Hey friends. Just a reminder that this is a very broad overview of a big topic. I could make a 12 part documentary series on just Saudi Arabia alone. But I hope this provides a broad understanding of how things have gone down in the region since the 30s. I encourage to go down the rabbit holes of parts of this that are interesting to you. There's so much more to learn about each of these events. Thanks for watching!
would watch a 12 part documentary!
Johnny can you make a video about Taiwan and China?
I just love that you start your post-Vox Borders by kicking open a can of worms! Keep it up
Do Central/South America next! This is awesome!
Love these videos man keep it up. Shame about borders but you kept it interesting so you’ll be fine
Haha thanks for the shoutout! Always glad my maps could help! :D
Wow
Awesome
That map was awesome
So you’re the man behind the detailed maps. Amazing work.
Wow, this is a crossover I never thought would happen but I'm glad it did
Middle East: The Americans are overthrowing our governments and making our region a playground!!
Latinamerica: First time?
Latin America is not a playground, is the back yard *cries and laughs in latino*
We stand with you guys Arabs❤Latinos we must stand together against the oppressive western imperialism
@Tessellation Good news is China has followed this advice 😬
@Tessellation I would rather live in a world of cooperation than one of domination and hierarchy.
underrated
More people need to educate themselves about the history of the Middle East, to build a clearer picture of how the British and Americans get involved in every major crisis.
You're talking like those nationalities are "different" or "other". Don't fall into the trap of thinking you would have or will behave differently when you find yourself in similar circumstances

Since the United Colonies of England (aka: THE UNITED STATES INC.) has set foot onto the Continental Americans it has been a war with the aboriginal and indigenous people every year.

Now, the de facto UNITED STATES INC goes around the world conquering nations in the name of democracy.
Yet, that word never appears in the constitution.

As a South African, I completely agree with you. And the aforementioned countries have never changed their mindset.
Johnny Harris needs his own Netflix Series honestly.
I'll honestly be surprised if he doesn't get one
He is a part of explained on Netflix
Start a petition! Let's show netflix how much support he has. Let's be honest, Netflix has funded much much worse in :P
urgh they cancelled hasan minhaj’s patriot act.....netflix really hates good socio-political shows

But now you're misinformed.
@@amariner5how?
Be careful not to pick sides - the problem is this type of oversimplification of issues and problems in these countries he skims over the internal conflicts and humanitarian problems with a lot of these nations and their leaders
@@samdmv7998 the very premise, that the US "stole" the Middle East" is false.
The US first came to the Middle East to recover hostages from North Africa, and end the threat of piracy, in the late 1700s.
The US doesn't care for, or want to be in, the Middle East. We have oil, we have assholes, so, what does the ME have to offer the US? Nothing.
And, the US doesn't own any part of the ME.
i wish these series stop
First thing first, the video was great, but I'm gonna correct you:
1. Women driving is not signfull in Islam, but was illegal in SA for some reason.
2. Marrying 12 women is Haram, and not allowed whether in religion or culture, so to say it is "a thing" is misleading, while marying 4 women is allowed (as long as you treat them equally and Allah in The Qur'an said you won't, so marry just one) it made complete sense long before at that time, when men used to die at war in large numbers and women were left alone with kids, or with no one to support her, it helped them.
Yeah but wahabis of Arabia still have more than 4 wives and the same can be said for women driving
@@mohammeduzair7796 It is illegal to have more than 4 wives in SA and sinful, so they don't have more than 4 wives idk where did u get that information from. It's like saying "but people still marry their siblings in Germany" It doesn't make sense. Women driving is allowed now in SA so I don't see your point
@@kittyjsiwjsb7609 but didn't bin laden's dad have more than 4 wives so was it allowed back in the day?
@@mohammeduzair7796 Just for the record, one person does not make the rule, having more than 4 wives is and was never allowed after Islam, maybe he has married an divorced more than one so u think he had more than 4. If he has more than 4, then he sined and went against the law
@@kittyjsiwjsb7609 so basically he did illegally

Wow, what a great video! Articulated and executed with perfection.
Dude I never gave a shit about any of this as I was a child when these events occurred. I'm now a 32 woman from the east coast and I can tell you 9/11 ptsd is a thing !!! I NEEDED THE TRUTH and you have given it to me ! Bravo!
The background of Osama Bin Laden is something that is not talked about at ALL in history. Excellent Job
Whats with that?
It was, back in the day, but people have short memory, or weren't really looking into such things.
No matter, what's the background and circumstances, the way his actions killed innocent people, including women and children, cannot be justified, no matter how much BS leftists and liberals spit out.
I wouldn’t say he justified it but more put it in perspective
@@aapkefather1872 at no point does he justify it just clarifies how the american governments decisions in the years leading up to 9/11 and the greed on our part assisted bin laden in both his accelerated radicalism and his financial growth

Thank you John.
Why does this sound exactly like how Europeans came to India for "trade"
Because it is that. The only key difference between colonialism & neo-imperialism is that in the latter case, the colonial/imperial nation doesn't take on the administrative duties in an official capacity.
@INERT imagine waking up and thinking "im going to write the dumbest comment I can think of and place it on youtube". Seriously dude take your moronic sentence and keep it on the shit hole of the internet = facebook.
@@audobone at first British only did trade and bases later they started administration
@INERT Lol yes, the country that was producing 40% of the world's GDP would still be shitting in the fields if it weren't for a backwards-arse, tiny colonial island to come in and run it into the ground. As for wiping their arses with their hands, they still do that because it's only natural. I heard all of the US got their panties in a bunch when the coronavirus hit because they ran out of toilet paper; how's that working out for ya?
@INERT I dont agree with you on the field parts as Indian but UK did better job in 200 years than Muslims for 600 years , UK preserved and "took" artifacts while Mughals destroyed it , UK preserved archeological sites and ancient temples while Mughals destroyed , UK preserved everything that was historically ancient while Mughals destroyed everything that isn't Islamic , also India despite being rich Mughals wasted the money on building stupid shit like Taj mahal AND THOUSNADS OF TOMBS AND MOSQUES AND STUPID MADARSAS , like fk off with tombs , Uk used the money to make railways to exploit , but railway is still railway
"Forbidden oil bromance" this guy's commentary is gold I love it
It's out of this world 😊
anyone have any proof it was osama bin ladens dad who built American infuscture in Saudi?
I have recently watched over 10 videos from your channel in the last 48 hours. Man, if this was my history teacher back in school, my present career may look a lot different than working in IT.

@@iamkat5e I live in California and my hs history teachers have mostly been unbiased and presented facts pretty well. Like how the US funded Al-Qaeda initially to fight the Soviets and how the US went to the Middle East for oil.

@Ab Cd Pretty extreme accusation. WW2 was probably the only war in history worth fighting and even then Wall Street Bankers and Big Businesses funded the Nazis even when they knew the holocaust was happening. The war could have ended in a month if France attacked first, they had a better and larger army which would've swamped the Wehrmacht. Every war since ww2 has been purely out of financial interest, the military industrial complex is practically welfare for the rich.
@Ab Cd "where are your evidences that the rich control wars?" - Nothing falls at free fall speed unless everything underneath is out of the way yet the official narratives are comfortable with it somehow when it comes to WTC7. That, in itself, speaks a lot over the level of control those in power have over public opinion. If you want to dig deeper then your turn now to provide evidence that there was barter before money, which is what all established economics books taught us at school. And if that's not enough then feel free to lookup "58 Admitted False Flag Attacks globalresearch" and try to debunk any of the sources there. Good luck because you'll need it!
@Ab Cd LOOL, to begin with, did you actually give a like your own lastest reply???
@Ab Cd Hahaha...you've been so judgemental in your reply that I was wondering the same about you actually. Age ain't nothing but a number dude. You trying to define someone's capacity to be close to the truth is not limited by age. You're already making yourself prey to logical fallacies this way. Also, I have nothing against the rich and I consider myself as rich. That kind of black or white thinking is typical of an immature mind and, again, I know many college guys who are way more mature than you in this respect.
Amazing documentary... Was very invested!
What an episode Johnny, really one of the best UA-cam channels I've ever found, fabulous!!
At the end, the Arab culture and Islam will be blamed for the political instability of the region.
The same things happen here long time ago during European colonization in Southeast Asian Archipelago. They left us with borders that seperate our family and our people. Until now, me as a Malaysian need to cross the border just to meet our relatives in Sumatera and Riau Archipelago. If the Johore-Riau-Lingga Sultanate and all the Sultanate in Sumatra still exist, surely it will be wonderful.
The craziest border is the one with Singapore. But then again, Malaysian politicians forced them to make their own country 🤨
I mean if they exist other kingdoms in Indonesia might exist too (as you know there's tons of them) and it'll be much harder for me, and indonesian, just to go from central java to west java. But indonesia and malaysia's relationship is great, and even tho we have to cross the border, atleast we don't have to pay for visa, etc. Moreover, if kingdoms still exist, I don't think the political state is stable as there's so many kingdoms :)
@@febbykamila1301 i dont thinks so, if u looked at the formation of Malaya, it is a federation that consist with 9 Malay Sultanate that agreed to united together. If you watch carefully to the culture of Nusantara people, we can see that there are a great tolerance with each other, like how one of the royal court member of Lingga married with the Terengganu Sultan in order to strengthen the state's relationship and its people. I believed if even all the kingdom of the Nusantara is not united, an organization like EU but with better understanding will be exist too. Too bad, because of the European influence to the culture, identity and way of lives between the countries of the Southeast Asia, we still feels the difference until today. Hopefully ASEAN will bring back our unity.
@Zahin Shahazad Agreed, if Singapore still under the rules of Johore-Riau-Lingga Sultanate, it would not be a problem at all.
@@muhammadnaim8203 Well that's the case of Malaysia. Sultanate are all muslims, if I'm correct ? Kingdoms in Indonesia have great tolerance ofc, but it's hard to keep one not offended. What cause them to have tolerance is ironically the dutch that colonized indonesia for 3 centuries. I think it's different with EU, because they mostly have one goal, i don't know much about them. But one of the reason why the Dutch CAN colonized Indonesia is because some kingdoms are fine with the monopoly that the Dutch did (because of money, ofc). For example, the Solo sultanate is dismantled because they helped the dutch, unlike the Yogya who helped the Indonesian govt during the hard times. European invasion is somewhat a plus and ofc the minus are much worse, but that's one of the key factor of why we tolerate and unite at the first place. Till this day, conflicts in Indonesia are still happening, especially toward Papuans. Those "conflicts" are trying to seperate us like the Papuan freedom. In fact, Timor Leste actually regrets they break out of Indonesia because : they get used by foreigners like Australia. I think it's better to stay like this, because if you think Indonesia have massive tolerance, no it's not. I heard Malaysia are actually more conservative than Indonesians, idk. Younger generations like me are (mostly) not racist because we grew up in multicultural enviroments, rather than the older generations. I appreciate ur commentst tho, I hope ASEAN will reunite SEA countries and protect us from the greedy china who's taking our sea ^^
What a masterpiece of a video. Bravo 👏
Holy shit how did you come up here.😍😍
The best storytellers meet!

Amar?
Do you like my country Saudi Arabia?
Amazing video. Explains it all clearly
Crazy how relevant this video is today. Superb work!!
Why can't history classes be taught like Johnny Harris videos. These are so beautiful and rather than confusing it's so interesting. Leaves me wanting more every time.
Because it takes time to make video like this
Plus this is more objective history will be altered depending on who wrote the book and for which country
You mean besides the fact that it is heavily biased?
Because it's only scratch on the surface and videos like these are spoon feeding (people with less deductive ability and IQ can also learn) and very good introduction. In school you learn everything in super detailed way, to make your own deductions on all the different sources which requires hardworking and decent IQ
History classes shouldn't be taught like Johnny Harris videos. The guy knows his stuff on Saudi Arabia but he completely misrepresented the situations in Israel and Iran.
As a middel eastern i thank you for shedding some light on this problem

Ayyy
Nicely put together Sir!
weird that we always learn about terroir and 9/11 but never the motivation and reasoning behind osama bin laden. Not saying his reasons is justified but it gives more to think about to a person.
honestly, the United States is attacked by men who are willing to end their own lives to kill thousands of people and never stops to ask why. It’s easier to just dismiss them as “monsters,” when, while their actions were monstrous, they were just men, and by ignoring this fact the United States allows itself to keep committing the actions that drove those men to do those things in the first place, insuring that new men will continue to come to take their place.
Yeah the impression most people around us have is that Osama was this crazy dude motivated by the Quran and who just went bananas at some point.
@@scorps4471 he was indeed a crazy guy, but the thing people always gets wrong is that he was motivated by religion or the Quran like BRUH! you haven't even read the Quran to judge it...SMH
@@akorn9943 dont mind me asking but what else do u think will happen when you destroy more than 11 countrys, Terrorism started as creation of an army that will defeat the US and Israel and france, and more hate EVEN grew when the US started "destroying" countrys just to stay as a super power, Kids would grow with hate in their hearts, and when u ask them why? they will say I lost someone, again i cant justify their actions even my country (im half Egyptian) is losing hundreds of soldiers in the fight of terrorism
We cant blame power but the philosophy of every country pushing America just like in life u influence me to marry models only like trump then also the person influencing me is guilty the usa Soviet union and Britain has always been big influencers but now adays they are quite a bit because they are afraid of Korea and china they were being noisy again with trump like George Bush in thier era but they learned big time with North Korea about thier new way of Trade war initiated by thier communist leaders but they never stop
When you can learn more from a UA-cam channel then my entire highschool history class
Facts! After everything that has been fed to me, I can’t believe how far from the truth it is.
You never must’ve paid attention in school then
History class was very boring and always lul me to sleep.....so, I just memorized the key points from revision book a few days before the final exam and once the exam ended, i forgot everything immediately cuz i dont really find the knowledge to be any beneficial to me since i'm was going into science anyways..in class, it was extremely sleepy too during history lesson, so i pretty much dont learn anything...i dont even finish reading the textbook, instead, i just used the revision book with simplified notes.
Luckily i had to learn about history only on 1 class for my entire study during my university life.....so, it's kinda surprising how this video actually made me sit and listen with interest
You never must’ve paid attention in school then

Awesome this is so awesome, i love your story telling style it's very entertaining
This is a brilliant video and I really appreciate the plug :)
+ 1 this guys channel is great.
Is this a crossover episode??
lol was not expecting nathaniel here
@@Vced they should really do a crossover video actually
I believe that UK is the biggest mischief maker on the planet right behind their warmongering daddy America. I hope these 2 countries plummet and never recover.
If they taught history class like this we would all be woke.
I agree, but for others, not for me.
@@razorultra9202 Honestly you're pretty right. We civilians just wanna live our lives being useful for society and ourselves, and we see this confusing political and military shit happening while we are within the blankets of comfort. We can't do shit anymore.
Yay technology😎🥰

Love your videos! I look for your content when I need further informational videos to reinforce the Social Studies curriculum here in Canada!
Watching these videos today takes them to another level
I'm from Lebanon and I would like to say that since my birth, I have never witnessed peace in my region(middle east). It's exhaustive and frustrating because it erases stability and siezes, if not reversing, development at all levels. Thank you Johnny for initiating this documentary. Your videos are interesting. Keep going 👍
I felt bad for the ppls leaving in middle east... Always haunted by wars and violence started by other big powers... There is no conflicts in middle east that doesn't originated from the battle between soviets and americans...
@GazB Saudi arabia vs Iran is a totally funded war by USA and Russia.. Yes the British are the ones who started this whole Israel thing but that's until the US became the big brother of israel and made of it a powerful country. (About the kurd's situation, I don't have much knowledge about it)
@@poke5443 Israel was created by UN partition actually. Also, Israel was powerful before the US support (see the 6 day war). We have the highest incomes, are the most educated, have the most Nobel Prizes per capita and have disproportionately benefitted humanity in the fields of theory and technology. It isnt hard to see that we can be successful without help lol
Hahaha
@@ayylmao2190 Another hilarious jokes from a lapdog
To think that America had just given everyone only 1 side of the story with the whole terrorism and Middle East thing is just insane. Thank you for the multiple perspectives!!
lol right? "Osama bin Laden, terrorist and dude the US had been supporting with $2 billion in guns and money."
He didn’t mention one tiny detail. That Osama was in fact a CIA agent. If you don’t believe me.. Look it up.
And the US was not just loving Osamas fight with the Sovjets. They where funding them as freedom fighters.
You guys u must know that we in the Middle East love enjoying life like you. Killing is not our thing but that Chaos which made by US an EU made us looking for alternative to find our value. And many people enjoyed ISIS because they were looking for something that can make them alive. To grow up in the Middle East is like to start. A game in the Last level.
As always
Excellent reporting
Good presentation...
go on plz...and thanks for sharing information...
i feel so dumb after watching this video. I wish I was taught these things in school :/ but this is America.....
I am an American and I did learn this and more in school. But I like to read books.
yes you were brainwashed by US gevornment
Yeah I learned all this (with even more detail and nuance) in high school as an American.
If anything describes American education it is “Various Outcomes” the US education system has some of the highest highs and lowest lows
@@ujko8878 brianwashed!!!!!! big brainwash woahahah
If you are going to live in the USA It wouldn't kill you people to learn how to speak English and drive properly smh
As a middle eastern, I am so excited to watch this 😃 keep it up Jonny 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Update:
This was the best 21 minutes I've seen so far.
It's legendary. As a middle eastern who was born in Kuwait and lived the 1990 Iraqi invasion, I can say this was very well presented. Can't wait to see the coming videos 😊 keep up the borders movement 👍🏼
Fadi Younes اهلين
There is a Chanel, it is also very good on that term, Brain4breakfast, he is sadly dead so only old videos, ut there is also Kraut, he is also very good, but he is very very critical of Islam, but also very professional, give them a try
انتتت ههنااا *-*

Calling yourself middle eastern is no unlike 'West Asian'.
brilliant story telling !
Very entertaining good source
The reason why Johnny Harris was kicked out of Vox:
He was learning so much about the world, his mindset was changing to fit the more realistic situation of the world.
Vox didn’t like that because it didn’t fit their politics.
Go Johnny Go
Just watching his videos, didn’t know he was on Vox. Thankfully he’s independent because there is no independent thought working for big media corporations, it simply isn’t allowed to exist and I’ve experienced the proof
Can't wait for the next part, man! By any chance, would you consider covering America's "benevolent assimilation" of the Philippines in the future?
I thought it was a Latin country like Spain who had more and early influence over the Philippines.
@@marine1732 hispanic, Latin countries don't have power over anyone, European powers do
@@yusefdanielhassounharmouch1520 I believe the comment was referencing assimilation. If that is so then I think generally speaking this has some impact. "The Philippine Islands are named after King Philip. Spaniards are referred to by Filipinos as "Kastila" (Castilian) named after the former Kingdom of Castile, now a region of Spain. The majority of the Filipinos of Spanish descent are of Spaniards and Mexican origin, while a minority are Latin American descents." I do understand that Benevolent Assimilation is talking more about the Philippine-American War though.
yeah, that part of the history when the America played and backstabbed the Philippines; and surprisingly made a deal to the Spaniards.

I found one of your videos last night and am now in a hard binge thank you
This was a great presentation ✊🏾
Learned more in 20 mins than I did my whole life.
Well that’s pretty bad because this video is vastly oversimplified not to sound like a dick
Open a wikipedia, just one article can give you more and diverse information than this video do.
Joe Bowden pretty sure he explains that several times
GazB I do
Katsuhirou 😂 yeah but without the visuals
The fact you refer to America as the Great Satan every time 😂😂
Well not to saudi
@@piercehawke8021 it seems like u r a "chosen people"
@@piercehawke8021 lol every problem from entire world because of british
@@proximamidnight3820 There would have been other problems without the British
@@piercehawke8021 they also muslim in allies side too and even have a more number compare from nazi side
So what,s your argument ,you just blame islam for everything bitch
Rape issue in your christian countries by your christian people so blame islam .WTF
Excellent overview from a well balanced perspective.
Amazing content. Making history so interesting 🦾
This channel is Netflix level binge-worthy
One of the most neutral explaination of this topic, didn't blame religion, didn't blame culture, gave a factual story. Love it 😘
Let's see how "neutral" he's gonna stay once he starts going into Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan and Sudan.
@@bluepearl_22 It's actually pretty easy to avoid those things if you really put a lot of work into it. This channel is a legend
@yumpladukfoo where can I look into this?
@yumpladukfoo yes man, where can we read it. Im interested too
@@ScottDavis-be7nt one dark aspect is the control over Afghani opium for heroin making and distribution in the USA, forcing its citizens to become addicts and criminals so the States prison and police industry can benefit off it... it’s all about industrial lobbyists making money in circles ...
Love your videos . Very accurate n entertaining 👍🏽
This video is excellent. Thank you Johnny
This is so well done!! I wish these videos existed back when I was in school. Keep up the amazing work Johnny!

@@icekoldcilla8470 Like the rest of world nope hope it finds it's way
WE NEED A UPDATE ON THE CURRENT MIDDLE EAST SITUATION PLEASE
Pray for Afghanistan.
The true afghan warriors warded off the American Dictatorship that the US put into Afghanistan. And finally it’s the true afghans leading the country. Now americans are using propaganda to win the war.
@@elzika739 why the Afghan citizens not wanting taliban ruling tho?
@@det3135 they do. If you’re talking about the plane situation, everyone wants to go to the USA and it’s a war going on it’s not because they’re scared of Taliban. They protect people protesting against them, freed people, even people who didn’t want them and fought against them for america they pardoned and forgave. This is propaganda you see, give me any evidence of the fact that the Afghans don’t want TB.
The current situation is that the Afghan army of 300,000 wouldn’t fight 75,000 Taliban. Therefore, they’ve lost their country again
Fantastic bro. Really good job.
Very concise timeline video u r amazing!!!!
WOW this was good. Would watch a 2h video about this from you. Fascinating and extremely well told!

@@icekoldcilla8470 why? More civilians would die. It’s more like they need a new government.
@@icekoldcilla8470 Love you, too! ❤️ 🥰 ❤️ 😘
@@Jean_Jacques148 not a new government
They need to be educated properly
Democrats and Republicans just brainwashed them and destroys the world
Civilians have no fault
But they need to educate themselves.
This proves that it’s nothing to do with religion and everything to do with, money, power, oil and territory.
that's right. in fact, if one looks at the lifestyle of the gulf royal families, it's clear that they are far detached from their own religious teachings
80386 correct
That's not entirely accurate since Osama clearly was motivated by idealism and not material gain.
Actually Osama worked for Islam and Iran and other countries are built on their religon
Doriiaan yea but osama and all that shit would never reacted like that had the americans keep their balls to themselves
Super informative
video tip: U should put up year stamp on top left or something of the video. ur video was insanely fun to watch and if there were years of the events occurred it would be informative
