[@alexruddies1718]

@@buddymoore6504+ Yeah, the United States didn't want to be ruled, it wanted to rule. Manifest Destiny may be a good example. And it's a very stupid thing. We shouldn't rule the world. We attack sovereign nations without a moral, ethical, or just reasons. We undermine other nations' political processes, and try to force others to comply to our wills through threats of economic, military or covert actions. You know, the United States would be a great nation (for the first time) if we actually tried to make the world a better place. If we acted more like a leader than a tyrannical despotic nation, imagine what progress we would make in this world. But we got to fix the issues here first before we can actually do any good. Unfortunately, we have yet to have a government that actually doesn't have the people's interests at heart. Not now, not at the founding of the United States, and I don't think anytime in near future.

The Germans(German speaking people) are arguably the cultural heavyweights of Europe. Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Kant, Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner, Bach, Hesse, Goethe, Dürer etc... To see no further back than the great world wars is to disregard some of the most outstanding intellectual and artistic achievements of any country in any age.

[@cartmann227]

BARBATUS 89 we will see

[@publicminx]

lets not forget the real heavy weights,: the many in the field of natural science like mathematics, physics, chemistry, economy, historiy, archaelogy, geography, urban planners/architects, blacksmiths/engineers and constructors ... most real innovations and changes are from them. and I dont just talk about Gutenberg, Gauss, Euler, Rothshield, Fugger, Goldmann/Sachs, Gutenberg, Einstein, Planck, Leibnitz, , Goedel, Escher, Bach, Siemens, Daimler, Porsche, Horch (Audi), Braun, Bosch, Hahn, Bunsen, Koch, Paracelsius, Altzheimer, Freud, Jung, Schliemann, Humboldt and so on ... for instance Knight armor (best were South Germany and North Italy) and Swords, complex mechanical constructions already in medival age (many famous blacksmiths!) ... and the ones who crated the infrastructure/universities/spots for that ... today often more 'entertainers' or philosophers' are named (and also shown in the TV, even in their 'modern versions'), but the real impact had mostly other ones ... of course some were generalists like Dürer (a real heavy weight) ... and keep in mind how many battles who changed the history were the result of 'better weapons', better ships, better food ... constructed/innovated/brought by whom? it was already an interesting documentary if one just focus on the genious blacksmith and little developers of the old times in Europe. many less known yet famous people at their time - with a lot of impact. hidden champions!

@@publicminx An Austrian belittled my people, the Spanish, telling me we merely piggy-backed on Portuguese expertise. I never belittled his race, yet he belittled mine, so I mocked him using his own standard, telling him that if what he said of my people were true, then the Germans accomplished nothing without piggy-backing on the British Industrial Revolution. He admitted it was so since he didn't want me to disassociate with him as an enemy.

[@publicminx]

I would see it relaxed and a bit out of the box. The cultural hot spots changed over time in history. If you look over a few thousand years then from Persia, Greek, Roman to the successor of the Roman to the more middle and northern Europe countries and their colonies - which are are at the moment the most wealthy and innovative cultures (UK, Canada, Western- and Northern Europe) ... slowly Southeast Asia adds more and more (Japan, South Korea, Singapore, China is on the same path) and might even overtake on some aspects... But my posting was about something different: due to the left wing/socialist ideology we often talk to much about cultural lightweight cultures (like entertainment, actors, social/moral-'philosophers') but less about the real cultural heavy weights ... we also have to much left wing milieu actors, singers and so on in the TV talking about the reality and society instead of real scientists. I don't like this shift from natural science to ideology/religion ...

Grateful aya. That which is printed in history books is controlled by the world ruling elite. He who controls the money, including hard earned tax dollars, also control what is poured into your mind. The whole world is deceived. Governments, whether communist or fascist have been kept kept in check by the Vatican. The Vatican is nothing but a tool used by the world ruling elite to maintain control over the masses. Those world ruling elite who control the world banks, also control governments. This is why the congress of the U. S. has been deneutered and has become a congress of do nothingers. They have been bought off by the world elite and delagated their power to the unelected authoritarian bureaucracy spearheaded by the CIA and answerable to no one. The world ruling elite has taken over the government of the U. S. in order to reestablish the European revival of the Holy Roman Empire. The spirit of Charlemagne will rise again. The spirit of Charlemagne was controlled by Satan. There was nothing holy about the Holy Roman Empire. History is controlled by those with the power and money. The truth about the Holy Roman Empire from Justinian's kingdom beginning the church--state relationship to Charlemagne, to Otto the Great, to Charles V, Habsburg Dynasty, to Napoleon, and on to the sixth kingdom which was Hitler; all these kingdoms had one thing in common. They all had a great false church riding on their backs. That great false church used the power of those individual governments to supress the truth. This always led to rivers of blood. That spirit of the revival of the Holy Roman Empire, a European ten nation combine led by Germany with the Vatican riding on its back will soon rear its ugly head. Rivers of blood will flow once again. After blood flows like rivers and billions are dead worldwide, never again will man rule over man. Mankind was given free moral agency and chose to partake of the tree of good and evil. Man chose Satan's nature rather than God's nature. Mankind chose his own governments, his own RELIGIONS, his own science, his own economy and his own educational system. All of mankind's institutions are inside out. Mankind has created a bowl full of sewage by rejecting God's nature. Because mankind was created as free moral agents and chose on his own to follow his own human nature, better known as satanic nature, man will learn the hard way. By aversion therapy and the rivers of blood man creates by his weapons of mass destruction, mankind will be purged of his pompous, arrogant, puffed up with pride attitude and will be humbled. For the first time, mankind will be free of the influence and control of Satan and his demons to be reeducated in God's way of life; to live in God's spiritual ten commandments as a way of life. As for the world ruling elite who play the nations against each other as though they were chess pieces, they will learn what God meant when he said, "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to. make it in God's kingdom."

Like More coffee said: It is inaccurate and factually wrong at times. And then there are omissions. Why did the Romans call them Germans? Because they came from Germania??? Lol! It is more likely that they called them germanii meaning something like 'warring people' in latin and thus called the area the same people lived Germania. The origin story that is stated as fact should also be taken lightly. Though migration is mentioned it does seem to be misaligned. It is more likely that there is a link to the people we know as ancient Assyrians (who are described by contemporaries as pale in complexion, formidable warriors, highly cultured, etc. and not Iraqi), hence the connection to the so called Aryans being a form of Assyrian (though there is some confusion thrown in as some went to India). There are many examples of the connection such as Austria is called Oestenryk (eastern kingdom).

Every time I hear "Germany" refering to something prior to 1848 I get goose bumps... ...In a bad way... I watched this because I was interested in how german history would be portraied...because it is a thousand years full of complex topics and there are some misconception that seem to be common in english-speaking countries. (For example: If you see a map of national borders in medieval times.... It is wrong... yes always. And many words aren't chosen well. For example the modern concepts of "Monarch", "Nation" or "State" don't fit into medieval reality...) Some common misconcetions are repeated here (more than I care to write about...) but overall it still seems well done. There are some oversimplifications but If you don't turn a mosquito into an elephant (common german proverb) it seems to be an adequate synopsis of german history. PS: Don't get me wrong...there are more things in this video that are terribly wrong than I would like to write about... BUT... In Germany it's considered praise enough if you are not beeing scolded... ...at the same time we are told to say nothing if we can not say something nice... soooooooo........................The short mention of the concept of Translatio Imperii in 31:10 is ery nice. I'm sure this is a good overview for many people but (coming from a historitian) I can not follow your enthusiasm and I wouldn't call this "true history not watered down"...

@hanz patinski I fear they will play a huge role in massively destabilising Europe in the centuries to come in ways the Continent probably hasn't seen since the Wars of Religion. I mean, they tend to feel more kinship with their religious brethren than they do with their respective 'countrymen', so to speak. This could lead to desires for territorial change as they grow in numbers. Also, Pew research published a few years ago showed their growth in various European countries by the year 2050. They're set to be around 16% of Britain's population by then, 20% of Sweden's, 10% of Germany's, 17% of France's, and 12% of Italy's. That's only 30 years from now let alone by the end of this century. I would post the link but it has the name of the religion in the link and KZbin deletes my comments mentioning the religion. If you do a search for "Pew research growth of [name of religion] in Europe by 2050" then it should come up.

Next step, limit welfare to citizens, like the left wing parties in Europe are currently discussing. Then offer them the chance to enlist, where they'll make better money than the welfare they don't qualify for anymore. They'd rather do that, than go home. Then, the leaders of Europe will have a military filled with men who despise Europe, Europeans, and European culture, chomping at the bit to stomp on Europeans wherever their masters order them to.
