1663. Hey, Romania and Bulgaria are more developed than Turkey. So they aren't all that bad. Plus, they are still improving. And hopefully will continue to do so for a looooooong time
    2
  1664. >:( I didn't use a spellchecker... I'm not dyslexic
    2
  1665. I have lived in so many places throughout Europe that even I am not sure anymore :D
    2
  1666. I did watch his video but I have very few remarks on what he did right or wrong. The research materials for this video cover a period of time from 1850s-2010s. And Kraut's video was mostly about events before this time period.
    2
  1667. Such as when Greece and Turkey who are both NATO members and never ever fight over anything ever?
    2
  1668. This video got demonitised and so stays unlisted for a while. Once that's done I'll update the descriptions.
    2
  1669. It's in there now
    2
  1670. Yes. That was the point.
    2
  1671. They joke is terrible... I love it! :D
    2
  1672. But we lost the coordinate to control them :(
    2
  1673. Yeah, but they were mostly the German students :D In all seriousness, I don't know if that's true though... But there are indeed lots of people drinking beer in Daytime.
    2
  1674. And so they destroyed themselves :D
    2
  1675. No opinion was given in the entire video. So no.
    2
  1676. Gonna fix it!
    2
  1677. I had to read that out loud because otherwise I'd forget... I'll edit this now. Thanks
    2
  1678. Contemporary China wasn't mentioned in the video.
    2
  1679. I usually wake up at 4:00 :D I spent 3 hours fixing the animations and uploading.
    2
  1680. That has far more to do with the fact that they had been exploited for centuries without gaini g any of the benefits of the taxes they paid. It's like complaining that Latvia is poor because it was forced into communism: it's not because they are stupid, it's because they were never given the opportunity to grow.
    2
  1681. I didn't forget: This video isn't about the USSR defeating Japan. there is no difference between a territory belonging to a country or being incorporated into a country. Nothing is implied with this. I wrote these parts on different days and as a result I used different words to describe a similar event.
    2
  1682. They weren't their own people. As clearly explained in this video.
    2
  1683. Simply because you live in the same continent does not mean they were "their own people". Just as an Israeli wouldn't consider a Taiwanese person as their own people.
    2
  1684. It's still a long way off. I recently started working on the norte chico civilization.. It's going to take a few 1000 years until we get to the incas
    2
  1685. Yup. Its in the playlist already but I haven't made it public yet. It still needs end cards, subtitles, etc. And I'll do that later. But t these videos are already available as 3 separate episodes instead of one long video
    2
  1686. From Russia with love - huma huma
    2
  1687. Fists are not communist.
    2
  1688. ... Wait until you see the next video... I'll get into the different types of human sacrifices a bit more
    2
  1689. Nowhere do I state otherwise...
    2
  1690. Yes :)
    2
  1691. Those countries underwent a very different system of colonisation.
    2
  1692. Nope, that's why we have ppp per capita, for example, or figures showing that 1/3 of children in Africa are malnourished.
    2
  1693. In about 4 months.
    2
  1694. Because everybody is greedy, it doesn't need to be mentioned
    2
  1695. It's not relevant to the Nuremberg Trials, though. Hence why I left it out
    2
  1696. No. That didn't remotely help it at all
    2
  1697. I can't send a link because those comments get deleted. Gonto Google scholar to find scientific articles about it.
    2
  1698. Thank you! :) It still doesn't feel real to me...
    2
  1699. Hi, I would like to recommend you this really interesting video about the Nuremberg Trials! :D
    2
  1700. They did consider doing it in Luxembourg, however, it was considered a kind of 'poetic justice' that this regime ended where it started. :)
    2
  1701. No. It was wayyyy too early to tell whether China's transition would work or not.
    2
  1702. yes it is source: https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/gdp-per-capita-ppp?continent=africa
    2
  1703. At every place in Germany where I worked, people drank beer during worktime, though.
    2
  1704. Seeing as we aren't in close proximity, this website I'll have to do in showing you exactly what is gay: pornhub/gay Have fun!
    2
  1705. Once this earns me the money to buy a better mic (current one was about 80 Euro), I will! I am not satisfied with the sound either
    2
  1706. neither is the rest of the world...
    2
  1707. SHOUT IT LOUDER!!!
    2
  1708. Because a command economy is an extremely inefficient system. That's also why China had a famine despite being able to produce sufficient food.
    2
  1709. The reputation of a single content is real. People do see Africa as a single country. Which is why I stated it was false the sentence afterwards, as you pointed out yourself
    2
  1710. You're welcome. I will add the song in the description later :)
    2
  1711. F
    2
  1712. Source?
    2
  1713. Armaria*
    2
  1714. Then so many people wouldn't be starving.
    2
  1715. That's why I didn't use gdp but ppp. And even in ppp, the vast majority of Indian are poor.
    2
  1716. There is no evidence that supports this. Larger countries have tried similar programs which worked quite well. Afterall, their model was based upon German and US models in the late 19th century.
    2
  1717. Over 50% of the world right now is out of poverty. At every point in human history has a majority of people been living in poverty... Until now. And that is thanks to capitalism. While yes, unrestricted capitalism is obviously bad (e.g. Slavery, pollution, extortion of workers, etc.), creating a healthy capitalist economy means everybody will be better off.
    2
  1718. That is also not true, though. Looking at Poland, their real gdp is larger today than at any other time in History. As well as the ppp per capita. If looking at the Baltics, Latvia has the same increase. While they both suffered after the collapse, they had similar gdp or ppp in the 2000s with the peaks in 2019. So no. Capitalism has worked for them as well. It's countries such as Ukraine and Belarus which suffered the most. And they are the least capitalist countries.
    2
  1719. That will get demonitised. It was my original idea for an april 1st video but I decided against it because of money. Maybe in the future
    2
  1720. No
    2
  1721. I wish I would have finished the video in time for April :(
    2
  1722. It will be about why India is still poor, similar to the video shot African poverty video.
    2
  1723. Scope*
    2
  1724. Yes. They did. The USA refused and they couldn't get out elsewhere at the time. Oil was as important to them as it is to us today. Industrialisation would cease, food couldn't be transported anymore, it would have meant the collapse of Japan and its empire.
    2
  1725. They were largely unaffected
    2
  1726. We already made a video on the Ottoman Empire.
    2
  1727. From what we could tell, the north is not fertile enough for a horde to survive. They simply were incapable of controlling that far north.
    2
  1728. While the goal of aba is often good, the method is horrid. If this video didn't explain that well enough then there is no way for me to word it in such a way that a neurotypical would understand. Even if it wouldn't be abusive for you, it is very abusive to us.
    2
  1729. At no point have I said anything of the sort nor have I made any judgement aside from the 'toxic ideology' comment.
    2
  1730. I both hate you and love you at the same time.
    2
  1731. There is no truth to that. There is no geological evidence for that
    2
  1732. Maybe
    2
  1733. His grandfather. But he wasn't sent to court, though.
    2
  1734. Great to hear! I highly doubt patreon would become that successful, although it would be awesome. Being able to hire someone else so I could make twice the amount of videos would be amazing! That's the dream.
    2
  1735. You might have a video that a lot of people watch but after 30 seconds people are bored and leave. My video on the history of amputation, for example, has quite high views yet on average people play only 30% of that video
    2
  1736. ... Well... I haven't heard this one before...
    2
  1737. The entire video is the answer.
    2
  1738.  @MrDutchJefff  Daar heb je helemaal gelijk in. Maar ik ging van de laatste nationale verkiezingen uit, Maar je hebt helemaal gelijk. De VVD heeft 1 keer competitie en BBB is meteen de grootste partij. Dat laat denk ik wel zien hoe rechts-stemmer denken over de VVD.
    2
  1739. I asked my Russian friend how to properly write 'Russian' in Russian. When I asked about the capitalisation she said it wasn't necessary. So I'm so incredibly bias against Russians that I ask them how to spell Russian words properly and follow their instructions...
    2
  1740. These videos are created using peer-reviewed articles and articles from respectable news sources. No primary collection will be performed because that might include personal biased on my part, which I try to avoid at all time.
    2
  1741. Weed grows much better than mushrooms. Weed is a plague in parts of the world.
    2
  1742. well, thank you for leaving a comment. that really helps this video reach more people :)
    2
  1743. The world hasn't "moved on" at all. Russia is being imperialist right now. Africa is still poor from European colonialism China's Century of Humiliation is a major driving force of their current foreign policy The middle Eastern conflicts are directly linked to European colonialism France today still tries to control its former African colonies through shady means to this very day. The world hasn't moved on and it never will unless the long term ramifications of colonialism are finally fixed. It's not a coincidence that nearly all poor countries were colonies and the only ones that managed to get out of said poverty did so in service to a larger power who needed those countries developed for their own reasons (e.g. South Korea to show to the world or was more effective than communism in North Korea)
    2
  1744.  @bennruda11  That's not a bad idea. I will add it to the list
    2
  1745. It went from a 3rd world country to a 1st world country in just 100 years after independence. Even today with all it's economic issues, millions of people choose to flee to Greece for a better life.
    2
  1746. The night is young and the devil laughs. Come, let's put another drink (if memory serves me right). It's from the song Tanz mit mir from Faun
    2
  1747. Thank you for your kind words
    2
  1748. I hope in April, but probably in May :(
    2
  1749. It's not about blaming the EU but about how if Greece didn't join the Euro they never had the ability to abuse their own financial systems :)
    2
  1750. Mali Empire* But damn, I never realized that Marley is just a slight mispronunciation of an existing country :o
    2
  1751. Where did I use the wrong flag?
    2
  1752. I would like to, but I think that would get demonitised :(
    2
  1753. Such as?
    2
  1754. Because as stated in the video: the technology did not yet exist to profitably wage war on another continent with intact countries.
    2
  1755. It also didn't exist in Europe. As stated in this video: Europeans did try to invade Africa a couple of times and each time they were defeated by the local navy. Seeing as you clearly didn't even watch the video, I won't be replying any more after this comment.
    2
  1756. It also didn't exist in Europe. As stated in this video: Europeans did try to invade Africa a couple of times and each time they were defeated by the local navy. Seeing as you clearly didn't even watch the video, I won't be replying any more after this comment.
    2
  1757. No I didn't. He wasn't a defendant at this trial. He was sent to a different one
    2
  1758. I don't have an opinion of Turkey at all... What are you even taking about?
    2
  1759. With love from Russia - huma huma
    2
  1760. Nein.
    2
  1761. Maybe.
    2
  1762. Ketchup is great. Tomatoes are not.
    2
  1763. Hence why I have 3 main reasons :)
    2
  1764. Everyone depends on everyone else. Dependency is not a measure of wealth. Lots of poor people are dependent on government assistance, for example. Yet that doesn't automatically make them rich.
    2
  1765. Well, they occupied Bajor so I understand.
    2
  1766. The Berlin conference was in the video
    2
  1767. No. It started mellenia ago :) Even if you want to be very pedantic about it, Australia joined the global trade network centuries before this happened.
    2
  1768. Nice!
    2
  1769. Most of my videos were partially made while high :D
    2
  1770. A single CFC destroys more than one ozone molecule though. In the words of the great philosopher Stephen Rocks: "Fact check"
    2
  1771. Yeah... It is now. Which is the whole point of this video. But not back then when it was used in common appliances
    2
  1772. If you watched this video, you'd know that isn't true
    2
  1773. This video isn't about ww2, hence why I didn't talk about stuff like that
    2
  1774. I think you're confusing central planning with government investment. Those are not the same. Centrally planned economies have the government control almost every part of the economy, while in most countries today the government will simply direct investments towards certain projects, letting people decide how to do so on their own.
    2
  1775. Weird kink, but okay.
    2
  1776. This video isn't about the breakup of Yugoslavia. We have a whole other video just for that topic if you want to watch it
    2
  1777. ;)
    2
  1778. Source: https://www.wur.nl/en/newsarticle/Dutch-export-of-agricultural-products-exceeds-90-billion-in-2018.htm If you're going to 'correct' the information in my videos then at least research the topic first.
    2
  1779. In German, yes.
    2
  1780. I made the mistake of watching it in a library without realizing that children might be accidentally watching it along with me. It's indeed not suited for the squeamish :)
    2
  1781. The fact that you know it's true changes how you watch it. If this was in a Saw movie then you wouldn't be too bothered as that would mean the bodies are fake, the suffering are just actors, and everything would be filled with CGI. But this video is real. Those bodies were people with love as complex as ours. You can infer the suffering from the bleak surroundings. That makes it a lot less comfortable to watch than fiction. And it's especially unnerving when you consider that the political landscape before WW2 is being reproduced in the same countries who suffered so much under those regimes and this scenario might be repeated within our lifetimes.
    2
  1782. Maybe
    2
  1783. I'm going to make a video about the Tokyo Trials soon as well. Probably after the Aztec series is done.
    2
  1784. Graag gedaan
    2
  1785. No. I don't want to focus too much on WW2. There are other, better YouTube channels who have already covered that topic indepth.
    2
  1786. I just checked. The Armchair Historian made a video on it. I suggest looking up his video as he's usually pretty good.
    2
  1787. I might add that to a future poll
    2
  1788. Where is this hidden? It's in my video, it's all over the news, it was the major part of the blm protests in Belgium How is this hidden?
    2
  1789. Thank you for telling me we don't exist.
    2
  1790. How so? It was almost prophetic
    2
  1791. Probably yes
    2
  1792. This video isn't about the USA. So the USA's capitalism wasn't mentioned in this video.
    2
  1793. Before industrialisation, every country was poor.
    2
  1794. This video is about the breakup of Yugoslavia, not about ww2...
    2
  1795. True. This map projection isn't the best. We have switched to a new one, but that's still not perfect.
    2
  1796. If you succeed, I'll make a video about you too! :D
    2
  1797. The reason European powers talked about how they would improve African lives was as a PR campaign. Telling your citizens you're going to murder a bunch of people over ore isn't a winning strategy.
    2
  1798. Most Germans weren't nazis. Most people were forced into service.
    2
  1799. Indeed. And 2 more autonomous regions. Hence 8 regions in total.
    2
  1800. @Love78787 yeah, that's what I was referring to. There was simply no need to go into detail on the subject. We did that for the breakup of Yugoslavia video
    2
  1801. Get drunk faster.
    2
  1802. :'(
    2
  1803. But those people would have been 50+ at the time, with most of the population being born after ww2. I did want to put in a section on why racism/ethnic hate exists from a psychological point of view, but this video was taking too long to make
    2
  1804. "I hate random people because their grandfather fought my grandfather" This isn't how people work.
    2
  1805. Honestly, I'm way too high to answer that question :D
    2
  1806. All my videos are made at least partially high (except for the EU videos)
    2
  1807. No you don't have to love anyone...
    2
  1808. She published before the iron curtain went up
    2
  1809. I have 3 degrees in business and economics and I can say the second is definitely not true.
    2
  1810. It's not mentioned because its irrelevant. The reason for the invasion was not the main subject of the trials. Also: Poland was (re)created after 1916 :)
    2
  1811. Nope, too big of a topic
    2
  1812. After Bakhmut there will probably be another Bakhmut. and another one after that. and another one after that. Seeing as Russia has to spend so many troops on this one, I doubt the Russians can keep this up before they run out of bodies to send into meatgrinders.
    2
  1813. Those people we the leaders of their country at the time of the Berlin Conference
    2
  1814. Should it, though? 10s of millions were being raped, killed, and surpressed. That ended after ww2. It also gave rise to decolonisation in East Asia. This made the lives of millions of people MUCH better.
    2
  1815. Already working on it
    2
  1816.  @andrewpritt8739  I've removed the spam. now only the original one is visible :)
    2
  1817. You're not taking inflation into effect. 6 billion today is worth far less than it was back then.
    2
  1818. Pok isn't controlled by India... I don't show propaganda maps in my videos.
    2
  1819. Because who would want to fight a war against the Soviet Union. It was unconquerable.
    2
  1820. I'm not a leftist, though...
    2
  1821. Then income inequality wouldn't be so heavily related to one's ethnic background... Nor would people in boat be refused migrant status...
    2
  1822. Why? :)
    2
  1823. This is a tactic north korea does every couple of years: all of a sudden they want to be everybody's friend in exchange for money. Then they find out the rest of the world won't give them money unless they give up their nukes, and then north korea recedes again. The pr campaign of 2017-2019 want anything new or special. It's a thing north korea does every couple of years
    2
  1824. At no time did I say otherwise...
    2
  1825. Maybe
    2
  1826. This video hasn't been online long enough for you to know whether this video is a lie or not...
    2
  1827. So you want to cure her for your own benefit... That's messed up.
    2
  1828. Autistic people do communicate but we communicate differently. It's extremely offensive to say we don't communicate. Just as it's hard for us to understand neurotypicals, so too is it hard the other way around. But autistic people do communicate, even if it's nonverbal
    2
  1829. No. They had floating farms. And they were only around from 1300-1500, so also no on you dates.
    2
  1830. OKAY BUT WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING!?
    2
  1831. It annoys me too... This is something so small yet so silly to get wrong :(
    2
  1832. This video isn't trying to make North Korea look good. I simply didn't want to cover things about North Korea which most people already know.
    2
  1833. Good.
    2
  1834. Tarrifs have never worked for anything except building domestic industries to later compete with the outside world. As a means of improving the economy in any other way it is an utter. They are too easy to avoid or extremely damaging to domestic consumers.
    2
  1835. The early data that was being collected, as mentioned in the video.
    2
  1836. No... We didn't have ozone detectors yet in the middle ages.
    2
  1837. me and my gf were talking about buying kebabs when I wrote this :D
    2
  1838. That is true, yes :)
    2
  1839. So they could rapidly defend against an invasion to give time to the national for a counter attack.
    2
  1840.  @rahuln8605  India was more industrialised than Europe before colonisation. The textile industry sold to customers all over the world, for being the best and cheapest.
    2
  1841. They got their own tribunals.
    2
  1842. The Africans did have a navy. Europeans rarely led successful slave expeditions into Africa because of those navies. The Europeans bought slaves at legal markets
    2
  1843. That will get demonitised :'( That was my original plan for the April 1st video. Maybe next year... if I'll earn enough money that I won't need to worry about demonitisation anymore
    2
  1844. No. For creating the system leading up to the atrocities.
    2
  1845. Yup. German efficiency is a myth
    2
  1846. They can barely even get a government together... So nevermind getting reparations...
    2
  1847. The Belgians... Which is what the op was talking about
    2
  1848. I'm not putting our denying responsibility. In my videos I show cause and effect. I don't think my audience needs to be told where to put blame On a side note, I find this interesting because I get A LOT of comments complaining how I put all the responsibilities on European and not Africans :/
    2
  1849. They had governments: confederations, kingdoms, empires, etc. They didn't have a state, but at that time only China had a state.
    2
  1850. Nobody here is talking about socialism...
    2
  1851. Here is the main research article I used to make this video: https://digitalcommons.wou.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1171&context=his
    2
  1852. Netherlands*
    2
  1853. While you are curve about them being educated, the level of education is far lower than it should be, though
    2
  1854. History Scope doesn't cover wars.
    2
  1855. That is the crux ansata, which is the ancient Egyptian symbol for life
    2
  1856. @agonyaunt6325 yeah that was a bot. I banned the account. There are a lot of them this time.
    2
  1857. I just watched his video about the USA becoming a dystopia (I think that's the one you're referring to). This is EXACTLY why I had to put "healthy" in capitalism, because the USA is neo-Liberal and neo-liberalism has never worked anywhere in any country at any moment in human history.
    2
  1858. Hey murica and spartan creeper.
    2
  1859. nope, the part on the bottom right would be smaller if it were slovenia :)
    1
  1860. the USA is democratic and yet has seen many wars and 'conflicts' in the last 70 years. The same applies to many other democracies in the world. although you are correct, no democracy has ever declared war on another. It is worth noting, however, that the EU is an impetus for non-democratic countries to become democratic in order to benefit from the EU. I would hope that, as such an army is made up of several countries, Europe won't use their 20% of the world's military to wage war elsewhere. It would be a terrifying idea, indeed. the fusing of rich countries seems to fail so far with Brexit. While in order to maintain the peace, a fusion of France and Germany is indeed required. I made a video about how the EU works. generally speaking, any country, not matter how small, can veto EU policies. Think of Macedonia's accession into the EU which is blocked by Greece simply because Greece doesn't want Macedonia to have the same name as a region of Greece which also called Macedonia. On the council of ministers every country receives 1 vote. meaning that the 14 smallest countries can block any proposal on which the 14 largest agree.
    1
  1861. more skye!
    1
  1862. No.
    1
  1863. Combination of native witnesses after the conquest, archiology, codexes, and accounts from conquerers
    1
  1864. Yes, but remember: Germany. Will. Be. United.
    1
  1865. Faun - Tanz mit mir
    1
  1866. That wasn't relevant to the trials, however. If he did anything significant during those days then I would have. But the other things he oversaw were far more brutal.
    1
  1867. :'( well come back!
    1
  1868. The people who spoke those language were no longer a large portion of the American population.
    1
  1869. That's the flag of British India, not India
    1
  1870. Ffs Artemis... What are you even doing here?! :D
    1
  1871. I asked my Russian friend how to spell it and this is what she sent back. Having lived in Russia for a few months, I did not think capitalisation was required. Was I wrong?
    1
  1872. No I didn't... It's just not that relevant to the subject at hand
    1
  1873. No
    1
  1874. Arawak* That was the name of the Cuban tribe.
    1
  1875. So it broke up for the very reasons I described... But those are also false at the same time... Got it.
    1
  1876. Lots of star trek and video games
    1
  1877. Classical music never fails
    1
  1878. At no point do I say anything to the contrary, though.
    1
  1879. Roos from accursed farms. You might have hear of him, he is the guy behind stopkillinggames.
    1
  1880. Not relevant to the subject at hand
    1
  1881. As an example, China is also green :)
    1
  1882. Probably not. The colonies have always been mismanaged. Rather than improving the colonies, they usually adapted the colonies to service the homeland. So instead of building infrastructure to help internal trade, they instead made infrastructure to export to the home country.
    1
  1883. The same arguments could be made for Europe and Asia's lack of connectiveness: the entire siberian plains couldn't connect to the rest of the world, himalayas made trade difficult, etc. Vast areas of Europe and Asia were not connected to the major trade routes. "why are other places on Earth that were much more heavily colonized for far longer so much richer?" See the video for that answer :D
    1
  1884. At the time, Germany wasn't really part of the western world imo
    1
  1885. Why did they make you angry?
    1
  1886. This video wasn't about the creation of Turkey, only the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire. So we didn't add that in
    1
  1887. The difference in that argument is that the soviet government would have to give access to that food. Which it didn't. Which is the whole point.
    1
  1888. I didn't say peaceful, i said a few words before that are important.
    1
  1889. YouTube will kill the channel. And I like having a YouTube channel that people can still watch. And the flag was used by the military during WW2 :)
    1
  1890. Yes. Yes it was.
    1
  1891. How did Africans lack unity? They had vast empires, kingdoms and city States just like Europe, Asia, and the America's... So what makes you think Africa was less united? Afterall, Asia has as many nations as Africa used to have before colonisation
    1
  1892. No. I was just too lazy to draw so many stars. I had already made the other two flags before for a different video.
    1
  1893. When talking about a region being poor, it refers to the people who live... Not the resources in the ground. Hence why I didn't put "Africa people" in the title because its obvious.
    1
  1894. On YouTube? Hell no!
    1
  1895. 10 times in this video
    1
  1896. Alright, I won't.
    1
  1897. It's not missing. There is that small part to the right of Greece! :D
    1
  1898. It's not convenient, it's simply how economies are classified. Socialism is something completely different. And your explanation of China is exactly what makes it a mixed economy, rather than socialist.
    1
  1899. Everybody sold slaves.
    1
  1900. Who knows, maybe by this time next year that will seem like a very few subs, the same as 5k seems low to me now but high last year! :D
    1
  1901. Yes. I like to put in a few jokes in every video but I try to make sure they're not detracting from the overall content. Hence a rather subtle joke here :)
    1
  1902. And what is wrong with it exactly?
    1
  1903. Maybe
    1
  1904. I love how some people call it a communist dictatorship, others say its run by capitalists... How come europhobes can never agree on what they're against? :/
    1
  1905. Hey! I only say it once per minute on average! :o
    1
  1906. 1. That would increase cost. 2. Then you wouldn't be able to make use of the rich soil
    1
  1907. That was not intentional :D
    1
  1908. Imagine having to hear it every time you speak... My life is basically a horror story for my ears.
    1
  1909. +
    1
  1910. The gdp and ppp per capita figures of the governments of those countries.
    1
  1911. Do keep in mind that determining someone's death is difficult. Steven Hawkins was told he had only a short time to live... He lived for over half a century after that diagnosis. You can be in ill health for 24 years. But yeah, 24 years after receiving a life sentence is better than what people get committed of life sentences for petty crimes
    1
  1912. That's what I wanted to do first, but Imo this sounded funnier
    1
  1913. Capitalism is an economic system where trade, industry, service, etc. Are in private hands. Meaning anyone can own a business regardless of their (lack of) association with the business they own. Whether a country trades or not isn't relevant. What matters is ownership.
    1
  1914. Sorry for taking yet another break. Unfortunately at the time I had a big project for my school to finish and the past couple of months I've been writing a thesis. But that's done now, so I'm back to making videos again! Next one should be up tomorrow
    1
  1915. Except it did, such as when it invaded Cuba or threatened war with Japan in order to open new markets. Or that time it joined a world war in exchange for opening up those foreign markets.
    1
  1916. This video is about the breakup of Yugoslavia, not Serbia. Hence no Kosovo. Atrocities are mentioned. But thanks for the comment.
    1
  1917. Yugoslavia's last two republics separated in 2006. Kosovo in 2008. Wars are boring so I don't cover them in any detail on this channel. This is a history channel, not a tactics channel. Just as I didn't mention every other conflict in yugoslavia, so too did I not cover this one. Because it didn't have a significant enough impact on the breakup of Yugoslavia.
    1
  1918. I did mention that when I said a lot of bad things happened... I didn't go into details because this video wasn't about the wars, only the breakup itself. The wars deserve their own video.
    1
  1919. Can't make him by name on YouTube... So yeah
    1
  1920. You don't need a poor person for that at all. With automation everybody can live in wealth.
    1
  1921. And those who have adopted automation have been lifted out of poverty. And resources are virtually unlimited. Humans haven't even used 1% of Earth's resources, let alone the solar system or galactic neighbourhood.
    1
  1922. Finland. More is being mined atm than at any other time in history. And the pushback on automation is not relevant as its not grounded in facts.
    1
  1923. Wat?
    1
  1924. I know
    1
  1925. Having poor people elsewhere doesn't make Africa any less poor
    1
  1926. The hostile comments are removed immediately. People can either behave or be gone. And YouTube recently started removing the worst of the comments.
    1
  1927. Because he wasn't dead at the Yalta Conference. He discussed the state of the world after the war... But he did that in February 1945 in anticipation of winning the war as both Germany and Japan were losing. Roosevelt died in April of that year.
    1
  1928. What do you mean?
    1
  1929. So there are no starving people in Africa?
    1
  1930. At the time, that Poland was a new country.
    1
  1931. From Russia with love (I think)
    1
  1932. No
    1
  1933. If someone sees this video and come to the conclusion that slave traders are innocent middlemen, then they haven't been paying attention. As for the rest: I mentioned all of that in this video.
    1
  1934. :'(
    1
  1935. I didn't miss that part at all. See my video on South Korea for more info
    1
  1936. Good point. I meant that the sugar would then be used in Europe for the creation of various alcohols.
    1
  1937. G E K O L I N I S E E R D did I do it right?
    1
  1938. Source?
    1
  1939. So slavery didn't exist? Got it.
    1
  1940. I don't hate the UK.
    1
  1941. You are correct, but those were much smaller armies. The main force was destroyed by typhoon.
    1
  1942. I don't have a lisp, ffs
    1
  1943. Yes.
    1
  1944. He was at the end. We even made a drawing of him
    1
  1945. Thank you
    1
  1946. You can know by listening to me: that is ataturk
    1
  1947. It colonised it for centuries, from China to India to Vietnam
    1
  1948. because it's too expensive if you're not rich.
    1
  1949. No. This is a few centuries after that
    1
  1950. I didn't want the YouTube algorithm to kill this video so I made it as abstract as possible. My next video will have a cute devil in it :)
    1
  1951. Shush :p
    1
  1952. At the moment it's about double
    1
  1953. I don't hate.
    1
  1954. We already made a video about that
    1
  1955. See the sources for "real history books" :D
    1
  1956. Death was not the goal, only the by product. I think my audience is smart enough to understand that.
    1
  1957. The walls of Benin, the first person to cross the horn of Africa was from Ethiopia, timbuktu is filled with said historical artifacts, etc. We simple never hear about them. But no, they didn't invent space travel in the 15th century, unfortunately.
    1
  1958. Yes to both
    1
  1959. Exactly
    1
  1960. That happened much later The period talked about in this video on that place simply didn't have enough Europeans for such a massive undertaking. Keep in mind that the reason genocides occurred in the 17th century onward was because most native populations were already decimated by disease in the 16th century
    1
  1961. I'm sorry :(
    1
  1962. Interestingly enough, my next series will be on the Aztec Empire. I will undoubtedly discuss the hydro engineering of their civilization :)
    1
  1963. Most people didn't go to university... So having a university didn't change the education for most people.
    1
  1964. It's in the description.
    1
  1965. I didn't say it didn't have any history, but that a lot of people think it doesn't and that that view is simply wrong :)
    1
  1966. Not of one talks about multiple groups of people. Then it's peoples. As it's the case in this video :)
    1
  1967. No blame was given to anyone or anything.
    1
  1968. You didn't watch my latest video did you?
    1
  1969. Mars has wind. We lost a rover due a storm last year :'( Rip Opportunity
    1
  1970. That's why I'm usually really quiet :D
    1
  1971. Ich bin Du bist Er/sie/es ist Wir sind Ihr seit Sie/sie sind
    1
  1972. thank you!
    1
  1973. Do you have a peer-reviewed research article to back up that claim?
    1
  1974. So... No?
    1
  1975. ... 'no' would have been sufficient.
    1
  1976. You do understand that it's a highly theoretical plan, right? And that the reason for it is that all North Sea and Baltics countries are about to fold in the next century?
    1
  1977. Then nobody would die from starvation... But they do, so poverty exists.
    1
  1978. 1. We are not friends 2. The official map of India is propaganda because it includes territory which isn't under Indian control 3. This video isn't making fun of anything.
    1
  1979. Next video topic: The History Scope Trials Explained in 15 Minutes :D
    1
  1980. We have an election literally this week...
    1
  1981. "it's the people who are poor" That's what generally meant when staying a region is poor...
    1
  1982. I didn't name those people because a country isn't just ruled by a single person. It's a system of millions of people. So just making one person would be silly, hence I takes about the government. It's also not relevant to the collapse of the USSR, so talking about it would be a waste of time. As for the lennin bit: this video isn't about him. So your critiques are irrelevant to the subject at hand.
    1
  1983. ... Well okay then
    1
  1984. You're the first
    1
  1985. Why?
    1
  1986. As with all religions, it was likely used more a system of control than that the rulers actually believed in all of it.
    1
  1987. We can never know for certain. And if course several of them were honest believers based on statistical probability alone. But religion was a powerful tools used in a lot of places, so its likely the Aztecs were no exception. We do know, for example, that the Mayans used religion as a means of control. So it wasn't unknown in that part of the world in that period. So it's very likely, but not certain
    1
  1988. I'm not planning on covering any wars. But if you want a good video then Feature History did a good video on the 7 years' war (that's how we call the war in the rest of the world) :)
    1
  1989. I've already taken care of quite a bit of static in my newer videos thanks to better editing skills. And my voice sounds monotonous and aggressive in real life as well... It has caused several issues throughout my life :D I am going to buy a better microphone, though. But right now I'm saving all of the money from these videos to get a dedicated animating computer to make these videos faster :)
    1
  1990. That's good news, that means more History Scope videos on this in the future!
    1
  1991. No
    1
  1992. Source?
    1
  1993. That wasn't the Netherlands, as the country didn't exist yet back then.
    1
  1994. I said "in a healthy capitalist economy" What you are describing here isn't healthy capitalism.
    1
  1995. What's so anti communist about this?
    1
  1996. I would really like to. But that gets demonitised
    1
  1997. Yugoslavia was quite decentralised, though
    1
  1998. Maybe.
    1
  1999. The USA doesn't have healthy capitalism... Which is why I specifically stated it needs to be healthy. The USA is becoming less and less competitive.
    1
  2000. This source explains it in more detail. https://trialinternational.org/latest-post/mamoru-shigemitsu/
    1
  2001. I did talk about it.
    1
  2002. Because you can always turn the sound down, but you can only turn it up to a certain amount.
    1
  2003. Hence why there is the option to turn down the volume
    1
  2004. You can turn the sound of your own device to 1% and the sound on YouTube to 1%. If 1/10.000th is still too loud then there is nothing about that that I can fix
    1
  2005. And then it wouldn't be loud enough for other people. Hence my original point: you can turn it down to 1/10.000th, but you can't turn it up beyond 1. So too loud is better than too soft, because the latter can't be solved but the former can easily be solved
    1
  2006. Ps, the guy who insulted you has been removed from my comment section. He can still comment but nobody will see it anymore except hinself
    1
  2007. The USA entered ww2 due the Bretton woods system. It attacked Japan for coal ports It went to war in Korea to keep the Asian markets. So yes: USA went to war to increase profits.
    1
  2008. True. It only affected India for a few years, so I decided to cut it out in the end.
    1
  2009. Thank you, that is very nice to hear! :) My next video will be about Tulip Mania
    1
  2010. Because that's part of the African nationalism
    1
  2011. 9 times*
    1
  2012. I dare to do it, because it's accurate: gdp per capita is only 2000 dollars. That's poverty. When over 1 billion people live in poverty, it's one of the poorest regions in the world.
    1
  2013. OK
    1
  2014. No it's not. Because it ignore WHY that corruption exists in the first place.
    1
  2015. I had to cut it in the end :(
    1
  2016. Except, as stated in this video, Africa was on par with Eurasia. The idea that Africans were more tribal than Asia or Europe were, comes only from racist historians who never researched African history properly. Afterall, let's not forget that the longest fortification want the Chinese Wall, but the Walls of Benin. To name but one example
    1
  2017. With tribal I meant living in a tribal era society...
    1
  2018. I used the English spelling for the name, similar to how Munich is written differently in German :)
    1
  2019. I don't put blame anywhere
    1
  2020. It's not a joke. I'm just really really really terrible at spelling. I had to draw this instead of copying it from a file that has autocorrected it for me :)
    1
  2021. Thanks mom. I'll get right on that. Especially because I don't have a lisp... But sure. Thank you for the diagnosis xD
    1
  2022. 1. I clearly stated that slavery existed and that the ottoman and Atlantic trades changed that slave trade. 2. The largest landmass is Asia, not Africa. 3. I don't put blame anywhere 4. The food part was included in the African Socialism section.
    1
  2023. 1. I don't blame anyone, I state cause and effect. 2. So what? 3. I don't blame anyone, I state cause and effect. 4. I did state the reason: industrialisation was seen as preferable because food production was seen as a low income job and the countries wanted to transition to high income jobs. This is all in the video.
    1
  2024. He means in total GDP, rather than per capita. South Africa ranks 3rd in Africa in overall size of the economy
    1
  2025. Got it, the iron curtain didn't exist at all.
    1
  2026. Except it did have walls as part of the iron curtain.
    1
  2027. Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow. Leader of Turkmenistan
    1
  2028. I did clearly state the external influences and the systems of neo-colonialism left behind by their former colonisers.
    1
  2029. In my video I disfiguring mentioned neocolonialism as the major factor why African countries are facing such difficulties getting rid of leaders and system that don't work for the country. I really don't understand this criticism, tbh
    1
  2030.  @mats8131  nou zeg, wees eens niet zo gemeen
    1
  2031. You really think Germany did not spend a lot of money on the military in its first century? Do you really think the USA was paying for German protection in 1914?
    1
  2032. :o really?! That's amazing!
    1
  2033.  @joekoka1426  How come they were shown in class? Out of all the geographical topics to cover, polders seem rather minor compared to mountains, how landscapes are formed, or tectonic plates. I love to hear that my work is shown in classes (this is one of those moments I need to pinch myself to see if this is real, as mentioned in the video), but I'm curious why that video in particular was shown? :)
    1
  2034. 1. you can't domesticate a zebra. 2. you can't "figure out wheels" without lubricants and sub-saharan Africa simply didn't have any materials that was easily available for that purpose... the wild boar isn't native to that part of the world. Please stop saying such uninformed things.
    1
  2035. No. We're just not going to focus only on China.
    1
  2036. The USA became rich by forcing foreign markets to open up... But they didn't do that in Africa, though. The USA model was only applied to Asia and the America's.
    1
  2037. I was born a few days after it became two countries, so that's not possible :)
    1
  2038. I'll make another video like this in about 6 months :D
    1
  2039. I actually never realized that I said it wrong. I think I conflate 'stand right in front of' with 'right before his eyes'... I will try to work on that :D
    1
  2040. It did! I lost count on how many legs were harmed in the making of this video :D
    1
  2041. You better! :D
    1
  2042. And when I say BC people complain I didn't put the E in there. I'll do it the way I want to and ignore criticism like this
    1
  2043. I have multiple degrees in the subject... So yeah, I know what I'm talking about. Austerity doesn't work during a recession. Hence why the depression came to an end when that policy ended in almost every single case.
    1
  2044. Except I didn't say that... I said that talking the people away, instead of using their skills, caused economic stagnation...
    1
  2045. Well, this comment section got kinky all of a sudden...
    1
  2046. I wish I lived in one of those... But that doesn't answer my question though. So how come the best countries are social democracies?

  2047. Well, this is going to make a nice community post.
    1
  2048. Maybe
    1
  2049. Even the richest African country has a vast amount of poor people due to high income and wealth inequality. Hence why countries like South Africa are still developing countries.
    1
  2050. They were merely the reason for everybody to rebel. I don't mention this in the video, but the Aztecs were not the first to reach such dominance and then collapse under its own weight. From Teotihuacan until the Spanish, every large empire has fallen due to the process I describe in this video.
    1
  2051. What?
    1
  2052. He's also a good in Hinduism.
    1
  2053. Where did I teach Hinduism in this entire video?
    1
  2054. No! Huitzilopochtli! :p
    1
  2055. I will cover that topic at some point too :)
    1
  2056. When any attempt at entrepreneurship is squashed by a government who has a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, it not unreasonable to lose that part of your culture.
    1
  2057. Most countries don't have a trial by peers. Random people arent as good at determining innocence or guilt as much as judges who trained and worked their whole lives are.
    1
  2058. Actually not. Many high ranking officers 'dissappeared'. The fanaticism was very very strong in some people, meaning other people would often be afraid of their lives.
    1
  2059. Germany will be united
    1
  2060. Yeah it was, but 1942 the gdp was higher than before... Or are you saying that people right now are poorer than in 1930?
    1
  2061. Both are appropriate. Trust me, ich spreche Deutsch.
    1
  2062. 1.16.3
    1
  2063. Japanese imperialism
    1
  2064. Nobody said West Germany built it, though.
    1
  2065. I was quoting Gorbachev... Hence the quote on screen...
    1
  2066. I have a couple of degrees in business and economics. So everything in this video is correct :)
    1
  2067. High praise, thank you!
    1
  2068. If that's what you understood from this video then you weren't paying attention
    1
  2069. Now. That was Mexico
    1
  2070. The sources are in the description
    1
  2071. ... I made a while video about that... I even specifically mention it in this video that I made a video about that
    1
  2072. No. Germany has no military able to conquer its neighbours, Germany is losing more and more % of economic World power due to the rise of other nations (e.g. India, China, etc.). Germany isn't ruling over the EU either, otherwise Brexit wouldn't have happened and Germany wouldn't get outvoted so often at the council. The myth that Germany is trying to dominate is just that. A myth. If they wanted to they could do quite a lot of politicking to take more control in finances and take a stronger military stand against Russia to get Eastern EU on its side by making them dependent on their military backed by a giant industry and economy. But they are not.
    1
  2073. Damn straight they did!
    1
  2074. Because 1. Everybody does that 2. The scale is smaller than what other nations do 3. It's too recent for historical analysis. I said all this at some point in tge video.
    1
  2075. Because of the high level of poverty. Maintaining poverty is expensive, because a group of people need to be cared but are unable to pay the taxes needed to pay for such services. So the rich pay for the poor, but they have too many poor people. If South Africa managed to lift those people out of poverty, the country would flourish
    1
  2076. Immigrants are an economic benefit, not deficit.
    1
  2077. And on average it's a benefit in every case.
    1
  2078. The USA literally has colonies in the Pacific right now. They were only anti-colonial in the sense of being anti European colonialism in the americas
    1
  2079. 1:13 Maar waar is het IJsselmeer gebleven?
    1
  2080. The quality over quantity will always be maintained. But that doesn't mean I can't make some things faster. If I can illustrate a human 20% faster then that means the video is out an hour earlier, for example. At the moment I'm working on making a system on how to make the videos. For example, how to integrate the audio with the visuals. I can't run them in the same program, which is very very frustrating. So I need to write down when each animation needs to happen. So I recently created an excel file that immediately calculates how many frames each animation takes. That reduces errors and had as the result that the first Aztec video only took 28 days to make instead of the usual 30.
    1
  2081. Gamma rays do get through... Ozone only protects again uv b.
    1
  2082. They didn't try to sabotage the dam.
    1
  2083. Please don't. The achievement is that of the people who actually made this, not people who coincidentally share the same nationality as those who constructed it.
    1
  2084. Well said.
    1
  2085. They weren't selling their own people, though.
    1
  2086. Thank you! I hope to do a new video within 1.5 weeks... I've currently been doing videos once per month but I'm trying to bring it down to 3 weeks and eventually 2 weeks. So my goal is 10 days but it might be 17 days... :)
    1
  2087. Even the guy who was put in a concentration camp himself for being viewed as a threat to the nazi regime?
    1
  2088. I did talk about him
    1
  2089. Truman want at the Yalta Conference... One simple Google search would have told you that
    1
  2090. Because I had adjust drawn a representation of an nx-01. Originally I wanted to put a Dyson Swarm or O'neill cylinder... But I didn't know how to draw them in a recognisable way. So I stuck with the NX Class
    1
  2091. Could you name a single freedom the EU has taken away? And the EU did a lot for average people: by linking the economies of euros, they made it impossible to go to war as countries were too dependent on each other for vital resources. It also saved tax payers billions by combining various national agencies together to remove duplicate organisations. It has made travel between countries easier. Etc. The EU also isn't that big. The average large city has a higher administration cost than the EU. Making it the cheapest government per person in modern history.
    1
  2092. They had an army between them and anyone trying to arrest them.
    1
  2093. So have the nordics, yet they are the wealthiest. And many Christians in Africa is poor. Christianity is not a good economic model.
    1
  2094. I literally uploaded a video about that last week...
    1
  2095. Thank you! My new video is nearly ready and should be out this weekend. Nice bloody, cannibalistic, human sacrificing Aztecs. It's going to be amazing!
    1
  2096. Hence the sarcasm dripping from my voice
    1
  2097. We got a badass over here :D
    1
  2098. I already am. How do you think I make these videos!?
    1
  2099. When the topic of US warmongering comes up its almost always in terms of losses. How the USA hasn't won a war since China joined the Korean War.
    1
  2100. Not relevant for the breakup, so not in the video. It falls under ethnic tensions
    1
  2101. I might
    1
  2102. We generally avoid talking about war. In the grand scheme of things it's not as important as larger societal forces such as sociology, economics, politics, etc.
    1
  2103. Oh damn!! I had no idea. I am very good at whether to use 'less' or 'fewer' but I never knew 'amount' also works that way. Thank you! I will try to improve this is my writing
    1
  2104. So you just ignore those statistics? Eventhough your job as a therapist is to understand autistic people and help them, you ignore potential Ptsd in the people you're supposed to help?
    1
  2105. Post traumatic stress syndrome is post traumatic. So how can you even know that it's happening if you only look at the current stress?
    1
  2106. Aside from North Korea, none of those are monarchies because rule isn't hereditary.
    1
  2107. We don't know yet. Science hasn't advanced enough to know the cause of autism.
    1
  2108. New video will probably be out by the end of February or beginning of March
    1
  2109. It's not wrong, it's the territory India controls
    1
  2110. 2 things. 1. They intermarried with the local population. Unlike the USA where a person's value was determined by skin colour, in most Arab places the value was determined by religion and thus didn't have the same separation of skin colours as we see in many other parts of the world. 2. Many were castrated and didn't have offspring
    1
  2111. You haven't even had enough time to watch the video yet! :D
    1
  2112. No. I only do history.
    1
  2113. Hieroglyphs, Osmanya, Ge'ez, Phoenicians, Arabic, etc The idea that Africa didn't have a written language and don't have history was created by Europeans who had never seen an Africa or had been to Africa or had studied Africa. Please stop spreading it. To give an interesting example of African History: the walls of Benin.
    1
  2114. I don't have sponsors xD
    1
  2115. I also don't have an Inca video :D
    1
  2116. I'd like to, but I didn't find one for them.aybe a trial for other famous warcrimes, such as in the former Yugoslavia
    1
  2117. Because before industrialisation poverty was common across the world. This is such a generally known fact it's not worth mentioning.
    1
  2118. Also, Africa did have infrastructure and enterprise... Please open a history book on the subject or click on the sources in my video.
    1
  2119. India only needs to keep up their 6% growth rate. This should be relatively easy for a country as underdeveloped as India. If they wouldn't make any mistakes this growth rate would be far higher.
    1
  2120. Source?
    1
  2121. I translated the messing, not the words.
    1
  2122. Plus, this is how star trek did it! :D
    1
  2123. This video isn't about native Americans
    1
  2124. For most of its history, the ussr had food. This is like looking at the great depression and therefore concluding that capitalism doesn't bring wealth.
    1
  2125. The spelling errors are because I'm just stupid when it comes to spelling. I don't need weed to fuck up spelling
    1
  2126. Yeah... That's why I barely mention the usa...
    1
  2127. Pointing out others are just as bad isn't denial. Parity with the holocaust isn't good in any way.
    1
  2128. Ireland's GDP is growing the fastest of any rich country. It's not being plundered... Those large corporations would simply set their business up elsewhere. Hence, its the rest of the world that is seeing a decrease in revenue from tax havens, not the tax haven itself.
    1
  2129. I've got better things to do than to tell that to those people...
    1
  2130. India isn't part of this video
    1
  2131. Were a history channel so we don't cover current events. And because the topic takes quite a heavy toll on me mentally, it will take a while before we do another tribunal video
    1
  2132. Warriors would sometimes eat their captive after their hearts were ripped out
    1
  2133. Because that sounds like a lot of trouble for just one planet when they're are trillions out there. If aliens would want resources we would see planets and stars dissappear around us through strip mining and starlifting. It's like a mining company convincing an anthill to give them their resources. It would not be worth it.
    1
  2134. I know. I would have still eaten it though
    1
  2135. I never said India was a Chinese puppet state...
    1
  2136. Oh wow, I didn't know that :o
    1
  2137. Such as?
    1
  2138. So the ice age never happened? In billions of years the earth never changed in its climate? How is that even possible?
    1
  2139. Yeah... Because scientists are totally saying that... Absolutely...
    1
  2140. Why should they reject science?
    1
  2141. I don't understand how that's inconsistent: they had a workable economy, then their people were sold off to work somewhere else with different job (unlike European slavery where people stayed on the land they were assigned to). And when those people left the industry collapsed. Then they relied on slavery as their main export, until slavery ended and the African States had nothing to sell anymore and the economy collapsed, allowing Europe to colonise them as the Africans lost the ability to defend themselves.
    1
  2142. It did so multiple times
    1
  2143. It took a while until they turned into those states. 1991 =/= 2020
    1
  2144. Such as?
    1
  2145. no i don't...
    1
  2146. Thank you. Now we need 6.66 million. You are making that happen with every view. I love you, you magistic sausage
    1
  2147. Yes. Move along, nothing to see here.
    1
  2148. I meant the territory currently located in Cambodia
    1
  2149. Yes.
    1
  2150. See my sources for more info
    1
  2151. But I like butts :'(
    1
  2152. There is no blame in this video... Wtf are you talking about!?
    1
  2153. I tried to put a unique spin on it. It's this what you were expecting?
    1
  2154. The video hasn't gone public yet
    1
  2155. That's in the video...
    1
  2156. Working on it :)
    1
  2157. this video isn't about why Africa is being exploited, though. that answer is too simple for a 40 minute video :D
    1
  2158. Daylight sensors*
    1
  2159. This video isn't about ww2, it's about the breakup. This video doesn't put blame on Serbia...
    1
  2160. Depends on how they are executed. Many multiethnic societies lasted for centuries
    1
  2161. Yes. 41.4% of the viewers of this video are Dutch.
    1
  2162. No. Many African colonies were better off under colonial rule. A good example is Ghana which was far richer under colonial rule. Colonisation basically made it impossible to have functioning states in many parts of Africa... So when Europeans left, vital skills left with them. As a result, many African countries often destabilised, went into civil war, or became barely manageable. The fault lies with the European governments who created a system in which they would hold dominance over Africa well after independence.
    1
  2163. We're currently working on a video about the Yugoslav tribunal. You guys might want to keep an eye out for that. It delves much deeper into what happened during the war.
    1
  2164. Myself...
    1
  2165. That's one of the weirdest flexes I've ever seen...
    1
  2166. I don't paint
    1
  2167. I was talking about the government...
    1
  2168. This video isn't about ww2, so no, I didn't forget.
    1
  2169. I made a whole video on chocolate. The Europeans were the first to create chocolate. What you're probably thinking of is a different cacao based consumable.
    1
  2170. Maybe
    1
  2171. We will do a colonisation series after finishing the decolonisation series. For the next poll we will include one on the rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall of russia And cinisisation will be part of the China series
    1
  2172. When talking about native Americans the same applies s with Africans. And today native Americans in the USA are one of the poorest ethnic groups, many of whom lack access to electricity. When you destroy institutions for stability, your country will become unstable. Unstable countries cannot develop as much. On top of that, the US model for economic growth couldn't be applied to African nations.
    1
  2173. Africans have been displaced ever since colonisation: they were forced to leave fertile farmlands, whole tribes were worked to death, they were evicted if they couldn't pay high taxes, they were mutilated for not working hard enough... Please open a few books on African history before spouting such nonsense in my comment section.
    1
  2174. No. Not at all. In none of my videos am I going to be discriminating (or otherwise be mean to) other people. I, personally, have gotten asking great with many French people and find them no less trustworthy than other peoples
    1
  2175. People are able to sneak out of countries like north korea with some of the tightest border control in human history. Imagine how much easier it would be before modern technologies.
    1
  2176. fixed it. You can find it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731#Activities
    1
  2177. It didn't... There were hundreds of empires, city States, and other countries all over Africa
    1
  2178. This video isn't about western powers... So there was no point in bringing them up.
    1
  2179. I'm sorry :(
    1
  2180. I'm sorry :(
    1
  2181. See my video about it: Tokyo Trial Explained
    1
  2182. Those things weren't mentioned because it isn't relevant to the subject at hand. Being worked to death was relevant as it perpetuated the slave trade.
    1
  2183. Yugoslavia abandoned various socialist part of philosophy, though. Such as allowing various market forces.
    1
  2184. Good point. You're the first to point out out. What I was going for was that it was on a larger scale and more organize than most genocides... But my wording for it was incorrect. I'll keep this in mind for future trial videos. Thank you.
    1
  2185. Was that a pun? :D
    1
  2186. THANK YOU! I didn't make this distinction because it would take too long to explain and my audience probably aren't a lot of economics nerds. But that is a very good point. Thank you. I love you!
    1
  2187. I would LOVE to do a video on that tbh
    1
  2188. When people are still starving, that region is poor
    1
  2189. I never said otherwise, though... So what's false about it?
    1
  2190. The comment section is full with... Wtf are you talking about?
    1
  2191. As far as we know, yes. At least on such scale
    1
  2192. This video isn't about WW2, though...
    1
  2193. I'm not a professor nor did I refer to any professors in the video.
    1
  2194. I like how you think people who love democracy focus on America... We don't...
    1
  2195. Because this is about the Nuremberg Trial, not about scientists.
    1
  2196. Also: the Soviets weren't capitalists...
    1
  2197. I didn't think I had to make that clear... Because in a population of millions its logical to have outliers
    1
  2198. When did I ever say I believed otherwise?
    1
  2199. Almost entry developed country has better infrastructure than the USA, though
    1
  2200. That's not true. The world after WW2 was very different than the 1870s. Imperialism was the norm while freemaket capitalism was uncommon. So choosing to have a free market economy in a time where imperialism was the norm would mean that a small economy like Japan wouldn't be able to gain the resources it needed. When Japan had to choose between the two systems in the 1930s it was unable to change because ending imperialism had never ended well for any country, at the time. In a 2019 economy you'd be right, but Japan chose imperialism in the 1870s.
    1
  2201. nope. I based it on this: http://www.clker.com/cliparts/f/x/y/r/f/g/cartoon-virus-md.png It is quite a common way of drawing viruses
    1
  2202. If that is the conclusion you come to after watching my video then that's up to you. I never said anything of the sort in my video nor does it ignore such techniques.
    1
  2203. Eww, I don't eat gum
    1
  2204. I think I got that one from Wikipedia
    1
  2205. I have already covered that in my EU video covering the failures of the EU. While migration crises in general would be a very interesting topics, a particular one in recent history has already been covered enough by other sources. But comparing the Jewish migration from Germany in the 1930s (and others throughout history) with the modern day one would be rather interesting, for example.
    1
  2206. yes.
    1
  2207. No. It's my accent. Where I'm from we overarticulate certain sounds (k, s, f, v), but the words themselves are said without 'spaces' between them. In my newer videos I am articulating better although I still need improvement :)
    1
  2208. Victor Orban
    1
  2209. Then how come so many people are starving?
    1
  2210. What hairbrush yesterday that changed things?
    1
  2211. No.
    1
  2212. That is indeed a good question and they will be addressed in a future vide. This video is meant to be part of a series. This video is purely on the topic of German reunification. The Berlin Wall is mentioned only because it's the catalist for reunification, it is otherwise far less important to the matter at hand. This video can stand on its own, but the topic of the Berlin Wall, and thus the Reagan speech, will be covered in future a video. Why didn't I make it a series to begin with? Personal life got in the way of the video's release coinciding with Berlin Wall anniversaries and I want my production value to increase before I tackle an issue as important as the Berlin Wall and how it affected the live of those who were affected by it. Your questions are currently being worked on as I slowly write the rest of the series :)
    1
  2213. OK.
    1
  2214. There is a YouTube app for people who make videos. I get notifications on every comment made under my video :)
    1
  2215. We already made one
    1
  2216. This video isn't about people's opinions of the trial, but about the trial itself.
    1
  2217. It's a tribunal. Of course the verdict isn't unanimous. I explained that in the video.
    1
  2218. This video didn't absolve anyone and explains the process you talk about...
    1
  2219. I tried finding any evidence of blood wine, but I couldn't find any :( So if you can ferment blood you will get an honourable mention
    1
  2220. I would quote what he wrote in it so you'd understand, but YouTube would immediately delete that comment because of the demonic depictions of what they considered 'undesirables'.
    1
  2221. Hearing that from somebody who is neutral almost makes me believe it :D
    1
  2222. See my video for the answers
    1
  2223. That would be far more costly
    1
  2224. 1 video every 3 weeks
    1
  2225. See contact info on my YouTube page
    1
  2226. Yes. It is mentioned at the end of the video. A flooding occurred in 1953. I also talk about it in my video about Dutch land reclamation
    1
  2227. There wasn't an army willing to invade the Soviets just to arrest him.
    1
  2228. Everybody does that, though. I mean, I've gotten ads for the US election living an ocean away.
    1
  2229. Hence "barely"
    1
  2230. Chocolate is better than food.
    1
  2231. No. I do history only
    1
  2232. Which one?
    1
  2233. Not relevant to the breakup, however. But I would LOVE to do a video about Yugoslavia. I will make a poll in my next video what topic to cover next. Yugoslavia will be an option.
    1
  2234. They changed the name after the breakup. So I'll use the name used at that time
    1
  2235. If people get that message from this video, they didn't pay attention :D
    1
  2236. Because I'm bad at spelling and made sepperate video for the polders
    1
  2237. It was removed multiple times.
    1
  2238. you think forcefully putting people on a train to a concentration camp isn't evil?
    1
  2239. I looked up the Oxford definition (as I write in British English): "the act of forcing somebody to leave a country, usually because they have broken the law or because they have no legal right to be there" It appears I used the wrong words while writing the script. My apologies.
    1
  2240. Best comment. 7/5 for sure.
    1
  2241. No. That hasn't got anything to do with history. And it's still too early for a historical perspective.
    1
  2242. That was the point I was trying to make: they should have stopped it from their own geopolitical objectives. But they couldn't. France's failure to keep Scotland independent led to it eventually losing its status as a superpower to the British.
    1
  2243. There were a lot of important movements. The one in the Baltics was just one among many. Hence why I mentioned a lot of different movements in different countries without focusing on any one movement in particular.
    1
  2244. It was definitely in an earlier script but I limited myself to 40 minutes to maintain my sanity. So I had to cut quite a bit and decided to focus more on the politics in the USSR rather than the human chain, for example.
    1
  2245. Because of the gay free zones Poland is creating >:(
    1
  2246. They were likely not tens of thousands. As stated in the video, this was likely exaggerated by the Aztec leadership. And even of there were that many, they would have been able to cremate or bury the bodies.
    1
  2247. Both are allowed in english
    1
  2248. No. Algeria want independent at that moment.
    1
  2249. They were not decolonised so I don't mention them in this video.
    1
  2250. No, that's my normal voice :)
    1
  2251. The reason for the focus is that it only got worse over time. They had festivals where they would cut the hearts out of thousands of people. The origin of this religions is important to mention as it dictated a lot of their future policies
    1
  2252. Then it's good not to continue watching... This video isn't very nice because the people in that region were quite brutal.
    1
  2253. Nee, du bist nicht allein.
    1
  2254. It's also grammatically incorrect though :)
    1
  2255. But we're history scope, not Contemporary Scope. So we didn't cover past the 90s
    1
  2256. I DID NOT FORGET ITS IN THE VIDEO. AND WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?!
    1
  2257. It's in the description of my channel :D
    1
  2258. By having a low ppp per capita
    1
  2259. She is actually based on a friend of mine :D
    1
  2260. Nope
    1
  2261. If it was such a sinking cost, as you say, then how come so many people could get rich from trading, sugar production, etc? If the colonies were unprofitable, how come so many people made a profit?
    1
  2262. "Subsaharan Africa never had any empires" 1. Mali Empire 2. Ghana Empire 3. Songhai Empire 4. Kanem-Bornu Empire 5. Sokoto Caliphate 6. Jolof Empire 7. Oyo Empire 8. Benin Empire 9. Kaabu Empire 10. Aro Confederacy 11. Ashanti Empire 12. Kong Empire 13. Bamana Empire 14. Wassoulou Empire 15. Kongo Kingdom 16. Luba Empire 17. Lunda Empire 18. Zulu Kingdom 19. Maravi Empire 20. Rozvi Empire Here are just 20 empires I could find with 1 google search. "you can't have an empire without the wheel and a written language" The Aztecs didn't have the wheel yet had an empire. I made a video about that, if you're interested. As the great philosopher James Spacer once wrote: "A bit more intellectual honesty would be highly appreciated"
    1
  2263.  @jamesspacer7994  Because they were an extensive group of states or countries ruled over by a single monarch, an oligarchy, or a sovereign state.
    1
  2264. We could just as easily conclude that autocrat like using communism as a veil to fool the people. No country has ever serioauky attempted communism. Therefore we cannot make conclusions on its effectiveness And based on your comments you don't really know what communism is either. In a communist society you have a decentralised government structure, for example. Not a massive government like we see in China, Europe, or the USA.
    1
  2265. England accent?
    1
  2266. I'm actually planning to do a video on the criminalisation of weed... And not JUST. focus on the USA like many others but look at why there was a near-worldwide ban on the substance.
    1
  2267. Large ships. The pylons were hollow meaning their weight compared to the water was much lower.
    1
  2268. I know right! He sounds fucking horrible!
    1
  2269. Aber ich bin kein Englander :(
    1
  2270. No. It doesn't.
    1
  2271. Why are you randomly SHOUTING IN YOUR comment?
    1
  2272. We're going to put that in a future video
    1
  2273. The sentence right after states why that reputation other people have of Africa is wrong
    1
  2274. They are not absolute monarchies so they weren't included in the map
    1
  2275. The USA doesn't even have a left leaning party, let alone a communist party. Both parties are highly neoliberal. Which is quite the opposite of communism.
    1
  2276. So now you're saying they are fascist... Communism and fascism are two completely different ideologies. One is extreme leftwing while the other is extreme rightwing. By your own account, they would be a highly pluralistic party
    1
  2277. Those are 3 words.
    1
  2278. The ussr was a command economy, not a state capitalist economy. It didn't have free enterprise
    1
  2279. Where did I make that assumption in this video?
    1
  2280. A poll came to that conclusion. Not I.
    1
  2281. I'm sure my audience is smart enough to extrapolate that conclusion, hence the title :)
    1
  2282. They weren't on trial. So no.
    1
  2283. Working on it!
    1
  2284. It's the internationally recognised map of India...
    1
  2285.  @DerDop  GDP PPP matters for determining the economic potential of a country from a purely internal perspective. So if country A produces 10 cars for 100 dollars each and country B produces the exact same cars but for 1000 dollars, then both countries have produced the same products, but for a different price. In very simple terms, this is why GDP PPP matters: It accounts for the fact that the same (type of) products can have a different value in different countries because of different currencies. China's currency has a much lower value that the Euro or Dollar, meaning that even while China produces more than the USA or Eurozone, the total value China produces in a single year is lower on the world market. Why is it relevant for the war in Ukraine? It's not: Russia's industrial and economic potential (measured in GDP PPP) is roughly 5-6% that of the EU and its allies (USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, etc.). On top of that Russia relies on gas, but you can't make tanks out of gas. So it doesn't even show the war potential of Russia in any way.
    1
  2286. Yeah I skipped over this part because I wanted to get into the economics straight away. We will go into more detail when we cover the Chinese dynasties
    1
  2287. When people say it's free, they mean you don't have to pay upon use. The word 'free' has several definitions:)
    1
  2288. The comparison was limited to 2014, before the conflict.
    1
  2289. I never mocked them for using coco... Wtf are you taking about?
    1
  2290. From just 10 times? :o
    1
  2291. Africa was never communist...
    1
  2292. Carlos has been banned for the racist remarks.
    1
  2293. They took resources themselves, they didn't steal them, they forced the local population to work for them. So yes, Africa is poor... Otherwise starvation wouldn't be an issue over there anymore
    1
  2294. Because he wasn't important for German Reunification. His speech is famous but wasn't very impactful.
    1
  2295. Then it wouldn't have been poor enough to receive food aid, if what you say is true
    1
  2296. Wheelbarrows are made of men in the Netherlands? Well... That's unique...
    1
  2297. They weren't... They bought them at African shave markets. It wasn't until the 19th century that Africa could be invaded... And the Ottomans were too weak at that point.
    1
  2298. Do you have any concrete evidence for that? Most of German's history lacks such behaviour.
    1
  2299. India is neither atheist nor satanic... The main religion is hunduism... Which is neither of those things
    1
  2300. Then other equally irreligious countries would have had the same transformation. But they did not
    1
  2301. North Korea
    1
  2302. That's all nice, but India's ppp per capita is still so low that it's poor.
    1
  2303. I thought she meant the 5 seconds of the rainbow flag... The spectrum is used to show that autism is also a spectrum.
    1
  2304. They were mentioned in this video, though
    1
  2305. Because of the Gaben meme
    1
  2306. YES! This is EXACTLY the feeling I have every time someone posts such nonsense on this video!
    1
  2307. It's based on the bonesaw from TF 2 and from Fallout 3/New Vegas ;)
    1
  2308. I meant the land itself :D
    1
  2309. Then that is still up to the individual countries. The EU can under no circumstances intervene in national politics unless all countries agree to it. All it can do is kick out member or suspend voting rights in the EU institutions if they do not uphold certain values they agreed to (e.g. Independent judiciary, which is why Poland is indicted) So who can and cannot vote for parliaments/senates/etc, even on EU level, are determined by individual countries.
    1
  2310. Germany gets outvoted on euro matters too often to have actual control over it
    1
  2311. That's why I put in "with some places"
    1
  2312. My ass doesn't have braces.
    1
  2313. The war has already turned, though. The USSR was already assured of victory.
    1
  2314. Eventually I want to combine all the China videos into 1 giant video. And I will re-record all the lines with zhoa in it to get them right next time
    1
  2315. This is a history channel so we did indeed stop the research in the 1990s. We don't have enough historical context for the 21st century to know what was and wasn't important so HS videos usually end by the end of the 20th century.
    1
  2316. :'(
    1
  2317. Don't worry, my new video only has it once! :D
    1
  2318. China has a system similar to that... It's a dictatorial hell hole...
    1
  2319. China has a mixed economy. What you describe is a mixed economy. And what you describe is how China controls its economy. Hence, I'm correct.
    1
  2320. Even with my degrees in business and economics I have no idea what point you're trying to make. We're also not talking about fruits... So we're done here.
    1
  2321. Nope.
    1
  2322. Shorry , i cantsh
    1
  2323. Well, I'm going to assume it has a lot to do with the 'part 1' and the great thumbnail the Nuremberg video has (my gf came up with that one). So I am using the series to perform 2 tests: 1. Once it's finished I will put all the episodes together and upload it as 1 long video. 2. In a few weeks YouTube will bring out a live click through rate for videos. Then I will make several thumbnails and see which work best. I'm hoping this will lead to quite some views as there isn't a good video out there explaining the whole Aztec history in this detail, except for generic documentaries.
    1
  2324. yes.
    1
  2325. Which trial?
    1
  2326. Do you have a suggestion? I've currently run out of good ideas for my for videos. I do have a few more series but I'm looking for more one-video subjects. I considered the Delta Works but it's a topic that has been done to death and you can find much better videos from actual engineers on that topic. So I don't think I can add anything new. Therefore, I'm looking for suggestions :)
    1
  2327. That was after the Yalta Conference
    1
  2328. No we will be the end of water.
    1
  2329. With love from Russia - huma huma
    1
  2330. It took me a looooooong time to find it as well
    1
  2331. Africa is not a country.
    1
  2332. That's where I got the song from. It had been stuck in my head for years and I only recently found it again after listening to all the songs in that movie :)
    1
  2333. I named Germany because it invaded first. I also said "in Europe" because a case could easily be made that Japan started the war by invading China. This video also isn't about the strategy of WW2 and was thus left as vague as possible. :)
    1
  2334. Yes it was. Google it if you don't believe me
    1
  2335. Which is exactly what I meant in the video.
    1
  2336. Not relevant to the collapse, though
    1
  2337. Almost everyone was poor before industrialisation... What happened after is explained in this video
    1
  2338. Hence this video
    1
  2339. India is also still poor. At the time it was colonised, however, it was one of the least poor regions in the world. Colonisation caused a stagnation in India similar to that of other colonies. Having 1.3 billion people simple means that you can be a global power faster than a country with a lower population. Africa doesn't have this advantage because its not a single country. Otherwise it would have a similar amount of clout as India does today. Colonising Africa for longer is unlikely to have changed the wealth of Africa.
    1
  2340. No, it wasn't. India had a thriving industry.
    1
  2341. Because that affects only a small part of the African continent and is symptom of Africa's situation, rather than the cause.
    1
  2342. Ah okay. Thanks. I'm no longer putting stuff like that in my videos :D
    1
  2343. Because I was curious.that's why people ask questions: or of curiosity
    1
  2344. Sending your troops into a territory controlled by another country is an invasion... Regardless of one's personal feelings of its morality or reason.
    1
  2345. No. This was before free-market capitalism became common. Many countries still had high tarrifs, making trade too costly... I should have mentioned this in the video.
    1
  2346. This is a great comment!
    1
  2347. It was actually beer
    1
  2348. Where did I do that?
    1
  2349. Of you watched the video, you'd know :D
    1
  2350. How can you have evidence of a tribe of 100s (at most) who lived a migratory life over 700 years ago in an area with a great number of tribes? How would you know that any discovery would be Aztec instead of another culture?
    1
  2351. Finland didn't have oil, though...
    1
  2352. I don't cover wars in depth. This is history scope, not tactical scope. The focus on wars in history is weird. Hence why I specifically mentioned the war crimes in general
    1
  2353. Sure... Hence why I mentioned the atrocities. This video is 30 minutes... Of course I don't go into every detail. That's what summaries do. This video is about the breakup, hence why I talked mostly about the breakup and not the war. Once they had broken away from yugoslavia they became footnotes in this video. The war ought to be a while video all on its own... But this video isn't about that so no details in this video.
    1
  2354. I did consider that, but various republics separated afterwards. In hindsight, glossing over such major parts was a bad idea without explicitly mentioning I was going to gloss over them.
    1
  2355. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to cover every nation.
    1
  2356. Nope.
    1
  2357. This is highly unlikely. Very few people lost a significant part of their wealth. The tulip traders were all rich and this was just a hobby to them. Selling tulips was fun and an excuse to get together, drink wine, and smoke cigars. There is no historical data to suggest that people lost most of their wealth due to the crash. So it could be the case, but the amount of 'pilgrim' cases would be very low.
    1
  2358. Tokyo Trial came after this one. Not to mention the various people sentenced for those crimes at the ICJ.
    1
  2359. Rule of Acquisition #9: Opportunity plus instinct equals profit. Hope you will do well on the stockmarket!
    1
  2360. I am at 14k right now. Looks like this video is doing pretty okay :)
    1
  2361. So one person has money therefore 1.2 billion people are rich?
    1
  2362. From just 10 shots!? You need to learn to hold your liquor! :D
    1
  2363. The light spectrum is used to show autism is a spectrum
    1
  2364. If the nordics are socialist, Then how come Sweden has one of the highest rates of people staying new businesses?
    1
  2365. Yes
    1
  2366. Egypt had foreign intervention with the suez crisis, lybia, tnusia, Egypt, Algeria, and Morocco wwrre colonised in some way. Egypt was an important part of the ottoman slave trade. Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria each had dictatorships. Morocco did some foreign intervention in Western Sahara. They are very relevant as well.
    1
  2367. Thank you! <3
    1
  2368. Europeans weren't strong enough with their caravels. So then nobody took slaves?
    1
  2369. Not that I was able to find :)
    1
  2370. Next video will be about that
    1
  2371. Oh damn, I didn't think people would still watch those old videos of mine xD
    1
  2372. Because this project didn't (potentially) deprive millions of drinking water... While the Three Gorges Dam does.
    1
  2373. Yes. Because that's how a lot of people see Africa: a single country
    1
  2374. No. Tell me more :D
    1
  2375. How is it evil for employees to own the businesses they work for?
    1
  2376. You're describing a command economy, not communism, however. What the Soviets did wasn't communism. It was only called so for pr purposes
    1
  2377. Problem solved... my apologies for my tardiness And you better send me good fanmail! You have created expectations! :D
    1
  2378. I said that in the video
    1
  2379. Those colours are actually from Aztec drawings. The Mexican flag was an accident at first,until I saw how good it looked. The Romanian flag is also in this video and I think a few others.
    1
  2380. Is it much worse than the others? I've gotten a new computer and had some issues with it as well... I recorded it in 1080p
    1
  2381.  @Asdayasman  I am working on putting all the 6 videos together. Again: thank you for pointing this out. I am going to redo the conversion so it will be in higher quality. That video should be out within 2 weeks.
    1
  2382.  @Asdayasman  I also have a question for you: I am going to make a video on the history of autism (how the first person got diagnosed to modern day) as well as a video on what it's like living with autism from my own perspective and the perspective of other people with autism that I know. Would you be willing to proofread those videos to make sure I am not confusing my personal experience with my autism? If yes, then please email me (link in the description of this video) or join the Discord server here: https://discord.gg/6FhkySE I will probably make that video somewhere in 2020. I still need to 'collect' more autistic people for the proofreading.
    1
  2383. Nope
    1
  2384. Unlisted. I also use this channel as my portfolio and Islam is the only religion considered too taboo to show to a potential employer. I'm planning on combining all of them into one video and reuploading them on this channel. I just got a new job and need to wait if my colleagues will watch my videos or not... Can't talk about that religion because... Reasons...
    1
  2385. Source?
    1
  2386. I didn't forget... It's just not relevant
    1
  2387. Such as?
    1
  2388. I did
    1
  2389. I'm Spanish?
    1
  2390. But that raises the question why Africa can be so corrupt in the first place
    1
  2391. Source?
    1
  2392. That will get demonitised, though
    1
  2393. It wasn't so much a newspaper as it was a propaganda instrument to invite violence against the Jewish population.
    1
  2394. He did.
    1
  2395. OK... So what?
    1
  2396. I have no opinions in this video :) And my political alignment isn't mentioned in this video either :D
    1
  2397. Hey, me too!
    1
  2398. That was meant to show the attitude of the people at the time, not my personal feelings on the subject.
    1
  2399. Sesame Credits
    1
  2400. Kinda, but only this one time could all citizens vote. Otherwise it was only the nobles
    1
  2401. Mars is full of water.
    1
  2402. I do mention a lot of internal reasons as well, such as the climate, the borders, and incompetent leaders arising from the way Africa is so much more divided than any other continent :)
    1
  2403. And if you listen 1 sentence further you see why I said it...
    1
  2404. If was a joke, not hatred.
    1
  2405. The ussr didn't get into a war with Germany? Oh, I must have misread that part of ww2
    1
  2406. Getting attacked means you're not in a war? Well okay then...
    1
  2407. That doesn't answer the question though
    1
  2408. 1. I'm not trying to minimise anything. I've got more important stuff to do in my life... Such as making new videos. 2. If people want to add random connotations to my videos then that's their problem. 3. This video isn't about ww2. I don't think anyone is going to think that the ussr just got into it out of boredom. If I need to explain ww2 to people then this video isn't for them in the first place. So my audience will get it. And that's who I make my videos for: my audience.
    1
  2409. Since you are aware of how ww2 started. You are indeed my audience. And I do take your critique seriously. I won't do anything about this though, as it was specifically said that way to skip over ww2 as fast as possible, with the assumption I don't need to explain it to anyone who clicked on this video.
    1
  2410. Name of the song: From Russia With Love
    1
  2411. You can now go go to part 2 at the end of the video in the endscreen. It's the one on the right.
    1
  2412. Woof.
    1
  2413. More equality doesn't mean more rights than men... Women still don't have the same rights and treatment as men, unfortunately.
    1
  2414. Glad to hear that :)
    1
  2415. I never said there were only 2 economic systems. But could you name a single rich country before the 19th century, one where people did not suffer famines or where a mahority of a person's income wasn't wasn't on food?
    1
  2416. THANK YOU.
    1
  2417. I said as much about the USA, though
    1
  2418. The things depicted in them were so propagandist that when the nazi party thought it went too far. This wasn't a "news"paper... It was a propaganda machine with the aim of inciting violence against Jewish people and other 'undesirables'.
    1
  2419. It's not that slavery existed, it's that skilled people were exported abroad on such a large scale. Slavery in an of itself isn't detrimental to an economy, a brain drain is.
    1
  2420. It's just a generic tank
    1
  2421. I looked up if there were fewer expeditions but there weren't. I looked at more than JUST economics for Antarctica. But it was completely fine as far as I could tell.
    1
  2422. I wasss a sssnake in my previousss life
    1
  2423. I rarely mention individuals, the decline is explained throughout this video, tarrifs come up again and again. Did you even watch the video!?
    1
  2424. That's actually in the video: how money and political assassinations are used to control africa.
    1
  2425. It doesn't matter, because I'm not that person.
    1
  2426. I thought you were wrong about the flint knife too... Damn, I got put in my place by my own content. Thank you for correcting us.
    1
  2427. I didn't lead any of that out... Of you can't be bothered to watch the video then please don't bother writing a review of it.
    1
  2428. That's irrelevant for the subject at hand
    1
  2429. xD
    1
  2430. Africa isn't a country.
    1
  2431. Lamas as bea. But Extra Credits already did a series on them which is far better. I changed the script when they uploaded their series on the Incas
    1
  2432. If Africa was the richest, they wouldn't have so many starving people...
    1
  2433. Thank you, I love you too
    1
  2434. yes. but why African never got out of it.
    1
  2435. You didn't watch the video, did you?
    1
  2436. Huh... That's actually a really good point you make. The strange thing is that nobody else has pointed it out afaik
    1
  2437. Again: only talkung about the government. This has nothing to do with you
    1
  2438. Of your feelings are hurt by a drawing, you need more secure feelings. Please see a psychiatrist if you choose to become offended so easily. It's very unhealthy
    1
  2439. I like how you guys had a month break in between this argument :D
    1
  2440. Not entirely. The allies still had to approve leniency.
    1
  2441. :*
    1
  2442. 1. Focusing on an industry didn't mean neglecting others 2. The Netherlands focuses on industry and is among the wealthiest nations in the world.
    1
  2443. hello to you too
    1
  2444. That's literally on the video
    1
  2445. The USA ended its occupation
    1
  2446. True, but it did sign treaties with the British, putting it clearly in the British sphere of influence.
    1
  2447. limiting access to competition isn't capitalism... and I pointed out every time India became more capitalist its economy grew. That has been said multiple times in the video. and the more free trade a country has, the richer it generally gets, as long as it has mature industries.
    1
  2448. Thank you! <3

  2449. China is a state capitalist country. This system is, in simple terms, a combination of a command economy and a capitalist economy. In the case of China this means that a private citizens can still own and run their own business, but the government owns around 50% of each large company. In essence, the PRC is a more pragmatic command economy than the Soviet Union was.
    1
  2450. No
    1
  2451. No, it wasn't war. It was their skilled people being taken away and not being able to compensate for this.
    1
  2452. I'm working on it! :)
    1
  2453. The iron curtain went up in the 40s, but she published in the 20 in German in German papers. Meaning that the info was widely available to the other two German-speaking pioneers.
    1
  2454. It wasn't decolonized, so not relevant to a video about decolonisation
    1
  2455. That's because it's occupied territory. The people there are still fighting for their freedom
    1
  2456. No. Too recent
    1
  2457. Wait, why don't you have the verification badge? I thought you were an imposter before I clicked on your channel :o
    1
  2458. Check the description. It's all there.
    1
  2459. The myth is that this was a massive economic crisis, when in reality it was a small bubble between a small group of rich people. This video talks about what actually happened
    1
  2460. I say multiple times that Austrians were part of the German speaking people...
    1
  2461. I highly doubt people would think we'd go from ww1 weapons to gauss cannons (that's what I drew). I placed it to show the point, albeit in an over the top manner
    1
  2462. Except I assure to none of those ideologies... Good job...
    1
  2463. Hi. I'm the one deleting both your comments because they contain personal insults. If you are unable to behave maturely then your comments will be deleted. Calling someone 'scum', 'slimy', etc. Won't be tolerated in this comment section. Behave or be gone.
    1
  2464. Partially, yes.
    1
  2465. It has a courtroom that wasn't destroyed and it had a prison large enough to hold all the defendants :) The Soviets wanted to do it at Berlin but Nuremberg was eventually chosen as it was the birthplace of the Nuremberg Laws.
    1
  2466. No it doesn't... Wtf are you talking about?
    1
  2467. I chose Nuremberg because German names are often spelled differently in English (e.g. Munich)
    1
  2468. Yes :)
    1
  2469. That's the flag used in 1945.
    1
  2470. Is recoginzably Russian, just as the Statue of Liberty is recognizably USA. :)
    1
  2471. That is a good point, though... Although at the same time I don't want it to appear that a government is the whole country. Even in countries with elected officials, most people didn't vote for the ruling party. So I prefer using a more general icon rather than the government. But this has made me think of changing that policy a bit: use government buildings when taking about the government and use the 'general icon' when taking about a country as a whole. :)
    1
  2472. Unlisted :)
    1
  2473. I will repost them as one entire video soon. I a looking for a job and this channel serves as a portfolio. But that topic is so taboo that I decided to unlist for a while.
    1
  2474. You can find out how to pronounce it on my video about the topic :) The ui is a single sound in Dutch as is ij.
    1
  2475. Why would anyone get offended by that random word?
    1
  2476. I'll answer your question after you've shown the common decency of answering mine.
    1
  2477. The Dutch Republic was at war with Spain at the time :)
    1
  2478. And you don't want to know how that happened?
    1
  2479. Yes. He did.
    1
  2480. At no point in the video do I yearly about Finland. If you are referring to the map then you'll notice I included all the allies such as Italy and the territories it invaded.
    1
  2481. Which dam is longer?
    1
  2482. Yes. I already did it 7 years ago.
    1
  2483. Caspian Report did a video recently on French power. You are looking at it from a euro-centric pov, while France relies heavily on its (former) colonies for its geopolitical power.
    1
  2484. No. I sponsored them with a copy of my own
    1
  2485. Uhh, no. That's a book.
    1
  2486. I included nearly all of those things in this video...
    1
  2487. And one sentence later I talk about how silly it is to do so. It was intentional.
    1
  2488. I haven't played Wow, but I know enough about RPGs to know how annoying dying in them is
    1
  2489. The two aren't mutually exclusive
    1
  2490. He wasn't there. According to his Wikipedia article: Guderian surrendered to the United States forces on 10 May 1945 and was interned until 1948. He was released without charge and retired to write his memoirs. Entitled Panzer Leader, the autobiography became a bestseller, widely read to this day. Guderian's writings promoted several post-war myths, including that of the "clean Wehrmacht". In his autobiography, Guderian portrayed himself as the sole originator of the German panzer force; he omitted any mention of his relationship with Hitler and the Nazi regime or of war crimes. Guderian died in 1954 and was buried in Goslar.
    1
  2491. After reading this, I'd LOVE to do a video on the fight against poverty.
    1
  2492. probably within 6 weeks
    1
  2493. No. Russia was part of the soviet Union, not the soviet Union
    1
  2494. I have 4 degrees in business and economics. If there is one thing I know a lot about, its economics. I'm also not a capitalist, ffs :D
    1
  2495. That's how long it took me to go through 4 pages of script :)
    1
  2496. Adobe animate
    1
  2497. What's this in reference to?
    1
  2498. Then you didn't pay enough attention :D
    1
  2499. The difference is between 1 soldier vs a system of human rights violations
    1
  2500.  @uvbe  Fucking hell... thanks for telling me. I'll put this on the 'to fix' list :)
    1
  2501. I created a new pinned comment with a link to where you CAN read it :)
    1
  2502. Reagan was already out of office when the wall fell. It was the massive protests that opened the wall and the willingness of the ussr to not use force.
    1
  2503. I'm not going to reply to everything... I've got work to do. As for your questions... You can find that on my YouTube channel
    1
  2504. There are dark skinned people in the Balkans. I was being inclusive of the people who acrually live there. The skin colours chosen are from famous people living in that area
    1
  2505. No. We are all pastafarians. All hail The Flying Spaghetti Monster!
    1
  2506. We will also make a video about the decolonisation of Europe, including Ireland.
    1
  2507. Because their population hasn't exploded at all. It increased at similar rates as other developing countries. And the more people you have, the larger your labour force, the larger the potential of your economy. And on a continent the size of Africa, the current population is quite low compared to China, India, or Europe. Education has been mentioned several times in this video The migrants aren't coming in the tens of millions. And it's also not a reason why Africa is poor, its a symptom and not a cause. I also explained that the 21st century is too recent for a history video.
    1
  2508. you're correct. But Burma isn't part of Indian decolonisation. They had their own path. I will cover that in another video.
    1
  2509. Liberia was a US colony. As explained on this video: the people saw almost no advantages from the 'development
    1
  2510. In a time before industrialisation, transporting raw materials across seas and oceans isn't economical. No matter how good your leadership is.
    1
  2511. Why? Africa stagnated because most of its best people were enslaved. As a result, when steam engines were invented, they couldn't make use of it. So an African nation would have had to contact a European company to transport materials for them, while the Africans mined the resources and learn modern mining techniques. This was possible. But very very unlikely. It would require a group of geniuses to create this plan while avoiding colonisation in the process. And while it is true that between the end of slavery and the beginning of Africa colonisation, Africa advanced quite a bit in a short time. But they weren't technologically advanced enough for industrialisation. Or an I missing something?
    1
  2512. No. It's Accursed Farms. From the 'stop killing games' campaign
    1
  2513. Okaaaay... How is that relevant to this video though?
    1
  2514. You're absolutely right. But to keep the video short, I didn't go into such details :)
    1
  2515. Their religion wasn't very unique and was a product of their time. Even without it, they're were still other, larger issues plaguing the empire that would have caused its downfall
    1
  2516. Because at the time of writing the EU had 28 members
    1
  2517. Fine! I've received SO MANY requests to do the Tokyo Trials that I can't get around it anymore. Fine, I'll do them too! :D
    1
  2518. I have some uplifting videos too! :o
    1
  2519. Then how do you explain the fact that the happiest countries are the most socialist countries? Such as Sweden, Finland, etc.
    1
  2520. My point exactly
    1
  2521. The gdp (in ppp) per capita figures state India is poor. You can have large infrastructure projects while people live in poverty, they are not mutually exclusively.
    1
  2522. Where is the racism in this video?
    1
  2523. They pumped most of it out. Whatever land still had salt would be washed clean by the rain and then be pumped out again. The pumps are still running today and won't ever stop. Should power ever run out for too long the the polders will slowly flood again.
    1
  2524. I have never shown my face in any of my videos...
    1
  2525. What's an ass video?
    1
  2526. This video is about how Japan got rich, not the current state of Japan. Any history video is going to be out of date. That's the whole point of history
    1
  2527. Except I didn't equate :D
    1
  2528. Eastern Africa had slave trade, as described in this video. Southern Africa was colonised before the slave trade.
    1
  2529. I think you're the first person to notice that
    1
  2530. According to my Steam account I've played about 13 hours of tf2 in my life. I looked up what bonesaws look like and decided to use the tf2 bonesaws as a small joke/easter egg :)
    1
  2531. I'll talk about that more in my next video :)
    1
  2532. "development is slow" Africa has the fastest growing countries atm :/
    1
  2533. I never said that...
    1
  2534. Slovenia and Croatia were the most socialist countries in history and they were just as rich as Ierland at the time they transitioned
    1
  2535. Do other people have this issue? I don't have the issue myself. If this only happens to some people then I know I can't rely on my own hardware. So just commenting whether or not you have this issue will give me more insight into the problem and what not to do next time. :)
    1
  2536. In the middle of Mexico City. The Spanish drained the lake and turned the entire region into one large city over time. That map of the lake is now almost entirely Mexico City.
    1
  2537. I didn't say anything of the sort. I simply explained the geopolitical processes and why people (including African leaders) made the choices they made at that time.
    1
  2538. Because it made the slave owners money
    1
  2539. Yeah... Communism is the reason why France and Great Britain created the current political system in the middle East...
    1
  2540. Please give the exact date and name of the us invasion of Russia.
    1
  2541. You can make the exact same comparisons for the other continrnts: most of Asia is desert, mountain, and frozen wastes. Most of Europe is mountain and frozen wastes, most of the America's are jungles, deserts, and mountains... And Australia is over 90% desert. So singling out Africa for geography common across the world doesn't answer the question.
    1
  2542. It only has 3 :D
    1
  2543. Ushshshshshsha
    1
  2544. No. I've lost the script xD
    1
  2545. The African Union is working on it. The big problem is that internal trade isn't present. So trade barriers have come down in many African countries... And all those countries saw a significant increase in the gdp since then. So now an African-wide free trade zone is being created, while there are also various regional free trade zones. Very soon, Africa will reach a level of growth never seen before in history, with billions of people ( both now and in the rest of this century) being lifted out of poverty.
    1
  2546. Viewers who comment and have a data profile picture. Perfection!!
    1
  2547. Hence why it got its own video :)
    1
  2548. It is actually that press conference which made me decide to make a video about this topic
    1
  2549. It's not a misconception. Having extremely rich people is a sign of massive inequality and thus more poverty. It's one of the main reasons Europe and North America are becoming poorer: the wealth goes to a small group of people, thus making everyone else poorer by creating laws that benefit those extremely rich people, while harming the prosperity of everybody else.
    1
  2550. Because invasions are very cheap, of course.
    1
  2551. I'm sorry! Please don't put me in a gulag!
    1
  2552. Ah now I get what you mean :)
    1
  2553. I wouldn't make videos of I were poor... I would get a regular job.
    1
  2554. I don't give lectures...
    1
  2555. That's true. If Indonesia or Nigeria start growing fast then they could probably outcompete India by 2050. Or who knows, Europe might unite into a single country and develop its Eastern regions to become a new superpower :D
    1
  2556. OKAY BUT ATE WE SHOUTING!?
    1
  2557. Fun fact: this video has no base added to the sound.
    1
  2558. We can. There simply aren't enough people who want that.
    1
  2559. Hi
    1
  2560. Turn on subtitles :)
    1
  2561. Yes. You can turn on subtitles in the menu at the bottom right :)
    1
  2562. I never said anything to the contrary...
    1
  2563. See the video and description
    1
  2564. It's a generic tank. Not based on any particular real world tank.
    1
  2565. You're actually second.
    1
  2566. It's not the history of Korea... It's that of North and South Korea
    1
  2567. The USA is not even remotely communist...
    1
  2568. An extreme right wing party is going to bring on communism? What?
    1
  2569. India doesn't have a monarchy
    1
  2570. Hello!
    1
  2571. Thank you! :)
    1
  2572. Working on it
    1
  2573. I looked into that because it's kinda weird. But I found no further details
    1
  2574. No. There was one between the two countries as well.
    1
  2575. Because I only talked about the continental parts, not the islands attached to them.
    1
  2576. I'm not "afflicted" by it :)
    1
  2577. that's just your imagination :D
    1
  2578. Me too. I had written 9 pages, as usual. But only found out afterwards that the letters were larger, so there was less content. I have fixed it for the video that comes after this, I think.
    1
  2579. That is the good one for that time.
    1
  2580. I didn't say 'done' because in that case I was talking about myself. I think people are smart enough to know when I'm talking about myself, I'm not talking about millions of people.
    1
  2581. That would be an interesting topic. I think that I have enough video ideas for 2019...depending on how quick I'll be. But I'm adding this to the list as it's a rather interesting topic. It would be especially interesting to compare the Tokyo trials to the Nuremberg Trials. :)
    1
  2582. There were likely 1000s of cultures ruined by the columbian exchange :(
    1
  2583. ok, but how come you are everywhere!?
    1
  2584. The difference is whether it came from the top or whether soldiers took out upon themselves. A nation-wide system of human rights violations was seen as far more severe than individual or small groups. Those smaller executions, while still bad, wasn't deemed a crime committed by those in charge. Just as today we don't put groups of people in prison because individuals undertook crimes independently.
    1
  2585. Oh yeah, 8 didn't try to hold back on any of the brutality and horror. Eventhough nothing particularly gruesome is shown, I think the overall tone sells the horror of what these people did... These were obviously not very nice people
    1
  2586. no, they already have enough videos about why their economy failed.
    1
  2587. This video is about none of those things. I hope that makes you happy
    1
  2588. Then how come Germany always needs to find partners, gets outvoted in council meetings and Parliament, or why is EU support at a new high point?
    1
  2589. "too much" =/= "all the power"
    1
  2590. It's a one-time joke in this video only. I realised I overdid it WAY too much in the German Reunification video and this was a small (and only) joke referencing that. Future videos won't have it :)
    1
  2591. your*
    1
  2592. But... But... :'(
    1
  2593. In all seriousness though: thanks for the feedback
    1
  2594. Well, good thing nobody died in Poland during the war... Otherwise such a "reason" would seem extremely hollow.
    1
  2595. See the video on nort and South Korea for the answer
    1
  2596. It's a drawing of George Bush :)
    1
  2597. I love you too :*
    1
  2598. The ppp per capita statistics
    1
  2599. I've actually written that phrase in several videos on accident and edited it out later because people would assume I was meming on purpose :D
    1
  2600. Working on it right now. I'll probably upload it on July 1st
    1
  2601. This video isn't about Nanking, so no
    1
  2602. I copied Google Maps's borders :o
    1
  2603. It wasn't even close to Marxism
    1
  2604. Pizza shouldn't have tomato in the first place
    1
  2605. When you've reached the top you can't go up much more unless we invent new technologies
    1
  2606. African countries have 2 options: take money from the west with little chances of developing while making western companies a lot of money. Take money from China in exchange for a bit of land, with a greater chance to develop their own country. The Chinese option is far better than the Western option.
    1
  2607. I love you too :*
    1
  2608. Go ahead. Just let me know it's you somehow
    1
  2609. They had steam engines.
    1
  2610. Next video
    1
  2611. What do you mean?
    1
  2612. When referring to propaganda it's about how the Aztecs were conquered, not the level of technology... Which is explained in the video
    1
  2613. :'(
    1
  2614. By using something such as a belt or a sheet
    1
  2615. Fair point. It depends on how it's done. The 'standard' method, as discussed in the video, is to break the neck. When that doesn't happen then you get strangled. Technically, strangulation means "to squeeze or constrict the neck", which technically means it can be performed by a noose. But you're right, in casual conversations this would be a bit misleading and I hope people didn't misunderstand me
    1
  2616. Yes.
    1
  2617. At no point do I say "evil attacks" in the entire video.
    1
  2618. Except that happened centuries after the slave trade began. So they didn't start the slave trade in preparation for foreign English colonies centuries after those first slave traders died. By the time native Americans could be driven west, the slave trade was already well established and most native American populations had already been decimated by disease.
    1
  2619. I had to choose between the flag at the end of the trial or the one before. I chose before. although I did call it 'British India' (the correct name at the time) to show it wasn't just a British colony the whole way through.
    1
  2620. The Soviet Union invaded on September 17th, while Germany invaded on the 1st of September. Hence why people commonly marked September the first as the beginning of the second World War, thus attributing the beginning of the war due to Germany's invasion of Poland. A post was not a declaration of war, it is merely an intention of war.
    1
  2621. Ethiopia is landlocked. That limits its access a lot. Algeria, however, has access to the French, and thus the EU, market.
    1
  2622. Wees dan gewoon stil, hoor je het ook niet meer :D
    1
  2623. 2/3 of people are from western countries which are likely to associate 'republican' with the us republicanism. So I wanted to clarify what republicanism means in this video
    1
  2624. "make her"... Wow...
    1
  2625. Good. That'll keep you warm this winter! <3
    1
  2626. I stated so in the video, though
    1
  2627. Even the richest country in Africa has a large number of poor people... So yes, Africans are, on average, poor.
    1
  2628. No, that's not autism. Please read dsm 5 on autism to give a better definition
    1
  2629. True. My friends noted I was less joyful than usual while making this video
    1
  2630. No. It's not hidden :)
    1
  2631. Nobody is crying. Pointing out the effects of colonialism and neocolonialism is acknowledging how the current situation is in place. Afterall, it also took Europe centuries to crawl out of poverty and pointing that out also isn't "crying"
    1
  2632. They weren't present at the trials and Japan had its own version of such trials, albeit to a lesser extent.
    1
  2633. Yes
    1
  2634. Nobody in particular
    1
  2635. :* that's okay
    1
  2636. No. Because liberalism and communism aren't very compatible. Forcefully redistributing wealth is very much against the Liberal philosophy.
    1
  2637. Which is more than 10 million... :D
    1
  2638. Hey hey people, Sseth here
    1
  2639. The water went into the sea and even today there are great pumps to pump any excess water into the sea. This only attributed a small amount to rising sea levels. The water was very shallow. Many countries did this too such as China, Singapore, and South Korea. And with modern farming tools we don't need more land, we can use existing land more efficiently. This plan was before artificial fertiliser and there was a global fear that the demand for food would outstrip the supply. So having more farmland was a good way to secure national security. Today it is far cheaper to GMO plants (such as many Asian and African countries are currently using), irrigate deserts (such as the USA), or to simply import food from abroad (such as the UK). So there is no need anymore due to better technology
    1
  2640. What's an "India map"?
    1
  2641. Actually, super easy, barely an inconvenience
    1
  2642. OKAY BUT WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING!?
    1
  2643. I HAVE VERY GOOD EARS! :D
    1
  2644. I know right, the breakup of the largest country in europe around the same time wasn't at all overshadowing other events in Europe at the time :D
    1
  2645. It worked in Slovenia. It was richer than most capitalist nations.
    1
  2646. They didn't hang the wrong guy. They sentenced him in absence so that once he was found he could be executed immediacy
    1
  2647. Nope, they invaded 2 weeks after the beginning of the war.
    1
  2648. This video is about the breakup. Regardless of that one genocide (among many), they would've fallen anyway
    1
  2649. While you are correct in most cases, when you have more houses than children who will live in them, then all you have is an empty building. And when the price of housing drops below construction cost then the whole industry collapses without external support.
    1
  2650. Then I will have as brod and evil a smile as your profile picture has >:)
    1
  2651. Always fun when people make up weird things about xD
    1
  2652. This thread is why I love my viewers
    1
  2653. Yeah. It was expected the rich countries would pay government debt. Germany and France in particular. But the emphasis in the crisis was on Germany because it at first refused. People expected that of a country goes bankrupt that someone else would pay them back instead. So yes. They expected Germany to repay them if Greece couldn't and they therefore expected Greek bonds in euro to be safe. Greek bonds were more expensive though. Afterall "what if Germany doesn't repay Greek debt". So German bonds were still much cheaper (and still are). But the difference was A LOT less since they got the euro. And bonds are a bit more expensive after the crisis but the difference isn't that much. Europe showed that "we will save the euro. Whatever the cost" is a serious vow from the ECB. So now people know Germany will pay, while before they only thought it would. So now Greek debt are okay again, while Italian debt is not. For smaller countries its less costly to bail out, but the EU countries don't have enough money to bail out a country like Spain or Italy. So their interest rates are higher than smaller countries because they still have severe economic issues but can't be bailed out. So if Italy goes bankrupt then the debt might now be (fully) repaid.

  2654. No.

  2655. You can use diamonds and gold for things people actually want.
    1
  2656. You can use diamonds and gold for a few other things as well... Hence why this video pointed those out
    1
  2657. They didn't sell their citizens...
    1
  2658. It wasn't omitted, it was irrelevant.
    1
  2659. Yes. I read all the comments. I only get a few dozen entry day so it's pretty manageable up until now
    1
  2660. I didn't want to talk for 5 minutes about the difference between a command economy and socialism though

  2661. Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" / Karajan
    1
  2662. Not a lot of people want to play on it anymore and the mods don't want to put in a lot of effort anymore :(
    1
  2663. Maybe it was only just uploaded :D
    1
  2664. Thank you for your self reflection.
    1
  2665. They were not.
    1
  2666. That's underselling non-Europeans quite a bit. Remember that for a long time out was China who did most of the inventing.
    1
  2667. Thank you. I love you too

    1
  2669. The EU didn't exist yet on this time, though
    1
  2670. We literally have 2 videos on this channel right now discussing those issues. The issue isn't that people aren't covering it...
    1
  2671. This isn't about capitalist Slovenia.
    1
  2672. All the documentations about Africa pre 1850s... And the guns in Africa of European design. If you want pictures, Wikipedia has quite a few of them.
    1
  2673. What? That's in the video.
    1
  2674. About 200 hours. Probably more
    1
  2675. I've added the 3 other sources I could find. I made these videos about 6 months ago and am still looking for 2 more sources I used. The top one is in reference to what we talked about earlier. It's in the description.
    1
  2676. Oh no... I wanted it to look like a windmill made of 4 leafs... I did not mean to do that.
    1
  2677. By gathering the information necessary to make such a video. The location of someone's birth does not effect their ability to read sources. Hence why I people can talk about things in which they don't live themselves, such as German Reunification, the Tokyo Trial, or any part of history before my birth.
    1
  2678. Fixed it and thank you!
    1
  2679. Everything.
    1
  2680. It did build up its economy... Wtf are you talking about?
    1
  2681. This is part 3: 1. African decolonisation 2. Antarctic decolonisation 3. East Asian Decolonization
    1
  2682. I didn't say everyone...
    1
  2683. Yes
    1
  2684. Oil wasn't discovered at that time yet. You can't use oil off you don't even know it's there
    1
  2685. Iirc I was taking about the late 19th century
    1
  2686. That was wine :D
    1
  2687. Except they didn't have a socialist government for most of the last 200 years... So that doesn't explain it at all
    1
  2688. His grandfather was never sentenced. So technically he wasn't a war criminal because they stopped the trials early.
    1
  2689. Hi
    1
  2690. How is that relevant? If you're referring to the size of the hole, I compared the km2 of the hole, not antarctic
    1
  2691. Yeah I know right! Imagine having to live with this voice 24/7! :D
    1
  2692. Because no communist society has ever existed and therefore people want to try to make it work... Especially if they live in a command economy telling people they are communist.
    1
  2693. How so?
    1
  2694. What's an underbite?
    1
  2695. And doesn't provide any reason why that is so... Not any references...
    1
  2696. This video isn't about current music countries but about how they became rich. The current status is irrelevant to its historical status for this video.
    1
  2697. The video is about how it became rich, not why it's still rich. I'm History Scope, not Contemporary Scope
    1
  2698. Why fight a war against a country which is unconquerable, while just getting out of a war, to put some people on trial? The cost vs reward is rather skewed, especially when the bodies come home and people wonder why their leaders are fighting a war over a single court case?
    1
  2699. Germany needs trade. It has become too rich to only sell to its own population so it decided to use the EU to get new customers. Its a huge benefit for Germany. Please learn some economics and geopolitics before spouting out such nonsense.
    1
  2700. How about a 21st time?
    1
  2701. I meant the colonies in former native American lands. After independence its territory expanded quite a lot. It did so through the use of colonies rather than outright conquest
    1
  2702. I use generic symbols for stuff like that, suited for a 21st century audience... But I'll put it the right way up next time.
    1
  2703. I only did it 10 times! :D
    1
  2704. The German issue is that it is too big to dominate and too small to be an equal partner. I think I explained that in a previous video
    1
  2705. Yeah no. The soviet union's wealth wasn't in gold. In a command economy, gold is almost useless.
    1
  2706. Watch History Scope: perception +2
    1
  2707. I did. I would have LOVED to analyse the legal legitimacy but, unfortunately, I don't know enough about the law to answer this question :)
    1
  2708. Fixed it, thank you
    1
  2709. Probably not
    1
  2710. That's of nothing had happened.
    1
  2711. I did talk about that
    1
  2712. Sssssssory
    1
  2713. Except I don't say that...
    1
  2714. No. There are enough videos about the USA already
    1
  2715. Neither was Italy. Neither was Romania, neither were most of the places. I thought it would be clear that it's not the annexed regions.
    1
  2716. We are actually going to cover that in a few month in a video about Germany. But in short: while it was rich, each year the average German standard of living went down. So I wouldn't count that as that wealth would have only been temporary under that system.
    1
  2717. STANNIS! STANNIS! STANNIS!
    1
  2718. I'm glad to hear it! :) Did you get here through the Suggested Videos or did someone make a video about my video? :o
    1
  2719. The British Isles were ruled by the British Empire which used the union jack. Hence that's what we show on screen
    1
  2720. Neither is inherently good or bad. People being butchered is also people getting murdered None of that is propaganda
    1
  2721. How would you explain the nordic video I uploaded if I showed capitalism as inherent good?
    1
  2722. Not really. See my EU videos on how it actually works.
    1
  2723. These aren't videogame characters... I would be making videogames if I could do that. As for the childish aspect... I'll leave that up to your own opinion.
    1
  2724. I would like to reiterate that I skipped a lot of things and I also didn't go into whether this was a so-called 'kangaroo court' or a legitimate one :)
    1
  2725. The slave trade is 1000s of years old... No records exist of Africans travelling to or from the America's. It would also beg the question of why those Africans didn't bring African disease the Americas. So how come the Americans didn't have their own versions of thsie diseases.
    1
  2726. Good... Good... Let the confusion flow through you!

    1
  2728. I happened to have to go to my doctor while researching this episode and I asked him the same. From both him and other research sources it appears that while alcohol dulls the senses, it also increases the amount of blood loss during surgery. And while it certainly was used during the procedure, we also have to keep in mind that modern science is only about 150 years old. Most people simply weren't aware that alcohol was an effective pain relief during operations. Keep in mind, for most of western history people though you got sick not from disease but because of an 'unbalance of your liquids'.
    1
  2729. But then I won't sound like Donald trump anymore :'(
    1
  2730. Oh damn, that's horrible :o
    1
  2731. How so?
    1
  2732. And yet the oldest wine ever found was in China... It being discovered in Armenia a few 100 years later does not contradict this video
    1
  2733. It's in my sources. But just for fun I googled it too: oldest known alcohol is Rice Mead, Jiahu, China: 7,000 BCE Google shows you things based on previous searches. If you are as interesting in Armenia as you say you are, it most likely showed you sources with Armenia thinking you'd be more likely to be interested in it.
    1
  2734. I will.
    1
  2735. Someone pointed this out to me a few years ago. I have since then learned to difference between prosecution and persecution. And I have made sure to always get it right from now on :)
    1
  2736. "kohl never got honored" He is the only person to ever get a European Act of State. They created a special type of funeral just for him. Regardless of the rest, they point is incorrect :)
    1
  2737. Maybe
    1
  2738. No. The Dutch don't have a lot of experience building islands. That's more the UAE's thing.
    1
  2739. I did not know that. Thanks.
    1
  2740. Hence the link in the description.
    1
  2741. The only time I called Africa a country was right before taking about how silly it is too see Africa as a single country...
    1
  2742. Sssssssssssssss
    1
  2743. China has been in a slow decline for centuries, with each generation becoming slightly poorer than the next. India was industrialising. This, Indian's gdp was higher than that of China
    1
  2744. no
    1
  2745. Yes. The big geopolitical goal of Western countries is to find new markets for cheap labour and selling Western products. A lot of wars were started over trade.
    1
  2746. Just one? :D
    1
  2747. I didn't say India. I said the first known evidence of intentional alcohol-making was in China. Which is true.
    1
  2748. Thank you, I had forgotten which piece of music I used
    1
  2749. They weren't just a few days, they could be weeks. And in that time they were being approved so that when the holiday was over, the bank was seen as more stable and thus preventing a run
    1
  2750. Yes. They did quite a bit of poldering too.
    1
  2751. Because she is a vampire
    1
  2752. Neither.
    1
  2753. Such as?
    1
  2754. You could be ethnic Albanian and have a Yugoslav citizenship
    1
  2755. Nope, the sentence after that talks about how silly it is too group Africa together. It was intentional
    1
  2756. Because in an idiot :D
    1
  2757. The temple was quite large. It should rhetorically be possible. The priests were said to remove a heart in only a few seconds. If they had 20 teams of priests doing or hearts then it should be possible to do 10 per minute... But that would still be a rather large project to organise. I'm also isoniazid they needed breaks and didn't do any offering at night (when their sungod wasn't visible in the sky). This would mean it needed to be a lot more than 10 per minute. Hence why many historians think far fewer people were killed.
    1
  2758. I have just listened to a recording of him and I can't say I sound like him. But I am glad you liked my video :)
    1
  2759. Nope, wasn't build yet at the time
    1
  2760. I said as much in the video
    1
  2761. What is?
    1
  2762. For some reason, my channel has a lot of sad stuff xD
    1
  2763. Statistics on poverty shows Africans are, in average, living in poverty.
    1
  2764. You're right. But for the purposes of this video, disease alone was enough to break the European class structure in the American colonies
    1
  2765. Caspian Report did a really good video on it :)
    1
  2766. Autistic people people are indeed far more likely to be gay... However , the light spectrum was chosen to show autism is on a spectrum.
    1
  2767. Yup
    1
  2768. Someone was 10 days before you...
    1
  2769. In my video I point out that the system only failed after all those achievements had been accomplished. Hence why I skipped over the time period it was successful, because its successes did not contribute to the collapse.
    1
  2770. Yeah, I'm sorry about this. I should have been clearer about that :(
    1
  2771. That's the case with every country. This economic concept is called comparative advantage.
    1
  2772. It's not... This video gets more views than any other video of mine
    1
  2773. I don't need to acknowledge basic facts... My audience is smart enough to know that themselves
    1
  2774. Why not?
    1
  2775. I was actually contacted by the Indian government telling me they blocked this video in India. We're talking action: from now on we censor India in all videos. I hope that will stop making them angry
    1
  2776. See my sources
    1
  2777. You are currect. I have a video about that too. But just like other communist countries, it never reached wealth. It just had larger economic growth as a poor country as compared to South Korea for a certain period
    1
  2778. Tokyo Trials
    1
  2779. Economic output per capita.
    1
  2780. This video isn't about socialism, though
    1
  2781. Socialism isn't even talked about in this video. Just because African Socialism shares half its name with it, doesn't mean they ate remotely the same thing. And yes. I did my research. I studied economics so well I got 4 degrees in it. Doing anything more would just be overkill :D
    1
  2782. Salaries haven't gone up since the 1980s in almost every developed country. Japan is not an exception.
    1
  2783. Russia had colonial holdings in Alaska...
    1
  2784. Then don't watch it... This isn't so difficult! :D
    1
  2785. A currency is not the value for which people trade, but by which people trade. Hence that argument is irrelevant. As for the other things you mention: most of the rest of the world has it too. Rich countries also have a vast amount of manufactured goods and greater access to resources which is why its richer: higher per capita output.
    1
  2786. I have lived in so many countries that I don't even know myself anymore :D
    1
  2787. The EU can't even get Hungary to honour a treaty with Hungary to uphold democracy... The EU has no 'great power' if it can't even prevent 1 small country from breaking the EU Treaties.
    1
  2788. "after 30 years"... Exactly... After
    1
  2789. I oversimplified it for how they used to do it back then. It was quite a bit easier to make their beer than modern beer
    1
  2790. People do talk about. I go through all the comments and there are a few. But he wasn't relevant to this particular trial. He did not create the system causing all the atrocities. He would have been sent to a different court if he had been put on trial.
    1
  2791. That's too big a topic for me to cover, unfortunately
    1
  2792. Their existence
    1
  2793. I do know the difference. Which is why at a certain point I switched from communism to socialism when that moment came in the video
    1
  2794. Industrialisation. That's how all countries get rich.
    1
  2795. Free trade is not capitalist. Lots of economic systems use it. Marx himself was a free trade proponent, for example
    1
  2796. Did I do all that? Apparently I've been a very busy man.
    1
  2797. No. I also don't give opinions such as 'bad' on my videos. I only give causes and consequences.
    1
  2798. I'm going to use that name for one my fantasy maps! :D
    1
  2799. I want talking about healthcare, but unemployment benefits :)
    1
  2800. I didn't address any of the other people's by their religion, so doing that for Islamic people would be out of place. Hence "middle Eastern"
    1
  2801. Using positive feedback to change a person from their true self to someone appearing neurotypical is still a form of abuse
    1
  2802. Democratically elected by a minority of the people isn't democracy.
    1
  2803. They only got 1/3 of the vote while receiving 2/3 of seats in parliament... That's not democracy anymore. And the fact that propaganda is so prevailing in Hungary, the fact that its leaders are oligarchs, voter suppression, etc makes the idea that Hungary is still a democracy wholly incompatible with reality
    1
  2804. Their own election statistics.
    1
  2805. As I keep researching the videos I keep finding more and more things that are just plain weird... Why did they kill people randomly? Why didn't they use the wheel? Why didn't they use bronze when they have the technology? Why didn't they think of another government system since Teotihuacan... Etc.
    1
  2806. I'm not blaming anyone or anything...
    1
  2807. If that's true then why build the Walls of Benin?
    1
  2808. Then please Google non binary biology, it'll give you all the scientific sources you require.
    1
  2809. Most of the funds came from gas extraction in Groningen, not the colonies.
    1
  2810. Nobody from the USA would attend such a tribunal. And nobody is willing to risk war I order to prosecute US politicians and military leaders
    1
  2811. Nope. I didn't think it would be monitized when I made it, especially as various 'taboo' words were used during the video. I didn't show it because piles of corpses being dumped in mass graves, burned piles of bodies, and various other things of that video aren't suitable to watch for many people.
    1
  2812. Oh okay then, thanks for letting us know we don't exist? :D
    1
  2813. No
    1
  2814. Baikal is in Siberia. And Baikal was part of the mongol territory. Hence I called the region they originate from Siberia.
    1
  2815. What you're talking about to place 100s of years after the slave trade began... It's not relevant to this video.
    1
  2816. I never said anything about governing like a nation state, though...
    1
  2817. By using machines.
    1
  2818. What racist comments?
    1
  2819. It's in my name
    1
  2820. It's the English translation of the name. Just as Munich is called differently in German.
    1
  2821. Then the holocaust wouldn't have happened and it was just a regular war... Meaning that racial relations didn't play a big part in the war... Meaning it was just another European war... Meaning this trial would have been pointless.
    1
  2822. There's nothing Gary about this whole video...
    1
  2823. You die from just 10 shots?!
    1
  2824. Not really. People will complain no matter which I choose, so I choose bce because even if Christ existed, he wasn't born on the 1st of January of the year 0. So bce is more accurate. Hence I chose BCE over BC.
    1
  2825. Besides, I've offended plenty of people with my videos apparently :D
    1
  2826. That question has already been answered. As for the conspiracy theory... If you've ever tried getting a group of people to work together you'd know that such a conspiracy is impossible to actually execute. I admire your faith in human efficiency. It's unfounded, however.
    1
  2827. ... Nevermind, we're done here. If gods need calendars for control then they aren't gods, meaning you're wrong. If they don't need calendars then your theory is also wrong.
    1
  2828. China's involvment in Africa is small. Even today, Europe is the largest investment and trade partner, followed by the USA. China is much better at marketing than results. A good example is the AU headquarters which was hired by China... Which turned out to be filled with surveillance equipment
    1
  2829. :* I love you too.
    1
  2830. How is this video in any way making anyone feel guilty about anything?
    1
  2831. Because that's generally well known so I didn't feel a need to cover it
    1
  2832. They only had a few hundred people who could use said technology... So no, the tech wasn't the deciding factor. Rebellion was.
    1
  2833. It's existence :D
    1
  2834. Dvorak - symphony 9 From the New World
    1
  2835. yet many african countries haven't been at war since independence... yet they still have a large poor population. So just attributing poverty to war would not explain the poverty entirely.
    1
  2836. No, that's a generic coin I often use in my videos
    1
  2837. Those things were omnipresent at the time. No need to mention things that everybody knows were common.
    1
  2838. The infrastructure was only for extracting resources, useless to the people. Medicine were mostly restricted to the rich. There already were civilisations in Africa.
    1
  2839. :'(
    1
  2840. The president was a mostly ceremonial role in Germany. It's the Chancellor who holds the most power in Germany.
    1
  2841. Where do I jump around?
    1
  2842. It's an accent.
    1
  2843. There is a picture of a replica on Wikipedia. It shows 2 squared masts and 1 triangular. I based my version off of that one.
    1
  2844. Slovenia is not a city state...
    1
  2845. No, you can have inflation without the supply of money increasing (e.g. A large part of the population dies and so there is more money per person, but not more money overall).
    1
  2846. Nuremberg video on my channel
    1
  2847. The first windmills were built in the 7th to 9th century. We're not entirely certain yet. They were developed near the modernday Afghan-Iranian border
    1
  2848. Because this video is about the larger modern Dutch polders and not about windmills or polders in general.
    1
  2849. Second largest exporter in agricultural products * At least listen to what I actually said instead of misquoting me
    1
  2850. I googled it and this is what it shows: "The French Revolution, however became the spark for the Haitian Revolution after the French revolutionaries declared that all men be free and equal and when word spread to Haiti, a French colony, the African slaves of the island agreed and decided to rise up."
    1
  2851. At the time a government didn't have the resources to tax the whole country. That required A LOT of people which in turn required a lot of salaries which in turn required increasing taxes. So before the age of centralized governments the monopoly system was used to get taxes. In essence, they were franchising their tax office to whoever could get them the most income. This was common all the way back in Rome (maybe earlier, idk)
    1
  2852. No
    1
  2853. I would... But it gets demonised.
    1
  2854. I did mention Chernobyl
    1
  2855. I have an audio editor now.
    1
  2856. I tried, dammit. I TRIED!!
    1
  2857. Such as?
    1
  2858. Someone makes podcasts about my videos?
    1
  2859. It's basically a Holywood movie
    1
  2860. Hence why I stated statistics to show Africa isn't "dying of hunger and flies all over".
    1
  2861. We have no material that is strong enough for an orbital tether, though
    1
  2862. Central Africa has some of the poorest countries in the world...
    1
  2863. Will do!
    1
  2864. You're welcome
    1
  2865. It's include. Just low poly

  2866. It wasn't even close to state capitalist... It had too much control over its economy to be state capitalist. It was a command economy.
    1
  2867. Working on it right now
    1
  2868. the USA gets covered enough by other YouTubers. Here at History Scope, we try to avoid making videos about the USA and instead try to focus on parts of the world that haven't been covered a lot yet.
    1
  2869. Sluice* They are quite different
    1
  2870. 1.25 speed :)
    1
  2871. Then how come Brazil isn't as poor?
    1
  2872. That's not "the truth". Africa had city States, kingdoms, and empires just as everywhere else. And just like everywhere else, some parts lived as nomadic tribes... But most people did not.
    1
  2873. Wow, what an insightful comment. Thank you for explain WHAT is wrong with the video :D
    1
  2874. Yes.
    1
  2875. Then you're in the wrong comment section :D
    1
  2876. Just drink 3 times
    1
  2877. That's what most names are, though: a description of the place. Birmingham means 'the place where the beorma's people live', Beijing means 'northern capital', Sao Paulo is named ofter its founder. Tenochtitlan honestly is more complex than most other city names in the world.
    1
  2878. I'm not even remotely right wing... Wtf are you talking about?
    1
  2879. I looked up the other person's messages, I can still see them myself. But it was a bunch of racist nonsense about how dark skin equals low intelligence... I have removed this user from my content section :)
    1
  2880. And 1 sentence further I talk about how this perception is wrong... The irony is the point of that sentence.
    1
  2881. China is not communist, though. It's state capitalist
    1
  2882. The three colours were chosen because the flag used by Germany during the war. I use the format of three rectangles quite often in my newer videos. One I realized they were the same colours as the imperial flag, I decided to put them in this order for extra aesthetic value.
    1
  2883. The countries that suffered from those things didn't/don't have central planning...
    1
  2884. How so?
    1
  2885. Uhmmm, thank you? :D
    1
  2886. Many countries established colonies before industrialisation, so that's simply incorrect. On top of that, India was conquered before the British industrialisation really took off.
    1
  2887. By the 1760s India had also industrialised on the same level as the British. And by then the British already had a massive colonial empire, as did the Dutch, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. I also didn't say it was the only reason. I also didn't say they shunned capitalism because they didn't want to be colonial. I said it was the best system that had worked at that time.
    1
  2888. Because it was part of the Soviet Union and not an independent nation.
    1
  2889. With love from Russia - huma huma
    1
  2890. Thanks, captain obvious :D
    1
  2891. It was handed over after Portugal wanted to get rid of its empire
    1
  2892. You missed it. Its in the video.
    1
  2893. That the flag of British India. Which was the correct flag at the beginning of the trial
    1
  2894. No. But you did miss my sarcasm.
    1
  2895. Yeah, I couldn't finish it to the end either
    1
  2896. I'm sorry it's been taking so long :'(
    1
  2897. It would be nice, but most people never partake is mushrooms. And even if most people have used it, the effect doesn't last long enough.
    1
  2898. My first reply was about how mushrooms are the cause of various woes. If people were so high that it would cause people to become fully delusional then we'd need something a lot longer lasting :D
    1
  2899. Most people in the west speak more than one language. I, for example, speak about 2.5
    1
  2900. Everybody already knows about HIV, which is why I focused on other diseases instead and made it clear that the ones I named are but a small part of the total number of diseases plaguing Africa
    1
  2901. There is such a thing?
    1
  2902. It's still there... But getting smaller
    1
  2903. Being small doesn't negate the effects of gravity, though.
    1
  2904. Did you miss the part where I went into detail on just how much written evidence there was our are you simply a troll?
    1
  2905. China has the largest fleet in the world... Having a few aircraft carriers didn't make you a super power, or else France would be one too, for example
    1
  2906. When you reduce your spending and selling, you reduce the potential growth. Hence why it is silly. This is why countries which openly sell to other nations and try to get as many customers as possible, they become richer.
    1
  2907. Dude... That is one of the main sources of this video. I read it multiple times while making this video. It's the revolution first, nothing communist about fists Imo.
    1
  2908. It wasn't meant to be a joke, though. That one has been over used :)
    1
  2909. Because this is a history video...
    1
  2910. Because this is the territory India controls...
    1
  2911. You need salt to live. You don't need good.
    1
  2912. No it's not
    1
  2913. India doesn't control that region... So its not part of India.
    1
  2914. All countries throughout history are brutal. I don't think I need to tell anyone about this fact. On top of that I've already done multiple visits on japan's brutality and Russia had its own decolonization video
    1
  2915. It's not doing that. China's influence in Africa still dwarfs that of the west.
    1
  2916. The Soviets disagreeing with doing the exact same thing they had already been doing? Why?
    1
  2917. It didn't cause a brain drain, as explain in the video
    1
  2918. No. You can't.
    1
  2919. Because if they don't then it will cost more. It's cheaper than doing nothing, so they did something.
    1
  2920. I have deleted his comments containing insults :)
    1
  2921. ;) indeed. Care to join?
    1
  2922. I've had sex with far too many guys to have any homophobia... What the fuck are you even talking about!? I asked the question to scare the homophobes away... And of course nothing would come out of it... If you think this was a serious offer instead of a joke then please learn what sarcasm is and how to use it. And anti white bias? Do you not see the backgrounds of most of my videos? They are white. White is the most used colour in my videos. Is this a conspiracy theory!? Am I part of that now? :o Because that would make my day!!
    1
  2923. I might do that
    1
  2924. Yes. But I am going to let the viewers vote. So it depends on you. I will add it to the next couple of polls though. I would LOVE to cover that subject
    1
  2925. No. We don't do wars.
    1
  2926. Good thing I used the former rather than the latter
    1
  2927. Of the current pope actually wanted to do something about it, he would have published all the data on abusers they have. They would wish together with the police forces around the world arresting abusers. The Vatican would sell off its assets to pay reparations. But they don't do that. All they do is make it look like they are doing something. But almost nothing has happened. This problem also isn't complex at all. We've known about it for over 1000 years. Let's not pretend the church has done anything about it in a whole millennium
    1
  2928. Yes I did. Turn on captions :)
    1
  2929. "a touch" :D
    1
  2930. It's not an extermination camp, as far as we know. It's just a place where people of a certain religion/ethnicity are put in a camp for undisclosed reasons... I hope it's not ww2 bad :(
    1
  2931. By turning on the subtitles :)
    1
  2932. This was made by 1 person...
    1
  2933. Just like Africa is doing now :D
    1
  2934. The USA literally murdered millions of people to get the land out owns today. The only offensive thing here is the USA's tactics :D Treaties signed with European powers or their (former) colonies ignored the native populations... Which I was referring to. The USA expanded through war. Not through peace. The native americas, to this day, haven't entirely embraced the US culture. So no, not very benevolent... Unless the meaning of that word has changed since I made this video :D
    1
  2935. I'm too autistic for subliminal images.
    1
  2936. It is shown correctly.
    1
  2937. I like how countries are crimes :D
    1
  2938. Sometimes it is. But at least I know I've got an immortal being always watching overe, which is a very nice feeling.
    1
  2939. Well, I had no idea. I'll use CE from now on
    1
  2940. It doesn't exist.
    1
  2941. Finland is a hoax! :D (it's a joke I made earlier in the video)
    1
  2942. This video isn't about the war, though.
    1
  2943. But this video is about the breakup of Yugoslavia, not the breakup of Serbia. Hence no Kosovo War.
    1
  2944. My apologies, I'll update it in a bit.
    1
  2945. It's on the description now.
    1
  2946. Austria was annexed by Germany in the 1930s Great Britain was founded by the French when they invaded in 1066.
    1
  2947. Ahhh you mean the island. Yeah sure, it's been around longer than humans... Just like almost every other piece of land :D
    1
  2948. Not a single time in any of my videos so I put blame on anyone.
    1
  2949. No. But I might in the future
    1
  2950. In my video on German Reunification I repeat that phrase a bit too often to the point of it becoming a joke :D
    1
  2951. Except I didn't put blame on anyone...
    1
  2952. Ik heb zelf ook op een niet-zo-fraaie school gezeten. Er kwam 1 keer inspectie langs in onze klas die aan leerlingen vroeg hoe het ging. Dat was aan het begin van eerste jaar op de middelbare school. In de bijna 4 jaar daarna heb ik hele vreemde dingen gezien/gehoord van leraren op school waar nooit iets aan gedaan werd. Hier een paar voorbeelden: - een leraar die altijd naar de borsten keek van leerlingen - een leraar die krijtjes naar leerlingen gooide - leraren die mij hebben uitgescholden - een leraar die mijn bril afpakte zodat onze economie leraar kon laten zien dat mensen met een hadicap niet even goed kunnen werken zonder hulp (goede message, verkeerde manier om er mee om te gaan) - een leraar die ons aan het werk wilde zetten en zei: Arbeit macht vrij (dat stond op de ingang van auschwitz...) - een mannelijke leraar die ons haarfijn uitlegde dat meisjes alleen maar vrienden zijn met andere meisjes, zodat die meisjes meer aandacht krijgen van jongens. En ging vervolgens uitleggen hoe hij op dit absurde idee kwam door daar de meisjes op school te kijken (die man was destijds de 60 gepaseerd. - ik heb een keer straf gekregen omdat een andere student mijn in het gezicht sloeg. - meerdere leerlingen en een leraar werd in het kruis gegrepen door iemand in mijn klas... de leraar moest er alleen maar om lachen. Mijn vader is een keer naar het huis gegaan van de jongen die dat deed om met de vader van hem te praten (waarom deed de school dat niet op de eerste dag dat zij hier achter kwamen) Ik kan nog wel verder doorgaan. Maar die inspectie heeft in mijn geval, op de school waar ik naartoe ging, helemaal verkeerd gedaan. Door slecht 1 keer te checken in 4 jaar tijd...
    1
  2953. Yes. Because if 2 people are incompetent then anyone who shares a nationality with them is also magically incompetent. Stop. Being. Racist.
    1
  2954. Then how do you explain that wars outside of Europe have severely diminished as well?
    1
  2955. Welcome! :D
    1
  2956. Except I did point that out when I talked about a reduction in military spending.
    1
  2957. Yes. That was the point :D
    1
  2958. Using the USA as a benchmark is a very very very low bar. This shit doesn't happen in most capitalist societies... Only in the USA, which isn't a proper capitalist nation in the first place. So using one of the most broken capitalist countries to prove your point isn't good evidence at all.
    1
  2959. Why would I explain that in a video about yugoslavia?
    1
  2960. Yes there was: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_German_border
    1
  2961. I did.
    1
  2962. They were invaded by the USSR but managed to hold them back. After ww2 Finland remained an independent country
    1
  2963. It developed faster when the USA's economy was contracting, indeed. But most other times the USA was growing faster. The soviet socialist system can work... Just not as well as most decentralised firms of economic management such as capitalism, actual communism like in yugoslavia, the state capitalism of China, the social democracy of the nordic countries, etc.
    1
  2964. What!? Which one?
    1
  2965. I'm planning a series on why the soviet Union fell apart, looking at several of the individual revolutions such as the one in Romania :)
    1
  2966. You have to say something quite insulting before things get deleted. Racism, insulting other commentors, etc. You'll find lots of people disagreeing with the videos in my comment second :D
    1
  2967. It was a tributary state. We don't really have those anymore so it's hard to give a comparison. But in essence, Korea sent money to China in exchange for starting on China's good side, keep reading with China, and access to Chinese services such as education. Imagine if countries today paid the USA to allow them to trade with the USA
    1
  2968. I swear to drunk I'm not god!
    1
  2969. Don't be sad. I have a video on how to happy. Go watch it! :)
    1
  2970. Atm I don't need a sponsor to stay alive. So not even something I endorse will get a sponsor
    1
  2971. No. It's no longer active.
    1
  2972. Because supply decreased but demand stayed the same, the price went up. And this contract only applied to a single type of bulb, not all. The actual bubble only occurs in the second episode :)
    1
  2973. Thank you!
    1
  2974. This video does not contain any gore. it's pg :)
    1
  2975. Nope. Not relevant enough to this video.
    1
  2976. If that's what you understood from this, then you haven't been paying attention at all. This video doesn't ascribe 'good' or 'bad' to any historical process, people are smart enough to do that themselves.
    1
  2977. I said that in the video... Did you even watch it?!
    1
  2978. Ethiopia is shown in green. Which is the colour of independent countries.
    1
  2979. Nope. They didn't get along that well
    1
  2980. Awesome
    1
  2981. no. I've never even heard of it
    1
  2982. I already made a statement about this in the video... hence why I explain it wasn't all countries every time I talk about trends.
    1
  2983. I am not justifying it anywhere. All this video does is explain the reasons why these decisions were made. I don't justify anything in any of my videos.
    1
  2984. No not really. That's why I doesn't 6 weeks researching and making a video about it :D
    1
  2985. I tried saying "gathered", but I slurred the word a bit there.
    1
  2986. The allies moved out and the political leaders saw no point in keeping them in prison anymore.
    1
  2987. That's not a lisp, that's an accent. In my language we overarticulate most of our words... Particularly the s. I am currently working on removing it.
    1
  2988. Elsass-Mozelland ist Deutsch!!! :D
    1
  2989. Before it collapsed it paid about 13% of its entire income just on repaying foreign loans. There were companies owned by foreign companies who could do businesses in the Ottoman Empire without paying taxes. There were entire ethnicities removed from their place of origin so foreign companies could exploit the resources. I cover this in greater detail in the Ottoman video, if you're interested.
    1
  2990. It's not the flag of India. It's the flag of British India.
    1
  2991. Probably yes
    1
  2992. The average Indian only needs to be 1/4 as productive as the average US citizen. It's likely that India reaches that point around 2050. Afterall, it took other countries about the same amount of time to reach a far higher level
    1
  2993. That happened after yugoslavia had already broken apart.
    1
  2994. There are both. Search Google images for 'Afsluitdijk' and you will see many pictures with flowers on it.
    1
  2995. While an interesting subject, I'm currently covering the Aztec Empire. They practiced cannibalism and mass human sacrifices. I've also covered the Nuremberg Trials recently... Those are enough depressing subjects for AT LEAST 8 months. I am adding it to the list of topics I might cover, though :)
    1
  2996. Yes. But it's less than 1% of the increase as the areas that were poldered were shallow (below 10 meters deep in most places
    1
  2997. Beautiful and sexy ;)
    1
  2998. And your manners are horrible :*
    1
  2999. I love you too
    1
  3000. The only political statement in this entire video isn't a joke... So no.
    1
  3001. Road networks aren't all that relevant when you can use ships. China, for example, had a large system of rivers and canals instead. While in Africa most major trading centres were accessible by large ships. The road-centric view isn't a bad one but doesn't seem to apply to Africa as much.
    1
  3002. Shshshshshshshsh
    1
  3003. I state the leaders came tijdje to discuss the state of the world after ww2, not that they came together after ww2. FDR was still very much alive at The Yalta Conference
    1
  3004. OK BUT WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?!
    1
  3005. Seeing as I'm not German, we can conclude that your hypothesis is wrong
    1
  3006. The cold War hadn't started yet
    1
  3007. Then this video would be twice as long :D
    1
  3008. Because this video is about North and south Korea, not Korea.
    1
  3009. Why? This is about the great depression. Not the UK and Ireland before 1922.
    1
  3010.  @nomulahemanth3109  I made a video about India where I go into greater detail. Basically: India would be doing even better if they invested more in education. While India's overal GDP is large, per capita people are still quite poor. To prevent a situation where you have a rich well-educated population right next to low-educated poor population you need to make sure everybody has the opportunity to become high-skilled workers.
    1
  3011.  @nomulahemanth3109  Because of the high amount of spam I am removing you from the comment section: You can still write comments but neither I nor anyone else will be able to see the.
    1
  3012. I don't have the authority to make India do anything, not even changing its map
    1
  3013. China is doing the same as the west has been doing for over half a century... How will more neocolonialism be the solution when it hasn't been the solution for before?
    1
  3014. Most of African investments aren't even Chinese. The reason Africa is doing better isn't because China investing will magically make it better. The reason African countries are doing better now is because they adopted freer trade.
    1
  3015. What anti Spanish propaganda?
    1
  3016. Interestingly enough, many African countries are food importers due to disasterous agricultural policies which destroyed their own agricultural industry... while they have some of the most fertile lands in the world.
    1
  3017. I used the modern flag on purpose to show they broke away from the old soviet system :)
    1
  3018. Except Africans aren't all nudists...
    1
  3019. There is no Russian nation for God shake. They are Europeans, it's you don't want to call them with their real name (Eurasians) just call them Eastern - Europeans
    1
  3020. Give me your tears!!! :D
    1
  3021. Yes
    1
  3022. Better to go nuclear than waiting for that solution you speak of, while still burning oil, gas, and coal.
    1
  3023. Also: we won't run out of uranium or plutonium any time soon. At current levels, we have at least 100s of years of supply of we went 100% nuclear right now. And that's without even looking for it very hard like we did with coal, gas, and oil. The only issues nuclear has is that you can't use it as a mobile energy producer, unlike gas, coal, or oil which can be used for cars, trains, and planes. So it wouldnt solve all of it unless we went with hydrogen-oxygen fuel or better batteries.
    1
  3024. Serbian are humans too.
    1
  3025. Then how come so many people are starving over there?
    1
  3026. Unfortunately, I had to skip that part :(
    1
  3027. Broke away from Serbia not yugoslavia
    1
  3028. We don't focus on people in this channel. Leaders are the products of their time, especially in democracies. So to credit just one person for the larger socio-economic trends is dishonest
    1
  3029. No, they had a procedure for removing part of your skull so the pressure on the brain was lessened. So if you had a concussion and your brain swelled up they could give it more space by drilling a hole in your skull. This is a technique still used today, but not as frequently. But that said, they also didn't use it that often before modern medicine.
    1
  3030. Because the aid didn't provide basic needs and even if people have their basic needs met they won't just stop doing anything productive. Humans get bored easily and then want to start doing something productive.
    1
  3031. It's either dumped in the rivers or via pipes.
    1
  3032. Sssssssory :(
    1
  3033. "Is there such a thing as non mass genocide" Heh, good point, didn't actually think about that while writing the script. :)
    1
  3034. Yes. Look at the definition of fascism and you'll find that quite a few countries fit the definition already
    1
  3035. I didn't talk about the concentration camps because everyone already knows about that. Hence why I skip a lot of info in my videos because I assume people received a basic education of the world around them such as the NK camps.
    1
  3036. This video isn't anti anything. It's a history video, not an opinion video.
    1
  3037. See my sources for more info. They are all trustworthy.
    1
  3038. It's not. It's based on a fan.
    1
  3039. Do keep in mind that there were thousands of other court rulings in other trials. The Nuremberg Trial was only for those people who created the system, not necessarily those who had a high rank
    1
  3040. I understand German quite well. And watching the film vs watching the actual recordings of the Nuremberg Trials shows quite a bit of dramatisation was added to the movie. While it's not a bad movie, I think it is too America-centric and not enough subtlety. They could have also gotten a few German actors instead. The accents were quite emersion breaking at times, although the actor who played Goering was phenomenal!
    1
  3041. So a child born on that day should be put in a court room explain why it helped in dropping a nuke, and then be executed for being born I the wrong country? ... And people often say Nuremberg was a kangaroo court...
    1
  3042. When did I impersonate anyone in this video?
    1
  3043. Then don't
    1
  3044. Colombia declared independence on July 20th 1810. Venezuela declared independence on July 5th 1811. The movement was also much much much bigger than Simon bolivar and his army. This wasn't a few thousand people resisting Spanish rule.
    1
  3045. Many rich countries have those same issues, though
    1
  3046. Humanity is still divided :(
    1
  3047. Why?
    1
  3048. But Denmark is a very old country. I couldn't do a video about it without skipping most of it, though.
    1
  3049. With 1/3 of the vote his party controls roughly 2/3 of Parliament. Thats not a democracy...
    1
  3050. Due to wind patterns and temperature resulting in the Antarctic having the least amount of Ozone. When ozone depleted, it was the first place on Earth to get a hole.
    1
  3051. Taxes, not Texas.
    1
  3052. Beautiful! :D
    1
  3053. You don't need poor people to be rich, when machines can do most of the work for you. In fact, when people are poor you cannot sell to them. When you cannot sell to them you can't earn more money. Therefore, the more rich people the more you can sell and the richer everybody becomes. Ending poverty will make everybody richer.
    1
  3054. Machines don't take jobs. Humans want far more than it is able to produce. As a result, whatever we automate allows us to work on other things. This is why the industrial revolution didn't cause mass unemployment, for example. In developed countries the rich are the majority in the form of the middle and upper classes. And raw materials could be produced far cheaper if the extraction was automated. So if a country decides to spend money on economic development, such as South Korea did for example, then it will be able to create a comparative advantage with which it'll be able to become rich.
    1
  3055. no :D
    1
  3056. You didn't watch the video, did you?
    1
  3057. This is addressed at the beginning of the video

  3058. It was used when talking about the soviet psychologist

  3059. Hey! My videos are great while high!
    1
  3060. Yeah I didn't have time to put all that in the video so I shortened it
    1
  3061. If you listened 1 sentence longer you'd realised why I called it a country: to make the point that this view is wrong.
    1
  3062. Watch my video on the transatlantic slave trade. They took plenty of slaves from England too.
    1
  3063. Oh my, this is getting interesting ;)
    1
  3064. Yes
    1
  3065. Belgium is the one who is barely able to form governments (holding 2 records for longest country without government) and the Africans are the ones receiving reparations, in this example. I love how you called me ignorant yet didn't know these basic facts :D
    1
  3066. Nope. Not even a cameo :'(

  3067. Gdp per capita of USA is 65k, not 100k. The average salary in the USA is only about 48k. On top of that, the wealth is distributed very unequal, causing large parts of the country to live without safe and reliable drinking water or electricity.

  3068. Right... Native Americans don't exist...
    1
  3069. The nation state didn't come into existence until very recently... Except for China. This is quite basic info you can find with a simple Google search
    1
  3070. I was, in the second comment. As it's an important point about the governmental system of North American peoples before colonialism took hold.
    1
  3071. Then how come Slovenia was so successful while being socialist, according to you?
    1
  3072. I'm Afro-eurasian.
    1
  3073. YouTube does that automatically. I van people from my comment section for being racist. The fact you can still talk means it wasn't me.... But as the great philosopher Ray Grant once said: Truth can be embarrassing and uncomfortable at times. The view under the sand is much happier
    1
  3074. Except that predicting the future is impossible...
    1
  3075. I explained that: too many people investing in it. If you want more detailed explanations I suggest looking up stock market bubbles
    1
  3076. How did you go from cold fusion to Tulipmania? :)
    1
  3077. But this video wasn't about the 70s,though
    1
  3078. Yes. Most notably is Werner Von Braun
    1
  3079. Yeah, I noticed that topics like this do best: everybody knows that it exists and that it was important somehow... But most people were never taught about it. In glad it helped :)
    1
  3080. Turn off translated subtitles for YouTube. They are annoying af.
    1
  3081. Yes.
    1
  3082. free healthcare means its free upon use. 'free' has a lot of different meanings.
    1
  3083. With the current rightwing governement that is incredibly unlikely to happen. They were already complaining about the apology for excessive violence... Not violence itself or colonisation... Just the excessive part. But the main reason is that if the government admits mistakes it is required by law to pay reparations. So they will wait until the last person alive under Dutch colonialism has passed away, but even that is very optimistic.
    1
  3084. Correct! I will fix when I put all 6 videos together into 1 big video.
    1
  3085. That tank isn't based on any particular tank :) It's meant to be as stereotypical as possible and I took inspiration from various tanks to draw that one precisely so people wouldn't be able to say 'that's the wrong tank'. This way I don't have to draw a different tank for each video :)
    1
  3086. That is a very popular theory and likely one north Korea adheres to.
    1
  3087. Their existence
    1
  3088. Accursed Farms
    1
  3089. Yeah, I noticed my videos so best when they cover topics we all know happened but don't know many of the details on... So far this strategy had been really successful for me

  3090. The major difference is that during war they mostly lost their male craftspeople and they had more of them. Before the industrial revolution around 99% of your population needed to work in agriculture to support the whole population. During WW2, that % had gone down drastically. So losing half of you rmillions of craftspeople or losing half of thousands of craftspeople has a very different effect. On top of that, with industrialisation you don't need a lifetime of experience to work in a factory, while they did need that much training before industrialisation. I also don't say there is no infrastructure... I say that the infrastructure does not connect economic centres which in turn make economic growth more difficult. India and South Africa generally had better connected regions due to the different type of colonialism practised in those two regions.

  3091. Good point! :)
