I literally sing these jingles randomly all the time. 😂 I really wish this existed when I was in school, cause this really helps put history in perspective and makes it more interesting.
Same bro same 😂
imagine starting school and having this secret weapon at home you can watch AT WILL
Sometimes I'll randomly say "heyyyy, said the Romans".
"They both get angriiiier" is my nr1 from this video xD
"Turkey Turkey makes a brand new Turkey!"
There's also a history of Japan from this same creator with the same type of style and tone. Highly recommended.
Very highly seconded 👏
Yes! It’s a lot easier to digest cause it focuses on one country instead of the whole world. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll still need Tylenol after. 😂 But it’s so well done and hilarious.
Very highly third-ed? lol
Japan has such a dramatic, epic history.
Plus he literally put an intermission in this one for that one.
I've seen this shown in classrooms and it's amazing how many kids want to learn more because of it. They ask so many questions that the teacher told them to pick one art of the video and do a research paper about that topic. About 3-5 pages. I was shocked at how many kids found so much joy in learning and then teaching the topic they chose. This is especially good for those wth ADD, ADHD and OCD.
If you do know a lot about whats spoken about in the video, this becomes very comical. :)
It's even MORE comical if you do know more about the history of everything. . . considering how much of this so- called "information is just made up by those with leftist agendas ;^) I'd guesstimate that only about 40% may be factual, with the rest all being contrived.
FANTASTIC NEWS
I love watching reaction channels do this video. It's an overload of information. For the history buffs, it's a direct injection, right into the veins. The best part IMO is that the year is included onscreen, so you can easily pause it on any particular part that catches your curiosity, and you have a point to start researching on your own. I'm fascinated by the French Revolution, through the Napoleonic Wars. That alone is an insanely complex, multi-faceted subject (the revolution made Napoleon, you can't understand him without first understanding the Revolution). So much history that's taught in schools, is very western focussed too, yet places like China are VERY old, with a LOT more to them than most people think.
I'm so happy ya'll did this. One of the UA-cam masterworks. Always a pleasure to see. Excited to share it with you two. Here we go! :)
Asia back in history the hand to hand combat weapons were VERY extreme and effective.
Spears. Spears are the most effective weapon in human history.
@@Brooke-rw8rc Actually nukes are the most effective weapon in human history
@@glocktop916 If you add up all the people that got killed by spears over the past 20,000 years or so I bet it's a lot more than nukes have killed so far.
@@glocktop916 Talking about BEFORE nuclear weapons were invented gees
@@joshjames582 We are talking about the most "effective" weapon not what killed the most
As a side note, civilizations have been using forms of currency since mesopotamia, and they were certainly well established by the time the silk road came to be. (Now, the politics of which cities accepted currency from which empire, that is a much more complex story)
Great reaction to one of the best videos on UA-cam, the research and script writing of Bill's video alone is amazing.
I love how good a job this video does of showing just how many times land has changed hands over the centuries. Maps don't change that often compared to the length of a human life, so we don't think about it day to day, but over the course of thousands of years, the same land has had a dozen or more owners at different times.
Really puts stuff in perspective
Cheers
Hey, Colonel B!! Thanks for always contributing to the conversation and for showing us love and support! ❤️❤️
As someone who's massively into history and geography, this video is STILL the most legendary video I've seen because of two reasons.
1: How nearly all of earth's history was crammed into this 1 single video.
2: The amount of memes which came out of this video.
Btw very good pause at 15:55 because the guy here Mansa Musa the king of Mali was the richest person in history and also from the records, pretty humble as well. The guy was so rich that he literally and accidentally broke Egypt's economy through inflation by giving away so much gold to the needy as he travelling through the region. He later countered it by buying back all that gold (well not all of it but most of it). That's how much a Ultra-Chad he was.
Hey BJ, this one is for Asia,
She asked:
"So when this group had to take over that group, what was the fight like then?"
For real historical information You and Asia should check out these UA-cam videos/channels.
Invicta -
Their Videos on
The Siege of Jerusalem
and
The Seige of Masada
Are incredible.
Kings and Generals - Start with any of their videos. They have a ton of stuff chronologically.
Their series on the Kahn invasions is a personal favorite.
Fall of Civilizations:
A podcast with pictures added, really great historical perspective from actual accounts.
The Sky Forge: I didn't know if they'll do a video on this or not, but I've been looking to use the internet more for knowledge, practice, and wisdom. So, thank you for the information and cool starting points of your favorite. I appreciate it
@@LA_HA They say that every journey begins with single step. I'm just glad to be able to pass on what helped me!
So glad you guys finally found this!!! One of my favorite videos to watch people to react to. The infomercial feel makes it so fabulous and easy to follow even with the information coming at you so fast!!
This is one of the greatest videos on youtube. Dude took literally an entire year to make it working more than fulltime. Seriously, imagine editing alone. Then researching to even write the script... what a sick video man.
26:25 as a Turk here a little explanation on that topic.
After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey (Türkiye now) was occupied.
There was a "Turkish War of Independence" at 1920s with the Leader "Mustafa Kemal", after the war he changed the name to "Turkish republic" + the Arabic script was replaced by the Latin alphabet ect... many changes :)
Sry for my Bad english, im still learning :)
I'm the time of Columbus, people had worked out the world was a ball already. They just didn't know there was another land mass. Columbus knew that the far side of India there were a lot of islands, and a larger island called Japan, so when he found the Caribbean and Cuba, he assumed they they were the islands the other side of India and Japan.
Great reaction!! You guys are so right, certain pieces of information in this stick out as events that pique your curiosity and you want to dig into those events in so much more detail. You can watch this video 10 times and still not catch everything it's so compressed. Great idea's for history reactions, anything that holds your interest for real will make a good reaction video. This video is like a table of contents for everything lol. Really fun guys, thank you!
Almost every time I watch a reaction to it, I end up going on another search for something I don't know much about that caught my attention
Thanks Cali!!! ❤️❤️
*pique your curiosity
@@zammmerjammer Thanks!
16:45 That is Mansa Musa, speculated to be the richest person to ever live. He was the king of Mali.
He was so rich and good hearted that he gave away his money to the needy, which apparently broke the economies of the countries he visited, because he was giving out so much gold.
Once he saw what he was doing, he stopped giving out gold and started building universities (colleges). It is said that the university in Mali had the largest collection of books (scrolls) in the world. Also one of the Universities that he built is actually still standing till this day.
I remember learning that everyone and everything we know and see is literally made of star dust. It's almost magical.
You guys should seriously do The Fallen of WWII from Neil Halloran. It is something everyone needs to watch, especially nowadays with threats of escalating conflict all over the world.
It covers the deaths of WWII but in a statistical way. It is focused just on the numbers overall and not individual stories. Trust and believe, when you watch it, you will start telling other people about it.
The important takeaway from this video is
"NOOO!"
"Why?"
"THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER!"
😂 Thank god earth developed an atmosphere, or we'd be fish
History teacher here. It's much more interesting once you can understand the subtle jokes--both verbal and visual. It's a fairly well-done video.
@18:07 Fun fact: Europeans in Columbus’s time already knew because of astronomy and mathematics that the Earth was round. Columbus just miscalculated how large Earth actually is and assumed he would reach East Asia much faster. If the American continents didn’t exist, unless he and his crew miraculously ran into islands with food and fresh water, they never would have been heard from again!
This is history for ADD.
Great reaction! Love how holistic and connected everything is. By the way, when the Dutch anchored off of what is now New Zealand, the Maori warriors, met the Dutch and killed most of them. ( I'm going off of memory). So to Asia's point about venturing into the unknown. It must be pretty wild. Boba Fett is based on Maori culture when Lucas started the prequels.
"The History of Earth - How Our Planet Formed"
is the best documentary on youtube about the creation of earth . very fascinating , nice soundtrack music , great narrator , you even get chills at tie . i truly recommend it , if you haven't watched it already 🙂
Thank you so much for reacting to this! It's one of my favorites but it has too much information for me to absorb in one viewing. I gotta watch it again every few weeks or months to catch the parts I missed, wgich is why I love seeing my favorite reactors watching it!
The fact that cells even exist is crazy If you think about it in context of the lifespan of the universe. It really is magic.
It’s interesting that he talks about people moving around and conquering other people and lands, since the beginning of people, but he doesn’t start using words like “stolen” and “raped” until the Europeans or Americans are doing it.
This guy did a truly fantastic job on this video, he covers a ton of stuff in a comparatively short time and makes it entertaining the whole through. The only things that I'd add to it are that the Vikings raided everybody nearby and that Napolean didn't just try to conquer most of Europe, he actually did it! He messed up really badly at the end and lost it all though lol
Took Bill almost a year to make this video. The man is incredible.
fun fact: The word Salary is Greek for Salarium. People were paid in Spices. Salt. And other things. But it's crazy to know we still use that word for a fixed pay.
One of my favorite videos. This and Neil Halloran the fallen of ww2 are my two best educational videos and a must watch for anyone who wants to learn. This video should be taught in school bc you learn. And it inspires ppl to look up a subject that was touched on and learn more. More people should learn history.
So glad y’all did this one! It’s so dang good! Love y’all and your lovely family!
"btw, where the hell are we" is a great ending.
this video is so filled with information that after seeing it tens of times from other ppls reactions to it i still find new stuff everytime i watch it! :D
I wish there was some way to let reactors know that this video in particular it’s ok to pause and talk often. Great reaction ❤
If you want some really well made historical content, “Oversimplified” provides the most well structured videos on subjects from the Cold War to Napoleon and the World Wars and they’re absolutely hilarious and extremely informative as well! Love the history reactions!
finally another oversimplified fan-
So glad y'all watched this! It's pure gold!♥️
Brilliant video. I love these kinds of things. Glad you enjoyed it.
I wish someone actually made a book like this, non-biased, sassy humor, and straight to the point.
If you want to understand the world, you need to understand history
The 1 second in the end where he goes "By the way, where are we?" is the entire era of us thinking about our place in the vast universe and everything we've learned about space 🙂
How many "You could make a religion out of this" were there? 😂
I love how fast-paced it is to get through the entire history, "Alexander was great, Alexander the great, now: Alexander the dead"
Just to put in perspective:
If Earth was the size of a small seed (like a watermelon seed), Milky Way diameter would be the size of the disc formed by Earth´s orbit around the Sun.
If Earth was the size of a Red Blood Cell, Milky Way would have a diameter 4x larger than the actual Earth.
Milky Way is just a tiny dot in the universe... there are 2 trillion dots like Milky Way.
Milky Way relative to the Universe is like a bus compared to Earth size.
THIS IS AWESOME!! AS A HISTORY MAJOR IN COLLEGE, WHAT A GREAT WAY TO TELL THE TALE!!
As far as weapons go … the ancients had some sick sh*t. The Greeks had invented a type of flamethrower and pretty much every siege engine you’ve seen in a LOTR movie more or less existed in some form or other back in the day.
As an aside … it’s *always* about resources and land.
ALWAYS.
I use this video in my history class. My students seem to retain a lot of the information despite the rapid pace.
Hah. I can answer the France and Not France. When Francia (the Kingdom of the Franks) broke up, it became three pieces. East Francia, Lotharingia, and West Francia. East Francia became Germany (not France) and West Francia became France. Lotharingia was divided up between the two and is why Germany and France kept fighting over the land up until really WW2.
Oh, as far as weapons, they were being created LONG before the first cities. About 60,000 BC people started making stone tipped spears for hunting.
If only I had this video around when I was studying science & history in school, I would’ve passed with flying colours by a country mile instead of just scraping by like I did ☝️😎👍
Ive seen that video so many times that tons of jingle phrases are STUCK in my head
26:10 well "explaining" might be a stretch, ~200 million years of incredible variety of dinosaurs was 1sec flash of a picture "and the dinosaurs are gone", but yea stuff got mentioned 🙌
even though the video might seem like a lot already each word is hiding behind it thousands of books and research papers of history that also keeps changing as we keep learning. like @ 5:08 that 4M years ago might've been pushed to 12M years since they found an early bipedal ape ancestor skeleton from a clay pit in germany few years ago
When you said the Spanish probably said "I'm going back to the boat"? One of the things that doesn't get mentioned here is that, when Hernando Cortez reached the "New World", he burned all his ships so that his men couldn't simply go back to Spain. They were *committed* to conquering at that point.
I have loved this history of the world, I guess video since I first saw it quite a while ago. American education (up through high school) was very America-centric and Euro-centirc. Most of the history that took place farther east than Rome was barely touched on, at least when I was in school. Of course, I am an older fellow, so I am curious what any of the younger viewers think. Did you get much history about Africa, the middle east or Asia (aside from what they taught about Japan in WWII)? Truly I am interested in finding out what has changed in America's curriculum since I graduated high school back in 1980.
just to make sure, swords, spears, axes, horse-riding, arrows, and armor have been a thing for a few thousand years, funnily enough when she questions how did people fight, they paused the same century gunpowder revolutionized European conflicts, eventually evolving into hand guns in early 1500s
then of course you have the crazy advancements of the 19th century with the industrial revolution, culminating in World War I with grenades, airplanes, tanks, and such, eventually throughout WW2 and the Cold War culminating once again in modern militaries with missiles, jets, drones, nukes, and of course Toyotas
17:45 - Part of the reason Columbus had to ask Spain so many times to fund his expedition was that we'd known the circumference of the Earth for over two thousand years by 1492, and Columbus's estimate was only a third that. The king knew that he'd just get everyone killed in the middle of potentially nothing but water, and it was the queen that financed him in the end, out of her personal fortune. Personally I suspect that the king didn't try to stop her, if only to get Christopher to _just shut up and go away._
Hello Asia and BJ
I was watching your reaction watching We Are The World, and so many came together leaving thier egos outside if you ever have a chance to see how this all came together watch Behind the scenes We Are the World they all came from a long night from an award show tired etc. But they all knew how important to make this song was going to be. Also everyone there made a tribute to Harry Belafonte right after finishing We are the World it was all completely beautiful from beginning to end
"🎶Taste The Sun🎶"
"Turkey makes a brand new Turkey!"
It refers to Ataturk's reforms which changed Turkey from an Islamic monarchy to a Westernized nation. Ataturk removed a lot of the Islamic based laws, allowed women to be educated, and reformed the Turkish alphabet to one based on the Latin script. He basically rebuilt the country from the ground up.
The thing about the first Spaniards who came to the Americas that you have to understand is that they were tremendously arrogant. Spain was a very powerful country in Europe at the time, and to be an envoy from Spanish royalty basically allowed you to do whatever you wanted on new land, since you were claiming it for your country. This was especially true if the land was populated by 'uncivilised' people (anyone without Western cultural ideals) - they could just directly oppress that population and use them as work-force.
So basically, Columbus and his crew landed, met the natives, realised very quickly they weren't in India, noticed their weapons were vastly superior to the natives', and essentially decided they owned the place now. They cooperated with the native Americans until they were fully established, and then the conflicts began basically immediately afterwards.
Siddhartha was the person that became the first Buddha, his story takes place 1,500 years before the birth of Jesus, Siddhartha also had a miraculous conception an elephant spirit or what ever the story says got his mother pregnant she died shortly after his birth, he's actually a prince of a war tribe in India, the story really gets wierd next but the religion named after the title given to him by Hindus wasn't formed until 500 years after his death, so he didn't actually form Buddhism i have that picture he posted as a poster with the saying "let that shit go"
btw, most people understand old maps as nations/countries. but nationalism hasn't been around that long, circa 1800. people identified as tribes, villlage, cities or as a regional people. once a persian, greek or roman king conquered it, they were still that tribal people, but ruled by other more powerful armies. so greek cities still identified as thebans, athenians and spartans, even under roman rule. over time, these ruling kingdoms fell to more powerful armies or the allegiances just fell apart. nations are a relative new idea. for the most of humanity's time on the planet, it lived in small tribal communities.
I find German history incredibly fascinating because the Germans and Germany were always there, but at the same time not and always different like a shapeshifter.
Summarized -
Rejects Roman annexation - Teutons defeat Rome, are often slapped in the face, but Rome generally fails to subdue them
Create an empire that wasn't really an empire but somehow lived for 1000 years - Very special and unique
The Kingdom of Prussia gangsta before being defeated by one of history's greatest generals.
defeats the French, unite into a new Empire
Get a colonial empire
Fights the whole world two times
Gets divided again
Reunites again and is not allowed to be strong again.

Famous book "Guns Germs and Steel." All these early civilizations grew up in the earth's east/west temperate zone near navigable rivers with lots of types of domesticated animals (who had more chance of thriving in temperate zones). Seeds and animals could be "transfered" east to west and live - much more difficult for them to survive when transferred north or south out of the temperate zones.
Geography was everything. The Printing Press one of the most important inventions ever in 1450, was the result of 1000's of years of development because of a variety if domesticated animals and fertile, temperate land
LOL Asia and BJ, why are you so late in seeing this classic hilarious and very educational video that needs to be in every classroom? It's so entertaining haha. Yall a funny mess. So many UA-camrs have reacted to this last year. I'll be there for your Tuesday movie reaction.
I just happened upon your channel. I think it was a Bill Burr reaction. To be honest, it was Asia's beautiful smile and eyes that kept me watching because I've seen all of Bill Burr's material. Then I checked out your home page and wow, we think a lot alike. So you got a subscribe and I''m looking forward to hitting the rest of your reactions. I hope you do music too. I'll have some great suggestions for you. You are both great.
Thanks we appreciate your comment and sub!! We have 4 channels and 1 is indeed music
Apocalypto is a perfect history/horror film 😅
The concept of a country is fairly new, for over 2000 years it was realms. The realms are loosely defined regions where you pay for protection (tax) to a ruler.
Up until the American Civil War there were no defined front lines during most wars. Many came from pretty far away and spearheaded deep into enemy territory and learnt where to attack to make them panic and force a deal. Not very different from modern ish gang warfare.
Europe was for example in a constant power struggle until world war 2, and was attacked by the mongols, the huns etc. who were central/east asian in appearance.
Meanwhile, and always ignored, Australian Aboriginals: farming, making art, music, were expert at tracking, land management and conducted international trading, at least 50k years ago
I swear to God I learned more from this video than I did in 18 years of public education.
Trent Bobo: Is that true or just a fun exaggeration of how much you enjoy that video?
So glad you both enjoyed.
Two videos from the many that I could recommend are The British Crusade Against Slavery and the other What it takes to Win The Victoria Cross.
Be well.
By that point in time they had vows and crossbows as well as catapults and trebuchets
Columbus thought he could sail to India from Portugal by going west. Back then, nobody knew north and south america existed. When he landed in the Caribbean, he thought he was in India. This is why even to this day, native americans are incorrectly referred to as Indians sometimes.
Before money was invented, people bartered for goods and services. However, actual money in the form of the Shekel began to be used in Mesopotamia 5000 years ago.
One of the really cool things to think about from ancient times vs today that you were alluding to. There's no true "empires" now. Due to how information is spread and the world has a conscience of what is happening in other countries (UKRAINE) a country really can't go in and *take over* another country. Before internet and especially when the world seemed new and fresh to its inhabitants if they travelled outside their borders, you could "discover" a new people and take it over. The empires (also, countries are a fairly recent innovation, for a lot of this history it was more empires than countries) bordering each other might know, but if a portion of China took over a portion of Burma, there's no way anyone in Europe would know in their lifetime. That has changed since the invention of the telegraph, and obviously made stronger since the spread of Internet etc. Information travels rapidly, takeovers of area happens slowly, which is the opposite of most of recorded history, which is a very cool paradox.
Ana Popovic - Slow Dance. Absolutely great blues .
Those last few seconds hit hard
It was a joke, but yeah it started with hitting a rock , then a guy figured he could throw a rock, then some realized a sling make it go farther , then a guy realize he could hit the rocks with a stick , then the guy throwing rocks realized he coudl throew the sticks and thats the awl that becomes the spear that beceomse the bow and arrow, that becomes the gun .
I love this video, and I actually have the privilege of knowing that my mom's family came from Western Europe and my dad's family came from Mexico, likely the Aztecs who were genocided by the Spanish conquistadors. And I know that a lot people in my country don't get to know from where in Africa their ancestors came here from against their will. That's some of the reasons it's vital that we say Black Lives Matter.
The best and funniest part is when it said " no the sun is a deadly laser
I love it! Thanks for this great find.
There's also " History Of The World Part 1 " by Mel Brooks 😁😁😁
There are people that spend a lifetime piecing together history in an effort to answer one question...what is going on? Eustice Mullins is a good example. Some of his books are available on yt as audio books for free.
This video is like trying to get a drink from a fire hose. I encourage you to watch this several more times. When this first came out, I watched it over and over again until I stopped learning anything new.
That was actually pretty awesome!🤓
5:04 Blank stares at my favorite joke...
So, the old Europeans actually had a decent idea of the size of the world and they definitely knew it was round. Where things went wonky was that they didn't quite know how big Asia was. They'd used the travels of Marco Polo, but they vastly overestimated how fast he was travelling. It's why Asia is always so elongated on old maps. And based on those calculations, the eastern edge of Asia shouldn't be that far away, if you went the other way around.
Also, anyone laughing at the idea of stone and wood weapons has never been hit by an actual club (stick with a blunt stone at the end), a flint knife (stick with a pointy stone), flint tipped spear (long stick with a pointy stone at the end) or flint axe (ok, do I still need to explain this one?). There was no kevlar, armor was usually treated animal hides. You know, animals you had just killed using the exact same weapons. Slings as well as spear throwers were popular ranged options, bows took a little longer to get going.
The had serious weapons. The horse being an important one. Iron Age weapons were swirds, shields, armour, trebochets, etc Boots, in the Roman Army, boots made a big logistical difference.
This video reminds me of why the whole "stolen land" arguments are so silly. You'd have to go back practically pre-civilization to find land that wasn't stolen by somebody from somebody else.
Y'all over the place, love it 🤣
The pyramids got built with a lot of manpower and the focused dedication of an entire civilization over decades.
**THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER**
It's hard to imagine being an explorer in today's age but the humans in anicent times were straight up built different 🤣 I couldn't even imagine taking a ship and hoping to find land
Haha!!
The looks on your faces!! It is a lot to take in, though. But, it is very well done, highly informative and equally over the top, all at the same time.
Every bit of land was taken by someone or something sometime in history.
this was great reaction/viewing/listening of this good funny quick simple to the point video. Asia & BJ you GOTTA watch Mel Brook's "History of The World!" and "Stargate"!
This is precisely why i dont like when people despise Christopher columbus. He may have led to the deaths of alot of people. But to venture out into an endless ocean for such a long time not knowing if you'll find anything or even have the provisions to last you on your journey. And then to finally get there, trade with the native and make it back is just astounding to me. The courage you must have to do something like that is almost beyond my comprehension.
"The Dutch stole the spice trade" It was actually the Jews who were kicked out of Portugal, then settled in the Netherlands, who started their own "Dutch trading company". Its weird they were kicked out of over 100 countries throughout history, I dont get it 🤔
This is hilarious 😂😂
Imagine showing this to kids, you'd have constant questions, what a great way to teach, fire the imagination and have a natural inquisitiveness lead you to knowledge...
britain stopped the slave trade
True, but cotton doesn't grow in Canada. Once losing the 13 colonies/the USA, there was a lot less reason for it to exist within the British Empire.
it was constant wars for like 3 thousand years. Even with the minor wars we have this is still the most peaceful time the world has ever seen.
