World history on Khan Academy: Called the Great War (before World War II came about), World War I was the bloody wake-up call that humanity was entering into a new stage of civilization. Really the defining conflict that took Europe from 19th Century Imperial states that saw heroism in war into a modern shape. Unfortunately, it had to go through World War II as well (that some would argue was due to imbalances created by World War I).
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom.

[@nriab23]

This is great Sal, I love learnig about many interesting things through your videos as I'm sure many of other people do.

[@Alexander_Chase22]

Please add the rest of the history videos to this playlist. I would be so thankful. Also, I volunteer to organize your vids for you if you'd like. (I know your a busy man.)

[@allgoo19]

"I pray for people to find compassion and to learn from the past." == Exactly! History repeats only if we don't learn from the past mistakes. Unfortunately, there are so many who don't. They'd be driven by the emotion of the moment and take an action that doesn't make sense when they look it back in the future as a part of the history. As a result, we'll all have to be dragged into it whether we like it or not.

[@Sorcerers_Apprentice]

People aren't starving yet. They could tolerate tyranny, but the moment there was no grain, the royalty and nobles were out in less than a year.

[@661199Joseam]

[@jhiadavis]

[@nother123]

[@FeelFree3]

Through out history the strong always win and winner takes all.

[@sirvolders]

Fantastic Video's! Never thought that I, as European, would learn European history form an American :D

[@TreasonousBastard]

(cont.) So to argue that the French Revolution was a bad idea from the start would seem difficult for any patriotic American. To argue that it went poorly is easier, but consider: 1) We did not have to overthrow a government entirely; our Revolution was a secession; we didn't have to decide what to do with George III; 2) we were separated from Europe by a big ol' ocean and the powers that ended up at war with France were not arrayed against us due to that and also their enmities towards Britain.

[@jonasianbuddy]

@hifhif123 haha i love his quirky sense of humor "refrigerator heater" lol

[@catalinaotero9240]

You should start a tutoring company or something.

[@pongman]

If only Sal was around when I was in high school.

[@jimius]

haha, he was totally building the suspense on the name of the artillery captain. And when he gave the answer... I should've known that. too bad they didn't teach it at my school.

[@todanes]

DO A PHILOSOPHY ONE PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAASE!!

[@kingj521]

@pongman If only i knew about sal when i was in high school

[@TreasonousBastard]

Except that without a revolution France would have remained subject to an autocratic monarchy; Louis XVI seems like a sympathetic victim because he was sort of dull and bungling, but he was a tyrant still. This revolution was also informed and inspired by the same Enlightenment ideas as the American revolution. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen bares a striking resemblance to the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights. (cont)

[@billyking1989]

2 dislikes, Maria Antonieta and her husband.. :P

[@dogrudiyosun]

"this dude, the duke of brunswick.." lol..dude of brunswick

[@spitama1234]

[@musicforeversinging]

What goes around comes around lol that beyonce song started playin in my head:P

[@sybil3716]

what's their justification to declare war on Austria?

[@CaptainFluffy6644]

@tan240sx u mean lots of parallels with every revolution in every country since the dawn of time =P

[@TheChat53]

7;40

[@andrewparesa5116]

18:15

[@rlrlrlrlrlrlrlrlrlrl]

@mysty0 What's wrong with it?

[@junior1984able]

Sal, what do you mean , the nobles started hoarding the grain, what did that mean?

[@TreasonousBastard]

And finally the excesses of the Jacobins and the Committee for Public Safety can only be understood in the context of that war. France could not win it without quickly suppressing internal counter-revolutionary factions and dragooning everyone into line behind the Revolutionary cause. The French Revolution was likely a necessary step in the process of getting rid of monarchical absolutism and (not mentioned much) direct Church control of politics in Europe. Also it gave them the metric system.

[@Purcader222]

Antonieta...

[@sotos989898]

what programm does he use to write like that?

[@shivugoyal3962]

Maybe he just uses paint with a black background

[@williamjoung7673]

this video is helpful

[@oO0killer0Oo]

@tan240sx video suggestions?

[@JeroenElsen]

I hope this is accurate! Else I got my facts wrong.

[@aliBanali103]

gotta love the repubic of France

[@oguzhanir5006]

Ali Ward bir şey cv 🏚️🏚️

[@tan240sx]

@oO0killer0Oo A video suggestion? Sure. Search for Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Part 7 should be particularly enlightening.

[@carlmoore3215]

18:23 Would that be 1793, not 1792, for setting up of Public Safety? You've already had Louis XVI being guillotined in Jan. 1793.

[@THEKING531]

How does one logically explain that the answer to poverty is a war?

[@romesfinestlegion]

y am i whatching this. ow well...

[@MEproGAMER]

is it freezing at 6:45 for anyone else?!

[@tan240sx]

Holy cow, lots of parallels with China's Cultural Revolution.

[@EdgeRetro]

"let me write this in a bloody color" haha. Hope this isn't video isn't for preparing us for history to repeat itself. Well, revolution is fine, but hopefully not quite this bloody.

[@indiantantric]

Khan Academy Committee of Public Safety was formed in 1793, not 1792. :)

[@morgenvade4768]

+Ashutosh Rai That name is hillarious

[@indiantantric]

Morgen Vade As in ?

[@morgenvade4768]

Ashutosh Rai Committee of Public Safety it sounds like something kids make up in Safety School. History is filled with a funny spin on names.

[@indiantantric]

+Morgen Vade hahaha...so true.

[@Iyetube]

He wrote Repubic xD

[@kalepensel]

it's just like Warcraft III Reign of terror, lol

[@661199Joseam]

@MarxistBrutalMatt hahah check yo spelling on that last sentence x3 now thats a funny typo

[@billy1496]

To hold off prussian and other armies, france relied on mass conscription (known as the leve en mass)

[@fl333r]

Any French revolution vid is 100x better than the one History Channel made.

[@boscohan2167]

Why doesn't he pick up the phone? :p

[@matthiussine8358]

Why were nobles emigrating out of France ?

[@Raul3711]

Because the new state was stealing them. Later the state begun murdering people and...

[@rubiksisaseasyaspi]

Well, you know, except for about half of America.

[@tan240sx]

@CaptainFluffy6644 No, most revolutions did not have a bloody and chaotic period where revolutionary factions turned on each other en masse. Most revolutions did not have "Reigns of Terrors." Also, most revolutions didn't result in as radical political and social(Cultural) upheaval.

[@paulceltics]

phone went off

[@poofydoofyvideos]

U.S. is not starving?

[@AssassinAfzal]

Except instead of starving the people are obese

[@MaohannadZhar]

In my history book it says that Thermidor was the new name for august not July.

[@kayungwang-yujin739]

Thermidor is from 19th July to 17th August

[@gillz666]
