Commonalities and Division: The Story of Europe, Part 5 | Full Historical Documentary

Europe has been a battle concept for centuries: it often takes foreign enemies to weld the Europeans together. But for centuries, they had been mostly fighting against themselves. It was not until the Enlightenment and the French Revolution of 1789 that a new idea of Europe emerged based on common values: freedom, equality and fraternalism.

Excelente, muchas gracias.

[@patricvlobo7503]

How beautiful is our time.. with music and the colours and the freedom 😍

[@user-ex3py1ki8n]

I thought so, too, before my home country attacked its closest neighbour on 24 February last year. Now, I feel really affiliated with the so-called lost generation, which was stripped of their illusions about the modern advanced and peaceful civilization.

Denis Diderot: "When man starts listening to the voice of reason, he will strangle the last king, with the guts of the last priest." The greatest of all the Enlightenment thinkers.

[@sandozpop6017]

no way! Empires were strangled by Marx and jjewish anarchists.

[@henrikrolfsen584]

@@sandozpop6017 All Western Civilization was strangled by Judeo-Christian Blood-Drunk Religion!

[@livingpiano]

That applies to christian priests who are as filthy as radical Islamic clerics . Their religions are violent political ideologies only Hinduism is an exception

[@goerizal1]

@Henrik Rolfsen: of everything there was staged but there is no question this piece is a great learning experience comparable to only very few of what i have ever seen. that part where diderot delivered his piece super correctly in tone, attitude and righteous certainty reminded me of lenin and his comrades upending russia and liquidating the Czar and family while giving the world 70 or so years of communism USSR style. voltaires' vaunted wish of letting everyone think for themsevles and do accordingly did not worked out so well. why?

Is there a book to accompany this series?

[@wheatley9601]

No but Christopher Clark is an author. He wrote a book about how Europe "sleepwalked" into the first world war which I want to get

Strange that er is no mention made of Napoleon's real defeat at Waterloo ?

7:29. Rephrasing is not necessary at all.

[@grog4063]

Potsdam, Where Truman asked Stalin, "Where's Hitler?" and Stalin answered, "Spain, or Argentina."

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

Two things. Actually, three. I'm enjoying this series, so thank you for posting it. But, how on earth does an Aussie end up with that accent? And it's exceptionally annoying that he keeps referring to England, when he means GB. For example - he talks about the industrial revolution starting in England and proceeds to talk about James Watt, who was very much a Scot. You'd think a docu series about Europe would be able to accurately describe the countries within it.

[@casplant]

FACT! Hear Hear!

[@QueeneAllie]

He studied in Cambridge. You don't know where he spent the majority of his life.

[@chloematthews9537]

I'm an Aussie and know many others who have a similar accent to him. Other than the time he studied at Cambridge he could have picked it up from relatives who are British, wouldn't be that unlikely as a large majority of Aussies are second or third generation (like myself). Another factor is socio-economic status, or whether you grew up/live in a city or a regional or rural town. I agree, really enjoying this series! Watched the whole thing in a day...

[@adjm1234]

Glad I'm not the only one. It really annoys me when people default to England when they mean the UK (or in historical context the Kingdom of Great Britain). I can just about forgive other languages but for an Aussie who lived in the UK it's pretty unforgivable.

[@RachelleLeigh-tk5oc]

It probably took a great deal of practice to lose it.

[@johnnywindsor183]

They always say Jewish population ? They were Soviet Ukrainians, or if Poland , polish ,,,, Judaism is a religion

[@jonnylumberjack6223]

Judaism is a religion. Jewish is an ethnicity. Some Jews are religious, some are not.

[@polarmouse3943]

There were never political nations except for Soviet in the Soviet union. Ukrainians, Jews, Kyrgyzs were formed as ethnicities.

[@jonathanevans4133]

And yet you argue that the EU state is democracy full stop it is no different to those in Versailles

[@KosmiekAltertainment]

the dramatic music and the surplus of words in the narration make this horrible to watch.

[@kobokers3046]

[@klaudiagorn3665]

Poland, which was one united and baptized country in X century (on the contrary to other disintegrated nations), being strong, independed and tolerant to all religions in XVI century, fighting with Turks and stopping them from invasion to Europe in 1683, having second in the world democratic constitution in 1791 is totally forgotten in this series...to be mentioned as appearing after Treaty of Versailles ? What a terrible mistake and ignorance!

[@klaudiagorn3665]

And Second World War - showing opressors as victims!!?? This is ridiculous. 16 % of whole population died, being attacked without reason and almost shoved off from the face of the earth....it goes without mentioning? No picture of ruins of Warsaw and other cities? No polish surnames on the tombes? It was genocide to be remembered.

[@user-ex3py1ki8n]

Actually, it did appear after the 123 years of partitions, so technically, that is not a mistake. Yet I agree that he could have added one sole syllable to put it more precisely: Poland REappeared after WW1.

[@klaudiagorn3665]

​@@user-ex3py1ki8nBut We did existed - concerning culture, language, politics, although under partition and in the underground...

[@seadbiberovic7791]

Narrator didn't mention that assassination off Austrian throne succeeder was happened in Sarajevo the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina 1914.

[@sailor67duilio27]

the whole Hitler's view of Europe is just the same as Putin's view

[@Robert-rr7kw]

Amazing how you make that comparison... Nobody would have thought that one.

[@Robert-rr7kw]

The whole Hitler's view,?

[@Robert-rr7kw]

In other words you're trying to say Putin's dominance is similar to the way Hitler had tried to dominate..

[@Robert-rr7kw]

It's actually geopolitics and it is actually different because the entire land mass of China and Russia is being considered as something just completely too overwhelming for Europe to not be sucked up by over the course of this century.

[@Robert-rr7kw]

The sheer size of China and Russia is what Putin is gambling on..

[@adamsmithhomie9490]

"Communism exploded on the scene in the 20th century." that's a very generous way to put that. I would phrase it as the worst genocides man has ever committed...Look at the tone this series takes with capitalism compared to communism.

[@pasadoenclaro]

Genocide? We need to talk about WW II

[@MaciejSinger]

7:26... let me rephrase: the EU subjects finance the bureaucratic (i.e. extravagant) lifestyle of officers, may of whom are not elected (sic!) at all ...

[@mariusznowak3475]

How many Ukrainians had been involved in Babi Yar's massacre on jews?

[@user-oz4cl8uz7j]

Human dignity? I couldn't get a decent job during EU rule! And my family has been destroyed on that basis - correct that if you can!
