Being so rich and philanthropic that you singlehandedly inflated a nation's economy is probably one of the top 5 flexes in history.
And then buy it back when you realized you ruined them over.
Absolute power move.
he wasnt actually that rich, as the value of gold is based on its demand and scarcity, though. Guy happens to have a ton of gold, pisses his wealth away to show everyone how much money he has, doesnt develop an economic plan, people still live in utter poverty by the time his reign ends. What a joke.
What are the other 4?

2) Scipio meeting Hannibal years later after the punic wars as a mercenary leader and telling to Hannibal personally that he was so so as a general.
3) Gagarin being the first man being sent to space despite the country being a backwards rural disaster just 30 years prior.
4) The Americans parking state of the art battleships outside of Tokyo's harbour and getting the country to open.
5) Saladin having assasins just drop some sweets into Frederick the second's apartment so that he would know that anywhere he was he would not be safe from Saladin's agents.
@@darius9329 lmao no
To be fair, he did not cause inflation intentionally.
And when he found out about what his frivolous philanthropy had caused, he borrowed very high loans from the Egytians at 100% intetest rate, and paid it back immediately.
This makes Mansa Musa the only person to have both caused a gold crash through hyperinflation, and then bailed out those affected.

African history indeed interesting. But it's not that many.
Why? Because the region so arid. It's so arid even some religions also talk about that. Only like.. The middle part of Africa that green. Tropical Africa region.
Edit: why i bring "religions"?? That means, even thousands of years ago, people already know that many parts of Africa are not that great. But it's interesting though even though only few Megastructures or stuff like that.
Like.. the mystery of the Zimbabwe stone thing that i forgot the name of that site.
Or the story of the eastern coast of Africa. Swahili region.
And more.

No it's because most Africa societies didn't focus on mass literacy and becoming writings civilisations so they don't have much of there own history documented since most of the history of Africa is made up of accounts made by outsiders and thr very few societies that had a writings tradition as opposed to an oral tradition.

Interesting, wonder if things had gone differently, maybe an African empire would’ve been the first to colonize the Americas?
@@ousarlxsfjsbvbg8588 maybe but then again Mali in the 14th century didn't have the technological advancements that 16th century europe had over the native americans. Might have organised some kind of primitive/early trade routes as Mali was an economic giant for its time and place but i don't think that they would manage to have the same influence over the americas as europeans ended up having.

Sub-Saharan Africa isn't synonymous with the term "African," and it's important to move away from using outdated terms that only reflect a narrow perspective.
Simply labeling people by their country or region is insufficient.
We're witnessing a shift where we recognize the complexities of identities. For instance, when Arab settlers come into Africa and appropriate land, renaming it the Middle East, it perpetuates a history of erasure and colonization.

Always a schism with the King’s heirs
Having effective rules of succession is probably one of the most important (and underrated) parts of maintaining a successful empire/Kingdom
problem with monarchy is that while the start rulers are generally wise, and rule just, but their spoiled children often aren't, so you always end up with a chad king / emperor creating a golden age only for their fuckboy kids to ruin everything.
Biggest reasons why monarchies suck hard compared to literally any type of republic is this exact reason.
If the Roman Republic wasn't replaced with a imperial monarchy with hefty succession laws, Rome may as well have survived into the modern era.
@@riverman6462 The republic's problems were the reason it turned into an empire in the first place

All the kingdoms and empires in Guinea, around Kongo, the Ethiopian highlands (other than Ethiopia), and the African Great Lakes are even more underappreciated than Mali or Songhai, and while everyone’s so preoccupied with Egypt those are the actual places where most were taken from.
W. E. B. du Bois and others wrote that American blacks were connected to Ethiopia and Nubia despite those places being on the wrong side of Africa. It's like if Portuguese people in Australia claimed they had Finnish roots because both Finland and Portugal are on the same continent.

African history is so interesting. I wish there was more focus on it
there is not much to say about. Check the development of africa. Check how some tribes still live today. They mostly destroyed itself again after development - the greatest achievements in africa happened in Northafrica where you had trade giants like Carthage, Egypt and the fertile Nile. And there is a big focus already about it, because Carthage was one of the biggest enemies of the Roman Empire so one of the biggest Empire of its time actually. And Egypt well ofc one of the most important early empires in the world

More like World History.
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

Das right
You should do Byzantine history
- Alexios Chadnenos rules over a massive Empire
- He improves the military, and writes a handbook to help commanders in war
- He reconquers lands lost during the reigns of Virginiatus and Coomos
- Starts a golden age in his Empire
- Invests in the construction of buildings which will go on to define the Empire
- Dies
- His son Okinatus takes over. He is alright.
- Mainly keeps the status quo and tries to rule over the Empire his father made
- Gets assassinated by aristocrats who dislike him
- Virginiatus II takes the throne
- Disbands most of the military and wastes the Empire’s money on parties and other frivolous things
- Doesn’t care about ruling, just wants to have a good time
- Muslims invade from the east, taking half of the empire
- The Empire is on it’s last legs
- General Belichadius starts a rebellion, and overthrows the unpopular Emperor
- Belichadius beats back the invaders, reconquering the lands lost during the reign of the last Emperor
- Repeat
There is so many times Byzantium recovered from the brink of collapse, very underrated nation
It’s been done before plenty of times. African history needs to be explored more
@@wejuggernautentertainmentl3156 Nah. Byzantine history is more influential on the world.

Medieval English history be like:
> King Jeffrey III "The Chadheart" rules from Northern France
> Never steps foot in England his whole reign, thinks the English language is for sheep shaggers and exclusively speaks French
> Basically just uses England as an endless supply of longbowmen and money so he can spend all his time raiding the French countryside
> Tries to make the King of France his bitch, somehow fails
> People still love him because Medieval English nobles literally only know how to do war and nothing else
> Dies after pricking his finger on a thorn and getting a horrible infection where his flesh slowly rotted to death
> His heir King Geoffrey "Soysword" succeeds him
> England is broke so he raises taxes
> 20 billion revolts erupt everywhere
> Forced to concede power to lesser nobles, unable to wage wars in France and loses French territory
> Everybody hates him
> Dies after shitting himself too hard
> His third son King Jeffory II "Longchads" succeeds him after his two older brothers mysteriously die in a "hunting accident"
> Begins picking fights with France again, all the nobles love him
> Conquers 99% of France and almost makes the King of France his bitch
> Repeat
>Gets shanked by an illiterate shepherd girl with schizophrenia
>Loses all his gains in France
>Repeat

SO THIS GUY WAS THE REAL MR.BEAST
In America, our world history class mostly meant just studying Greco/Roman/European history...you know...our direct ancestors. I have no recollection of learning African history but I would have loved to if it was really like this.
Dude, I don't know how to tell you this, but no european power was a legitimate successor to the roman republic/empire; the mediterranean powers of antiquity are not "our direct ancestors." Claiming to be "the successor to the glory of Rome" has historically been a cheap bid by rising nations in an attempt to claim legitimacy, especially where there would be none otherwise.
@@Caseyuptobat no offense dude, but youre putting words in my mouth. I never said that Europe was a successor to the Roman empire, only that they get clumped together in alot of high school world history lessons.
It is like this
I'm studying in an American online high school and I have to say we did learn about African history. I think it depends on the school
Brazilian History be like:
- Leader Giga de Chadeo rules Brazil well and effectively
- His administration brings education, economic development and prestige to the country and is beloved by the commoners
- His successor although competent and popular with the people fails to get the military on his side
- He gets couped by the military led by General Soyo de Wizardio who then becomes the “provisional leader”
- The new government promises elections and that the people would be able to choose the new leader
- The military looses the election and gets pissed leading to a total takeover of the country turning it into a dictatorship
- The economy at first does great due to the efforts of the last administration and they get really popular
- The economy eventually disintegrates in a sea of corruption and inflation leading to deep resentment and unrest
- The military eventually has to step down and new free and fair elections are held
- The new candidates are all people who fought the military regime but turns out to be just as corrupt and incompetent
- The country spirals into debt and inflation leading to economic downturn
- Candidate Sigma de Maleni wins the election

- end up losing the war
- allies develop something like it but better after the war.
Panzerkampfwagen go brrrrr
Built cost effective weapons like Me-109, Sturmgeschütz, MG 42, StG 44 and Panzerfaust, in large quantities, that allow the third Reich to fight all the world, and only louse slowly. Get remember for a few "überwepons" that was made in small quantities like the Schwerer Gustav and Mause.

Dude, imagine if they made a game of thrones style show about pre colonial africa. It'd be a MASTERPIECE
For real! That would be a much better way to be inclusive instead of turning white super heroes into black super heroes or randomly placing black people into Lord of the Rings.
watch them put hip hop in the show and make some characters behave like theyre from the USA
idk about that
I don't think they would because it would presumably open a lot of eyes to the fact that the West African kings were a massive driving force in the slave trade
Doesn't fit the hollywood agenda of the day
It’s a history lecture with imagery , music and memes. I don’t expect this at a lecture hall because this took time and effort to make something that is associated as boring to something beautiful. I enjoyed the whole video

@@shehzadadarashikoh9463 i assuned they meant that there are slaves in general since slavery still happens today
Slavery was not the same as we know it today in most of Africa. It was a sweet gig and left you with wealth and options, most times a trade. Kings and royalty were sometimes even considered slaves and enjoyed luxury but could not leave their office, ever. The slavery we know about was not that prevalent or considered honorable. In other areas of the world we know exactly what slavery was about. You gotta look this stuff up, instead of asking the same queries other's ask, without studying.
