If you had to put money on college him being overly obsessed with a book which would it be? Atlas shrugged, Catcher in the Rye, or the Communist manifesto? :D
Hey, I have always carried a sense of Australian exceptionalism. We’re daggy and colonialist backwards like a cart pulling a horse on Mars. But we’re also have the oldest geography and continuous culture on earth, and some spectacularly strange wildlife. We are weird and dichotomous and full of extremes of weather. And New zealand is more so, and also better than us in almost every relevant way, and yet we look down on them.
If it were my series, I would start during the time of Charlemagne (late-700s CE). That's really when when Europe as we know it today started taking shape.
It would be cool if eastern europe and scandinavia is included in these series. Sometimes european history ends up being the history of western and central european countries.
@@wesha3953 There's no guarantee that those things are going to make it in just because they are within the timeframe. Because some history books/documentaries treat those parts of europe like they're not there at all. There's a history of oppression and thought that the sami, slavs and finns aren't europian, so when they're not included in europian history it does upset me. (I only represent myself here)
Nah, they are bound to cover The Ottomans, The 30 years war, the Russian Tzardom, The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Sejm, The Workers Movement and maybe the Swedish Empire and the Hansa + Hanseatic Wars in some shape or form. Kievan Rus would also be cool but if they start in the 14th century I don't know (could still squeeze in Alexander Newskii though).
So excited about this, I have a BA in history but I still use crash course for inspiration for some of my essays. Also I love the way John tells his narratives.
Feels very different from the American & World series, but overall, I like it. Kinda like crash course grew up in the last 4/5 years. It’s gonna be slower, less energy, fewer gags, but hopefully that means it’s more thought out (not that the first one wasn’t. Remember, relative terms here) and a bit deeper. So much has been written about European history, especially this era, you kind of need something new or different than what most of us know to keep people. I’m really excited for this.
the Byzantine Empire, Russian revolution, the spread of communism, countless wars due to oppression and religious persecution, the cold war, Nikola tesla(the reason you have electricity), the start of world war one, ancient Greece, 500 years of ottoman oppression, shall I go on? Just because this history wasn't shared with you doesn't mean it didn't happen. The fact that you believe that nothing of note happened in eastern Europe proves it needs to be discussed more.
Really glad to see you come back with the series again! There’s so much history in the world that’s so fascinating. Very excited John! Keep up the good work!
It's the sort of thing you get constant reminders of, really, but you still don't expect it to come from a video discussing the most recent 700 years of European history.
Well, to be fair, Europe as a myth is more "european" than actual reality. The history of Europe has as much to do with the propaganda as with actual fact. Herodotus, Caesar, Churchill, they all "wrote" history as much as they actually wrote it.
@@jamessimpson8641 I use quotation marks when I mean something figuratively. European as an idea is white Romano-German culture. Real Europe is very much a history of invasion. Cultures being smashed against one another. The second point I can simplify. Caesar is a primary source for the Roman invasions of Gaul and Britannia. We have no choice but to take his word. Highly biased in a good case, but the definition of propaganda in the worst case.
@@SaurianSavior Oh ok ya I think I get you. I'll do more research on the topic because I unfortunately know very little about pre-medieval European history. Thanks for the idea though
Finally, more Crash Course history!!! Edit: is it just me or does John Green talk slower than he used to? (Weird, I know, but I couldn't help but notice lol)
@@nicholasdalli6303 I guess livelong learning is one of the corner stones of Crash Course. John has been doing a podcast with essays for over a year now ("The Anthropocene Reviewed"), where he uses a more calm style, so I'm already used to this style.
The style of presentation and editing popular on RUclips (as well as for Crash Course in particular) has changed over the years. It wouldn't surprise me if it's a lot of small influences making it seem slower all around.
Asia is too big, to do things properly you would need one series on the Middle East and Central Asia another on East Asia, and another on South and Southeast Asia.
Looking forward to this. I hope it won't be 99% western europe (aka modern-day germany, uk, france, spain, italy) and that this series will cover the eastern, southeastern and northern parts too.
As he had mentioned, what’s even Europe? Europe history is heavily influenced by North Africa, Anatolia and modern day Levant, what if he can’t cover them? How could the story be told?
This goes directly back to the idea of what is Europe. Most of Central to Eastern Europe is geographically very difficult to defend. This is why Poland has a long history of being partitioned between Russia and the Germans. Much of the history of that region was (and arguably still is) both sides playing a very long chess game to stop the other from getting to much power and overwhelming the other. In fact, one of the main sparks that led to WW1 was Germany seeing an opportunity to attack Russia when they were in the middle of drastic military reforms. The Russian generals even begged the Tsar to keep the country out of the war until 1916 when the reforms would be completed. This was one of the main reasons the Germans slaughtered the Russians so badly in that war.
it's so different if you go and watch the first episodes of world history, john is fast paced and snappy, whereas now hes very relaxed and calm its a strange difference but i like it
Be me: Sees that a new crash course series starts, Relies that it's about history (witch I love), Sees that John Green is the host, Scream out in happiness for I have waited since world history for more history
I really hope to see a lot on the scientific revolution through to the enlightenment, so we can see how literacy and education lifted Europe out of the “dark ages”
Or hopefully how the "dark ages" weren't really that dark at all, that learning flourished under the Carolingian Renaissance, that the idea of the "enlightenment" itself (which, unlike the renaissance, was self-named) actively ignored the learning and scholarship of previous eras in order to claim it was "new."
Virtue signaling much? It should go by order of relevance. After this one do Asian history if it can be covered in one series if not split it into East Asia and the rest. After that it should be the Mediterranean world in ancient times covering everything from Sumeria to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. After that Medieval European history since it follows from the former. Then Mesoamerican and other pre-Columbian American history and only then African history. It needs to go by order of importance to world history. Yeah some gold mining in West Africa and a lot of mud huts in Zimbabwe are neat but not very relevant.
@@darthmortus5702 claiming that someone's history is more relevant than someone elses is a strange thing to say. Africa has a long and criminally underrepresented history. There's Egypt. There's Carthage. There is Kush. There is Axum. There is Ethiopia. There are the gold mining empires you mentioned. There are the city states on the Swahili coast trading with India since forever. There is the various slave trades and their impacts (depopulation of west Africa and the Congo, new kingdoms, escalation of warfare etc). Imperialism and the wars involved. The Boer wars. The world wars had profound influence on Africa. Decolonization and the ensuing conflicts all the way to the present day. All of that is relevant. I have no idea what you mean by virtue signaling in this context.
@@Oxtocoatl13 Clearly I have listed Egypt and North Africa under the Ancient Mediterranean so I don't see why you bring them up. There has always been a strong cultural and political rift across the Sahara. With Ethiopia bridging it somewhat, the rest is pretty irrelevant. I am not saying that Africa has no history, that is silly. But largely Sub-Saharan history has had little impact on the rest of the world so one can largely ignore it and still understand how the world became what it became. That is why it should be one of the last.
If they're starting in 1300, they might mention how Mongol trade routes facilitated the spread of the Black Death and other diseases. If they'll talk a bit about Russia specifically, they'll have to talk about the "Tartar yoke" under the Golden Horde, a Mongol successor state. Even if Genghis Khan is dead and his empire is fractured, there will be Mongols.
I want john green from the past back damnit I don't care that you are to old in my heart that old guy in the chair with the white background is still me asking dumb questions!!??
Love this so much and so complexly❤❤❤ You can always trust John with teaching you history, complexly, not just a mere stringing together of facts but a slew of questions, because that's what history is, not hard facts, but interesting (and often subjective and biased) questions. Thanks John, I'll see you next week. (or tomorrow if I wanna finish my syllabus on time haha)
Amon Ra It actually doesn’t cover the medieval period. We learn about medieval stuff in the beginning of the year but the AP test goes from the Renaissance to present
Yes I’m so happy to see John Green with an energy like this. I loved when he was fast paced and chaotic in the past crash courses, but I listen to the Anthropocene too and it’s comforting to see the range of his personality. Love you JG!!!
I can't wait to see your Europe's history crash course! I absolutely enjoyed your World History and US History works. Glad to see you back! I'm sure you serve as a great inspiration to many people, including myself.
'Me from the past' shall be missed! I'll never forget the conversation recounted with me from the past in American History episode about the civil war. Me from the past - 'Mr. Green! Mr. Green! Wasn't the civil war about state' rights and economics?' John, recounting his high school history teacher - 'A State's right to what Sir?'
I get Goosebumps, everytime there is a long narrative video you make explaining about the WHY part of subject . In India we miss that so much in our curriculum. Thank u for being so awesome always
So stoked to see another series come together! My AP Euro kids will definitely appreciate this as well during the next school year. Thank you John and the folks at Crash Course!
@@hq4287 Its an insult to compare African history to European History. North African (Arab) history is rich, sub-Saharan Black Africans history doesn't even deserve to be compared to the Europe and North Africa.
This is great, I would be in favor of these super localized history series. Like, I really want to learn more about Indian history but have never really found a good English series that I can listen to at work.
Welcome back John Green and crashcourse team! It's good to see a new history series. Times have changed, we're a little bit older- now I can enjoy a glass Of wine while I watch, but I'm loving the series all the same!
Even though I wish it would start at Charles the first of the Frankish empire, and how Europe became divided after Rome. There is still valuable information back there
Yes, but to borrow from CGP Grey, while there was Charlemagne before that and Rome before that and Pangaea before that, they have to start somewhere, and nearly a thousand years ago seems plenty far enough. If that means we must leave out Charles I, so it goes.
@@ComradeHellas Yeah, AP (short for Advanced Placement) refers to an advanced high school class leading to a standardized exam for college credit. A 5 on an AP exam is equivalent to getting an A in an equivalent college course, a 4 equivalent to a B, and so on. They're popular among high-achieving students as a chance to get a head start on their college education. I was able to skip a good chunk of my intro-level courses due to AP credit.
I see every crash course that show up on my notifications, but the one which I fall in loves and make me love this channel, was crash course world history..
Very cool. It's great to see you delivering new content, but I'm a little disappointed the start date is 1300. Don't get me wrong, I love late medieval and Renaissance history, but the Early and High Middle Ages need love too. I know that you covered the history of the ancient Greeks and Romans (and by extension Celtic and Germanic peoples) in other videos, but it would also be cool to see their inclusion in this series. The 14th century was great, minus the Black Death thing. Ouch.
I’ve been hoping for a new history series for a long time.
Yeah, It's almost like Crash Course has a.. History of making these videoes
Oh now I am hyped
That old world history intro still gives me nostalgic shivers
So The Fault in Our Stars money? is running dry ha?
Me too!!!
"You're retired, Me From The Past, I can't play 17 anymore" is honestly sadder than the snap imo
I feel this in my bones
I cried a bit
@@wafflenixon1767 same
"Hello! And Welcome to Crash Course History! I'm John Green!" I have not heard those words in literal YEARS!
Boy, am I happy to hear that again!
You said it ma man
Neither have I
You should watch World History more often. I usually give it a go once a year.
It has been 3,000 years...
Anybody notice John is slower in speaking this time? He was pretty fast and energetic the last time I saw him.
Also F for John from the past.
I noticed! He seems sad, somehow. Like he needs a hug and some chocolate...
He's getting old :'(
Deepak Marandi I think he’s just speaking slow because he got a lot of criticism for speaking to fast in his last series
@@anemedetn LOL
I even checked if I had the speed of the video set to 0.75 midway through xD
Me, seeing the title: YES!!!!
John: Yeah, you're retired, Me From The Past.
Me: *NOO!!!!*
+
Mabey he'll get bugged by John from the future?
I thought he was younger than 17, I think I judge him more harshly now.
Hahahaaha, nooOOOOO
for real, i felt the same thing
If he retires high school him, may be he'll debut a college him. An edgy political him. Y'all know what I'm talking about.
John Green from college has made an appearance, though I forget for how long
If you had to put money on college him being overly obsessed with a book which would it be? Atlas shrugged, Catcher in the Rye, or the Communist manifesto? :D
Ah, Imma miss "me from the past" :(
Same.
Here too ;-;
Im hoping me from the future will drop by instead haha
Maybe Stan from the past can make a cameo.
Me too :(
RIP John from the Past, I'll mourn your loss forever
Who loves crash course!!!(AND HISTORY!)CANT WAIT FOR THIS SERIES
ME!!!
Me too!!!
ME TOO
When you're in AP Euro this school year, I'm crying rn
It’s the right time period too...
AP Euro’s killing me 😭
yea the videos are wayyyy to late. im gonna fail
Same, but at least we have Tom Richey
@@sofiagregoris1655 true didn't think about that
Nooooo bring back young John! He’s an excellent vehicle for debunking historical generalizations!
They should thought bubble him
Maybe one of the younger interns can play that role.

And I love seeing angsty young John’s very assertive opinions!
FINALLY! HISTORY IS BACK! JOHN GREEN IS BACK! I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE CRASH COURSE WORLD HISTORY 2 FOR THIS!
Nooo... don't retire "me from the past". You can pull it off, John!
He couldn't pull it off back then either, but it was fun nontheless. Keep it up John!
I think I just cried a little. Been waiting 5 or so years for another history series from you guys. So excited :)
“There are really 2 continents”
*cries in Australian*
Lool
I mean, it's probably the largest of the island-class landmasses, right? So you still have that.
How is that even possible? Australia doesn't exist.
Hey, I have always carried a sense of Australian exceptionalism. We’re daggy and colonialist backwards like a cart pulling a horse on Mars. But we’re also have the oldest geography and continuous culture on earth, and some spectacularly strange wildlife. We are weird and dichotomous and full of extremes of weather. And New zealand is more so, and also better than us in almost every relevant way, and yet we look down on them.
things that doesn't exist:
1) my girlfriend
2) Denmark
3) Australia
If we could pump the entirety of this series out by May 8th,,,, that'd be great
I sense someone having a test coming up
Okay, history is great and all but what happened to Robot the dog? Did he survive the fall into the cave or what?
We need the answer to this. Whole series on Robot the dog
They got him back safely and he went with them on another expedition into the cave!
Whew
asking the important questions signal booost hnnnnnnggggggg
Presumably he fell backwards through time, and helped the ancient humans find the cave they would come to live inside of for so long.
0:20 NOOOOOOOOOO. Top 10 saddest anime deaths.
Sadly the series will not be done before the AP Euro exams
Sergio Ramirez sadly :(
*cries in AP*
I was happy for this series, then I remembered this fact
I need as many as possible before then so I can watch these instead of studying
@@KellieMSolar Haha same hopefully at least a couple come out by then
John Green dad: There are two continents
Australia: *Am I a joke to you?*
A continent (Oceania) with the population of a single city (Tokyo) is, indeed, a joke :P
i was hoping for the class to start all the way back from roughly the Roman Empire :/
also i miss John from the Past
If it were my series, I would start during the time of Charlemagne (late-700s CE). That's really when when Europe as we know it today started taking shape.
They should start from the time of the Neanderthals
I think they are doing this because they kinda covered these topics in the world history series
@@heathenfire nah fam that's way too far back
The Roman Empire is still around in the 1300s! Romans not Byzantines!
but Constantinople is on the European side of the straits.
It would be cool if eastern europe and scandinavia is included in these series. Sometimes european history ends up being the history of western and central european countries.
mostly "ooh watch italy, spain, france, germany and england did this!!!"
@@TheJulleful NoRtHeRnHiStOrY EaStErNhIsToRy Also he said 700 years so the swedish empire makes it in and so do the ottomans right
@@wesha3953 There's no guarantee that those things are going to make it in just because they are within the timeframe.

If any other Slavic country save for Russia and maybe Poland get mentioned ill be thoroughly surprised
Nah, they are bound to cover The Ottomans, The 30 years war, the Russian Tzardom, The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Sejm, The Workers Movement and maybe the Swedish Empire and the Hansa + Hanseatic Wars in some shape or form.

So excited about this, I have a BA in history but I still use crash course for inspiration for some of my essays. Also I love the way John tells his narratives.
Yes finally more history!
Yup 😁👍
ayo!!!!
There is always more history.
Antarctica: *Thinks it's a continent*
John: I'm about to end this man's whole career
Finally! The historian/writer is back!! Let’s jump into history and learn things! This time, the continent of Europe
It’d be great to do a series on African history. It’s truly fascinating!
Feels very different from the American & World series, but overall, I like it.

It sort of feels like a mixture of the previous crash course and Anthropocene Reviewed, to me.
Are we still gonna get the "wait for it... The MONGOLS!!!"?
Mongols aren t european
@@lordmoncef5494 yeah but they had a lot of interaction and a huge role to play in the European theatre of history as well
I’m looking forward to this more than Avengers Endgame

Wow... Cool.
@@nw9801 I think it will... And I'm hoping he does this globally because I've been thinking of modern history for a while now.
Same dude
well I wouldn't go that far but I am looking forward to this.
Yes, so excited for this series! As a long time student of European history I can't wait to see your take on it.
I have never been so gutted to have left high school, this series would have been so useful. However I am super hyped about this. Love your content.
Feels weird when last history videos were out I was in high school since then got a history degree and now in law school.
I really hope there is a focus on Eastern Europe as well as Western because the east is so often glimpsed over.
Ana Tuba and it should be
True but there should be more focus on Eastern Europe because Western and Northern Europe always hogs the spotlight when it comes to European History.
Grand Master Crusader almost nothing important ever happened on eastern europe
the Byzantine Empire, Russian revolution, the spread of communism, countless wars due to oppression and religious persecution, the cold war, Nikola tesla(the reason you have electricity), the start of world war one, ancient Greece, 500 years of ottoman oppression, shall I go on? Just because this history wasn't shared with you doesn't mean it didn't happen. The fact that you believe that nothing of note happened in eastern Europe proves it needs to be discussed more.
Ege Erdem what about Byzantine/Eastern Roman Empire, Russia, Greece, Ottoman Wars, Bulgarian Empires etc.
Really glad to see you come back with the series again! There’s so much history in the world that’s so fascinating. Very excited John! Keep up the good work!
"Earths all the way down, you see."
That sounds very familiar, doesnt it John?
it sounds a bit like a book that is now available everywhere where they sell books.
buy it.
As an italian student, i am so glad you speak more clearely in this new playlist.. i struggled a lot keeping up with your world history lessons.
knowing that crashcourse history is coming back made my day
I wish this was already done so I could use it for AP Euro

I’m so happy, I loved his other show back in the day and have been waiting for years for him to come back! I can’t wait for the new videos
Excited to spend more time with History Dad.
I remember watching the world history series when I was 12 and visiting France. Now I'm 6 years older and I still love these history series.
The year after I take AP Euro! Nevertheless still my favorite class. So excited for this series
Amon Ra It actually doesn’t cover the medieval period. We learn about medieval stuff in the beginning of the year but the AP test goes from the Renaissance to present
You guys don't have to apologize so much. We're on your side. We just want to see more history, and you do it the best. Thanks.
Binging these before the AP Exam during quarantine, can't stop this 5
Yes I’m so happy to see John Green with an energy like this. I loved when he was fast paced and chaotic in the past crash courses, but I listen to the Anthropocene too and it’s comforting to see the range of his personality. Love you JG!!!
OMG WHAT THE HECK IS EUROPE?!?
I can't wait to see your Europe's history crash course! I absolutely enjoyed your World History and US History works. Glad to see you back! I'm sure you serve as a great inspiration to many people, including myself.
When you are about to start AP Euro and this series is here
Thank You MR GREEN
Its nice to see John Green just explaining stuff in a more of a chill way
'Me from the past' shall be missed!
I'll never forget the conversation recounted with me from the past in American History episode about the civil war.
Me from the past - 'Mr. Green! Mr. Green! Wasn't the civil war about state' rights and economics?'
John, recounting his high school history teacher - 'A State's right to what Sir?'
I get Goosebumps, everytime there is a long narrative video you make explaining about the WHY part of subject . In India we miss that so much in our curriculum. Thank u for being so awesome always
These episodes better come out quick, my AP Euro test is coming up awfully fast.
So stoked to see another series come together! My AP Euro kids will definitely appreciate this as well during the next school year. Thank you John and the folks at Crash Course!
Will you do African History?
lol
That would be nice, African history barely gets any cover, despite of having almost as rich history as Europe.
@@ComradeHellas as a European I would say Africa has more history
Ben Hardy north africa, not bantus in sub sharan africa running around with stickspears
@@hq4287 Its an insult to compare African history to European History. North African (Arab) history is rich, sub-Saharan Black Africans history doesn't even deserve to be compared to the Europe and North Africa.
I’m beyond excited!! I love the series’s that John Green teaches, and I’ve waited SO LONG.
This is great, I would be in favor of these super localized history series. Like, I really want to learn more about Indian history but have never really found a good English series that I can listen to at work.
So glad John and crash course history is back.
Right after I finish my modern European history exam you announce this 😭
John Green was the savior of my AP class
if only this came when I started AP European History and not a month before the test lol
Welcome back John Green and crashcourse team! It's good to see a new history series. Times have changed, we're a little bit older- now I can enjoy a glass Of wine while I watch, but I'm loving the series all the same!
0:18 **proceeds to melt into dust, fading out of existence**
Super excited for a new CC history course! I'm not a teacher and I haven't taken AP Euro in a long time but I'm still hyped.
Even though I wish it would start at Charles the first of the Frankish empire, and how Europe became divided after Rome. There is still valuable information back there
Yes, but to borrow from CGP Grey, while there was Charlemagne before that and Rome before that and Pangaea before that, they have to start somewhere, and nearly a thousand years ago seems plenty far enough. If that means we must leave out Charles I, so it goes.
New Crash Courses History with John Green! I'm giddy with anticipation and mad joy.
Got a three in ap euro, could’ve used this before ahhh !! Still love learning history so I’ll be watching :)
Wendy SAME :’)
Is that an American thing?
@@ComradeHellas Yeah, AP (short for Advanced Placement) refers to an advanced high school class leading to a standardized exam for college credit. A 5 on an AP exam is equivalent to getting an A in an equivalent college course, a 4 equivalent to a B, and so on. They're popular among high-achieving students as a chance to get a head start on their college education. I was able to skip a good chunk of my intro-level courses due to AP credit.
@@maddie9602 Thanks I suppose
I see every crash course that show up on my notifications, but the one which I fall in loves and make me love this channel, was crash course world history..
Very cool. It's great to see you delivering new content, but I'm a little disappointed the start date is 1300. Don't get me wrong, I love late medieval and Renaissance history, but the Early and High Middle Ages need love too. I know that you covered the history of the ancient Greeks and Romans (and by extension Celtic and Germanic peoples) in other videos, but it would also be cool to see their inclusion in this series. The 14th century was great, minus the Black Death thing. Ouch.
This is going to be pure gold for the students in my classes!
