American Reacts to HISTORY OF THE ENTIRE WORLD, i guess

[@vynal77]

dude, i'm from Australia and I had my son watch this wen he was 6. He has now watched and quoted it more than 300 times with me. He has gone from delinquent to, I guess nerd, but he's more intelligent and helps him move forward than most he's seen. He's now 13 by the way

[@lex_hayes]

I am forcing my now 16yo son to watch this tomorrow morning!

[@Bobsyagod]

There's also a Japanese history one as well that slots in after the part where he goes "And Japan became sunrise land" and it then says intermission. Bit shorter but also amazing to watch.

[@sandro4790]

Yeah definitely worth it. I think it was originally done as part of a school project, but it blew up online and people requested more so he decided to make one about the history of the entire world

[@hendeyjagger7489]

@@sandro4790 he wanted to do America first, I believe.

[@tigeriussvarne177]

History of the entire world, i guess is my favorite video. I have almost watched every reaction to this, because I love to see if people learn from it, or if they can add knowledge to it.

[@7six3]

That's a bloody great video, I don't think I've learnt so much in 25mins in a very long time 🤣 Great vid mate 👍🇦🇺

[@alanmoffat4680]

Same here QLD mate

[@Emma-hw3sl]

"History of the entire world, I guess" is a masterpiece and one of my favourite vids that I can keep going back to again and again. Loved that you finally found it.👍😊

[@argantyr5154]

I've watched this a few times, I love the humor and almost every time I've watched it there comes a few more details I didn't notice the previous time. I remember from a Comment on another channel, that it took him almost an Year to do this, 1st do the research (what to put in and what not to put there), then be able to explain it very simple but understandable etc.

[@FreelancerKez]

Great video. It doesn't really teach you much of anything specific but it gives you a great jumping off point for just about any historical subject you could think of.

[@andymills2985]

Lots of things to google

[@JForJack]

this is defo up there with the best of the best in terms of youtube videos. the sheer amount of effort put in to the editing is mental

[@bigoz1977]

I’ve seen this about 20 times now, and I catch something new every time I watch it lol it’s awesome 👏

[@bennieviljoen291]

Amazing video. Only shortcoming that is actually screaming at me from the video, is the dominance on the northern hemisphere with only few side mentions related to the southern hemisphere. I guess the reason is that despite the rich history it has, it was not documented nearly as well as that of the northern hemisphere? Regarding reaction to it, I found that a certain level of knowledge about history results in finding this way more educational as opposed to being overloaded with all these (new) facts and struggling to keep up.

[@David_C_83]

I often wondered but even when you look at say North America, a lot of the history is relatively modern and I want to guess that it's because a lot of it was not written. If you look at most of the stories you hear from the natives that lived around before the Europeans decided to explore to new world, they were passed orally from generation through generation without there being books or writings.

[@xenotypos]

The southern hemisphere has also a lot less land and people than the northern one. It was even worse in the past, before the migrations in south America and the demographic boom of sub-saharan Africa. He also tried to stick to the most relevant stuff in world history, he didn't mention some countries in the north at all too like Ireland, or anything related to celts in general. I don't think he was really centered on the northern hemisphere.

[@Reneesillycar74]

I absolutely love this video! I’ve watched it a handful of times & it never bores me, quite the opposite. There’s always some segment that you might have missed. What a genius tool to introduce a fascination for history (if you don’t already have it)! ✌🏼

[@brionykathryne6716]

I love bill wurtz's take on history. It doesnt take sides and its totally objective. Includes a lot about south east asia and the middle east that isn't clouded by propaganda. Not a lot of people know that the vietnam war began as a war between the us and russia that the poor vietnamese population was caught in the middle of.

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

I love it so much too. You were surprised you hadn't come across it before. If you haven't seen it yet, there's a must-see video of KZbin called The Fallen of WW2. its about the length of this video, and uses easy to follow graphics that put all the numbers into easily understood proportions.

[@jameswitt605]

Loved this! Might get some youngsters thinking about learning more.

[@BradGryphonn]

Four minutes in and loving this! I'll be sure to share the original and your reaction video, Ian. Cheers buddy. I'm at the intermission (20:00). Yep, absolutely succinct. Love it.

[@t-boz6627]

That´s one of the most awesome YT-Vids i´ve seen so far... would be great to have a little "Update" Video just about the last few Years!!! Greetings from Germany... love your Channel, keep on Mate!!!

[@SIP100Ka]

Awesome you finaly reacted to this video !!

[@michaelfink64]

Hi Ian, I think you would really enjoy reading "A Brief History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson. It is still pretty succinct and written in an entertaining style but goes into more detail than the video. I highly recommend it (and all of Bill Bryson's books for that matter).

[@nekane6168]

Thanks! I'll check It out. Looks interesting. 💕

[@stormygayle9388]

You need to send this to that guy who was interviewing those young people who didn’t know 3x3x3 or what the civil war was fought over The scariest thing about this simplification of history.. is the guy was right.. pretty spot on actually.. as an overview!

[@jazzycat8917]

To be fair there's a lot of old people with extremely shaky ideas about what the civil war was fought over......

[@cikame]

The only thing i learned in geography is that water can pass through permeable rock... which has been VERY helpful to me...

[@JudeAussie]

First time I’ve seen this. I wish all subjects in school were this much fun.

[@garros]

Undisputed as the best KZbin video of all time, in my humble opinion. He's very talented and the effort that went into that piece of audiovisual art is truly commendable and totally apparent. In an age where there is so much cheap, shallow and rehashed entertainment and media, this truly stands out as an example of why quality and artistic integrity is always preferable to more, low-quality content. I've watched it at least 15-20 times and I never tire of it. And watching other people experience it for the first time is thoroughly enjoyable as well.

[@IWrocker]

Well said 👏

[@emjizone]

7:31 "The greeks just had the idea of thinking about stuff." 😂 Was about time. Thanks to them. Who would have thought ? 🤣

[@andrewh9613]

Thanks for putting this up mate this was funny af,had a good laugh and was interesting too.Wrock on Ian😎

[@johannesheinsohn6956]

Fascinating, simply fascinating. (Live long and prosper!) Gives you a general idea of what happened at the same time in different places on Earth while the stuff you learn in school happened. Just watched an in depth video on Chinas history (division vs. unity) here on KZbin a few days ago. Was mindblowing as well.

[@Gomisan]

I love this, had seen it a while back, but well worth watching again!

[@Davey-Boyd]

Glad you enjoyed it. Bill Wurtz said it took him 11 months to make and he nearly went insane. Now you really need to check out 'The Universe Is Way Bigger Than You Think' kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6qaf62geNKInJI

[@gmans777]

Saw this a few years ago.. was happy to watch it again

[@ethanHEART1]

This video was awesome to watch Ian, I had so much fun watching you enjoy this :)

[@zwenkwiel816]

Wow, I just randomly realized mediterranean basically means "Middle Earth" .....

[@drummerboy2834]

That was 🔥🔥🔥 Subliminal learning 🤔 Brilliant 👏👏

[@dimitri877]

Wait, wut? No baseball cap? Are you even a 'real' American, Ian? Is Walmart having supply issues? ..just kidding, I love how you are not the stereotype 'us Europeans' think we know. Love your channel, glad it got suggested to me. You strike me as a person I'd love to compare beers and cars with (not combined or in the same order) during a gorge-fest of grill and BBQ.. 👍

[@ThatguyPurps]

You should watch the "over simplified" videos.. theres WW1, WW2 etc and done in the same awesome style.

[@Limburg92]

Wished I saw this sooner, cool and quite acurate timeline 😂👍🏻

[@PeterAtkinson]

I’ve also been a heavy KZbin watcher for 10+ years and I hadn’t seen it either. I thought the video was y, really enjoyed it. I can’t imagine the time it must of taken to create this video. This is why KZbin is such a great platform. 👍👍

[@turbocharger9553]

love watching your video's bro!

[@guthriekeith318.]

G'day Ian & family hope you are all well. Absolutely loved it.🍻🐨🦘🇦🇺🇺🇲.

[@Tasoq]

I've watched it so many times but it still fascinates me lol

[@pranc236]

I didnt really learn anything but very well put together and entertaining video. It was fun. How did he totally miss ancient Egypt though? Reminds me of a oversimplified yt video or history with hilbert.

[@midnightkitchen8379]

❤️Maybe after 4 minutes it calms down with the quick transitions . Yeah :)

[@biancasames]

It was Awesome!! Thanks for showing!!!! 1st time x

[@wizardflaps]

Respect, dude, for your honest love for this clip. I grew up with this video, cornerstone of my links back in the day .

[@NeilBlanco]

This is one of my favourite videos ever. I watch it regularly. Can't believe how much he covers in such a small amount of time. Brilliant editing and happy you finally saw it...

[@kamukameh]

On your question: It is maybe my 15th or 20th time I watch this video, this time with the version of you from the past, which is kind of funny given the context. :D

[@Short_Round1999]

This is a good way to show exactly how fast human civilization modernized if you watch the time line that pops up

[@juzz6745]

1st time watching and love it...hahahaha fkn genius

[@spazbog123]

I always find myself focusing on the original video for this than the reaction, you always pick up something new you missed each time. Another similar type of video to react to is "How the Universe is Way Bigger Than You Think"

[@chronically_81]

I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for sharing it with us

[@christineparker7534]

I've never seen this video either, Excellent

[@jeffh7021]

I'm glad I watched that. You're right about thinking this should be in schools. This is a very good video.

[@TheNeonParadox]

This is easily one of my favorite videos on KZbin. Although, it's a little depressing that the period and geographical area of history I've spent my entire adult life studying goes by in about a minute. 🤣🤣

[@AnthonyP73]

I just realised it's a shame that Aboriginal Australia isn't mentioned.

[@pennidavis3843]

Agreed, oldest continuous culture in the world and that's not mentioned !🤔

[@jerolddavis]

Yeah, there are a lot of indigenous cultures that are left out of this, but that one does seem to leave a bigger gap.

[@rocinante4609]

I have watched this a few times. Still amazes me how well its done. I like that he doesnt pull any punches.

[@stinkfinger1942]

One of my all time favorite productions.

[@41Toto]

Australia, the best kept secret ...... nobody in history knows we are here.🤣🤣 (or just ignores us ) 😒

The real secret is those couple of islands to the east of Australia 🇳🇿🤫🤫🤫🤐

[@rosmeeker1964]

Except all the people who were here.

[@akyhne]

There was little to nothing about South America, Scandinavia, & Australia.

[@Kayenne54]

Indonesia doesn't ignore us.

[@Kayenne54]

@The Great Nazis KHAN According to one documentary I saw ages ago, Indonesians are taught to call Australia "The Motherland" - make of it what you will...

[@durv13]

loved it . funny . but to the point . from now on when ppl ask how we got here . and they do regularly , im the wise one around where i live , lmao , instead of spending hours trying to explain . ill give them the link to the video . hahaha

[@Muck006]

The bit about "you can make a relig..." during the French Revolution is actually true, because they were thinking about having a "church of the superior being" (god or something) ... to ditch the pope.

[@tukicat1399]

He missed 60,000 years of Indigenous occupancy of Australia..

[@amyt3949]

Exactly longest continuous culture in the world. Despite the continued systemic efforts of so many in our country to destroy and disrespect indigenous people and culture, they are phenomenal.

[@NLRevZ]

There's another similar video by Bill Wurtz, you should really check it out seeing as how you liked this one so much! Look up History of Japan in his videos :-)

[@timbomb374]

Man, countries and boarders are a lot more fluid than they seem.

[@MizuMing]

This is pretty much a prerequisite for reaction channels. ❤️ Oh oh! Sir, if you like music and science I would suggest Melody Sheep! The Symphony of Science. 'Don't Stay in School' by Boy in a Band is pretty good too.

[@almostyummymummy]

Melody's first one was so depressing by the end of it. But, oh boy, it was still great to watch.

[@MizuMing]

@@almostyummymummy I was thinking he should watch something like 'We are Stardust' or 'Quantum World', or even 'Children of Planet Earth'. Those are fun. 💕

[@hansolav5924]

This should be included in every school system, and be displayed at least once a year to every class. From what I hear, learning from this video and using it to find out what you want to learn more about on your own, will do more for public education than american schools have since before we said 1990.

[@atdynax]

I actually watched the video yesterday.

[@emilyc2748]

Bill Wurtz is a true artist, all of his videos, music and editing are spectacular and absurd and just absolutely brilliant in every way

[@solreaver83]

First time seeing it. Kinda sad 2 things were missed, the British empire, largest in history and the British outlaw slavery and effectively abolish it in the west.

[@Danger_Mouse3619]

this should be taught at school. 😜

Great video, but it kind of forget to mention what happened in South America, and Scandinavia. Edit: And Australia.

I've watched this before, I don't know when, but I'm enjoying watching it again just because of the way it's done, the little jokes slotted in all over the place. Only feel like Aus history gets missed, considering there is 40,000-60,000 years of it and the only mention has been Britain sending their prisoners here

Saw this for the first time in Xmas '17 with daughter - who was 14 at the time. Lost track of how many times I've seen it now. Probably a good 30-40 times, is my guess. One of those rare things you pick up new things almost every time you watch. It was incredibly well done. As for rate of population increase, yeah. Increasing at a rate of about 81 million per year. (About 1.05%/year). Peak was about 2%/year in the 60s. Mind blowing, to say least.

Wanna know the crazy thing about Columbus? It is said that Christopher Columbus was a spy for the Portuguese crown. When Portugal and Spain devided the world between them, Portugal got the tip of Brazil. The rest of Brazil went to Portugal because they pulled a sneaky on Spain and knew that Brazil was rich on gold and sugar (thank you sailors that scouted the inner part of Brazil), so they pushed the "border" further, stealing territory off of the spaniards.
