@@european-reacts you could always back up like 5 seconds after a pause, plus you will not miss the context of topics.

Until you watch 2minutes of one of those historians reacting to this, pausing, explaining everything…

I didn’t I understand it the first time I watched it. A few years ago.

If I was a teacher, I'd tell a class to just take one or two lines from this, and write an essay on what he is talking about. Every line is a line of inquiry.

[@robertsmith4681]

This video is a classic, I must have seen at least 100 different people making "reaction" videos to it and it never gets old. Well done.

[@european-reacts]

Thank you. Great video for sure. 🙌

[@emilylewis5373]

It always surprises me how people miss the dealer joke about tin. Cause we literally don’t know where it came from

[@SuaveGemini]

You're thinking of Mansa Musa. So rich he personally devalued gold because he spread so much of it around. By himself. One guy.

My favorite quote from Socrates: "When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser."

[@GeoffTrowbridge]

I don't think anyone has ever argued that Socrates didn't exist -- only that some of his writings might have been made after his death.

Hilariously classic video I’ve seen dozens of times! But never gets old! You learn or review over new things every time you watch it! The creator is a hilarious genius! Good job following along! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@stevedavis5704]

I watched this video when it first came out and I was stunned by how much it covered. I was expecting a geological story about the world and also got the story of world civilization. Interesting tidbit-the Roman Empire was founded on a polytheistic religion. This is why they were so opposed to the monotheistic religions like Judaism and Christianity. Monotheism was considered to be rejecting the government and couldn’t be allowed. Despite the army trying very hard to eliminate christianity in the end a lot of the soldiers were converted and christianity was spread everywhere the Roman army went. Instead of eliminating it the army was the reason for the relatively fast spread of Christianity all over Europe. I enjoy watching your videos because it’s very interesting to see things that I know of from the point of view of someone else. Your view of american history is especially interesting, much like when I watch the oversimplified stories of history of shared events when they are viewed by english reviewers.

"Now you can't tell who they're being pillaged by." This is one of the smartest things I've heard in a while TBH.

[@Netscape-kd6mg]

Africa has been irrelevant pretty much the entire known recorded history. asside from egypt and the phareon ages we know nothing of African history Mansa Musa came out of nowhere with shit tons of gold but we know nothing of how he operated his territory. They are a hellhole now but it seems it has always been a hellhole.

[@CLKagmi23]

@@Netscape-kd6mg I would suggest you do literally any research into African history. You're speaking with a level of knowledge that makes me think you've never studied it formally, which would be fine if you weren't going around making authoritative statements about the topic.

[@Netscape-kd6mg]

@@CLKagmi23 Guilty as charged. i've never been a studious person per say. even my own countries's history i don't quite remember it despite getting a formal education about it so i guess you can imagine african history where asside of egypt, the phenicen and greek colonies, carthage, there's pretty much nothing between those and teh slave trade in my educationafter that it's basically colonial history and WW2 battles that happened there. that basically sums up my knowledge of history concerning teh african continent

[@CLKagmi23]

@@Netscape-kd6mg I do appreciate that you're able to admit that. And really a big part of the problem is that the education system in America often focuses almost exclusively on European history. When you start studying history for yourself after school it's reeeal interesting what you find out they didn't teach you. It just bothers me too because these days there are some people who are aggressively dismissing non-European history in an active way as part of some weird ethnic nationalist agenda, so I'm glad you're not one of those.

[@Netscape-kd6mg]

@@CLKagmi23 american and european history teaching is very similar unfortunatly. Even though we are more likely a bit more open then the american ES. we at least have quite a few lessons on the asian history mainly china and japan with a bit of russian and indian history and some middle eastern up to the islamic golden age and the islamic conquest up to their defeat in France but it stays very european focused

[@mattp.6660]

Fatima, where you can go see Nossa Senhora de Fatima, is Arabic in origin. Moors had a huge influence on Portuguese history. Last time I visited family there I found out that even the yellow castles on the coat of arms on our flag represent castles that the Christians took from the Moors (Arabs). There used to be way more castles, but the government later decided there were too many and limited to the seven we see today. There's still Moorish castles in Portugal to this day, like the one in Sintra. Portuguese history has a lot of intersection with Arabic history.

[@WaywardVet]

I always get irritated when they get to Mansa Musa. It seems like everyone was taught about him except me. I blame my extremely biased catholic school upbringing. It's amazing how much I've learned since turning my back to that.

[@Karthos1000]

I still remember my 7th grade unit on the protestant reformation where we watched a couple of videos which were TOTALLY paid for by the Catholic Church, casting Martin Luther as an evil man who wanted war and death and all the stuff that happened as a result of the reformation, though arguably, almost all of the was the fault of the Catholics in the first place, at least for the first couple hundred years. Okay, first hundred years. First fifty years? Several decades? At least one lifetime before the reformation got fully entrenched and started being able to do commit its own atrocities. (Being Lutheran myself, I had some problems with this unit, but being cripplingly shy at that age, I didn't say anything.)

[@nneichan9353]

He did one on Japan, too.

Hello sir, I have been watching and enjoying your channel for a couple weeks now. I just want to say, I really enjoy what you do.

[@aliciasavage6801]

One of my major problems with this version of history is that he makes it seem as if slavery was just something that happened in America and was just a black and white thing when slavery existed throughout the entire world including the natives of the America. The word slave comes from the slavs who were taken so much and for so long their name became synonymous with the practice. The Arab slave trade was even larger than the north Atlantic slave trade. The United states was the only country who ended the practice the way it did, the rest of the world it was ended by Britain over many many years. Slavery still existed in most of the world after US had ended it (and the world did not agree, except Britain and France until they were made to). Thomas Sowell has some good videos on facts most people dont know about Slavery you should check out.

[@hatleyhoward7193]

America’s slave trade happened at a time where industrial advances were happening, and the slaves ended up powering the entire worlds economic growth and an argument can be made and heavily supported that it’s the reason America moved to be a super power. America is rich and a global power because of the commodification and forced labor of black people. It was all about timing with economic advances and it’s why there is such an emphasis on it. Even today, the super rich don’t like to think of their fortune as made by slave labor, they would rather consider themselves as entitled to it. But if we want to really be honest with ourselves, America is powerful because of the horrific slavery era. Specifics: America’s slave labor accounted for $42 trillion dollars of economic growth. All while they were be robbed of any generational wealth that is still being felt today. In summary, America’s history with slavery should be a main focus because it had more of an impact on the world’s economy than anyone else’s slavery eras. Also, I’m just going to attach this article that explains what’s problematic with Sowell’s theories and conclusions. The best quote is, “Slavery is not unique to America, true enough. But American slavery was unique, and it has warped the culture and politics of the nation in innumerable ways.” www.the-american-interest.com/2013/10/10/the-simple-falsehoods-of-race/

​@@hatleyhoward7193thank you! That person has likely watched a few PragerU videos and some con men and now repeats the same nonsense talking points which have already been debunked many times 😂😂😂 Also these people have been on the losing side of every social, economic and political debate so it is no wonder they use right-wing propaganda to brainwash people. Pathetic.

He mentions slavery several times before he talks about america. He mentions it when he brings up ghana and their gold, brazil and the caribbean, also in haiti.
