Satirical late night show ZDF Magazin Royale with Jan Böhmerman, an episode about hand guns. The short story is this: it starts off with the (for Europeans) very well known narrative of the USA being too liberal with hand fire weapons; supposedly Germany is much better with gun control; but wait a minute... many of the weapons used by private people in the US are actually from one Austrian and three German weapon makers; there are differences in how they are marketing their brands in Germany and the US respectively. That is, the target of the show is the German weapon industry's dirty secrets. No English subtitles, sorry. @zdfmagazinroyale ? Your channel is cool, I find it really important that we can have this cross culture dialogue about things (and have fun at the same time :D ). Keep it up!
I am German and proud of what my people and my ancestors invented and made possible. I am German and I am ashamed of what my people and my ancestors did to the world in the Holocaust. But I live here and now since 50 years! I have not been able to influence either one or the other. I am German, I proudly but also humbly carry the history of my people. I didn't contribute anything to either one or the other. Like every person in this world, no matter what country they come from, no matter what skin color they have and no matter what religion they belong to, I can only do one thing: do my best to make the world a little bit better! One doesn't work without the other. Where there is light there is also shadow, nobody is without flaws. Unfortunately, when something went wrong in your past, many nations and religions forget it. At the time of the Second World War, Russia also had concentration camps and consciously and willingly persecuted, resettled and murdered minorities. Just like Italy at that time. Or Poland (where it is now a punishable offense to address such acts). The Christian church was the first to bring war and suffering to the countries later named the "Axis of Evil". They have repeatedly attacked Jerusalem to liberate the "holy city" even though they were allowed to build their churches by the Islamic rulers there. Inquisition, burning of witches and persecution in the Middle Ages in their name and today they only speak of "Dear God". The USA, which significantly promoted, fired and supported slavery in its early days, also with the blessing of the church. Extermination of entire native tribes by the Founding Fathers and their entourage in North America. Slaughtering wildlife to deprive these indigenous peoples of their food base and starving them, cutting off water resources to starve them. Squeeze into smaller and smaller reservations, if there was something to be gained in the former, negotiated area. Keeping slaves or letting them die until modern times. To date, Black, Coloured, Hispanic, Asian, and Indigenous people in the United States have de facto fewer rights than "white" people. Anyone who says otherwise is an optimist and optimists are just people who don't know all the facts or deny them. And no one has acknowledged their guilt like that, has admitted it and taken it in with "the mother's milk" like we Germans. Except for Germany, no one has apologized for their misconduct, acknowledged them, reflected on them and tried to apologize afterwards. Be it for slavery, religious wars, racism that still exists today or for wars that were falsely and demonstrably started with lies, like in Iraq. Even more so in the US today, where laws and freedoms are being scaled back by old-fashioned beliefs. Take the freedom of sexual self-determination or abortion laws. Made by mostly men sitting in an ancient wigwam as the council of the elders, they decide things they don't even begin to understand or have experienced. Gender is no longer allowed, people no longer talk about gay/lesbian/trans or it is even forbidden by law. Women are no longer allowed to control their own bodies. Back to the 50's is the motto for half of the population. It also doesn't matter whether the woman became pregnant through rape or adopted children from same-sex relationships suddenly lose their footing and the rug is pulled out from under their feet. The main thing is that a large mass of stupid, simple-minded, ignorant and medieval opinions are fueled that could influence the outcome of the next presidential election. It also doesn't matter that the USA is the only country where children die more often from guns than from traffic. Mistakes made in the past are sat out, an article addition from the 18th century, where there were only single-shot weapons for self-defense and hunting in the wilderness, is dragged along to the present day and not legally revised, although there are now types of weapons that have 1000 shots per minute and actually everything is pacified. For the best example look at Julian Assange! War criminals are not wanted in the USA, but rather those who exposed them. As a citizen of such a nation, would at least give me food for thought........... ------- Deutsch / German translation ------- Ich bin Deutscher und stolz auf das, was mein Volk und meine Vorfahren erfunden und ermöglicht haben. Ich bin Deutscher und schäme mich für das, was mein Volk und meine Vorfahren der Welt im Holocaust angetan haben. Doch ich lebe seit 50 Jahren hier und jetzt! Ich habe weder auf das eine, noch das andere einwirken können. Ich bin Deutscher, trage stolz, aber auch demütig meines Volks Geschichte. Weder für dass eine, noch für das andere habe ich etwas bei getragen. Ich kann nur, wie jeder Mensch auf dieser Welt, egal aus welchem Land er kommt, egal welche Hautfarbe er hat und egal, welcher Religion er angehört nur eines tun: mein Bestes, um die Welt ein wenig besser zu machen! Das eine geht nicht ohne das andere. Wo Licht ist, ist auch Schatten, niemand ist ohne Fehler. Leider vergessen es viele Nationen und Religionen, wenn in Ihrer Vergangenheit etwas falsch gelaufen ist. Russland hatte zur Zeit des zweiten Weltkriegs ebenfalls Konzentrationslager und hat bewusst und gewollt, Volksminderheiten verfolgt, umgesiedelt und ermordet. Genau so, wie Italien zu dieser Zeit. Oder Polen (bei denen es mittlerweile unter strafe steht, solche Handlungen zu thematisieren). Die christliche Kirche hat Krieg und Leid in die Länder als erstes hinein getragen, die später als die "Achse des Bösen" benannt wurden. Sie hat immer wieder Jerusalem angegriffen, um die "heilige Stadt" zu befreien, obwohl Ihnen durch die dortigen, islamischen Herrscher erlaubt worden war, Ihre Kirchen zu bauen. Inquisition, Hexenverbrennung und Verfolgung in dem Mittelalter in Ihren Namen und heute sprechen sie nur noch vom "lieben Gott". Die USA, die maßgeblich in Ihrer frühen Zeit die Sklaverei förderte, befeuerte und unterstützte, auch mit dem segen der Kirche. Ausrottung ganzer nativer Volksstämme durch die Gründerväter und ihren Tross in Nordamerika. Abschlachtung von Wildtierbeständen, um die Nahrungsgrundlage dieser indigenen Völker zu nehmen und sie verhungern zu lassen, abschneiden von Wasservorkommen, um sie verdursten zu lassen. In immer kleinere Reservate zwängen, wenn auf dem ehemaligen, verhandeltem Gebiet doch etwas zu holen war. Sklaven halten oder verrecken zu lassen, bis in die Neuzeit. Bis zum heutigen Zeitpunkt haben schwarze, farbige, hispan, asiatische und indigene Menschen in den USA de facto weniger Rechte, als die "weißen" Menschen. Wer was anderes sagt ist ein Optimist und Optimisten sind nur Meschen, die nicht alle Fakten kennen oder sie verleugnen. Und niemand hat seine Schuld so bestätigt, ist für sie eingestanden und hat sie mit "der Muttermilch" aufgenommen, wie wir Deutschen. Niemand hat sich, außer Deutschland, für seine Fehlverhalten entschuldigt, sie anerkannt, sie reflektiert und versucht, im Nachhinein Abbitte zu leisten. Sei es für Sklaverei, religiöse Kriege, noch heute existenter Rassismus oder für fälschlich und nachweislich unter Lügen begonnene Kriege, wie im Irak. Heute sogar noch mehr in den USA, wo Gestze und Freiheiten zurückgeschraubt werden von altbackenen Ansichten. Nimm die Freiheit der sexuellen Selbstbestimmung oder Abtribungsgesetze. Gemacht durch überwiegend Männer, die wie in einem Vorzeitlichen Wigwam sitzen als Rat der ältesten bestimmen sie über Dinge, die sie nichtmal ansatzweise begreifen oder erlebt haben. Es darf nicht mehr gegendert werden, über schwul/lesbisch/trans wird nicht mehr geredet oder es wird sogar per Gesetz verboten. Frauen dürfen nicht mehr über ihren eigenen Körper bestimmen. Zurück in die 50'er ist das Motto bei der hälfte der Bevölkerung. Es ist auch egal, ob die Frau durch Vergewaltigung schwanger wurde oder adoptierte Kinder aus gleichgeschlechtlichen Beziehungen plötzlich Ihren Halt verlieren und ihnen der Boden unter den Füßen weggezogen wird. Hauptsache, es wird eine große Masse an stumpfsinnigen, einfältigen, ignoranten und mittelalterlichen Meinungen befeuert, die den Ausgang der nächsten Präsidentschaftswahl beeinflussen könnten. Auch egal, dass die USA das einzige Land ist, in der Kinder durch Schusswaffen häufiger sterben, als im Straßenverkehr. In der Vergangenheit gemachte Fehler werden ausgesessen, ein Artikelzusatz aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, wo es nur Einzelschusswaffen gab zur Selbstverteidigung und Jagd in der Wildnis, wird bis in die heutige Zeit mitgeschleppt und nicht gesetzesverbindlich überarbeitet, obwohl es mittlerweile Waffengattungen gibt, die 1000 Schuss pro Minute raushauen können und eigentlich alles befriedet ist. Als bestes Beispiel schaut auf Julian Assange! Nicht die Kriegsverbrecher werden in der USA gesucht, sondern derjenige, der sie offenbart hat. Gäbe mir als Bürger einer solchen Nation zumindest den ein oder anderen Denkanstoß...........
@geranienbaumreally? That is your only point? He is right with everything he said. This was no offense, it only was something the people of the US should think about. Kind of "we as the people can change things with demonstrations and elections".. Something like that. Its something about life and all the people of the world. Simple concept. If there is no critisism from the outside, you will never learn about your mistakes. If you do not learn what your mistakes are, you will repeat them and repeat them and repeat them ever and ever and ever again.... You only can change things with critisism. So his text was not like "hey, you guys fucked up, you dickheads!" It was more like: "Hey guys, you have this and this and this problem... you should change that for a better life for you all" That by the way is what all the people mean when they say "the germans are brutaly honest" and this also is the reason why germany as such a little country, today is one of the world leaders when it comes to economy, humans rights and workers rights. Because we critisise ourselfes and learn about our history and our mistakes.
@geranienbaum This time is also discussed here and the guilt is admitted.. but what about other countries.. ??? What about Islam, whose campaigns of conquest have cost the lives of more than 270 million people and the killing in the name of Islam continues, day by day !!! I'm tired of always hearing about Germany's guilt and the much bigger crimes of other states or religions are being kept secret..!!!
@@meisterhans6119 Auf Deutsch: Es ist immer gut, demütig zu bleiben und sich an die Fehler der Vorväter zu erinnern. Gleichzeitig bedeutet das nicht, dass man sich selbst und sein Land deshalb ablehnen muss. Selbstbestimmung bedeutet, mit der GANZEN Realität zu leben, mit dem Guten und dem Schlechten und sich beider Seiten bewußt zu sein. Dass es in anderen Ländern nicht so geschieht, mag schade sein, ist aber dann eher für diese Länder ein Problem, als für Deutschland oder die Deutschen. Deutschland kann aber mit der Gedenkkultur als gutes Beispiel für andere dienen. Ich denke nicht, dass es viele Menschen oder Länder gibt, die heute noch Deutschland nur allein an seiner Vergangenheit messen und verurteilen.
@geranienbaum You are confusing something! Of course, I also feel sorry for Germany's mistakes from that time, but it was the "Zeitgeist" of the time. African countries had to be conquered, subdued, missionized, exploited and ruled by all (ALL) European nations. Anyone who didn't do that was seen as bad and effeminate in world politics. The German Kaiser found the colonies a nuisance but necessary to avoid being seen as a complete honk. But instead of exploiting them, he tried to bring education and progress to the few countries that were tied to Germany. Should be no justification for crimes in time. But I was talking about the Holocaust, which was bureaucratically effectively driven to perfection in Germany alone in the extermination of peoples. Even in the current Ukraine-Russia war one hears rumors that Ukrainian children are to be kidnapped and re-educated. That would have been unimaginable at the time of Germany in the Second World War, since they mostly belonged to "degenerate ethnic groups" and "Germanization" would not have been possible from the point of view of the Nazi leadership. Thus, small, very small, and children were also systematically murdered. They were ethnically "depraved". You can't compare that with Germany's colonial policy before the Weimar Republic. One was the current zeitgeist; the other distorted, distorted and inhuman worldview. And, I happily repeat, it's still deeply rooted in the mind of the American people. Everything is worth less, everything should have fewer rights than "we" white people. The forefathers of these very Americans pulled this fragment from us (the German people). Matthew 7.1 - 7.5: The USA likes to swear by the Bible and God, so this heel should be known! German: Du verwechselst was! Natürlich tun mir auch die Fehler Deutschlands aus dieser Zeit Leid, doch es war der damalige "Zeitgeist". Afrikanische Länder mussten erobert, unterworfen, missionarisiert, ausgebeutet und beherrscht werden, von allen (ALLEN) europäischen Nationen. Wer das nicht tat, stand in der Weltpolitik schlecht und verweichlicht dar. Der deutsche Kaiser befand die Kolonien als lästig aber notwendig, um nicht als völliger Honk dar zu stehen. Aber anstatt sie auszubeuten hat er versucht, Bildung und Fortschritt in die paar Länder zu bringen, die an Deutschland gebunden waren. Soll keine Rechtferigung für Verbrechen in der Zeit sein. Doch ich habe vom Holocaust gesprochen, der alleine durch Deutschland bürokratisch effektiv bis zur Perfektion in Völkervernichtung/Menschenvernichtung getrieben wurde. Selbst im jetzigen Ukraine-Russlandkrieg hört man gerüchteweise, dass ukrainische Kinder verschleppt und umerzogen werden sollen. Das wäre zur Zeit Deutschlands im 2. Weltkrieg unvorstellbar gewesen, da sie zumaeist "degenerierten Volksgruppen" angehörten und eine "Germanisierung" aus sicht der Naziführung gar nicht möglich gewesen wäre. Somit wurden Klein-/Kleinst-/Kinder auch systematisch ermordet. Sie waren ethnisch "verdorben". Das kann man nicht mit der Kolonialpolitik Deutschlands vor der Weimarerer Republik vergleichen. Das eine war der aktuelle Zeitgeist; das andere verquere, entstellte und menschenverachtende Weltanschauung. Und, ich wiederhohle es gerne, immer noch tief im Geist der US-amerikanischen Bevölkerung verankert ist. Alles ist weniger Wert, alles soll weniger Rechte haben, als "wir " Weißen. Diesen Splitter haben uns (dem deutschen Volk) die Vorväter genau dieser US-Amerikaner gezogen. Matthäus 7.1 - 7.5: Die USA schwört doch gerne auf Bibel und Gott, so sollten gerade diese Ferse bekannt sein!
oh wow. there is a german saying for such a situation :D halbe Bibel, ganzer ... 😅 maybe i just don't translate, because its an (in that case) funny offending regarding the MASSIVE LENGHT of this dudes comment 🤣 meaning like.. half a Bible but fully ... who reads all that? 🤭
Fun fact according to this Video we Germans are brewing beer and Mining experts and kind of stubborn with cultural aspects. So we German people are the living dwarfs.
Today, most of the American population has German ancestry. The US census from 2000 shows: More than 49.2 million of the 282 million Americans at the turn of the millennium (today there are around 323 million) said they were descended from Germans.
There is a town in the USA, unfortunately I have forgotten the name, where almost all the breweries were German. // Beer in America - unthinkable without emigrants from the German southwest: Eberhard Anheuser and Adolphus Busch invented “Budweiser” and founded the world’s largest beer empire. // Only a few breweries survived the brewing ban of Prohibition in 1920, often by switching production, for example to ice cream or non-alcoholic drinks. It wasn't until 1933, after Prohibition ended, that things started to look up again.
even as a german its quite interesting to watch this. also a few unknown things ive seen i didnt know before in spite im quite familiar and educated in german history.. nice and interesting youtubechannel u have
Around 130 million people worldwide speak German as their native language. German is the most widely spoken native language in the European Union and the official language in Germany, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg, as well as in Liechtenstein. German is also the official language in Switzerland.12.02.2020
2:45 There were big communities of German-speaking immigrants in Russia (they had even their own Volga German Autonomous Soviet Republic within the USSR 1924 - 1941; after the German invasion the republic was abolished by Stalin and the inhabitants deported to nearby Kazakhstan as well as Altai and Siberia. Other places are the Azovsky Nemetsky National District (still about 50% of German descent), Nemetsky District in Altai, some communities in Crimea, Kyrgyzstan, Ciscausia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Ukraine ...), but also in Romania, Bulgaria and other places. Most of them immigrated during the 18th and 19th century, after those regions were conquered either by Russia or Austria-Hungary. They often did still speak some German dialect within their villages and even sometimes had their own newspapers. Catherine II the Great of Russia and her successors recruited settlers mostly from poorer regions in Germany to resettle abandoned regions (many Crimean Tatars e.g. - including assimilated Goths, Greeks, Sarmatians and other - flew to the Ottoman Empire, other regions were always sparsely populated or became depopulated by the wars) and "tame the wilderness". 4:27 Exploiting the murder of 2 German missionaries (Juye incident) the German Navy occupied in 1898 the Chinese town of Qingdao and then enforced getting a leasehold treaty for 99 years including the whole peninsula (Kiautschou Bay Leased Territory). In 1914 Japan declared war on Germany and occupied the territory. Tsingtao brewery was founded in 1903 by German settlers and became later an English-German joint venture (until 1916). The brand Budweiser refers to the Czech city of Budějovice (Budweis in German), but the original Budvar beer tastes far better than the US brand. Czechs are at least as good beer brewers as Germans, and they drink more per capita. The beer variety "Pils" or "Pilsner" e.g. was invented in Plzeň (German: Pilsen) and is now the most favored beer variety in northern Germany. Eberhard Anheuser emigrated around 1842 from Bad Kreuznach (Rhineland-Palatinate) to St Louis, Missouri, where he became wealthy by producing soaps and candles. In 1856 he invested 90,000 $ into the small company Bavarian Brewery Hammer & Urban. In 1861 his daughter Lily married Adolphus Busch, an immigrant from Kastel (now a suburb of Mainz). Busch's father was a hops trader, and Johann Busch, his brother, had founded a brewery in Washington, Missouri, which in 1865 merged with Anheuser's brewery. Adolphus was no trained brewer, but after a journey to Europe, where he heard of the new method of pasteurization, he experimented with pasteurizing beer, which allowed then for longer transports and shelf life than the competition.
As a German, I can understand that the Germans were expelled from other countries, because the Nazis have already caused a lot of mischief (that's actually an understatement) in these countries. People were angry and afraid it would happen again.
I has a lot to do with merica. They teach holocaust as a subject in school. Teach their people that germany is only the ww2 time and recent. Nothing before, nothing between. This is the country that makes the worlds movies and series - so ofc the world wont remember 2k of history. But i do. GERMANIA ❤🎉
It starts with a statement which is wrong in two aspects and as there are only two it's completely wrong. 1. Germans in the sense of Germanic Tribes were not one people and Germans in the sense of the German nation are a people only for a bit more than 150 years. 2. The German language is not older than the English language. At least not the German language that is used today. English is in deed a Germanic language.
7:05 I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean? That German excelled in being mercenaries? The Romans used troops and officers from all over their imperium (for e.g. the occupation troops in today Bavaria consisted partly of Syrian archers, while they send Germanic mercenaries to campaigns in Northern Africa) and sometimes also from temporary allies (they used Hun troops commandeered by Attila to defeat the first Burgundian kingdom at the Rhine). In the 16th and 17th century German mercenaries competed with Swiss mercenaries for the best postings throughout Europe - but that was not driven by skills in the first place, but by poverty and lack of other options. Catherine the Great was born as Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst in Stettin (in the province of Pomerania of the Electorate of Brandenburg in the German kingdom); her uncle Adolf Friedrich of Holstein-Gottorf became 1751 King of Sweden. She was married in 1744 to her cousin Peter, Duke of Holstein-Gottorf, nephew of Adolf Friedrich and heir to the Russian throne. She was therefore a German immigrant herself (and the dynasty of Tsars founded by her was not only of German descent, but refreshed their "German blood" regularly - Catherine's daughter-in-law was Sophie of Württemberg, her grandson Alexander I married Louise of Baden, her other grandson Nicholas I Charlotte of Prussia.) and invited other Germans to Russia. The German ancestry of US generals corresponds simply to the share of German ancestry in the general population of the US. There is no "German gene" and surely not an inborn military skill. The Teutonic order had been defeated in Palestina, as the King of Poland asked for help against the pagan Prussians, so they started a new crusade there. They conquered the region, but had to accept Polish sovereignty - they were multiple times defeated by Polish and Lithuanian troops when they demanded autonomy, and defeated by Russian troops when they wanted to expand. In 1525 Grandmaster Albert of Ansbach (from the Franconian branch of House Hohenzollern) converted together with most of his knights to Lutheranism and was appointed Duke in Prussia by his uncle King Sigismund I of Poland. Because his son Albrecht Friedrich got mentally insane, his relative Georg Friedrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbuch was appointed in 1571 by king Stephan Bathory of Poland as legal guardian and regent; he was followed in 1603 by Joachim Friedrich, Prince-Elector of Brandenburg and in 1608 by Joachim's son Johann Sigismund, who married Albrecht Friedrich's daughter Anna. Prussia became independent only in 1658 by Swedish intervention.
I see some misconceptions here. There were no Germans in the ancient Roman Empire yet, but just a lot of different tribes, and the part of Bavaria under Roman control was still Celtic. There was a lot of migration over centuries and some of the Germanic tribes that arrived later didn't even stay to become Germans, but moved away like the Langobards or the Vandals. The Teutonic Order was in fact the only big crusader order that has never been defeated in Palestina. They supported Emperor Friedrich II in his crusade, which was the only one that succeeded in taking Jerusalem by just negotiating and without actual fighting. The order didn't leave Palestina defeated, but only because of their disagreement and rivalry with the older big orders, the Hospitallers and particularly the Templars. They were also not fighting for Germany when they moved to Poland, but for the Church, Christianity and the Pope. That's why their relations with the catholic Poles were actually very good in the beginning and very bad only in the 15th century. The Poles and Lithuanians had one great victory at Tannenberg, but failed to take Marienberg and would also still lose ten thousands of troops against the order some battles later. There is no "German gene" providing superior military skills, of course. But it's not exactly a myth that German US immigrants were more likely than other people to either have military experience or to descend from families which had old military traditions, alone for the facts that Germans were involved in quite a lot of wars and for most of the time divided into many different states, which had their own armies, wars and battles, some of them already over a thousand years or more. There's a reason why Germany has ten times more castles than any other country in the world. The USA didn't even exist yet when German armies defeated the Magyars, the Seljuks, the Ottomans, almost every other country in Europe or just other German armies. Germans have helped to win Gettysburg and even Polish troops had one of their greatest victories when united with a German army, like at Vienna. It's by no means a history of just losers or mercenaries.
But it's true, German mercenaries were the best. For example, Hessian mercenaries could keep fighting even after losing their heads. There is a famous documentary about this titled "The Decapitated Rider" or something
2:48 Yes, Germans, who were living outside of Germanys today boundaries, were mass-deported after WW2. Mass deported by force. They lost all of their lands, homes and possessions and became refugees. This is true for Germanys lost territories (Prussia and Schlesia, etc.) and East European lands, where German communities lived for centuries prior to WW2. In East Prussia, Russia also mass-deported / re-settled its own people by force, to fill the vacuum and take these now empty lands. It was a measure by the Soviets to make sure, that future Germans will never have a reason to ever take back these lands and to annex these territories themselves forever. It was an unhumane thing to do, but they didn't do this solely to Germans. A similar thing did not happen in the west of Germany though, only in the then Soviet controlled regions. Germans commited insane crimes on the east European people during WW2, so it was one of the prices Germans had to pay for this.
It's not all right. Yes, German Christian knights conquered Prussia, the people there were not full-fledged people in their eyes because they were not Christians. One day the rulers of Brandenburg wanted to become king. East Prussia was outside the German Empire, but was owned by the Brandenburg nobles. So their wish was granted. I am a Berliner and this is just one episode in the complicated German history. It is not without reason that only older regional history is usually taught in schools. As far as I know, things are similar in Saxony. The Saxons proper settled north and west of Hamburg in the north. But beyond that I don't know much. To this day there are many disrespectful stories about people who settle just a few miles away. But those were times when there were almost 3000 more or less independent territories and cities.
I would love to guide you through Berlin. I grew up in an architectural unique building called "Schlange" (Schlangenbader Strasse) and you would be stunned every f*cking Second😂 only by this Building, but i know every other hot spot and as i wrote earlier, i would love to guide you (Earlier than10k, maybe 5k)
Miller vs. Müller! :) "Germany" was huge - a very long time ago! You always heard about Hitler and the "3rd Reich" ("Third Empire"), right!? < This fact includes, that there has been a 1st and a 2nd Reich - and of course colonies like "Namibia" (back then: "Deutsch-Südwestafrika"), Kamerun, Togo, "Deutsch-Ostafrika" (aka. "Tansania, Burundi, Ruanda"), Neuginea (Papa-Neuginea), Marshall-Islands, Kiautschou (< part of China today), Karolinen, Palau, Mariaislands (Mikronesien), Samoa-Island (now West-Samoa), ... and ... America, South-America and stuff ... they conquested the whole world! Or short: A lot of history as it is an old country! :-/ So if you're in the middle of a desert in Australia ... if somebody claims to have german roots ... he might not be lying! ^^+gg
@@Dr_Klops Dumbest argument. A united China is also a very new concept. Still the chinese people existed for thousands of years in different kingdoms. When we say Germany existed for a very long time it is always a reference to the people not a political construct like a state.
@@arnodobler1096 Not very likely since we Germans didn't exist then. Julius Cesar named Germania Germania not regarding if the people living there were Gemanic tribes or maybe Slavic ones. But feel free to look up how many Germanic tribes existed, where they lived and moved and part of which nations the became.
@@Skyl3t0n This is a very stupid and ignorant way of rewriting history. You don't seem to know what a people is and how it comes into being. Foundation is always shared culture and experiences like wars or revolutions. No one of those existed before Napoleon Bonaparte defeated all the states in the Holy Roman Empire. Can you name one single try to create a German naition before? Name a single event of which most of the dominions participated together. On the other hand you'll find many where the named fought against each other - and you really think that made them one people?
1:15 Language older than English, French, .. and so on? That is a very questionable interpretation. English and German are both Germanic languages, but that does not necessarily mean one is "older" than the other. Olde English and Old (Low) German speakers would have understood each other very well compared to modern English and modern German, but the difference between early English and modern English is only a little higher than that between early medieval High German and modern Standard German. As for Italian, Spanish and French: Those are Latin-derived, with different levels of Germanic, Celtic and Arabic influences depending on region. Latin however existed before the Germanic languages split up in Low Franconian (Dutch), Low German (old Saxon), old English and the other subgroups.
is there a reason why the speaker of that video is butchering the words so much? saitang? please, the word starts with a z and it ends with ung. and which schools are you talking about? are you really telling me that we here in austria never heard of the pre WW2 history of germany? because you explain it like it is nowhere taught outside of germany. nowhere, never ever, maybe in german schools.
1:23 "...Thousands of years as a people" Thats just wrong. There where no german people up until modern times. There were just many different mostly germanic peoples (Alemans, Angles, Saxons, Teoutons, Swabians, Jutes, Slavs, ...) Nations always start off as a fiction, especially germany 😉
I am German and i'm sure that Thomas Sowell is a good man, but he is not a historian and even more important he is not German. The "Facts" in this video are not taught in school because they are everything but facts. 1. Our language is NOT centuries older than all the other languages. Imagine that a German, a French, a Britisch and a Spanish would enter a time machine and travel like 1000 years back in time. The French, The British and the Spanish guy would be able to speak to their people, it wouldn't be easy for them, but they would understand each other more or less. And the German guy? He wouldn't understand one fucking word, not a chance to talk with the Germans from 1000 years ago, because the language from back then and the modern German are like two different languages. What Thomas Sowell knows as "the German language" is like 400 years old. 2. Germany as a country exists since 1871, means we didn't manage to form a united country in over 1871 years, every other civilization on Planet Earth managed to do that way before us, even the Americans managed to form a united country before us. 3. So Germans could brew beer in roman times. Thomas Sowell says that like its something special, while in reality its not. The Germans learned how to brew beer from the Romans and they learned that from the Egyptians, because the Egyptians knew how to brew beer more than 2000 years before the Germans even heard the name of this drink. I could continue this list and correct these "facts" over and over again. The reason why these facts are not taught in school is because they are 10% truth mixed with 90% nonsense. I have a advice for Thomas Sowell: "Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal die Fresse halten" which roughly translates to "If you don't have a clue what you are talking about, then you better shut the fuck up".
"Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal die Fresse halten" . Diesen niveaulosen Ratschlag kann ich nur zurückgeben mit Deinem unreflektierten Schulbuchwissen.
@@joachimniebling5034 ah, Schulbuchwissen. Das du diesen Begriff verwendest lässt in mir den Verdacht aufkommen das du dein Wissen aus "alternativen" Quellen beziehst (kann natürlich sein das ich das falsch verstanden habe, in dem Fall bitte ich um Entschuldigung). Da du ja scheinbar über ein größeres Wissen verfügst wäre es doch richtig nett wenn du mir sagst wo ich denn falsch lag, damit ich diesen Fehler nicht wiederhole.
@@BerndFunken Ich diskutiere nicht mit Leuten, die aggressiv ihre Meinung vertreten, weil sie, wie sagt man so schön heute, der "Wissenschaft" folgen, die immer im Einklang mit dem gegenwärtigen bundesrepublikanischen Schulbuchwissen stehen. Ich bin 70 Jahre alt, Jurist und habe neben Englisch, Latein, Französisch und Russisch auch etwas Spanisch, Italienisch und Afrikaans gelernt und bediene mich bei Informationen, auch Historischen, dieser Sprachquellen. Gerade in Geschichte habe ich oftmals gravierende "offizielle" Änderungen erlebt, um zu glauben, alles was die deutschen Schulbehörden mir als historische Wahrheit vorsetzen zu glauben. Ich könnte dies näher an Beispielen erläutern, halte das aber für zwecklos. Ich halte die Beiträge Thomas Sowells durchaus für seriöse , beachtenswerte Quellen.
Some of your "facts" in point 1) and 2) are a little too sweeping and therefore wonky. 1) Having studied Medieval Sciences a few decades ago, I can assure you that there ratio of blank faces in the ME and MHD reading course among the native speakers of each language was evenly distributed. In both languages some things were easy to read/figure out while others required massive help by the professor. Saying that English people would be able to hold (a very basic) conversation with their ancestors from 1,000 years ago, whereas the Germans simply wouldn't be able to talk to their ancestors is nonsense. Sorry! 2) Have a look at Italy -which, no doubt, has a rock-solid track record with regards to culture. It became a country a measly 10 years before Germany. Not all that much. And there are quite a few, now well-established countries, which were 'born' only in the 19th century. So yeah, the facts from the original video are meh, but point 2 lacks context.
I'm German too, 70 years old. I can easily understand medieval Middle High German, spoken 700 hundred years ago. But you're right it's hard to understand Old High German , but believe me a German has fewer problens to read a Old English text from before 1066 than a Brit of today. And the French have also the same difficulties difficulties to read a medieval French textas the Germans have with Old High German. And there was a a "First reich" a thousand years ago. It was British and American propaganda during WW I to say Germany didn't exist before 1871. The first Reich was called "Holy Roman Empire of German Nation". And before that there was the "East Franconian Reich"after the split upof Charlemagnes empire. The first time the word "deutsch" was mentioned in a written document was in the 8th century about 760 a.D. Although the Germans were members of different tribes at that time they felt, they belonged to one nation . I know nowadays these facts are not taught in German schools for poltical reasons.
In Deutschland (Germany), every schoolchild learns that Germanen (Germanic tribes) are not the same as Deutsche (Germans). And later also that Deutscher (German) does not automatically mean deutscher Staatsbürger (German citizen). The confusion actually only arises in the English language. Admittedly, there are right-wing idiots who still believe the Third Reich propaganda that Deutsche are Germanen. If anything, it would be the Danes.

Can't put anything on the list, technical issue. Here's my suggestion: ruclips.net/video/r0YhVJMkvSk/видео.html
Satirical late night show ZDF Magazin Royale with Jan Böhmerman, an episode about hand guns. The short story is this: it starts off with the (for Europeans) very well known narrative of the USA being too liberal with hand fire weapons; supposedly Germany is much better with gun control; but wait a minute... many of the weapons used by private people in the US are actually from one Austrian and three German weapon makers; there are differences in how they are marketing their brands in Germany and the US respectively. That is, the target of the show is the German weapon industry's dirty secrets. No English subtitles, sorry. @zdfmagazinroyale ?
Your channel is cool, I find it really important that we can have this cross culture dialogue about things (and have fun at the same time :D ). Keep it up!
I am German and proud of what my people and my ancestors invented and made possible.
I am German and I am ashamed of what my people and my ancestors did to the world in the Holocaust.
But I live here and now since 50 years!
I have not been able to influence either one or the other.
I am German, I proudly but also humbly carry the history of my people.
I didn't contribute anything to either one or the other.
Like every person in this world, no matter what country they come from, no matter what skin color they have and no matter what religion they belong to, I can only do one thing: do my best to make the world a little bit better!
One doesn't work without the other.
Where there is light there is also shadow, nobody is without flaws.
Unfortunately, when something went wrong in your past, many nations and religions forget it.
At the time of the Second World War, Russia also had concentration camps and consciously and willingly persecuted, resettled and murdered minorities.
Just like Italy at that time. Or Poland (where it is now a punishable offense to address such acts).
The Christian church was the first to bring war and suffering to the countries later named the "Axis of Evil".
They have repeatedly attacked Jerusalem to liberate the "holy city" even though they were allowed to build their churches by the Islamic rulers there.
Inquisition, burning of witches and persecution in the Middle Ages in their name and today they only speak of "Dear God".
The USA, which significantly promoted, fired and supported slavery in its early days, also with the blessing of the church.
Extermination of entire native tribes by the Founding Fathers and their entourage in North America. Slaughtering wildlife to deprive these indigenous peoples of their food base and starving them, cutting off water resources to starve them. Squeeze into smaller and smaller reservations, if there was something to be gained in the former, negotiated area.
Keeping slaves or letting them die until modern times. To date, Black, Coloured, Hispanic, Asian, and Indigenous people in the United States have de facto fewer rights than "white" people.
Anyone who says otherwise is an optimist and optimists are just people who don't know all the facts or deny them.
And no one has acknowledged their guilt like that, has admitted it and taken it in with "the mother's milk" like we Germans.
Except for Germany, no one has apologized for their misconduct, acknowledged them, reflected on them and tried to apologize afterwards.
Be it for slavery, religious wars, racism that still exists today or for wars that were falsely and demonstrably started with lies, like in Iraq.
Even more so in the US today, where laws and freedoms are being scaled back by old-fashioned beliefs.
Take the freedom of sexual self-determination or abortion laws.
Made by mostly men sitting in an ancient wigwam as the council of the elders, they decide things they don't even begin to understand or have experienced.
Gender is no longer allowed, people no longer talk about gay/lesbian/trans or it is even forbidden by law.
Women are no longer allowed to control their own bodies.
Back to the 50's is the motto for half of the population.
It also doesn't matter whether the woman became pregnant through rape or adopted children from same-sex relationships suddenly lose their footing and the rug is pulled out from under their feet.
The main thing is that a large mass of stupid, simple-minded, ignorant and medieval opinions are fueled that could influence the outcome of the next presidential election.
It also doesn't matter that the USA is the only country where children die more often from guns than from traffic.
Mistakes made in the past are sat out, an article addition from the 18th century, where there were only single-shot weapons for self-defense and hunting in the wilderness, is dragged along to the present day and not legally revised, although there are now types of weapons that have 1000 shots per minute and actually everything is pacified.
For the best example look at Julian Assange!
War criminals are not wanted in the USA, but rather those who exposed them.
As a citizen of such a nation, would at least give me food for thought...........

Ich bin Deutscher und stolz auf das, was mein Volk und meine Vorfahren erfunden und ermöglicht haben.
Ich bin Deutscher und schäme mich für das, was mein Volk und meine Vorfahren der Welt im Holocaust angetan haben.
Doch ich lebe seit 50 Jahren hier und jetzt!
Ich habe weder auf das eine, noch das andere einwirken können.
Ich bin Deutscher, trage stolz, aber auch demütig meines Volks Geschichte.
Weder für dass eine, noch für das andere habe ich etwas bei getragen.
Ich kann nur, wie jeder Mensch auf dieser Welt, egal aus welchem Land er kommt, egal welche Hautfarbe er hat und egal, welcher Religion er angehört nur eines tun: mein Bestes, um die Welt ein wenig besser zu machen!
Das eine geht nicht ohne das andere.
Wo Licht ist, ist auch Schatten, niemand ist ohne Fehler.
Leider vergessen es viele Nationen und Religionen, wenn in Ihrer Vergangenheit etwas falsch gelaufen ist.
Russland hatte zur Zeit des zweiten Weltkriegs ebenfalls Konzentrationslager und hat bewusst und gewollt, Volksminderheiten verfolgt, umgesiedelt und ermordet.
Genau so, wie Italien zu dieser Zeit. Oder Polen (bei denen es mittlerweile unter strafe steht, solche Handlungen zu thematisieren).
Die christliche Kirche hat Krieg und Leid in die Länder als erstes hinein getragen, die später als die "Achse des Bösen" benannt wurden.
Sie hat immer wieder Jerusalem angegriffen, um die "heilige Stadt" zu befreien, obwohl Ihnen durch die dortigen, islamischen Herrscher erlaubt worden war, Ihre Kirchen zu bauen.
Inquisition, Hexenverbrennung und Verfolgung in dem Mittelalter in Ihren Namen und heute sprechen sie nur noch vom "lieben Gott".
Die USA, die maßgeblich in Ihrer frühen Zeit die Sklaverei förderte, befeuerte und unterstützte, auch mit dem segen der Kirche.
Ausrottung ganzer nativer Volksstämme durch die Gründerväter und ihren Tross in Nordamerika. Abschlachtung von Wildtierbeständen, um die Nahrungsgrundlage dieser indigenen Völker zu nehmen und sie verhungern zu lassen, abschneiden von Wasservorkommen, um sie verdursten zu lassen. In immer kleinere Reservate zwängen, wenn auf dem ehemaligen, verhandeltem Gebiet doch etwas zu holen war.
Sklaven halten oder verrecken zu lassen, bis in die Neuzeit. Bis zum heutigen Zeitpunkt haben schwarze, farbige, hispan, asiatische und indigene Menschen in den USA de facto weniger Rechte, als die "weißen" Menschen.
Wer was anderes sagt ist ein Optimist und Optimisten sind nur Meschen, die nicht alle Fakten kennen oder sie verleugnen.
Und niemand hat seine Schuld so bestätigt, ist für sie eingestanden und hat sie mit "der Muttermilch" aufgenommen, wie wir Deutschen.
Niemand hat sich, außer Deutschland, für seine Fehlverhalten entschuldigt, sie anerkannt, sie reflektiert und versucht, im Nachhinein Abbitte zu leisten.
Sei es für Sklaverei, religiöse Kriege, noch heute existenter Rassismus oder für fälschlich und nachweislich unter Lügen begonnene Kriege, wie im Irak.
Heute sogar noch mehr in den USA, wo Gestze und Freiheiten zurückgeschraubt werden von altbackenen Ansichten.
Nimm die Freiheit der sexuellen Selbstbestimmung oder Abtribungsgesetze.
Gemacht durch überwiegend Männer, die wie in einem Vorzeitlichen Wigwam sitzen als Rat der ältesten bestimmen sie über Dinge, die sie nichtmal ansatzweise begreifen oder erlebt haben.
Es darf nicht mehr gegendert werden, über schwul/lesbisch/trans wird nicht mehr geredet oder es wird sogar per Gesetz verboten.
Frauen dürfen nicht mehr über ihren eigenen Körper bestimmen.
Zurück in die 50'er ist das Motto bei der hälfte der Bevölkerung.
Es ist auch egal, ob die Frau durch Vergewaltigung schwanger wurde oder adoptierte Kinder aus gleichgeschlechtlichen Beziehungen plötzlich Ihren Halt verlieren und ihnen der Boden unter den Füßen weggezogen wird.
Hauptsache, es wird eine große Masse an stumpfsinnigen, einfältigen, ignoranten und mittelalterlichen Meinungen befeuert, die den Ausgang der nächsten Präsidentschaftswahl beeinflussen könnten.
Auch egal, dass die USA das einzige Land ist, in der Kinder durch Schusswaffen häufiger sterben, als im Straßenverkehr.
In der Vergangenheit gemachte Fehler werden ausgesessen, ein Artikelzusatz aus dem 18. Jahrhundert, wo es nur Einzelschusswaffen gab zur Selbstverteidigung und Jagd in der Wildnis, wird bis in die heutige Zeit mitgeschleppt und nicht gesetzesverbindlich überarbeitet, obwohl es mittlerweile Waffengattungen gibt, die 1000 Schuss pro Minute raushauen können und eigentlich alles befriedet ist.
Als bestes Beispiel schaut auf Julian Assange!
Nicht die Kriegsverbrecher werden in der USA gesucht, sondern derjenige, der sie offenbart hat.
Gäbe mir als Bürger einer solchen Nation zumindest den ein oder anderen Denkanstoß...........
@geranienbaumreally? That is your only point? He is right with everything he said.
This was no offense, it only was something the people of the US should think about.
Kind of "we as the people can change things with demonstrations and elections"..
Something like that.
Its something about life and all the people of the world.
Simple concept.
If there is no critisism from the outside, you will never learn about your mistakes.
If you do not learn what your mistakes are, you will repeat them and repeat them and repeat them ever and ever and ever again....
You only can change things with critisism.
So his text was not like "hey, you guys fucked up, you dickheads!" It was more like: "Hey guys, you have this and this and this problem... you should change that for a better life for you all"
That by the way is what all the people mean when they say "the germans are brutaly honest" and this also is the reason why germany as such a little country, today is one of the world leaders when it comes to economy, humans rights and workers rights.
Because we critisise ourselfes and learn about our history and our mistakes.
@geranienbaum This time is also discussed here and the guilt is admitted.. but what about other countries.. ???
What about Islam, whose campaigns of conquest have cost the lives of more than 270 million people and the killing in the name of Islam continues, day by day !!!
I'm tired of always hearing about Germany's guilt and the much bigger crimes of other states or religions are being kept secret..!!!
@@meisterhans6119 Auf Deutsch: Es ist immer gut, demütig zu bleiben und sich an die Fehler der Vorväter zu erinnern. Gleichzeitig bedeutet das nicht, dass man sich selbst und sein Land deshalb ablehnen muss. Selbstbestimmung bedeutet, mit der GANZEN Realität zu leben, mit dem Guten und dem Schlechten und sich beider Seiten bewußt zu sein. Dass es in anderen Ländern nicht so geschieht, mag schade sein, ist aber dann eher für diese Länder ein Problem, als für Deutschland oder die Deutschen. Deutschland kann aber mit der Gedenkkultur als gutes Beispiel für andere dienen. Ich denke nicht, dass es viele Menschen oder Länder gibt, die heute noch Deutschland nur allein an seiner Vergangenheit messen und verurteilen.
@geranienbaum You are confusing something!
Of course, I also feel sorry for Germany's mistakes from that time, but it was the "Zeitgeist" of the time.
African countries had to be conquered, subdued, missionized, exploited and ruled by all (ALL) European nations.
Anyone who didn't do that was seen as bad and effeminate in world politics.
The German Kaiser found the colonies a nuisance but necessary to avoid being seen as a complete honk.
But instead of exploiting them, he tried to bring education and progress to the few countries that were tied to Germany.
Should be no justification for crimes in time.
But I was talking about the Holocaust, which was bureaucratically effectively driven to perfection in Germany alone in the extermination of peoples.
Even in the current Ukraine-Russia war one hears rumors that Ukrainian children are to be kidnapped and re-educated.
That would have been unimaginable at the time of Germany in the Second World War, since they mostly belonged to "degenerate ethnic groups" and "Germanization" would not have been possible from the point of view of the Nazi leadership.
Thus, small, very small, and children were also systematically murdered.
They were ethnically "depraved".
You can't compare that with Germany's colonial policy before the Weimar Republic.
One was the current zeitgeist; the other distorted, distorted and inhuman worldview.
And, I happily repeat, it's still deeply rooted in the mind of the American people.
Everything is worth less, everything should have fewer rights than "we" white people.
The forefathers of these very Americans pulled this fragment from us (the German people).
Matthew 7.1 - 7.5: The USA likes to swear by the Bible and God, so this heel should be known!
German:
Du verwechselst was!
Natürlich tun mir auch die Fehler Deutschlands aus dieser Zeit Leid, doch es war der damalige "Zeitgeist".
Afrikanische Länder mussten erobert, unterworfen, missionarisiert, ausgebeutet und beherrscht werden, von allen (ALLEN) europäischen Nationen.
Wer das nicht tat, stand in der Weltpolitik schlecht und verweichlicht dar.
Der deutsche Kaiser befand die Kolonien als lästig aber notwendig, um nicht als völliger Honk dar zu stehen.
Aber anstatt sie auszubeuten hat er versucht, Bildung und Fortschritt in die paar Länder zu bringen, die an Deutschland gebunden waren.
Soll keine Rechtferigung für Verbrechen in der Zeit sein.
Doch ich habe vom Holocaust gesprochen, der alleine durch Deutschland bürokratisch effektiv bis zur Perfektion in Völkervernichtung/Menschenvernichtung getrieben wurde.
Selbst im jetzigen Ukraine-Russlandkrieg hört man gerüchteweise, dass ukrainische Kinder verschleppt und umerzogen werden sollen.
Das wäre zur Zeit Deutschlands im 2. Weltkrieg unvorstellbar gewesen, da sie zumaeist "degenerierten Volksgruppen" angehörten und eine "Germanisierung" aus sicht der Naziführung gar nicht möglich gewesen wäre.
Somit wurden Klein-/Kleinst-/Kinder auch systematisch ermordet.
Sie waren ethnisch "verdorben".
Das kann man nicht mit der Kolonialpolitik Deutschlands vor der Weimarerer Republik vergleichen.
Das eine war der aktuelle Zeitgeist; das andere verquere, entstellte und menschenverachtende Weltanschauung.
Und, ich wiederhohle es gerne, immer noch tief im Geist der US-amerikanischen Bevölkerung verankert ist.
Alles ist weniger Wert, alles soll weniger Rechte haben, als "wir " Weißen.
Diesen Splitter haben uns (dem deutschen Volk) die Vorväter genau dieser US-Amerikaner gezogen.
Matthäus 7.1 - 7.5: Die USA schwört doch gerne auf Bibel und Gott, so sollten gerade diese Ferse bekannt sein!

Today, most of the American population has German ancestry. The US census from 2000 shows: More than 49.2 million of the 282 million Americans at the turn of the millennium (today there are around 323 million) said they were descended from Germans.
There is a town in the USA, unfortunately I have forgotten the name, where almost all the breweries were German. // Beer in America - unthinkable without emigrants from the German southwest: Eberhard Anheuser and Adolphus Busch invented “Budweiser” and founded the world’s largest beer empire. // Only a few breweries survived the brewing ban of Prohibition in 1920, often by switching production, for example to ice cream or non-alcoholic drinks. It wasn't until 1933, after Prohibition ended, that things started to look up again.
even as a german its quite interesting to watch this.

Around 130 million people worldwide speak German as their native language. German is the most widely spoken native language in the European Union and the official language in Germany, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg, as well as in Liechtenstein. German is also the official language in Switzerland.12.02.2020
2:45 There were big communities of German-speaking immigrants in Russia (they had even their own Volga German Autonomous Soviet Republic within the USSR 1924 - 1941; after the German invasion the republic was abolished by Stalin and the inhabitants deported to nearby Kazakhstan as well as Altai and Siberia. Other places are the Azovsky Nemetsky National District (still about 50% of German descent), Nemetsky District in Altai, some communities in Crimea, Kyrgyzstan, Ciscausia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Ukraine ...), but also in Romania, Bulgaria and other places. Most of them immigrated during the 18th and 19th century, after those regions were conquered either by Russia or Austria-Hungary. They often did still speak some German dialect within their villages and even sometimes had their own newspapers. Catherine II the Great of Russia and her successors recruited settlers mostly from poorer regions in Germany to resettle abandoned regions (many Crimean Tatars e.g. - including assimilated Goths, Greeks, Sarmatians and other - flew to the Ottoman Empire, other regions were always sparsely populated or became depopulated by the wars) and "tame the wilderness".
4:27 Exploiting the murder of 2 German missionaries (Juye incident) the German Navy occupied in 1898 the Chinese town of Qingdao and then enforced getting a leasehold treaty for 99 years including the whole peninsula (Kiautschou Bay Leased Territory). In 1914 Japan declared war on Germany and occupied the territory. Tsingtao brewery was founded in 1903 by German settlers and became later an English-German joint venture (until 1916). The brand Budweiser refers to the Czech city of Budějovice (Budweis in German), but the original Budvar beer tastes far better than the US brand. Czechs are at least as good beer brewers as Germans, and they drink more per capita. The beer variety "Pils" or "Pilsner" e.g. was invented in Plzeň (German: Pilsen) and is now the most favored beer variety in northern Germany.
Eberhard Anheuser emigrated around 1842 from Bad Kreuznach (Rhineland-Palatinate) to St Louis, Missouri, where he became wealthy by producing soaps and candles. In 1856 he invested 90,000 $ into the small company Bavarian Brewery Hammer & Urban. In 1861 his daughter Lily married Adolphus Busch, an immigrant from Kastel (now a suburb of Mainz). Busch's father was a hops trader, and Johann Busch, his brother, had founded a brewery in Washington, Missouri, which in 1865 merged with Anheuser's brewery. Adolphus was no trained brewer, but after a journey to Europe, where he heard of the new method of pasteurization, he experimented with pasteurizing beer, which allowed then for longer transports and shelf life than the competition.
As a German, I can understand that the Germans were expelled from other countries, because the Nazis have already caused a lot of mischief (that's actually an understatement) in these countries. People were angry and afraid it would happen again.
I has a lot to do with merica. They teach holocaust as a subject in school. Teach their people that germany is only the ww2 time and recent. Nothing before, nothing between. This is the country that makes the worlds movies and series - so ofc the world wont remember 2k of history. But i do. GERMANIA ❤🎉
It starts with a statement which is wrong in two aspects and as there are only two it's completely wrong. 1. Germans in the sense of Germanic Tribes were not one people and Germans in the sense of the German nation are a people only for a bit more than 150 years. 2. The German language is not older than the English language. At least not the German language that is used today. English is in deed a Germanic language.
7:05 I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean? That German excelled in being mercenaries? The Romans used troops and officers from all over their imperium (for e.g. the occupation troops in today Bavaria consisted partly of Syrian archers, while they send Germanic mercenaries to campaigns in Northern Africa) and sometimes also from temporary allies (they used Hun troops commandeered by Attila to defeat the first Burgundian kingdom at the Rhine). In the 16th and 17th century German mercenaries competed with Swiss mercenaries for the best postings throughout Europe - but that was not driven by skills in the first place, but by poverty and lack of other options.
Catherine the Great was born as Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst in Stettin (in the province of Pomerania of the Electorate of Brandenburg in the German kingdom); her uncle Adolf Friedrich of Holstein-Gottorf became 1751 King of Sweden. She was married in 1744 to her cousin Peter, Duke of Holstein-Gottorf, nephew of Adolf Friedrich and heir to the Russian throne. She was therefore a German immigrant herself (and the dynasty of Tsars founded by her was not only of German descent, but refreshed their "German blood" regularly - Catherine's daughter-in-law was Sophie of Württemberg, her grandson Alexander I married Louise of Baden, her other grandson Nicholas I Charlotte of Prussia.) and invited other Germans to Russia. The German ancestry of US generals corresponds simply to the share of German ancestry in the general population of the US. There is no "German gene" and surely not an inborn military skill.
The Teutonic order had been defeated in Palestina, as the King of Poland asked for help against the pagan Prussians, so they started a new crusade there. They conquered the region, but had to accept Polish sovereignty - they were multiple times defeated by Polish and Lithuanian troops when they demanded autonomy, and defeated by Russian troops when they wanted to expand. In 1525 Grandmaster Albert of Ansbach (from the Franconian branch of House Hohenzollern) converted together with most of his knights to Lutheranism and was appointed Duke in Prussia by his uncle King Sigismund I of Poland. Because his son Albrecht Friedrich got mentally insane, his relative Georg Friedrich, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbuch was appointed in 1571 by king Stephan Bathory of Poland as legal guardian and regent; he was followed in 1603 by Joachim Friedrich, Prince-Elector of Brandenburg and in 1608 by Joachim's son Johann Sigismund, who married Albrecht Friedrich's daughter Anna. Prussia became independent only in 1658 by Swedish intervention.
I see some misconceptions here. There were no Germans in the ancient Roman Empire yet, but just a lot of different tribes, and the part of Bavaria under Roman control was still Celtic. There was a lot of migration over centuries and some of the Germanic tribes that arrived later didn't even stay to become Germans, but moved away like the Langobards or the Vandals.
The Teutonic Order was in fact the only big crusader order that has never been defeated in Palestina. They supported Emperor Friedrich II in his crusade, which was the only one that succeeded in taking Jerusalem by just negotiating and without actual fighting. The order didn't leave Palestina defeated, but only because of their disagreement and rivalry with the older big orders, the Hospitallers and particularly the Templars. They were also not fighting for Germany when they moved to Poland, but for the Church, Christianity and the Pope. That's why their relations with the catholic Poles were actually very good in the beginning and very bad only in the 15th century. The Poles and Lithuanians had one great victory at Tannenberg, but failed to take Marienberg and would also still lose ten thousands of troops against the order some battles later. There is no "German gene" providing superior military skills, of course. But it's not exactly a myth that German US immigrants were more likely than other people to either have military experience or to descend from families which had old military traditions, alone for the facts that Germans were involved in quite a lot of wars and for most of the time divided into many different states, which had their own armies, wars and battles, some of them already over a thousand years or more. There's a reason why Germany has ten times more castles than any other country in the world. The USA didn't even exist yet when German armies defeated the Magyars, the Seljuks, the Ottomans, almost every other country in Europe or just other German armies. Germans have helped to win Gettysburg and even Polish troops had one of their greatest victories when united with a German army, like at Vienna. It's by no means a history of just losers or mercenaries.
Much too long BST ……again new
But it's true, German mercenaries were the best. For example, Hessian mercenaries could keep fighting even after losing their heads. There is a famous documentary about this titled "The Decapitated Rider" or something
2:48 Yes, Germans, who were living outside of Germanys today boundaries, were mass-deported after WW2. Mass deported by force. They lost all of their lands, homes and possessions and became refugees. This is true for Germanys lost territories (Prussia and Schlesia, etc.) and East European lands, where German communities lived for centuries prior to WW2. In East Prussia, Russia also mass-deported / re-settled its own people by force, to fill the vacuum and take these now empty lands. It was a measure by the Soviets to make sure, that future Germans will never have a reason to ever take back these lands and to annex these territories themselves forever. It was an unhumane thing to do, but they didn't do this solely to Germans. A similar thing did not happen in the west of Germany though, only in the then Soviet controlled regions. Germans commited insane crimes on the east European people during WW2, so it was one of the prices Germans had to pay for this.
It's not all right. Yes, German Christian knights conquered Prussia, the people there were not full-fledged people in their eyes because they were not Christians. One day the rulers of Brandenburg wanted to become king. East Prussia was outside the German Empire, but was owned by the Brandenburg nobles. So their wish was granted. I am a Berliner and this is just one episode in the complicated German history. It is not without reason that only older regional history is usually taught in schools. As far as I know, things are similar in Saxony. The Saxons proper settled north and west of Hamburg in the north. But beyond that I don't know much. To this day there are many disrespectful stories about people who settle just a few miles away. But those were times when there were almost 3000 more or less independent territories and cities.

I grew up in an architectural unique building called "Schlange" (Schlangenbader Strasse) and you would be stunned every f*cking Second😂 only by this Building, but i know every other hot spot and as i wrote earlier, i would love to guide you (Earlier than10k, maybe 5k)

@@arnodobler1096 Not very likely since we Germans didn't exist then. Julius Cesar named Germania Germania not regarding if the people living there were Gemanic tribes or maybe Slavic ones. But feel free to look up how many Germanic tribes existed, where they lived and moved and part of which nations the became.
@@Skyl3t0n This is a very stupid and ignorant way of rewriting history. You don't seem to know what a people is and how it comes into being. Foundation is always shared culture and experiences like wars or revolutions. No one of those existed before Napoleon Bonaparte defeated all the states in the Holy Roman Empire. Can you name one single try to create a German naition before? Name a single event of which most of the dominions participated together. On the other hand you'll find many where the named fought against each other - and you really think that made them one people?
1:15 Language older than English, French, .. and so on? That is a very questionable interpretation. English and German are both Germanic languages, but that does not necessarily mean one is "older" than the other. Olde English and Old (Low) German speakers would have understood each other very well compared to modern English and modern German, but the difference between early English and modern English is only a little higher than that between early medieval High German and modern Standard German. As for Italian, Spanish and French: Those are Latin-derived, with different levels of Germanic, Celtic and Arabic influences depending on region. Latin however existed before the Germanic languages split up in Low Franconian (Dutch), Low German (old Saxon), old English and the other subgroups.
is there a reason why the speaker of that video is butchering the words so much? saitang? please, the word starts with a z and it ends with ung.
and which schools are you talking about? are you really telling me that we here in austria never heard of the pre WW2 history of germany? because you explain it like it is nowhere taught outside of germany. nowhere, never ever, maybe in german schools.
1:23 "...Thousands of years as a people" Thats just wrong. There where no german people up until modern times. There were just many different mostly germanic peoples (Alemans, Angles, Saxons, Teoutons, Swabians, Jutes, Slavs, ...)
Nations always start off as a fiction, especially germany 😉
This applies to all countries
I am German and i'm sure that Thomas Sowell is a good man, but he is not a historian and even more important he is not German.
The "Facts" in this video are not taught in school because they are everything but facts.
1. Our language is NOT centuries older than all the other languages. Imagine that a German, a French, a Britisch and a Spanish would enter a time machine and travel like 1000 years back in time. The French, The British and the Spanish guy would be able to speak to their people, it wouldn't be easy for them, but they would understand each other more or less. And the German guy? He wouldn't understand one fucking word, not a chance to talk with the Germans from 1000 years ago, because the language from back then and the modern German are like two different languages. What Thomas Sowell knows as "the German language" is like 400 years old.
2. Germany as a country exists since 1871, means we didn't manage to form a united country in over 1871 years, every other civilization on Planet Earth managed to do that way before us, even the Americans managed to form a united country before us.
3. So Germans could brew beer in roman times. Thomas Sowell says that like its something special, while in reality its not. The Germans learned how to brew beer from the Romans and they learned that from the Egyptians, because the Egyptians knew how to brew beer more than 2000 years before the Germans even heard the name of this drink.
I could continue this list and correct these "facts" over and over again. The reason why these facts are not taught in school is because they are 10% truth mixed with 90% nonsense.
I have a advice for Thomas Sowell: "Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal die Fresse halten" which roughly translates to "If you don't have a clue what you are talking about, then you better shut the fuck up".
"Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal die Fresse halten" . Diesen niveaulosen Ratschlag kann ich nur zurückgeben mit Deinem unreflektierten Schulbuchwissen.
@@joachimniebling5034 ah, Schulbuchwissen. Das du diesen Begriff verwendest lässt in mir den Verdacht aufkommen das du dein Wissen aus "alternativen" Quellen beziehst (kann natürlich sein das ich das falsch verstanden habe, in dem Fall bitte ich um Entschuldigung). Da du ja scheinbar über ein größeres Wissen verfügst wäre es doch richtig nett wenn du mir sagst wo ich denn falsch lag, damit ich diesen Fehler nicht wiederhole.
@@BerndFunken Ich diskutiere nicht mit Leuten, die aggressiv ihre Meinung vertreten, weil sie, wie sagt man so schön heute, der "Wissenschaft" folgen, die immer im Einklang mit dem gegenwärtigen bundesrepublikanischen Schulbuchwissen stehen. Ich bin 70 Jahre alt, Jurist und habe neben Englisch, Latein, Französisch und Russisch auch etwas Spanisch, Italienisch und Afrikaans gelernt und bediene mich bei Informationen, auch Historischen, dieser Sprachquellen. Gerade in Geschichte habe ich oftmals gravierende "offizielle" Änderungen erlebt, um zu glauben, alles was die deutschen Schulbehörden mir als historische Wahrheit vorsetzen zu glauben. Ich könnte dies näher an Beispielen erläutern, halte das aber für zwecklos. Ich halte die Beiträge Thomas Sowells durchaus für seriöse , beachtenswerte Quellen.
Some of your "facts" in point 1) and 2) are a little too sweeping and therefore wonky.
1) Having studied Medieval Sciences a few decades ago, I can assure you that there ratio of blank faces in the ME and MHD reading course among the native speakers of each language was evenly distributed. In both languages some things were easy to read/figure out while others required massive help by the professor. Saying that English people would be able to hold (a very basic) conversation with their ancestors from 1,000 years ago, whereas the Germans simply wouldn't be able to talk to their ancestors is nonsense. Sorry!
2) Have a look at Italy -which, no doubt, has a rock-solid track record with regards to culture. It became a country a measly 10 years before Germany. Not all that much. And there are quite a few, now well-established countries, which were 'born' only in the 19th century. So yeah, the facts from the original video are meh, but point 2 lacks context.
I'm German too, 70 years old. I can easily understand medieval Middle High German, spoken 700 hundred years ago. But you're right it's hard to understand Old High German , but believe me a German has fewer problens to read a Old English text from before 1066 than a Brit of today. And the French have also the same difficulties difficulties to read a medieval French textas the Germans have with Old High German. And there was a a "First reich" a thousand years ago. It was British and American propaganda during WW I to say Germany didn't exist before 1871. The first Reich was called "Holy Roman Empire of German Nation". And before that there was the "East Franconian Reich"after the split upof Charlemagnes empire. The first time the word "deutsch" was mentioned in a written document was in the 8th century about 760 a.D. Although the Germans were members of different tribes at that time they felt, they belonged to one nation . I know nowadays these facts are not taught in German schools for poltical reasons.
In Deutschland (Germany), every schoolchild learns that Germanen (Germanic tribes) are not the same as Deutsche (Germans). And later also that Deutscher (German) does not automatically mean deutscher Staatsbürger (German citizen).
The confusion actually only arises in the English language.
Admittedly, there are right-wing idiots who still believe the Third Reich propaganda that Deutsche are Germanen.
If anything, it would be the Danes.
Sag mal alter, hast du im Geschichtsunterricht geschlafen?
@@raistraw8629 habe ich unrecht?
Wo sind Angelsachsen Deutsche?
Oder Goten, Vandalen oder Langobarden?
Oder Dänen, Schweden, Norweger und Isländer? Sind das Deutsche? Nein.
@@danielmcbriel1192
Niemand behauptet, dass die Völker und Nationen, auf die du dich beziehst, deutsch sind. Das hab ich in noch nie gehört.
Was gesagt wird, ist, dass die heutigen Deutschen hauptsächlich von Germanen abstammen.
@@danielmcbriel1192 Goten, Vandalen oder Langobarden waren tatsächlich Deutsche, oder zumindest ein Teil davon. Es kommt aber immer darauf an was man damit gerade meint. Alle lebten zeitweise im Gebiet des heutigen Deutschlands und zählten zur historischen Bevölkerung, waren also "deutsch"/"thiutisk" im ursprünglichen Sinn von "zum Volk gehörig". Ein Teil davon blieb zudem hier und ging in Stämmen auf die auch hier blieben oder Ursprung heutiger Bundesländer wurden, wie u.a. in den Bayern und Alemannen.
@@reinercelsus8299 Deutsche sind nicht Typen, die mal hier wohnten. Dann wären auch Hunnen, Kelten und Magyaren Deutsche.
"Deutsch ist wer deutsch spricht" war vor 1871 die Devise.
Also nur die Stämme, bzw. im Fall der Franken und Festland Sachsen Teile der Stämme, die die zweite Lautverschiebung von den germanischen Sprachen zu den deutschen Sprachen mitgemacht haben.
Später auch die Slawen im heutigen Bundesland Sachsen, bzw. die Balten in Ostpreußen, die freiwillig oder mit Gewalt eingedeutscht wurden.
Zum Beispiel hatte das hl.röm.Reich nie die militärische und politische Macht, um die halbautonomen Reichsteile wie Böhmen und Burgund einzudeutschen.
We Germans do not identify ourselves with Germany, but with the region within Germany from which we come. I am German, but first and foremost I am Westphalian.
Yeah. I formally live in Germany but in practice I mostly identify with my bedroom on weekends.
