YES, we absolutely want part 2!
Yes!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I agree .
indeed
He didn't make it yet :(
I’m a Chinese student in Montreal, and I can positively say that Zhou actually is more respected by Chinese people than Mao, for the reasons you mentioned in the video.
Do mainland chinese respect Dr. Sun yat sen?
Montreal gang
@@jamesstuart3536 Sun Yat-sen is respected widely in the Mainland as well as in Tw. His Mausoleum is an absolute must see if you go to Nanjing, and one of I believe only two places in the PRC where you can see the Nationalist/Republican flag. In his mausoleum it forms a large mosaic in the ceiling. (The other place is the old Presidential palace/National Diet- also in Nanjing, the flag is flown above it.)
In mandarin his name is pronounced Sun Zhongshan. In most Chinese cities you will find at least one large street named Zhongshanlu, or Zhongshan st.
@@jamesstuart3536 sun yat Sen is completely respected, he was the man who led to the modern Chinese state (made qing empire fall, leading to the communist state we know today) and even before that, he was loved by the people of china
As a history educator, I would certainly buy a set. Perhaps a digital version and a print version.
Are you a herrin educator by Chance?
@@bradmurray1736 No, and what?
@@MrPhillipsOGHS oh we have a mister Philips and our mascot is a tiger. Just checking
I'd buy a set.
Something about Hirohito. The emperor wasn't just a figurehead back in the 1930s; Hirohito essentially just chose to be one. He could've wielded significant power in the government, but he essentially chose not to. The reason he's considered to be implicit in Japan's wars is because while he didn't order them, he didn't stop them. The Imperial Japanese Army was full of hotheads, but they were hotheads fiercely loyal to the emperor.
Even if that's true, the point remains that the emperor's constitutional role was actually reduced to a ceremonial figurehead as a matter of law, so he couldn't be anything more than a constitutional monarch at that point even if he wanted to.
Please revive the flash card idea. Knowledge is something our kids can’t ever have enough of.
Oh yeah yeah
@@Abdisa-sj2fq especially you
I'm being serious about this: you should revamp these and sell sets! You'd put little facts on the back like "DA SILVA - First Prominent Socialist President of Brazil - Former Union Leader - Found to be involved in corruption scandal - Still popular politician."
As a student, I can see these being big with teachers and kids taking AP World History classes.
they would be great, but maybe should also include a small real photo of the person as well, though maybe that would not be possible
Just a quick addendum on Edward VIII. The main reason he wasn't allowed to marry Wallis Simpson was that in Britain, the monarch is also the head of the Church of England. And at the time, the Church was against divorce, so it was seen as an abdication of his monarchical duties.
Wait, really? But divorce is the entire reason the Anglican Church exists!
@@Joseph-li3df Sorry, remarriage if a spouse is still alive. I misremembered the exact specifics.
@@thomashart6166 Oh, okay. That makes more sense.
@@thomashart6166 Exactly. It wasn't a problem that Wallis Simpson had been married before/wasn't a virgin--if she had been a widow, there wouldn't have been a problem. But that she had two living ex-husbands was the problem.
I'm really impressed by your artistic skills!
Callie Masters God forbid you even have ears lol
Nasser wasn't really a Soviet ally, he was just good at playing both fronts. That's another reason why he was and still is so beloved by Egyptians and other Arabs: he put his people's interests over those of the US or the USSR.
guess it depends on who you mean by 'his people' - the Egyptians, at the expense of Syria and Jordan, who were wrangled into multiple turf wars that ended up costing them territory, all because they were goaded by Egypt into participating in some pan-Arabist folly. He's not well regarded among the Levantine Arabs - especially the expats.
from 2002? haha but he said 17 years ag... JESUS 2002 WAS 17 YEARS AGO!!!!!!!
are you feeling old yet, Mr. Krabs?
@@MustraOrdo
Do you feel it Mr.Krabs?
@@stepanfedun9122 do you feel it, mr krabs?

Do you feel it, Mr.Krabs?
Are thou feeling it now, Mr Krabs?
Hi JJ, just wondering if you're planning on making any more episodes of your Every World Leader Series? I really enjoyed those episodes. Love your channel! ❤️
Those episodes took a very long time to make and weren't very popular. People said they were boring, and I agree. So I don't think I will make any more of them, alas.
@@JJMcCullough I actually found them really interesting and informative, but I understand your decision not to continue the series if other people didn't have the same opinion. Keep up with the great videos!
@@s.tagerius2514 In theory, it's interesting to learn about the leaders of every country. But in practice, this means spending a lot of time describing boring leaders in Africa and Europe who really haven't done much or had very interesting lives or careers.
@@JJMcCullough Big sad. I liked that series and you were just getting to my countrys letter too :(
Mlg Sty what country is that?
Cho En Lai is still very much regarded in the same way as how J.J. described the Western society regarded him in China. After his death, thousands gathered at Tiananmen Square to pay respects and protest against the Mao-style regime. This event would contribute to the toppling of Mao’s legacy, and foreshadowed the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.
Source: I’m Chinese
Kevin Dou that’s interesting!
Do mainland chinese still respects Dr. Sun yat sen?
@@jamesstuart3536 A lot of places are named after him. IN Guangzhou university is named after him, metro stations. Roads across the country are commonly named after him and in Guangzhou they go from 1 to at least 6 of his roads
@@jamesstuart3536 Furthermore, Dr. Sun's portrait is routinely displayed on national day on 10/1 and workers' day on 5/1 on Tiananmen square, opposite facing Mao's portrait on the Tiananmen gate. I believe the message is to portray the PRC government as the legitimate heir of modern Chinese revolution. Mao and Chiang regarded themselves to be pupils of Sun Yat sen and having Mao's portrait face Sun on the square on major holidays almost seems he's 'reporting' to the master, as if saying, 'today's China is as you envisioned'. Of course, whether or not this respect is genuine or just an ostensible message is up to anyone to debate or support.
isn't youtube banned in china
I definitely want part two!
I watched this with my daughter (you may remember her, she was inspired to draw the last ten presidents after your video and I emailed you the results) and she was excited to see this. While she’s not a history geek like me, she said the cartoons really helped her learn who the people are (she’s in grade 11, so no doubt they’re learning some of these names in school), moreso that a photograph would.
So both of us want part 2 (and more JJ cartoons!)
"Mao could sometimes go off the handle a bit" if thats what you call causing the worst famine in human history.
Fun fact: My grandparents worked in Moscow from 1978 until 1981 for the Australian Embassy to the Soviet Union. They would talk about how sad life was there, especially coming from people who came from Australia like my family. My Grandpa is a photographer, even back then, and I have some photos he had taken in my house today and there's one in particular that catches my eye. It's at Red Square and the streets are filled with people wearing thick, ruined clothes with not a single car on the street they're walking next to. Back in the Brezhnev era Russian life was just so poor and peoples lives were miserable. Makes you realize how grateful we are to be living in countries like Canada, or Australia.
Anyway, a great video JJ and you should really keep going with this!
My grandparents (they weren't foreign diplomats from the Wrst, they were local soviet workers and teachers from Belarus and Siberia) remember Breznev period such as a good time. There was social state: all people could get free apartments, healthcare, education. All people could find job without problem. Russian people apreaciate it. Of course, problems existed, Soviet Union wasn't a paradise. For example, you said about single cars. Yes, Soviet Government didn't want to see the situatuon like in the USA, where everybody has got cars. Instead, Soviet Government built many bus, trolleybus, tramway, railway systems. This systems were more comfortable and ecological. Russian cities didn't know problem with traffic, like now.
Since the US President drawings I've been impressed by your art work. I would absolutely buy a set if you sell them as merch.
Anyone else doing a video showing off their drawings from high school would be terrible, but you somehow made this very interesting and fun. Anyway, my impression, from my dad who was alive at the time and from old movies etc., was that the real Japanese bogeyman was Tojo, at least for Americans. Japanese history kind of alternates between periods with strong emperors and periods with figurehead emperors where the real power rested with others. The Allies certainly pushed the figurehead idea after the war, and perhaps Hirohito really was one. On the other hand I think it's possible that he wasn't prosecuted because that would risk starting a guerrilla resistance to Allied Occupation.
its Leonid, not Leonoid. Like Leo-need
Avoid the Noid!
These flash card merch are a good idea
My favorite part about Hirohito is that he just kinda gave up trying to control the Japanese high command, and once they completely stopped listening to him, he just went and studied marine biology. Plus when High command voted on surrender, Hirohito was the one who broke the tie, and a section of the military immediately tried to overthrow him
Those are really cool! Are there any more? I’d love to see more if you’re willing to, maybe of Tito, DeValera, Adenauer, Gadaffi, Saddam would be cool. Nice job!
Watching this 3 years later just after Lula da Silva won the election against Bolsonaro, I am fascinated that he already was a big guy 20 years ago.
I am just waiting till Filipinos debate about Marcos and Aquino in the comments
Honestly i'd pick thr guy who was shot over an asshole that jailed 5 of my family members without reason.
@@dalsosegno Unfortunately many of them are brainwashed.
@@johndotto2773 disgusting how much people still support marcos, the dictator dickbag
Lots of Ilocanos live here, and older people supported him. Younger people were indifferent. He bought a mansion in Makiki heights, and was hard to ignore in the late '80s. I moved here in 1990 when the huge debate was the disposition of his body. The Phillippines was the 1898 version of nation building by the U.S., as our hearts were not in pith helmet style colonialism. "Making the world safe for Democracy" became our thing in the Wilson administration and we told Filipinos "We're not here forever" in 1917 and began to prepare our departure in 1931.
No, man, the design on these looks solid. Elegant, simple. I think they're very good, and the people there are clearly recognisable. I'd buy a set as well for my classes.
So funny story , seeing that my Gran is very involved in the Anglican church , she as become friends with Desmond Tutu
Nasser was not aligned with Soviets. He is one of 5 leaders who created Non-Aligned movement
Awesome video! I started watching you because of your cartoons and continue watching you because of my interest in different countries, so this is perfect for me.
So yeah, I definitely want episode 2. I'd also like another episode of your A-Z world leader series!
you can make a card game with those portraits something of "guess who" of Politics
Just came across this video after 2 years and love the concept. I hope you make more soon. Your encyclopedic knowledge of history is amazing. Keep it up, JJ.
Hey JJ, I really love your videos and you're really good at art, so I think it'd be a cool idea if you could make some drawing tutorials or something like that. I know you're probably busy but I feel like it'd be something a lot of people would be interested in.
>Western Sahara
>To the west of Morocco
*IT IS SOUTH... also West of Morocco is ocean, Unless you mean slightly west tilted south*
I think its a great idea to sell cards like that as merch, I would definitely buy one
I would love to buy cards like this. It's very impressive that you knew who these people were and could draw and design cards like this in high school!
I'll definitely buy these flash cards if you sell
You could actually sell these, the quality is stellar!
i would purchase them yes. i would love to use them to teach my baby cousin about these world leaders. great for education
I just scream names and he repeats, then I show a picture of said person, and if they look scary it automatically a bad guy
JJ loved this video nice to see more unknown leaders
*I've heard whispers that Skillshare is being unfaithful.*
Your channel is so entertaining, keep it up dude.
Theres a lot of possibilities with this idea, you can sell these cards in decks/sets (like American Presidents, Canadian Prime Ministers, British Kings, etc.) Or you can even set up an order system for a specific political characature (for an added fee). I like your channel and the educational nature of it and would love to see it grow, based on the general consensus in the comments I think this would be a great way to do that. Keep up the good work!
loving the back catalogue of this channel
I would love something like this. Just flash cards with caricatures and basic (as neutral as possible) facts about each leader. Would really help with putting various times and events into perspective.
noideac I was struggling with the idea of what to put on the back but that’s a great idea.
They look really nice! Thanks for the upload :D
Fantastic video as usuall
I think your art was really well done and not lame at all (but maybe that's because I can't draw worth a lick). I was able to identify 6.5 out of the 15 (I'm giving myself half credit for Suharto, because I confused him with his predecessor Sukarno, but hey, at least I got the country right.) Should've really gotten Edward. I knew he was British, but couldn't place it before you revealed it). And oh, yes! Definitely want part 2!
Love all your videos jj!!!
Looking forward to part 2!
I feel suprise when you know some sort of thing about Suharto. He was military dictator who rule in long periods. And his legacy and his supporters still playing important rules in Indonesia. And some Indonesians really hate him for abusing power and corruption.
Is his family still involved in politics?
Yeah,they always try to involve in Indonesian politic. Now,Suharto's ex son in law become president candidate in president election in Indonesia 2019. His name is Prabowo Subianto. Ex military general, success businessman and now become politician. Some Suharto's son and daughter make a politic party who will make Indonesia like in Suharto's era. It's so awful.
I love the caricatures! You really captured the most striking features of their faces
These are AWESOME!
You drew those? Holy, you're a terrific artist. I also am impressed how you remember all these leaders. You have a great knowledge of world history and politics.
I was thinking the other day, you'd make an amazing high school teacher
I like how you draw your vids getting better Much love from Illinois
One day I hope to be mature enough not to laugh violently at the phrase "bouncing around on the old ball"
You are so talented and modest, JJ!!!!
LOVE YA MAN KEEP UP THE A WESOME WORK AY!
I really like JJ, good sense of humour
I’d like to see a second part. I certainly learned a lot from this.
Woah your drawings are so cool!
This video is 3 years old, but I would buy any sets of cards you want to make! I'd particularly like a late Cold War/1980s-1990s set, with Reagan, Thatcher, Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Mitterrand, Helmut Kohl, Vaclav Havel, Jaruzelski, Walesa, GHW Bush, John Major, John Paul II, etc.
The Soviets actually had a very good quality of living
Tell that to their soldiers
Your graphic design is great!
There's something about JJ McCullough when he suggests jumping into skillshare with JJ McCullough that makes jumping into skillshare with JJ McCullough seem a particularly fine thing to do.
I was a litteral featus when you made these.
Now I can get married.
dude. way way awesome. would totally buy those
Egypt wasn't allied with the Soviets during the Cold War. In fact, they were one of the founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement.
syrialak101 That political compass though.
India,Ghana,Egypt,Yugoslavia and Indonesia are the founding members of Non Aligned Movement.
Love these drawing videos! Have you thought about opening an online store?? Also, watching your PM videos motivated me to buy *Fights of Our Lives* and *Dynasties and Interludes* so thank you for referencing them in your videos ~ the art style in *Fights of Our Lives* reminds me of the art style you use in your videos.
Wow, that's impressive! Are you Canadian?
@@JJMcCullough Nope, just a curious Texan who wanted to better understand parliamentary systems & how they work.
I'm not sure how obscure those leaders were back in their prime, but I couldn't tell who basically all of them were. The only one I got right was the emperor of Japan.
Did you know their names?
@@JJMcCullough I kind of remembered Hirohito's name.
These are awesome JJ... I love your cartoons about political! Keep it up!
finally you mentioned the Philippines :D
You should make this as coasters, think i saw them as a gift from one of your viewers but with local figures
jj my american middle school band is playing the canadian national anthem for our solo/ensamble night
Nice! Any other anthems too?
J.J. McCullough A fellow anthem fan too? (I run a website about anthems and was on Ed asked to check the anthems CD used at the Olympics for errors). Dude, you know what I’m going to request more videos on! (Yes I’ve seen you have some)
Just one thing, Hirohito began his reign in the 20s
Congratulations on your narrative thread leading to Skillshare. :) Made me laugh.
Yes! Please make a part two!
I don't know how much I learned but I had a good belly laugh at your cartoons !!
Amazing drawings and great concept. More more more
Hearing “Nicaragua” just really made me think back to that _American Dad_ song.
SovietOnion Ol’ Olli North!
_Ollie North! Ollie North! He’s a soldier! And a hero! And a novelist! And now he’s on Fox News…!_
Brezhnev era was not really seen as a bad time more like peaceful era (while other says "boring" era)
Oh JJ, you would of never guessed that Lula ends up making his way out of that prison, and becoming President of Brazil once again
Those flashcards look cool! Now i want one of them xD
Loved this video! I'd love for you to do a video about the Soviet Union. What is was really like? Life and stuff like that, but anyway! Great video J.J!
Arthur I would advise searching elsewhere for info on the Soviet Union. JJ (and most western pundits in general) have an extreme bias against it and therefore often are extremely reductionist about Soviet style democracy. Talk to older Russians, it’s not hard at all to find some who lived in the Soviet Union, and many pine for a return to its days. There are also many historical documents to be found about it, if you look outside of the US State Department line. Overall it was a worker’s democracy, which to westerners is a foreign concept that almost always is reduced in their minds as “undemocratic” when in fact the reverse is often true, and even more than liberal democracy in certain cases
@@dark_messiah8183 thank you, someone if finally speaking some sense in these comments. also jj saying that communism is so impractical and bad was just a big 🤡 moment
Put me down for a deck of those cards! With the educational text on the back, cause I only knew like, two of the guys you showed...😳
JJ BETTER ADD THESE CARDS TO HIS MERCH STORE
You should absolutely make a new series of these flashcards and sell them so kids can learn less famous world leaders!! Also can you please do a video on Iran Contra?
JJ I think your cartoons are so good!!! You have to watch this vid to see!
Great video once again
I’m not one for making comments but Western Sahara really is an interesting topic, it highlights a large amount of the issues caused by the colonisers of Africa and their “divide and rule” style politics followed by struggle and Morocco’s not so fair treatment (I’d strongly recommend the book “This Blinding Absence of Light” by Taher Ben Jelloun) I think it’s definitely a current event that deserves a lot more coverage on UA-cam. I’m only mentioning after you brought up Hassan II. (A very accurate depiction I might add loved the video)
Living in a future where Lula de Silva is president of Brazil.
I hope a part 2 is coming.
It’s nice to see Nicaragua get some recognition,( even if it is because of the dictator), since my my country is usually forgotten or ignored
Dictator? He never mentioned Somoza in the video
I would buy the cards. Please make sure to ensure they are thick.
Please do a follow up. This was very entertaining.
16:00 that transition was smoother than the cream cheese I spread on my bagel

Hey JJ for a good portrait of Chou En-Lai's character read Nixon in China by Margaret McMillan
My High school civics and career class did assignment on your website “The Canada guide”
Really? What was it like?
J.J. McCullough it was about the political party’s of Canada and how the Canadian party system works. We had to gather information from your website then put that information into a worksheet and then write three paragraphs about Canadian political parties
It's ya boi Quersey, what's up J.J! Also just from the intro I already love the video.
Sadly I'm of the opposite opinion :/
@@tenns It's okay mate
