Fun fact about the Samurai, they were bowmen before swordsman thus speeding their conversion to firearms. The katana you see so often was a sign of status more than anything, being a large reason why they were illegalized in the Meiji era.

[@deadline93]

Intrestingly Katanas only became populare at the end of the Sengoku jidai due to the expansion of the samurai class and more poor samurai who couldent affored war horses enterd service. Before this the prefeard sword where the tachi/odachi. A bit before the Edo era 4 casts where formed and only samurai where allowed 2 blades most samurai came from the new samurais of the sengoku jidai so the katana became a staple of samurai life. Also most samurai at this time if they ever ended up figthing would do so with the swords as warfare was preaty much over in japan untill 1853. Its wierd we think samurai where fixated on swords when thire prefeard weapon was always the bow and they where skilled horse archers.

2:20 Nope, the Ottomans were relatively unique in their battle royal approach to inheritance. Europe had extremely complicated inheritance laws that were central to legitimizing rulership and only powerful factions could make a dent to support a claimant who is not first in line in most cases. The Ottomans basically let the princes openly assassinate each other, and a new ruler would execute or murder any surviving brothers he deemed any threat to his rule. China operated on a kind of appointment system where the Emperor picked the heir apparent among his sons, but ultimately kept the rest for spares, which left the door open for constant intrigue.

0:07 I mean, we live in a world where having slave owners for ancestors makes you yourself a slave owner despite never doing the act

[@voidyvoid11]

What?

[@danielhopkins2277]

No. We live in a world where having the same skin color like the very few slave owner ancestors makes you yourself a slave owner, despite never doing the act or without a slave owner ancestor in your family tree. Although you have probably more blacks in Africa with slave owner ancestors than white ones in Europe or America... especially more than in Europe.

@@voidyvoid11 African-Americans in modern times Trace back their ancestry to when their ancestors were slaves Then they check who the slave owner was Then they go down the list of decedents for said slave owner all the way to modern time Then they seek out those decedents of the slave owner in order to get reparations of some sort Modern blacks who are free demand reparations from a private family who are not guilty of the act of enslaving their ancestors They go through all that trouble in order to guilt trip a family that had nothing to do with enslavement nor are they responsible for the standard of living of said people going through the hassle It's a victim mentality That energy could have been spent doing something else instead of harassing strangers that just so happen to be decedents of the guy/woman that enslaved their ancestors

Relax my guy People that make those memes just want to undermine American achievement And shame if it's an American that made it, deserves to have their citizenship revoked

@@mawile3037 ik, I am not upset. It just sucks to see people praise the USSR for things, and then completely simplify and leave out important details to make us look stupid. It sucks.

6:09 No, the Vikings didn’t do that as far as we know, they did however kidnap a lot of women who they wanted to “marry” and I’m sure not all those women were over 18.
