I will be on for sure. Let me tell you that you inspire me. My history teacher from 7th to 9th grade (european) was awesome. And even though i didn´t pursue an History career, i was always interested in it because of him. You remind me of him. Thanks for the effort you are putting into this channel, and don´t be afraid to pause and give your insight. That´s what makes it awesome. Sorry if any mistakes in English not my first language.

[@alvhawk4461]

This guy knows how to react He isn't pausing at the worst times He isn't just watching it without saying anything. He is giving information that is unique to the video and is not just saying what the video is saying or ignoring the video. Perfect reaction

[@addison2746]

2. Sometimes he doesn't even need to pause it 3. He's literally seen the vid before so this isnt a reaction. If anything its a commentary so this is clickbait

Watch the Video if you want the Video Reactions are made to see the actual reaction and explanation of the Person reacting to it what most people call "Reaction Video“ are all just for money and pretty much the original video but worse because of all the talking

[@bridiemcclure]

@@dreamyukariyakumo8355 I really liked it when he PAUSED and talked. I mean a lot of people who react to the video don't know what the fuck is going on and sit there looking like O.o which gets boring, so I can really appreciate that he obviously knows shit - but mumbling as the video is going is a bit much - so I could completely understand if that specific aspect bothered people. But I'm sure he probably felt a bit from pressure not wanting to pause too much and then just sorta did the whole mumbling thing on the spur of the moment

[@dylanpaez9450]

Alex Gear Ah fuck off. It’s called a goddamn *reaction* video, the fuck were you trying to expect? Full audio clarity? The video playing over his voice? The title quite literally says *history teacher*, so what kind of self asserting dickhead are you to give an opinion that so quickly contradicts itself and the entire point of a “reaction” video?

[@arandomuser9459]

Alex Gear I did think that was a bit annoying. It was better when he paused the video to comment because it was easier to pay attention to what he was saying. But yeah great video overall even if I do agree that it was annoying at some points.

Thanks for the support! This is the hardest video on the internet to comment on. You could stop every 5 seconds! Such a great video though. Thanks for watching!

[@Static_Symphony]

@@MrTerry Thanks for the reply! Personally for me, I wouldn't mind if you stopped every few seconds to explain something. That is what's unique about the way you react to videos. You don't just simply watch, but you actually analyze and share what you think to your viewers, or even say some fun facts that most people don't even know or simply overlook. It's what makes your videos so interesting and at the same time educational for us viewers. Lastly, this ain't a criticism or anything, but if you want to talk about some things about the video, feel free to pause the video rather than talking while the video is playing. Again, i'm not criticising or anything but that would be a good way to improve your presentation in future videos! :) Glad that I found this channel hehe. Keep it up!

Also thank you for doing what is an true react video, rather than all the others where they simple say "Oh wow, that was crazy, tell me what you think in the comments", yours has input and insight, which is very refreshing to see.

Its really the Domino effect that this video "explains" so well, with a bit of added insight. I guess its because its so short. So many times in my history classes, the domino effect of something was completely overshadowed, because the effects were talked about 10 lessons later. For example, in my mind the Portugese Spice Empire and the Fall of Constantinople were never even logically connected, until this video and your insight pointed it out.

I love this channel, and your interjections are all genuinely interesting to listen to. Great educational channel and reactions to these videos!

[@cormyat07]

The way our schools teach world history is like explaining the storyline of Game of Thrones starting with season seven, cutting out all the scenes that take place in any but one location, and then having to fill in details as you go along. I think the reason people love this video so much is because by starting at the beginning and working to the present with the visuals, you get a sense of the overall timeline, and an overview of how civilization came together one puzzle-piece at a time and about where your region's rise to prominence falls on that timeline. It also helps concepts such as trade routes, the spread of religion, and our history of conflict make more sense. I know for me, a few disparate ideas suddenly clicked into place watching this, like someone finally let me actually watch a complete summary of Game of Thrones. Then you fill in some interesting details, like the importance of east-to-west land continuity, latitude, availability of water, and so many things suddenly make more sense.

We did a great activity in 6th grade where we kind of reenacted the silk road where we were trying to avoid plague and picking up ideas was more important than transferring goods.

unlike other reaction channels, you actually provide extra thought on the topic, and more insight to the video. congratulations

It’s been so long since I sat in an actual formal setting for a history class. This channel is reminding me why I fell in love with history in the first place, and how many great (and not so great) teachers I’ve had. I still love it, and I appreciate these videos SO much. It’s the one time I will ever say that I miss being at school. When your teacher is passionate and knowledgeable about their subject, it’s totally infectious. Thanks for reminding me why I love history and learning Mr Terry 🤓❤️

This video is great as a teaching tool because it shows you things that you dont know stuff about. When there is a thing you dont understand, its a great jumping off point to go and investigate (or in the classroom, teach) I can imagine a class project, where a group of students takes any single segment of this video and prepares a 20 minute video/presentation themselves that tries to have the same information density and filter for the most history changing, most interesting things. That way they end up reading a BUNCH of stuff. Honestly the segments of my history classes i remember best is the ones i actually researched myself instead of the stuff just told to me.

[@mysterioushawk2171]

Aaaaaah your commentary in addition to this video makes it an actual reaction video and an absolute of a history lesson. I wish I could have had a history teacher like you sir...

[@geekasauruswreks8789]

Hi, Mr. Terry! I also enjoy Bill Wurtz's History of the Entire World...I Guess, and watch it every few months. I understand a fair amount of the video but, there are a lot of concepts he touches on that I don't really grasp. Though I enjoy learning about history in my spare time, I'm in a field where this knowledge isn't really required (nursing). However, I do love learning history and think everyone should know how we got to where we are today. Not just in the US, but globally. Your reaction video to this is by far my favorite compared to the others I've seen. I realize, as you said, if you kept pausing the video it would go on for a very long while but I still found myself wishing you would pause and explain more. Would you possibly consider doing a series of videos based around this video? Each one could offer further information on what Mr. Wurtz is touching on. At that point, time constraints would be much less of an issue. Of course, you could do something similar using your own curriculum to teach World History. I just would like to find a series of videos that cover the breadth of Mr. Wurtz's video, but also go into detail. I've watched all the history videos available on Crash Course (love that channel!) and they're wonderful, but as much as I love them, they focus on the larger picture because they don't want to propagate "Big Man History". While I understand their reasoning, I think it's important to talk about historically significant figures in depth at times, and to be fair to Crash Course, they do sometimes. Just not as often as I would like, I suppose. I'm guessing you probably use some of Crash Course's videos in your classroom, since you use this one. If I may ask, where do you teach? I'm looking for general locale (such as state if you're in the US), not the specific school, obviously. :) I'm very happy to see you agreeing with Mr. Wurtz's video on such topics as evolution. I'm relatively positive that I can rule Texas out as the state you teach in, unless things have recently changed there. I don't see why Christianity and evolution can't go together, honestly. I'm no longer a Christian, but when I was I believed evolution was part of God's plan and how he intended for life on earth to come about. At any rate, I get a bit heated when religion pushes into a school's curriculum. For example, the state of Texas is metaphorically hamstringing their students when it comes to education. What happens to those students when they go on to college? You seem like a great teacher and I'm sure your students love you. I wish I had a history teacher like you back in high school (I'm assuming that's what level you teach). I'm also curious, how do you get around the cursing in the video in school? Do you have a censored version or is the state you teach in a bit more relaxed about materials containing profanities? As an example, I live in Florida and my children have to get a signed permission slip from me to watch anything that isn't G rated until high school. At the high school level they usually only send permission slips if the video is going to be talking about "controversial" subjects, such as evolution or sexual education. Sorry for such a long comment! I just felt compelled to leave it after watching. You may never even see it and if that's the case hopefully a helpful viewer may be able to answer some of my questions. If you do see it, however, I want to thank you for being a teacher. I truly believe teaching is one of the most important jobs in the world. Making sure young people go into the world with the knowledge they need is crucial, because they are our most important resource, in my opinion. The same thanks goes out to any teachers that happen to see this comment. I appreciate you, even if others (including those responsible for your paychecks) don't. I think in a country as prosperous as the US, teachers should be much more highly valued. Thank you for all the positive ways your impact your students. Edit: Liked and subscribed :)

[@Metrion77]

It's always so interesting to see the repercussions carry through history. The devlopment of the sassanid empire and the emergence of competing empires between rome and middle east led to the middle east being sheltered from Rome's implosion, and the information saved from Rome surviving in the middle east. The slow conquering of the byzantines led to the crusades, which brought back treasures and technologies that, with the rise of literacy, sparked the rennaisance. And then when the byzantines fell and the spice trade was cut off, it led to the expansion of portugal east to the india ocean and the expansion of Spain west into the new world.

[@Inferiis]

so basically if the Sassanids weren't there we'd still live in the middle age. (Obviously 500+ years have passed, so maybe in another way we'd still get here)

[@Metrion77]

@@Inferiis Who knows? The Sassanids lost to the muslim caliphates, and it was during the Abassid Caliphate dynasty that the islamic golden age occurred and the turks began threatening Constantinople and kickstarted the crusades. Fun fact, the Knights Templar supposedly began worshipping a demon "Baphomet" after raiding the middle east. A common theory is that Ba-Ho-Met is actually Mo-Ha-Med (Mohammed) IE the Knights Templar turned to islamic christianity.

I wonder when early humanoids started thinking of them selves as seperate from the animals

[@AeneasGemini]

from day 1 I imagine. If we could access the brains of animals I'm sure they'd distinguish themselves from every other species too. Humans *are* animals and one of things all animals do is put their own species first

[@holligarcia4368]

Most likely when they began to talk. They must have thought about themselves as essentially pack animals, like wolves. They traveled in groups, they helped eachother, they fought other "packs", they fought amongst eachother to see who was the leader. Then, I think, they started talking and socializing with eachother, and after a while they must have realized, "hey, we can talk, we use tools, so we aren't like those dogs over there."

[@musical_lolu4811]

Who cares, it's all speculative.

@@AeneasGemini I agree. We as small children can discern pets and other animals from ourselves easily before ever understanding the idea of what a species is.

I’m so glad you spoke on the first segment regarding time and the nature of existence. I feel like most reactions have that same reaction you described.

33:52 “when there’s a will, there’s a way” actually a portuguese writer (Fernando Pessoa) wrote something similar about the Discovery Age (because it’s so important to our Portuguese culture and history): “Deus quer, o Homem sonha, a obra nasce” which roughly translates to “When it’s God’s will, a man’s dream, it happens”. (Sorry, that part just reminded me of one of the most iconic phrases in Portuguese literature) Edit: Also a correction: 39:25 In the 1700s the Portuguese achieved their peak, after freeing of Spanish rule over Iberia they start to heavily colonize Brazil and they find tons and tons of gold there and achieve their peak economical status, that came with their most influential period in Europe, rivaled only with by when they dominated the spice trade (although that didn’t last for very long), which they absolutely squander by signing the Methuen treaty with the English and waste all their newfound riches on buildings. Also, massive earthquake in Lisbon in 1755 and revolution(s) in the 1800s, delayed industrialization and all that goes to shit. But yeah, eventually the English and French just say screw the Tordesillas and take over the world while battling each other to see who will take most of the (new) new world.

[@robmartin525]

Another point in the analysis of the development of China. The Chinese were slowed in technological advancements because of the creation of china (plates, bowls, cups etc) This prevented the further development of glass, which can be used for microscopes and glasses. Glasses being of particular importance because the smart people (like Mr Terry) were able to read/write much later into life. Thus making their careers longer and more productive.
