America has so far been a pretty big topic in this season, and it again takes center stage in this episode. Considering its monumental role in twentieth-century history, this is only natural. Still, we like to give an international history as possible, so it's exciting to also introduce Sweden here. It is a small country but historically significant for a number of reasons. It is a pioneer in social democracy, a country that has consistently stayed neutral in world affairs since 1814, and last but not least, the home of Indy Neidell.

can you please do a video or list in your comment on these videos and homefront videos how one can complain to alphabet inc/youtube about their censorship of certain videos? I want to submit some complaints to them but the way that I have submitted complaints int the past is no longer available and I have not been able to find a new way to submit any new complaints. I would appreciate your guidance and hope for change that will allow everyone to view content of their choosing and that youtube is able to come up with a rating system that may limit younger audiences from seeing certain things such as violence or sex as entertainment and will allow adupts such as myself to view whatever I want. The current system is completely broke.
Herr Verschueren, you usually seem so strict and perhaps even cruel, in your tie reviews, could you explain what is it that impresses you about this tie?
I love how neutral, non-arbitrary, and somewhat comprehensive (considering time limitations) your work is. Greatly appreciate your work documenting history in a way that tries to bring you to see things from how they were at the time, rather than judging the past through our privileged position. The 20th century was a pretty miserable time to be alive, but it is the foundation of the modern world we live and understanding it gives important experience as to current trends and decisions ahead of us in this ever ongoing wind of change.
Guillain Barre Syndrome(GBS) is closely associated with the Spanish Flu and the Swine Flu(which turn out to be identical). Many of the dead from both flus were actually paralyzed by GBS. Many were buried alive. A flood in Louisiana washed up a cemetery from the 1918 pandemic. Many bodies showed that the people had tried to claw their way out of their coffin. I was given a double dose of the Swine flu shot in 1976. I ended up with full blown GBS. I was totally paralyzed and on a ventilator for several weeks. I then rapidly recovered about 80%. One of the doctors said that the people that go fast seem to come back fast but the ones that slowly get worse seemed to not recover. Your southern huckster imitation reminded me of the car salesman from Cheech and Chong's first album. Good Luck, Rick
@@rosesprog1722 I doubt that many people were actually vaccinated during the 1918 flu. One of my neighbors, when I was a kid, told me of his being sent to France in WWI. By the time his ship got to France, there was only a hand full of them left alive. The flu killed more than 90% of the men on the ship. They struggled to operate the ship. My wife was a nurse and from Louisiana. After I was discharged from WRAMC she told me about the flood and cemetery. The fear of being buried alive goes way back. It is a horrible thought.
So I started to donate directly onto the time ghost army page I also realized that you guys have the patreon and I went to go look on there and I saw that the time ghost army is only making like $32,000 roughly a month which on one hand is awesome that 6,000 people or so are able to do that to help these guys on their mission but at the same time that's not a lot for them to live on let alone to do all that they do on. I don't know how we can do it but we got to get the recruitment out going for these guys and help them to earn the money they need to keep giving us the content that is invaluable in these crazy times as it shows us a little bit of who we are and who we don't have to be. If you haven't already and you do love this content please do go join the time ghost army, I am now a private first class it's not a lot but if enough of us do it it adds up to a whole hell of a lot.

Thanks Mike that's good of you to say. Glad you're enjoyed this series - it's more niche than our other ones but very interesting. In answer to your other comments on this video: Indy was born in Texas but lives in Sweden now. He reads off a teleprompter, that's how he has the perfect recall you describe. It is not a loose script but rather a thoroughly researched and planned one. We are far from having an army of researchers though, there is only a handful of us. You can check out who writes and researches the episodes in the description beneath the video. As you'll see there are not many of us. People outside the States might not have had White Castle but they have likely heard of it thanks to Harold and Kumar. Feel free to ping us more questions.
I read in a book about modern inventions that air conditioning in a Pittsburgh maternity ward cut infant mortality by tremendous numbers. So it would interesting to see if the Act you talked about provided funding for the A/C.
Jeanette Rankin also was the only US lawmaker to vote Against war with Japan after Pearl Harbor. She also voted against WWI declaration of war. I wonder if this unpopular move actually set women back in elect positions.
Just a few years before, Swedish senior army officers under the leadership of the famous explorer Sven Hedin and sanctioned by Queen Victoria tried to remove parliamentarism and install some kind of military government answering only to the monarch.

When "welfare state" become a widespread political slur in the USA? The 1980s? Does the term have a similarly negative connotation in any European countries?
Several years ago a PM of England used the phrase, "our beloved welfare state. .." If he'd said that in the USA, he never would have held office again.
It does not have that hard negative connotation in Europe. Most European countries (all of the EU and the UK) are what is called Social Market Economies. This is a system of capitalist society first created by the Conservative German government of the 1880s. It makes social security and workers' rights an integral part of the economic fabric, while retaining the tenets of market economy such as freedom of enterprise, private ownership, and free competition. Chancellor Bismarck was the architect of that system and he created it to make a measured and reasonable response to demands for more worker's protection and rights. One has to consider the vast disparity between haves and have nots at the time, and Bismarck understood that this was fertile ground for Socialism, and a potential revolution. And when we say Socialism here, we don't mean the nonsense ideas about what Socialism is that are prevalent (especially in the USA) but actual Socialism, as in the abolishment of private ownership of capital, goods, and enterprise. All of that said, also in Europe the term Welfare State is sometimes used on both side of the political spectrum, as something desirable or undesirable depending on what side you are on.
@@TimeGhost To hell with all of the social security, welfare nonsense every individual should stand on their own. We do not need social safety nets, if you fall crash and burn, there is no room for nets in a free and capitalist society.
@@adambowman8543 Don't take it up with us... we're just documentarian historians and the reply just outlines the facts in Europe, and how it came there. Political punditry we leave to you.
@@adambowman8543 Please do not confuse Social Security with welfare. At 69 years old, yes, I am admittedly receiving Social Security. However, far from being welfare or an 'entitlement', my monthly checks are simply the government FINALLY returning to me SOME of the money they took (without my permission, by the way) from every single paycheck I earned since I started working at 16. Considering the change in the buying power of the dollar over the years, I will more than likely die before I ever even come CLOSE to getting back everything they took from me. That is hardly 'welfare'. If anything, Social Security, rather than being seen as an 'entitlement', should be viewed as a 'savings account' in which people are forced to participate. In other words, it was their money to begin with, money which they worked for and earned.
Refreshing to see a non-hysterical discussion of Swedish social democracy and its Marxism. Parliamentary socialism is so often ignored or willfully mischaracterized. Good work.
@@Kay2kGer I've heard of it in the First World War channel, but in Italy we just study our poets and maybe Hemingway. This is Ungaretti: We are as in autumn on branches the leaves

This would have been a nice opportunity to introduce viewers both to the original German pronunciation of the letter "Z" (even though zeitgeist has become a loanword, entitled to its very own English pronunciation) as well as the fact that Armistice Day, in Germany, is not so much associated with WWI but rather just marks the start of street carnival as the general peak of the carnival season. But hey!
The US still has some of the worst infant mortality, maternal mortality and still birth rates in the developed world. For example US infant mortality rate is 6/1000 live births while in the UK it is 3.8/1000 and the maternal mortality rate is 17/100,000 births compared to 6.8/100,000 in the UK.
@@weirdshibainu the 4 parents of those 2 children in 1000 whose children would have survived in the UK and that 1 child in 10,000 who grows up without a mother who would have survived in the UK. US health care is shit and expensive. You would think that would be of concern to everyone in the US.

Why were there only 70 U.S. Senate votes cast when there were 48 states? 2 U.S. Senators/state x 48 states and I get 96 Senatorial votes not 70. What happened with the other 26?
They were abstentions. There is unfortunately not much information on why a relatively high number abstained, although you can make some safe guesses why.
In 2016, John F. Ditunno Jr, MD, et al were invited by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (the association of doctors who treat a wide variety of medical conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons) to write a historical analysis of the medical history of FDR’s diagnosis of poliomyelitis in 1921. The article is titled, “Franklin Delano Roosevelt: The Diagnosis of Poliomyelitis Revisited.” Considering the misinformation contained in this episode and referenced widely elsewhere on the Internet and even in some recent biographies, I summarize Ditunno and his team’s findings here. The authors of the 2003 historical analysis (re: FDRs poliomyelitis diagnosis that's referenced in this video's episode analysis) used a statistical analysis of FDRs case by selectively choosing some of his reported symptoms, but not all. However, the findings of leading contemporary, expert physicians, who were deeply knowledgeable in the then-common disease and who periodically examined him during the period of 1921-24, strongly support the poliomyelitis diagnosis in FDRs case. The most significant diagnostic features of polio are the absence of objective sensory findings in the presence of flaccid motor paralysis. Findings of fever, prodromal hyperesthesia, more severe residual proximal muscle weakness, and extensive lower extremity impairment needing mobility with long leg braces or a wheelchair are further evidence for the poliomyelitis diagnosis. Nonbulbar Guillain-Barre´ Syndrome (GBS), which shares the features of a flaccid paralysis and thus mimicking the initial presentation of poliomyelitis, has more than an 80% complete recovery with no reported cases of eventual wheelchair use. The most severe cases of GBS often have persistent objective sensory loss, associated with greater weakness in the feet and hands, which show no resemblance to FDRs impairment and disability. In light of the expert initial assessments by doctors completely familiar with the signs and symptoms of the then-common disease, review of FDRs initial and subsequent disease course, and residual symptoms in comparison with those of GBS, Ditunno and his team find no reason to question the diagnostic accuracy of poliomyelitis and, in doing so, they wish to put this debate to rest.
It actually came out of a joke between us all. Some of us were taught to speak British English and some of us were taught to speak American English, and there is always some light-hearted tension between us all on what the "correct" language is. It especially came up during the making of Pearl Habor, when a certain Limey on the team consistently spelt it "Pearl Habour"...much to everyone else annoyance. Calling the season "Harvest" was a nice middle-ground that didn't leave anyone cringing at the "wrong" word being used all the time and has the nice bonus of keeping things quite international. Some of the team are also native Germanic speakers, where the words for that season translate directly to harvest (Dutch: herfst, German: herbst). So to answer your question: it's harvest because we couldn't agree on anything else!
@@TimeGhost Thanks for such a quick and comprehensive response! Very cool. I'm currently entering the fourth (and hopefully last) round of interviews for my first full time job, and I can't wait to become a patron of Time Ghost as soon as I have an adult income!

Australian women were granted voting rights, regardless of any other those disgraceful, class-based ‘ property statuses ‘ , from 1902. Remarkably, women on the offshore territory of Pitcairn Island ( fans of films on ‘ Mutiny on the Bounty ‘, attached to the likes of Sir Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson, ought to be intrigued ) were entitled to vote in 1838.
Your comment shows that you don't know much about Pitcairn Island history - there weren't very many men there either but out of the roughly 160 people that lived there at the time, half were women.
@@TimeGhost How on earth could you be so presumptuous to crudely and dismissively judge my familiarity with the history of that island ? I suspect ( indeed, I’m certain ) this has a lot to do with my dismissal of Indy Nydals sympathies for a supposedly ‘ co - belligerent ‘ Finland, cheerfully engaging in the Nazi starvation of Leningrad’s citizenry, as well as shoving the Jewish populace into the caring hands of the gestapo. What in the dickens do demographics have to with the question, anyway ? If there were buy one female there, would she not be properly entitled to exercise a right to vote ?
Please don't take this as me being mean and I'm not a doctor, but 275 lbs seems a bit high even for 6'3". Maybe losing some weight is the answer if you really want one of the ties.
2:53 to 2:57 I have no idea why, but too me, that is quite funny. Also, Roosevelt's comeback mentioned at 3:31 to 3:34 reminds me of a possible comeback for Andrew Yang and is mayoral run for New York City. Just connecting history to current events.

1920: "we just want a little bit of pocket change to make sure our babies are healthy." 2020: 3/4 of government spending is on welfare and the country is rocketing towards insolvency.
If you're referring to the US, it was actually 2/3 (67%) of total government spending for the fiscal year 2019. That is, if you by 'welfare' mean financial support and health insurance for the elderly and the disabled, health insurance for poor children, and benefits for veterans.
@@neiloflongbeck5705 If you ask a historien, if the Rennaissance is "the modern times" - because the Rennaissance is an age - the answer will be no, because this age is gone by centuries. The 90s aren't the modern times anymore, too. And we don't know, if we some day stagnate or even regress, which won't be modern times, too. So, it depends.

@@adambowman8543 Don't take it up with us... we're just documentarian historians and the reply just outlines the facts in Europe, and how it came there. Political punditry we leave to you.
@@adambowman8543 Please do not confuse Social Security with welfare. At 69 years old, yes, I am admittedly receiving Social Security. However, far from being welfare or an 'entitlement', my monthly checks are simply the government FINALLY returning to me SOME of the money they took (without my permission, by the way) from every single paycheck I earned since I started working at 16. Considering the change in the buying power of the dollar over the years, I will more than likely die before I ever even come CLOSE to getting back everything they took from me. That is hardly 'welfare'. If anything, Social Security, rather than being seen as an 'entitlement', should be viewed as a 'savings account' in which people are forced to participate. In other words, it was their money to begin with, money which they worked for and earned.
The final minute is SPECTACULAR!
Refreshing to see a non-hysterical discussion of Swedish social democracy and its Marxism. Parliamentary socialism is so often ignored or willfully mischaracterized. Good work.
I predict that Virginia Wolfe and I are going to get into a bidding war over Indy's tie. It's beautiful!
Another great vid
Thanks Adam, we're glad you enjoyed the video!

@@mirkoema indy did an episode with sabaton about the poem and explains a bit more in details about it
In german school we are not realy taught about WW1 or poetry from this time

Excellent as ever
This would have been a nice opportunity to introduce viewers both to the original German pronunciation of the letter "Z" (even though zeitgeist has become a loanword, entitled to its very own English pronunciation) as well as the fact that Armistice Day, in Germany, is not so much associated with WWI but rather just marks the start of street carnival as the general peak of the carnival season.
But hey!
I like the ending of this show the most!
The US still has some of the worst infant mortality, maternal mortality and still birth rates in the developed world.
For example US infant mortality rate is 6/1000 live births while in the UK it is 3.8/1000 and the maternal mortality rate is 17/100,000 births compared to 6.8/100,000 in the UK.
3.8? Who's baby gets the 0.2? [sarcasm]
@@weirdshibainu the 4 parents of those 2 children in 1000 whose children would have survived in the UK and that 1 child in 10,000 who grows up without a mother who would have survived in the UK.
US health care is shit and expensive. You would think that would be of concern to everyone in the US.
@@davidwright7193 The overall quality of US health care in general is high. The main issue is the lack of affordability.
@@weirdshibainu A yes. US politics in a nutshell.
@@lycaonpictus9662 at the population level US health care is shit as it’s outcomes are poor. It is also very expensive. The UK spends less than half what the US spends on health care and gets better outcomes.
Why were there only 70 U.S. Senate votes cast when there were 48 states? 2 U.S. Senators/state x 48 states and I get 96 Senatorial votes not 70. What happened with the other 26?
They were abstentions. There is unfortunately not much information on why a relatively high number abstained, although you can make some safe guesses why.
In 2016, John F. Ditunno Jr, MD, et al were invited by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (the association of doctors who treat a wide variety of medical conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, nerves, bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, and tendons) to write a historical analysis of the medical history of FDR’s diagnosis of poliomyelitis in 1921. The article is titled, “Franklin Delano Roosevelt: The Diagnosis of Poliomyelitis Revisited.” Considering the misinformation contained in this episode and referenced widely elsewhere on the Internet and even in some recent biographies, I summarize Ditunno and his team’s findings here. The authors of the 2003 historical analysis (re: FDRs poliomyelitis diagnosis that's referenced in this video's episode analysis) used a statistical analysis of FDRs case by selectively choosing some of his reported symptoms, but not all. However, the findings of leading contemporary, expert physicians, who were deeply knowledgeable in the then-common disease and who periodically examined him during the period of 1921-24, strongly support the poliomyelitis diagnosis in FDRs case. The most significant diagnostic features of polio are the absence of objective sensory findings in the presence of flaccid motor paralysis. Findings of fever, prodromal hyperesthesia, more severe residual proximal muscle weakness, and extensive lower extremity impairment needing mobility with long leg braces or a wheelchair are further evidence for the poliomyelitis diagnosis. Nonbulbar Guillain-Barre´ Syndrome (GBS), which shares the features of a flaccid paralysis and thus mimicking the initial presentation of poliomyelitis, has more than an 80% complete recovery with no reported cases of eventual wheelchair use. The most severe cases of GBS often have persistent objective sensory loss, associated with greater weakness in the feet and hands, which show no resemblance to FDRs impairment and disability. In light of the expert initial assessments by doctors completely familiar with the signs and symptoms of the then-common disease, review of FDRs initial and subsequent disease course, and residual symptoms in comparison with those of GBS, Ditunno and his team find no reason to question the diagnostic accuracy of poliomyelitis and, in doing so, they wish to put this debate to rest.
Love this series
Why do you guys call the season Harvest? Was Fall/Autumn not popular yet? If not, when did it become so?
It actually came out of a joke between us all. Some of us were taught to speak British English and some of us were taught to speak American English, and there is always some light-hearted tension between us all on what the "correct" language is. It especially came up during the making of Pearl Habor, when a certain Limey on the team consistently spelt it "Pearl Habour"...much to everyone else annoyance.
Calling the season "Harvest" was a nice middle-ground that didn't leave anyone cringing at the "wrong" word being used all the time and has the nice bonus of keeping things quite international. Some of the team are also native Germanic speakers, where the words for that season translate directly to harvest (Dutch: herfst, German: herbst).
So to answer your question: it's harvest because we couldn't agree on anything else!
@@TimeGhost Thanks for such a quick and comprehensive response! Very cool. I'm currently entering the fourth (and hopefully last) round of interviews for my first full time job, and I can't wait to become a patron of Time Ghost as soon as I have an adult income!
@@Matthew-cw3gn Fourth round huh, that's awesome! Good luck from the TimeGhost Team! And thank you so much for wanting to join the TimeGhost Army, you all are what keeps this ship afloat.
The tie is awesome.
Australian women were granted voting rights, regardless of any other those disgraceful, class-based ‘ property statuses ‘ , from 1902. Remarkably, women on the offshore territory of Pitcairn Island ( fans of films on ‘ Mutiny on the Bounty ‘, attached to the likes of Sir Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson, ought to be intrigued ) were entitled to vote in 1838.
There weren't many women on the island I suspect. ..
Your comment shows that you don't know much about Pitcairn Island history - there weren't very many men there either but out of the roughly 160 people that lived there at the time, half were women.
@@TimeGhost How on earth could you be so presumptuous to crudely and dismissively judge my familiarity with the history of that island ? I suspect ( indeed, I’m certain ) this has a lot to do with my dismissal of Indy Nydals sympathies for a supposedly ‘ co - belligerent ‘ Finland, cheerfully engaging in the Nazi starvation of Leningrad’s citizenry, as well as shoving the Jewish populace into the caring hands of the gestapo.
What in the dickens do demographics have to with the question, anyway ? If there were buy one female there, would she not be properly entitled to exercise a right to vote ?
Albert... the comment was not directed at you but that rather insipid reply to your post by Mr. Binns .
pardon my ignorance but what's that thing behind him?
Good question.

Love the ties! I would try to get some of them but I'm 6'3" and over 275 lbs. I need longer than normal ties. :-(
Please don't take this as me being mean and I'm not a doctor, but 275 lbs seems a bit high even for 6'3". Maybe losing some weight is the answer if you really want one of the ties.
@@user-qj1bt1uv2n Or maybe the ties can be longer. I also need long shirts. But thanks for the non-advice....
Wow....we're in so much trouble in the near future!
2:55 Nice.
Kinda disappointed there was no mention of the Tulsa Massacre & the Battle of Blair Mountain

2:53 to 2:57
I have no idea why, but too me, that is quite funny.
Also, Roosevelt's comeback mentioned at 3:31 to 3:34 reminds me of a possible comeback for Andrew Yang and is mayoral run for New York City. Just connecting history to current events.
We getting anything about baseball or boxing soon? I know indy loves his baseball.
I really miss his old baseball channel. That's how I found indy, years ago.
Love the title. Some truth to that. :) And I want my stove back after you guys are done with it. Lol.
Nice tie :D
It looks like you keep notes off to the left side of your desk. I don't blame you, but is that how you were able to Ratatattat off all this information? You're only freaking brilliant.
I'm interested in the original TimeGhost concept. Like a antihero, dark humor Marty McFly evil genius. Sounds fun.....
Well, humanity had evolved, going to prison for blasphemy is much better than being burned alive or tortured by the Inquisition.

Great outro! What was in the glass?
best outro ever^^
nice tie!!!
Wait, so how was FDR standing during his Day of Infamy speech?
His legs were braced and if you look closely, he used the lectern to hold himself up. He was reputed to be quite a strong man when needed. Throughout his career, he always leaned on people and objects to hold him up. The press kept the fact that his legs didn't work to themselves.
1920: "we just want a little bit of pocket change to make sure our babies are healthy."
2020: 3/4 of government spending is on welfare and the country is rocketing towards insolvency.
Well, it was a very useful tool to prevent communist revolutions...
If you're referring to the US, it was actually 2/3 (67%) of total government spending for the fiscal year 2019.
That is, if you by 'welfare' mean financial support and health insurance for the elderly and the disabled, health insurance for poor children, and benefits for veterans.
@@TimeGhost Thanks for the heads up! Still, I'm baffeld you've called TB a "virus" in your other video ;-)

Isn't every age the modern times?
Technically, yes
@@jtgd there's no technically about it. At the time they were the modern times.
Depends on who you ask.
@@Dreagostini no it doesn't. Modern just means at that moment in time. Post-modern us an oxymoron.
@@neiloflongbeck5705 If you ask a historien, if the Rennaissance is "the modern times" - because the Rennaissance is an age - the answer will be no, because this age is gone by centuries. The 90s aren't the modern times anymore, too. And we don't know, if we some day stagnate or even regress, which won't be modern times, too.
So, it depends.
Are you in Europe? You are asking somebody in the last video whether or not he had "had White Castle when he was in the states?"
