  1. Edo Japan imported a Dodo from the Colonial Dutch??? LMAO History is stranger than fiction

  2. Then make it a political issue that is important to your vote. Ultimately, the US Government directs the nations farming because it is the one subsidizing most agricultural production ("free market", huh). That's why the Farmers have such a powerful voting block in politics; a mutually beneficial relationship. So if you want to see change, put your vote behind it. That's the only way to materialize change.

  3. Why bother? This isn't about the relatively new Ancient Greek.

  4. I cannot get over how well made these animations, body language, sound effects, and narration are. This is a storytelling masterclass.

  5. True. It's been a great 30 years of healing for Germany. But it's also true that East Germany & West Germany still have a lot of differences stemming from the 40+ year-long division.

  6. 5:08 "An example of the public's appetite for smearing prominent women with their own fantasies and frustrations." Then the cut to the guy holding a "Lock Her Up" sign. That is absolute gold right there. It crazy how incredibly accurate that concluding defense was.

  7. At that point, the classic "aliens" would have been a more realistic myth.

  8. Yes. Practically that was a genuine potential threat. But even then, Lenin still chose not to give the order.

  9.  @viscountbp  Oh yes! The famously fair trial of the revolutionary guillotine!

  10.  @operationstarwars  Can't see a ghosts reflection in a mirror. Same reason why he couldn't hear her. Ghosts can't talk with living beings.

  11. WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE FROM THE DEMON OF REASON.

  12. Excuse me? Wilson was the one that came up with the bright idea of forcing Germany to pay unreasonably high reparations using money borrowed from the US. When the American economy buckled, the German economy collapsed because of Wilson's "responsible" idea.

  13. Practices & beliefs like this will be vital in this century of drastic climate change. The way we think about soil must change.

  14. First wife had no business being that loyal to someone who would rather cheat on the Queen with a new girl instead of getting back with his ex (the first wife).

  15. He was NOT Ethiopian. He was Oromo, born in Harar (an Islamic Holy City). The Ethiopian Empire had not yet colonized Oromia at this point in history.

  16. There is no reasonable defense for treason. So the defender did a "Yes, And"

  17. While she was no saint or hero, Marie Antoinette (and even Louis XVI) were made into scapegoats to showcase the French Revolution as a righteous cause. In fact, the very last King Louis even tried (in vain) to reform the country, but that fact didn't fit into the revolutionary narrative. Their damning sin was not being able to save a collapsing kingdom that had already started collapsing long before they were born.

  18. If only it had worked out...

  19.  @luyandzabavukiledlamini4693  And? Treason is treason.

  20.  @P.eac.h  37 is incredibly young, donut. If your mother died at only 37 years of age, that would be a tragedy.

  21. You don't consider being enslaved at a young age and shipped across the ocean as "too bad"? He made the most out of the terrible hand he was dealt.

  22. Says a lot about your character

  23. Malik Ambar's legacy was truly impressive!

  24. True but that was on Anthony, not Cleopatra.

  25. Honestly, spiders are master weavers that make prestene tapestry with webs that are stronger than steel. So even after turning Arachne to a spider, Athena would have still lost.

  26. Ayy he was born in Harar. That's so cool.
    2
  27. Nixon is so much better. Trump did nothing positive. Uh... I guess, he oversaw the separation of the Space Force from the Navy. Yay, I guess.
    2
  28. "Always", huh. WW2 was apocalyptic. But the Cold War forced many of us to abandon our humanities due to crippling paranoia and the constant risk of nuclear Armageddon. Life was rough back then. We are lucky, and therefore have higher moral standards. Not an excuse, but an analysis.

  29. No. Pharaohs write their history like autobiographies. But there is a difference between a memoir and f-ing Mein Kampf!

  30. Why y'all gotta demonize Hades like that😭 I like the wholesome bit at the end. Momma love❤

  31. 100% It's a giant middle finger to Lady Liberty.

  35. Vladmir Putin and Jeff Bezos have nothing on Mansa Musa!

  36. Watergate is nothing compared to his 1968 violation of the Logan Act. Plus, the worst part about Watergate was that he resigned and got pardoned thus completely escaping justice or accountability.

  37. Don't be delusion, man. Learn from history, don't fight it. You will never will.
    2
  38. True. Aksumite is a little more "known" but mostly as an ancestry legacy for modern day Ethiopia.
    2
  39. Yeah, well all of those appeasing compromises still led to Civil War. So what's the point of prolonged/delayed suffering?
    2
  40. Honestly, I feel like LBJ deserves his own trial against History.
    2
  41. History is written by the winners? No. History is written by those who control the press and the education system.
    2
  42.  @sergeantskrtskrt9594  That is a lie told to make Amharas feel better about their imperialistic history. How about the Tigrayans enslaved by Amharas in this recent war?? Read a history book that wasn't written by propagandists.
    2
  43.  @1luvxSummer  Not at that point in history. And the point is that the Oromo are deeply oppressed people that never wanted to be "Ethiopian". They were colonized by Menelik.

  44. Pinochet isn't a downside? You are pro genocide???
    2
  45. Innocent until proven guilty ...unless jingoism and paranoia are sweeping the country.

  46.  @Mangaoreader  That doesn't counterbalance LITERAL SLAVERY.

  47. Bruh stop yapping. This was a terribly unobjective video. Maybe you just don't know the history.

  48. Nice

  49. When your country is founded on one of the most strategic geopolitical positionings on the face of the planet, foreign belligerent will want to control what you have. Africa, as a whole, only started getting colonized in the last 600 years. Egypt has been colonized, conquered, and recolonized for thousands of years.

  52. Sure.. "Peace through military conquest"

  53. History vs Genghis Khan video did a much better job at being objective.

  54. And what did that do for them? The Missouri Compromise led to the Bloody Kansas which led to secession which led to Civil War. Something just can't be compromised in favor of political expediency. Appeasement kills.

  55. What a G.

  56. It funny how you can seeing "Peace" during an era were Rome kept killing everyone. Rome stabilized by killing everyone else. MuCh PeAcE.

  57. That's a good one. The Iron Lady was a chad but a horrible human being.

  58. Preferably not made by hollywood. They would bastardize his history. But I heard Hanu-Man was great. So maybe Prasanth Varma and Primeshow Entertainment could pull it.

  59.  @Nuss-j4s  He was a side character. We are talking about a film with Malik as the main character.

  62. This is the best Ted-Ed video to date.

  63.  @cipher8400  Cus the Mongols were smart, not barbaric. Napoleon thought he could survive off the land in Russia DURING WINTER.

  64. When the US Supreme Court makes a decision, it is then up to the Executive Branch to enforce that ruling. *SCOTUS in Worcester v. Georgia*: Rules that the Indian Removal of 1830 is unconstitutional. *Andrew Jackson*: "The Supreme Court has made their decision, now let them enforce it, [themselves]".

  65. Not a surprise. Trump attempted to steal an election, committed insurrection, and attempted to assassinate his own VP. Plus, is facing 4 criminal cases + 91 charges. Yet, he is still somehow the frontrunner in this US Election.

  66.  @athul_c1375  Get a life.

  69. Andy Weir is a sci-fi writer of such legendary skill.

  70. I love Churchill but damn has that man committed atrocities across the globe.

  71. "In response to your many contorted arguments (all of them wrong)" 30% of the comments on this video just proves this video's claim.

  72. Because he's ✨neutral✨

  73.  @90AlmostFamous  If America sent diplomats to a foreign country only for the hosting country to brutally murder them, then that is OBVIOUSLY an act of war. Same thing with Genghis Khan's diplomatic efforts.

  74. NO. There is zero nuance there. Imagine trying to serve as Hitler's defense attorney. BRUH.

  75. I like Churchill, but he was responsible for the deaths of millions of Indians.

  76. I feel like Bush Sr is safe, no? His biggest controversy was lying about not raising taxes.

  77. Damn that's even worse. Not just for national security but for international peace and stability, too? That is the height of irony.

  78.  @michaelterrell5061  Nobody cares what you think. The horrors of WW2 were very real and your weak-minded opinions can't change that.

  79. Thank you. This video is horrible compared to the History V. Genghis Khan video.

  86. Elizabeth I went down in history as one of England's most revered monarchs.

  87.  @archivey-h8e  WTF?? Kennedy was against deployment to Vietnam his entire administration. That only happened after the assassination. Vietnam was Johnson's & Kissinger's war. Nixon was no "peacemaker". He prolonged the for political gain. That's treason and a violation of the Logan Act.

  88. Hercules, the greatest Greek hero, wasn't undeone by Hubris. His weakness was his brawns over brain mentality. But his "undoing" was poison.

  89. LMFAO

  90. "Ich bin ein Berliner."

  91. The greatest shame of Mao's Cultural Revolution was the fact that Mao convinced Chinese people to commit cultural genocide upon traditional Chinese culture, language, and art/literature. Mao weaponized self-hatred. It's crazy to me that the only country that unconditionally respects Chinese culture is Taiwan.
    1
  92. Do people actually try to make the argument that inequality is law of nature?? Never allow yourself to be gaslit by the rich into accepting your lot in the system THEY built to keep you down. Honestly, kinda disappointed at Ted-Ed for entertaining this broken argument, only to give us such a PC answer. Nobody is expecting a perfect world, Ted-Ed... Damn, I lowkey sound like a communist or something. Maybe I should right a manifesto🤣🤣

  93. That's the one I know, too. But, realistically, I doubt Bellerophon is smart enough to think of that. LOL Maybe it was Pegasus who thought of the idea.

  94. That's so cool!

  95. It is more of a metaphorical "button".

  96. Adaptive radiation. Specifically, island gigantism. +Human expansion. I learned this, not in school, but from Atlas Pro. It's a great channel with very education videos about geology, geography, biology, and ecology (+astronomy).

  97. It's because most people familiar with the story never actually read the Book of Exodus.

  99. True. I'm a fan of Churchill but he is a man of many sins.
