    As best I can tell, this video has been uploaded with subtitles, which is a commendable nod to accessibility.
    As a DHH (deaf or hard of hearing) viewer, though, I made it 3:32 in this video not paying any attention at all to your narrative what for toggling CC back and forth. I only committed so much because this video was linked on a subreddit I enjoy-most don’t get that much effort out of your DHH viewers.
    Please consider using your script to amend captioning as a nod toward accessibility while avoiding forcing your hearing viewers to use subtitles-especially since your subtitles do not actually match your audio track. This is barely contained chaos to a DHH viewer.
    Also agree with another commenter that the music track could be dialed back a bit-I might not even need CC if I could actually hear the narration!
    Subscribed on a trial basis. Looking forward to seeing you grow and improve.

    East India Company melakukan tukar guling wilayahnya di Indonesia dengan voc di new amsterdam, kemudian mengubah new amsterdam menjadi new york, yang nantinya mendirikan negara baru USA.
    Lalu VOC beroperasi di Indonesia. Indonesia waktu itu mempunyai kerajaan yang sangat kuat yaitu Banten. Jadi belum ada penjajahan.... hanya hubungan dagang. Lalu Kerajaan Banten runtuh karena dahsyatnya letusan krakatau. Melihat lemahnya nusantara, kerajaan belanda mengambil alih VOC dan mulai membentuk pemerintahan penjajah di nusantara.

    At 8.21mins your map is incorrect. Ireland was a colonised country and was under full British rule at that time, The section that you show on your map did not exist in the then colony of Ireland. That section did not come into being until the 20th.century.

    People just take for granted that colonization was a thing, and a bad thing, without stopping to ask themselves how it happened; how did a single company, from the other side of the world, from a country with 1/12 the population, with pre-industrial technology, managed to take over a continent-sized territory and its people.

    More politically correct nonsense. India was never a country before the British came. It was a dirt poor land with illiterate farmers. The British came and for two hundred years significantly IMPROVED the lives of Indians. The British developed roads, infrastructure, a system of education with schools and colleges. Introduced the English language. Introduced sports like cricket, field hockey and track and field. Later the British helped developed a government and finally helped India become an independent country in 1947. I should know I am from India, I was born there, both my parents were born there and all four of my grandparents and all eight of my great-grandparents were born there.

Albert Einstein quoted “we owe a lot to Indians” as in education wise, robert oppenheimer and even todays scientists talks about what they have learn and Indian literature, don’t believe me search from yourself, don’t be so ignorant and assume whatever is written is history is 100% accurate, history is always written by winners, do you own research too.
