A note here on the issue of class systems: It's important for an empire not to become too top-heavy with it's class system. What i mean is that, while you almost inevitably have classes in any society, just from the way societies work (The notable exception here being the incans, who were probably the closest thing to rEaL cOmMuNiSm in all of history), the elites must always remember on whose shoulders they stand. The french revolution happened because the first and second estates had gathered the vast majority of wealth in their hands while the third was starving. The october revolution happened (in large parts, though the entirety of WW1 certainly was a big factor too) because the nobility lived in absolute luxury while the peasants were starving. Generally speaking, if the top of society gets too heavy, the bottom starts to ask itself why it should keep carrying the top. Plus, of course, this also makes you vulnerable towards invaders. Why should you fight to maintain a nobility that stuffs itself with food in evermore ridiculous displays of gluttony while you starve producing the food they feast on for every meal, when you might as well let a foreign power overthrow that nobility? You're already starving, it's not like the invasion can make things much worse for you.
That rule isn't quite so universal. More accurately it needs to keep the keys to power up. In many instances the bottom will be a key to power, but in ages like when the chariot dominated bronze age warfare, they were so disconnected they largely had no part in any of it. They were repressed by everyone and everything. This made countries rise and fall in the same areas incredibly common, but since it had little to no effect on the living standards of the people (that is to say... barely any at all no matter who) it doesn't work. The class structure can't be too top heavy while the bottom can actually do something. If they just can't do anything regardless no matter what, they might as well not even be in the system at all and contribute nothing to whether or not it exists.
@@buddermonger2000 There have been peasant revolutions since the dawn of time. Hunger being a catalyst for revolt is such a well-known phenomenon that even 2000 years ago the ancient roman empire subsidized food for the poor to negate it.
@SPCv4 No, there were peasant revolts that occurred, but not peasant revolutions. The difference is success for the most part, as well as motive. Not to mention, in 46 BC, the peasants were still largely armed and represented in the Roman senate, meaning that the bottom was indeed a key to power. However, that's not always the case, as in the example I listed above. The iron age was very different from the bronze age, in that you just needed a lot of men in order to do anything militarily, and it was pretty easy to equip people, which wasn't the case with the bronze age.
6:10 a small correction, the Byzantine (Greek Eastern Roman) Empire didn't use the Latin Numerals but Greek. So 16 would be ΙϚ', Ι is 10 and Ϛ is 6. We actually learnt that at school in Greece at one point, I think it was a one day seminar. The numerals aren't that hard, they work like Arabic but each digit has a different symbol of the Greek alphabet if it is a multiple of 1, 10 or 100. Then 1.000 has the same symbols as 1, 10.000 has the same symbol as 10 and so on. This is because the very archaic Greek alphabet had 27 letters, so they were split in three teams of 9. The first nine were 1-9, the second nine were 10-90 and the third nine 100-900

Tbh there is another way of creating a massive "empire". You should of course start with giving the people a writing system, a language and beliefs, but after that you should just form a nomadic army that "forcibly" enlists people into it just like the Mongols did at the beginning. After that just break this army into pieces and hope that your language would be preserved by their writing just like Jews preserved Hebrew, their warlike nature would allow them to conquer more tribes and forcibly enlist them and they wouldn't fight because they share the same language, beliefs and you can also give them some idea patriotism and religious fanaticism in order to make them expand outwards instead of infight.
2:50 I agree, all the decrees and laws that say that human rights are inherent or that we have them by default are wrong, I think they should be rewritten. They should specifically state that it is not god or nature that gives us our rights, but it is WE who guarantee our rights, we who fought for them who died for them, and who benefit from them, and that we should continue fighting for them even for people not within our nations, china, Russia, Afghanistan, those dictatorships should fall and be replaced by humanitarian republics. GLORY TO HUMANITY!!!
Eh, at the end of the day it's all idealism, so saying it's wrong or right would be... inaccurate? By the same principle we keep human rights around at all, we can still keep the "they are inherent for anyone no matter what" rule.
It's risky. By giving the decree that rights are given also means they can be taken away. For example, in our American constitution, we are by birth situated with inalienable rights, which means that we aren't given them, but have always had them and always will. They can't take back something they didn't give you.
Awesome video, really interesting to watch :) I‘ve got a question for you, did you read Yuval Harari‘s Books? I‘m asking because of the way you described France not actually being a real thing.
Hundreds of thousands died in the battle of France, while the army mostly just sat there watching Poland die, it did actually fight the germans when they were on the offensive, saving the ass of numerous brits in Dunkerque and fighting even while encircled on the maginot. The state had to surrender when the enemy was in front of Paris, as beyond that point you're effectively asking your entire population to fight to the death, which many after WW1 or even in general did not really want to. Remember the fascists were an oddball, the worse you'd usually expect as France would have been losing Alsace again and getting humiliated like in 1870-1871, not being fully occupied and having to participate in genocide.
@@fafalawaniusa2883 why not? Its generally the idea of social constructs taken to its logical conclusion. Even human rights are as fake as the gods people worship.
