- In the College Board Course Exam and Description... This thing:
apcentral.collegeboard.org/me...
They tell your teachers what to teach. There are a bunch of names that could be helpful. BUT ONLY 9 ARE EXPLICITLY REQUIRED by the College Board. This short runs you through the BIG NINE.
I like how Hitler gets a whole unit just for being Hitler.
And I bet they hardly mention the hero who sacrificed his life to kill Hitler.
@@brassmuleTrue, they deserve a statue made of gold, and they didn't even get a "thank you"
@@brassmuleI wish i was the man who killed hitler
@@brassmulewe should build a statue of that guy
@@brassmule He killed himself.
I would also recommend knowing Genghis Khan and the Mongols!
Yeah where Temujin at
I recommend Jesus 🙏
Particularly his teachings on Life and Creation in our 3D reality which is dependent upon balance and the reasons why its wise for humanity to seek The Center in all things.
Id also add onto that Origin of Mankind and How Melanin works factually and genetically. Newtons 3rd law and Dimensions explained by Carl Sagan.
Lastly Id show a video by Michael Ramsden called Where in The Bible Does Jesus Say He is God which is telling description about everything relative in life.
@juangringo3906 bro I support religion but no
We learn nothing from him, stop idolizing coz asians said so😂
@@juangringo3906I believe it is John 10:30 where he says that he is god
I would of guessed Napoleon cause he cause like every conflict after 1815
NAH. HES TOO AP EURO. BUT CERTAINLY HES A BIG DEAL.
No, Ap world history doesn't actually want you to know real world history
@@dubscheckum8246lmao MLK and Gandhi over Ceasar and Alexandar the Great, George Washington or any other great man bc they were „non-violent“ (look up how many people died when India gained it‘s independence)
@@axcel9128 where was Gandhi in the Gulag?

If there should be a list of the “12 truly maot influential architects of world history”, it should be, in no particular order, the following…
1. Julius Caeser
2. Genghis Khan
3. Alexander the Great
4. Napoleon Bonaparte
5. Prophet Muhammad
6. Karl Marx
7. Adolf Hitler
8. Caeser Augustus
9. Adam Smith
10. Jesus Christ
11. Confucius
12. Plato
Honestly it was hard to pin down a ‘fair 12’ to go by, and if we were being *truly fair*, the list should contain likely 36 people overall.
But the list I gave, at the very least, is far more expansive to the true ‘shapers’ of world history. Each one having affected the world for countless millenia after their death, or completely warping the modern world theough their actions or philosophy (such as Marx or Hitler).
Our education system needs help if thats the top 9 for world history
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I wouldn’t call it the education system (although that does need fixed) but In this case it’s College Board, who created, manages, and runs the AP tests that needs fixed
Let's see your history lesson.
No Charlemagne, noone from the ancient era, no english kings, no Napoleon, fucking NAPOLEON, no Charles the V/I
The list goes on
@@adamrozsa9923I know everyone loves napoleon. But aside from creating a small middle European empire before being quashed and exiled twice, I wouldn't say he's done enough to be as big of a deal as people make him out to be.
Thank you Mr. Freeman! Going through your website and your "80 days around the AP World" review right now. Thank you so much for your commitment to helping us get a 5!
HELP? NAH. ITS ALL YOU. I JUST MAKE DUMB HISTORY JOKES NEAR BOOKCASES.
@@Freeman_pedia based
This is the first video I saw of this guy so I didn't look at his name and thought you were making a half life reference 😭
Neslon Mandela definitely isn't a good example of non-violence
Nelson Mandela preached non-violence. What are you talking about?
@@keinerrodriguez5773Didn't practice what He preached
@@XxInuyashadowxXDo as I say not as I do
Neither are the other two
It's all about image though
@@keinerrodriguez5773 the anthem of the political party he leaded literally had lyrics about "killing the whites"
AP history: basically just the past 100 years.
It kind of makes sense. The past few centuries have changed the world more than the billions of years prior to that. If we're teaching kids how we arrived at the modern world today, then this is prob the right way to teach them
@@justamustachewithoutaguy9370to add to this, there was only one person from before modern history started (late 15th century), and several more were from several centuries ago still. Though, I can see why some names from the last hundred years are here. We're still living through their legacy.
@@justamustachewithoutaguy9370"billionsof years" how many billions?
@@justamustachewithoutaguy9370If you think we can teach the foundation of todays (Western at least) society without teaching ancient Greece, Roman or Arabic cultures, then your educational system was fucked all along...
Guess you're not doing so well in math class either, huh
Nelson Mandela was no nonviolent.
He became a proponent of non-violent political movements during his time in prison though didn’t he ?
@@brandontaylor8318 He was in prison for founding the paramilitary wing of the African National Congress which was quickly classed as an illegitimate and terrorist organisation. A lot of brutal attacks were also carried out in his name, although it's unclear how much involvement in this he had
Yeah I hate when modern history tells lies just because it’s too confusing to tell people someone can fight Aparteid but also do some bad things.
@@generalsaurkraut3227fr. Like nobody is a saint.
Same as MLK. These guys werent pacifist pushovers they were freedom fighters emphasis on FIGHTERS. Cities got burned down in the name of equal rights back in the day. They want us to think nonviolence is the only way, so they can discredit modern civil disobediance
Surprised Napoleon isn't here.
They got to make room for colored people
He had no real impact on the course of history. Like Alexander the Great. But the others had a huge one. Although it was the chinese emperor who decided to burn the fleet and thus changing history or should I say left the world to the europeans to explore and conquer. And Kolumbus, without money from the spanish or portugiese crown never would have discovered america. And Hitler wouldnt had been chancellor without the donations from rich americans. And you even can go a bit deeper. Back to the treaty of Versailles. They knew that this treaty would be the reason for a next war. So do we have to include this liar Wilson? Without his lie the germans wouldnt have left the front. There is a reason why the period from ww1 to ww2 is called the second 30 year war. So, only nine names dont cover it up. You have to know a little bit more.
And therfore I would cut out Mandela and King. They had a huge impact on their society. But not on world history. And there are surely some important people missing like Jesus. And I am an atheist btw
I think he is in Ap euro
@@puzanfish7705then why is Hitler on the list? Shut up, liar
“civil rights” leaders are clearly more important than the greatest military mind with an era of history named after him
Mandela for “non”-violence..?
MLK too lol, Nelson was by definition a terrorist and MLK and the civil rights movement wasn’t at all “peaceful”
The recooperated version of him is.
And Ghandi for that matter
When was he violent?
@@humanbean8699he established a para military org which was deemed a terrorist org.
They fought the apatide, a good cause, but still violent.
He became non violent during his prison sentence.
(Im going off my memory here, so I suggest you do research, I might be wrong)
7,8,&9. When you skipped history to write a history course. Big Ed at it’s best.
It’s really cool to hear about how my AP history curriculum was supposed to go. I went to a private Christian school and was taught AP World by a lost cause revisionist, so needless to say although I got a 4 on the exam, I didn’t exactly learn anything in his class. I still love history, though, and I’m learning more every day to make up for it
how much revisionism was there?
Many thanks from Tavernia’s students. Thank you for the reviews
SHOUT OUT TAVERNIA…HOPE ALL YOUR STUDENTS ARE AS STELLAR AS STAR.
TEMUJINN? 😭
no one in the west cares one shit about what happens in eastern Europe and Asia
twmujib is before 1500
LoL everytime i heard Temujin, suddenly i remember the characters name from Naruto series.
Me, 2 years into my engineering degree having never taken AP world: “oh I gotta watch this”
Nelson Mandela was extremely violent. Why do you think he was in prison? It wasn't racism. It was because he was an official in a terrorist group that killed a lot of people.
1. Admiral Zheng He
2. Christopher Columbus
3. Simon Bolivar
4. Adam Smith
5. Karl Marx
6. Hitler
7. Gandhi
8. MLK
9. Mandela
There, saved you 30 seconds
Shit list, no caesar, no ghengis Khan, no napoleon hell I'd argue Maxim should be on the list for his machine gun
MLK shouldn’t be on this list
@@user-gu7yo5yn9ggenhis khan probably should be on here considering he had an entire unit in the ap world textbook but napoleon ain’t that relevant
@@user-gu7yo5yn9gAp world only covers history from 1200-present 😢
@@The_king567 why
This is super helpful Mr. Freeman! Little pronunciation thing with Zheng He for the future. In Chinese, ‘Zh’ makes a ‘J’ sound, and ‘e’ makes an ‘uh’ sound. With this, his name is actually pronounced “Jung Huh”. Weird, I know. 😅
YEAH. IVE TRIED THE OTHER WAY AND THEN KIDS DONT ASSOCIATE IT WITH HIM WHEN THEY READ IT?SO MY BAD PRONUNCIATION IS SERVING A PURPOSE HERE. NORMALLY, ITS JUST ME BEING AN IDIOT.
I get the Zh part but the "e" making "uh"? That dont make no sense. At least use a "u", why "e"?
@@AlboonS-zy7su In Chinese, ‘u’ makes an “ooo” sound, like when you say “rules,” it’s pronounced “rools”
@@AlboonS-zy7su in all honesty, look at it like this: Chinese isn’t supposed to use English lettering. So when we turn typical Chinese words into letters, we correlate to the best of our understanding.
To sum it up in one take, the English vowels go “a, e, i, o, u”.
In Chinese, in this order, we pronounce each as “ah, uh, ee, oh, oo”
Yes, it may be strange to English speakers, but consider that Chinese is not an English-based language. This use of letters is just way the Chinese see these letters.
@@AlboonS-zy7su so ur saying u would pronounce “hu” as “huh?” to me e makes the most sense tbh
Am taking AP world this year (I’m a history nerd so ik most of the topics) but it’s still cool to hear these facts to help me along the way!
I just took it! Good luck to everyone in the US.
Nelson Mandela a "non-violence political change" person? Yeah... That's why you ahould make lists of what people you should know and not what is just required. If all of us are just skipping the rest then history will just repeat itself.
Did they change the course in the past 5 years? I took AP world and some of these were never brought up
The Jamaica Letter sure as hell was never mentioned on any exam and I got a 5 😅
Yeah I took this over a decade ago and almost none of these figures were on the test.
Man, I slept thru my A.P. world class, and still got a 4. Literally, it was covid year, and I had world hist for my first period. I failed that class first semester and still passed that test.
I wouldn’t think of putting the fathers of the 2 major economic systems in, but now that I’ve seen it it makes a lot of sense
Nelson Mandela was far away from a peaceful protester😂
not once was it stated mandela was a peaceful protestor. it was said for bringing political change through nonviolence, which yes, mandela qualifies for as he only brought about change while in prison and while advocating for peaceful resistance.
Genghis Kahn was the most fun, also he was my final presentation. Truly the goat.
Dude! You may have just saved my students a lot of time and effort. Thank you!!!!
Pro gamer tip. Skip the AP scam and go straight for the actual college credits.
I wouldn't say A.P. is a scam. Yes college credits are useful, but you can just get those from the A.P. Test, and A.P. classes look very good on a application.
Passing one A.P. class a year during highschool will increase your chances of getting into college exponentially, especially since you dont have to tell them if you passed the test or not.
And there is no college that doesn't like A.P. on an application, while credits might not alwayse be transferable. (Eg: You go to a California high school, and you get into MIT, wich does happen).
So in my opinion A.P. classes are more useful because I would rather have a better chance at getting into the college I want than having credits that I might not be able to use. On top of the fact that I can just do both and have guaranteed credits from the class that stack with the A.P. test, and a good looking application.
@@Kn33Capper if you say so personally just decided to go for the dual credit/ dual enrollment classes so you’re just taking college classes in high school knocks out some of those annoying core classes and if you play your cards right you can even finish high school early. And in my experience taking college classes in high school and finishing early looks darn good on applications or at least my college thought so. Your mileage may vary.
@@JackedhobbitUniversity student here. How do you take college classes in high school? Is this a US-specific thing?
@@srirampatnaik9164 More than likely US specific and likely not in every state. First you have what they call dual credit a local college puts out a class that is taught at the local high school but it’s to the standard that it counts as a college credit. Typically it’s you college algebra or lower level college writing classes. The other method is dual enrollment which is where you take a placement test if you do well enough you can start taking classes at the junior college while still in high school.
I’d also add Gheghis Khan, Martin Luther, and Justin I. Hammurabi could also go in there because I remember always getting a question about him and his code.
Yeah, Hammurabi is a big deal
@@baxakk7374not for what hes know for yes he usered in the old babalyonain empire and greatly reduced elamite meadlying in the region but his code of laws is not the first ur nammu created tge first code of laws
Wasn’t Hammurabi from ancient world history, not the modern period the example focused on now?
If you can pass a world history course by knowing only nine people, I’d like to suggest there’s something fundamentally wrong with the curriculum.
Zheng hee? Bro is not Michael Jackson! “Nah we don’t have Zheng He we have Zheng HEEHEE”
Never searched about anything AP world related in my life. Exam is next week. RUclips made the right call for once. Thanks RUclips!
I feel like Suleiman the magnificent should be on the edge of this list
HES A BIG DEAL! MY SITE HAS AROUND 200 PEOPLE YOU SHOULD KNOW. HES ON THAT LIST. BUT THE COLLEGE BOARD IS LESS INTERESTED IN PEOPLE.
Oh, why is that?
@@Freeman_pedia Let me guess, they're more interested in "systemic racism" right? You people aren't teachers anymore, you're religious activists indoctrinating people's kids with "The Message."
I was thinking the same 🫡
I feel like Jesus of Nazareth should really be on there😅.
Yoooooo. Gotta love randomly scrolling and stumbling across my old teacher!
THE ALGORITHM IS WORKING!!!!
Yeah my teacher just copy pasted that entire list of people to know as our assignments for class & homework if we didn't finish.
Worked fairly well, but she made us do all of them for the unit at once and write 5 facts (full sentences) about each of them. Drilled it into my brain and I like history, but I hate DBQ's and generally writing parts of tests, so I managed to get a 3. Maybe it would've helped if we went over DBQ's and other writing formats more..
ur saving my life
"Using no violence" lmao
To be an effective speaker, sometimes you gotta use the only language some people understand.
@@lietz13rapping someone with a car tire setting them on Fire doesn't translate to anything in any language I can find😂
@@Indiana_Jesusthey could fill a library with what you can't find. in fact they do, they call them libraries.
MLK shouldn’t be on this list
I took the AP world exam last year, and I dont think I had to know any of these people. still got a perfect score tho lol
The Charlie Murphy “wrong” is what i do in my head everytime i hear something incorrect 😂
Mandella had many people killed and imprisoned he was not nonviolent...
They always tend to embellish his actions after the fact
Thanks for cheapening the concept of education.
Great video, thank you very much ,
bruh we have 3 days until the exam and my teacher hasn't even mentioned like 4 of those guys
rip me
YOU GOT TIME.
Ma guy Adolf being there just for being himself. What a legend.
😂
Interesting to see how AP World has changed in the years since I took it. Seems way more contemporary focused, Mandela wasnt even mentioned in my textbook or exam. I dont even think (comparatively) much of the exam pulled from anything after 1900 with the Spanish Flu for the DBQ as the most current it really got, so half of those people were irrelevant
Nelson Mandela non-violently blowing up a school bus:
That's a lot of Europeans for "world" history.
Probably cause they did way more than any other group of people around the world.
@@lestervarela3332that is what you were taught to belive
This idiot put Zheng He on this list. Zheng Is literally a footnote in history. Nothing came of those voyages, besides being another excuse to close China off, which they were already doing.
You know who should be on that list. Xi HuangDi. ALL OF EAST ASIAN CULTURE, hinges on him.
@@yakub42 we can talk about this on an African social media video sharing platform in an African language, but you're using a European American social media network speaking a European language sooooo
@@Cyborg_Lenin no it's what's objectively correct
I remember AP World. It kind of changed me. I don't regret taking it as a kid.
Thank you because I’m taking ap world this upcoming school year
Gandhi and nonviolence XD
Gandhi wanted the Jews to give themselves up to be killed in ww2
Nelson Mandela as well. I dont think tire necklaces are non-violent.
Mlk stole everything
Just took to exam, don’t think I’m allowed to spill whatever was in it
The way to think about it is those 9 are what gets you a passing grade if structured well enough with good enough knowledge. Incoperating other people relevant into your knowledge alongside these people is what gets you grades beyond that
Thanks man I got a 5 in World and Euro
Mlk used alot of violence in his private life
MLK shouldn’t be on this list and Nelson wasn’t always non violent
Thats really interesting was the AP world history courses dramatically changed in the past 10-12 years? When I took it we had figures going back to like 5000 BC and really didn't have much information past 1900. It also placed very little information in europe and focused much more on other parts of the world and only really brought up european powers if it related to others. I think this was because there was already an ap European history class. With APUS it did get to the 20th century but basically stopped around nixon.
None of these people were on the exam, thanks
akbar the great....
You take the world test?
@@bamescourt868 ye
Love that you don't have to know a single woman
I was not expecting Nelson Mandela to end up on the list that’s wild… but some of those other people are also strangely usually footnoted
You missed a single most important person
"Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose".
Imagine Ghandi wasn't assassinated? I believe he would have went on to unite Africa and it would have been a world power. It was probs the British, they paid a Hindu to take Ghandi out right before they left!
No, Gandhi was pretty racist against blacks, so unlikely
ah yes ghandi well know for his love for black people
@@MassiveChoad-vr5gyhe’s better than mlk
@@MassiveChoad-vr5gy🤣
1. Massive racist (hated black people - at least in his younger years).
2. Complete se*ual deviant.
3. Told the Hindus of the subcontinent that it was their duty to allow the Muslims of the subcontinent to k*ll them if they so desired, in order to maintain peace.
I’m surprised Zheng He is on there considering that in the end he didn’t do jackshit. He’s only notable out of the possibility of his expedition that never went through. I’ve only seen historians mention him in that context. i mean thats a bit like calling Chamberlain the most notable person for ‘possibly’ singlehandedly stopping WW2, its a stupid analogy but you get my point, they cancelled the expedition.
We don’t learn about them in school in Australia
CHARLIE MURPHY!
I like your informative bideos. Keep it up. 👍
Love the Charlie Murphy “wrong, wrong”:)
I knew like half of these people and got a 4. Don’t stress about it
Admiral Zheng He is criminally underrated as a historical figure. If the Ming dynasty had continued to support his exploration efforts of the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, China would’ve started expanding their influence before Europeans started their exploration and colonization efforts. Imagine what the world would be like if European states had to contend with a well established Ming colonial empire, history would’ve turned out a lot differently
I can think of two of them, your teacher and the smart kid in your class ; and I would probably also add the best language arts teacher you have in your school as a third.
North American education is speaking volumes here.
Very few of these people had a bearing on “world history”
I would also recommend the Infante D.Henrique, the Portuguese navigator which just you know... kickstarted an entire fucking era which changed the entire world history and path.
Explains so much about US Education
dont learn the subject, learn the answers to the test! great advice....
I like that zheng he is randomly there. The others are all early modern on lol
@@thecommonloon Columbus was born 20 years after zheng he died. But I take the point. Thematically though, zheng is the oddman out as the historiography seems focused on the western conception of "the modern world" and zheng is somewhat random in that narrative.
can you imagine how big of a chad you have to be if "he" is your name? HE WAS HIM
Surprised me how all over the place this list is. In the Netherlands for your last history exam you need to know everything taught from the years 1815 to now and a random historical topic with context that changes every year ( like german unification, dutch colonial history, Qing china etc.)
its the same thing in the US with AP world too, but the course starts from 1200
Acces point history let’s go, need to know you abg from your n and especially your ax from your ac
Non violence didn’t bring change so cool glad u learned something
I knew he who must not be named will make it to the list
Julius Caesar! For July!
MLK wasn't "nonviolent", he recognized violence was the last option to enact change.
you must’ve misunderstood what he meant
@@depressedmidlifecrisistimm3043 nope
He stole non violents From Gandhi he shouldn’t be on this list
@@depressedmidlifecrisistimm3043he stole everything
Interestingly, Gandhi and MLK and other proponents of non-violence, were inspired by one guy who didn’t want to pay taxes. Henry David Thoreau was opposed to the Mexican-American War so refused to pay taxes to support the government. He was arrested and wrote, “Civil Disobedience,” originally titled, “Resistance to Civil Government.” He said he planned on not paying the balance of bail, but one of his family members did it for him. In Civil Disobedience he writes that it is morally better to break an unjust law than to follow one. Really great essay, highly recommend it.
Non violence and Nelson Mandela don’t go together at all… it’s crazy that people are so brainwashed nowadays
Or or just take a summer history course at a JC. It’s shorter, less stressful, and guaranteed transferable units.
I’m on my last weekend to study before the test and looks like IM COOKED 😱
This tells me how little I remembered/learnt in AP world last year.
Mandela actually helped to make the ANC abandon non-violence and was a member of the MK paramilitary
You only need to know about 1 of these in the Rook islands history exam.
I can confirm after taking that exam this year
I literally just googled adam smith 2 minutes ago with no clue who he was after seeing him on a website
I took AP classes in high school. Take it if you really want but like honestly sometimes it can just be more work for a weak course, especially depending on the teacher. Not sure about this one in particular
Solon,Kleisthenis,Periklis,Otto von Bismarck,Cyrus,Otto the Great,Octavian
There are sooo many more important people in history and they choose these guys??
Weird to ignore all the violent wings of the change 7,8,9 brought about.
The fact that I as a European history nerd with an interest so high most people don't even know what it is I'm talking about didn't know two and a half people on this list Zheng or how it was spelled and Bolivar plus the capitalism guy and it was Bolivar I had at least a vague memory of but we learnt someone else for capitalism and well school didn't care of Chinese history and I've been way too busy to have learnt about him
We’re distilling the Great Man Theory of history until we get down to the Best Man.
History is not about knowing history, is about being able to argue cause and effect.
Well, this would have been nice to know a few months ago
you cant say ghandi was non-violent after he sent everyone nukes
Bro giving me flashbacks of last year
